Share ko lang mga sir, na-observe ko humina yung signal ko since last week to 2 bars sometimes 1 bar lang,usually kasi 4 bars dun sa kinalalagyan ko ng modem. Tumawag ako sa customer service ang sabi nila ok naman daw ang signal sa area namin. Try daw reset ang modem (ayaw pa din). Try ko nilipat yung modem sa ibang lagayan na madalas mahina yung signal at yun bumalik ang 4 bars. Ang weird... :? Pero all good, at least bumalik sya sa dati. :2thumbs:

Mga bro sa mga naka 598 plan lumalagpas ba kayo sa monthly allowance nyo na 1 GB? Sakin kasi nung 1st mont usage umabot ako ng 9 GB plus tapos ok naman then sa second month 4 GB plus lang na throttled na ako. Tumawag ako sa Support sabi 3-5 days daw bago malift yung fair usage policy. After 5 days ganung parin speed ko.. Siguro hanggang katapusan na yung speed ko. Na aasar na ako..

basta rule of thumb... Metro Manila area sure yan. depende na lang din sa spot mo. kung nasa metro manila area ka nga pero nasa basement ka or nasa 2nd floor basement or mas malalim pa. wala din masasagap na signal yan. the higher your spot / or more open spot on metro manila area sureball yan.

Saan ka ba banda? Kasi taga muntinlupa ako at dinala ko na yung Wi-Tribe ko sa bahay ng friend ko sa BF, lumilitaw 2-3 bars sa kanila. Bale yung bahay niya malapit sa intersection ng Elizalde at Aguirre Ave.

eto summary ng experience ko sa wi-tribe.
2mbps, eastwood area

PROS:
o always connected
-> di ko pa naranasan mawalan ng connection
o good signal (at least in my area)
-> consistent 4 bars
o get more what you pay for during off peak (rarely)
-> minsan umabot ng 3mbps kapag madaling araw, usual is up to 1.x mbps

CONS:
o not recommended for online gaming
-> laggy pero somehow acceptable (napa 50 ko AC brotherhood ko dito sa tiis)
o poor customer support
-> 5x na ko bumalik sa store nila kung di pa ko nagalit di pa nila aayusin
o not for video streaming
-> 1 min video = ~2 min buffer time
o less than 50% speed during peak hours
-> range ko from 80kbps to 600kbps

Hmm, Not recommended for Online Gaming?... I would agree kung icocompare mo ito against a wired connection, but Wi-Tribe is WIRELESS.. Compare it to other Wireless Internet connection and lets see which wireless internet connection would work best for online gaming.. You cannot compare "apples against PINEapples"...

And then you said "Kung di ka pa nagalit, di pa nila aayusin?" I thought you said sa PROS na: always connected, Good signal, get more what you pay for during off peak?

I somehow agree for VIdeo Streaming, mabagal nga, that is Streaming.. Meaning as in LIVE. Pero when watching videos that are NOT Live streaming, well, its fast. You name it, Youtube, Vimeo etc. Even in HD Quality.

During Peak hours, well, I tried speed testing it and its good, may times na mababa ang result sa speedtest pero hindi mo ramdam kahit peak hours kasi mabilis sa browsing naman. so no contest to that. Nakadepende na sa area/account/usage ng owner yan.. May iba na talagang mabagal sa peak hours, may iba na ok naman ang speed kahit peak hours..

just my two cents..

Hmm, depende sa game na lalaruin mo, may mga games kasi na mataas speed hungry like mga games na madaming users na naglalaro tapos mabilisan pa it would help kung mas mabilis ang witribe connection mo for that. Kung ang madalas mo naman laruin is yung siguro 1 on 1 like basketball, boxing, versus games and the like maski 1mbps ayus na yan.

But what I recommend doing first is try using your witribe on a higher area para mas maganada ang sagap ng signal. Or try bringing it on a friend's/cousin's house para ma evaluate mo kasi baka location lang ang problem ng Wi-Tribe modem mo para mafeel ang difference ng speed.
