Tester: “Globe fastest, Smart second, Sun fails”

So, apparently under your typical, normal conditions, YouTube user MrSpeedoBear tests Smart Bro, Globe Tattoo, and Sun Broadband. The location? Somewhere at the Fort, “at a place called Stop Over”. The time? Around 9 pm-ish.

Here’s the video of MrSpeedoBear:

For those who don’t want to wait the 9-minute plus video to load, Globe Tattoo performed well compared to its competitors, taking significantly less time to load the “control” video. The final verdict of MrSpeedoBear is Globe first, Smart second, and Sun third. Or as the video description states: “Globe is the fastest, Smart comes in second, and Sun just utterly fails here.”

What about you, dear readers? Do you know anyone else who has actually gone through the trouble of comparing the three wireless broadband brands, recording and uploading a video of the experiment? MrSpeedoBear seems like the skilled amateur video producer, even creating a quick splash screen for his (I’m assuming from the voice that it’s a he) little test.

    apparently SUN is failing, I own one and I am thinking of switching to SmartBRO or Globe Tatoo.

    I own a Sun SWB and it sucks during the afternoon and early evening, though more often than not YouTube vids load fast enough even during peak hours (there’s a transmitter near our house, so that could be a factor), though torrent DLs only work well from 1am to 6am.

    Yes, I agree SUN is the fastest for me. Consistent 2Mbps.

    Sun is the best I’ve tried so far. :)

    I tested all 3 using speedtest.com and pingtest.com. I found SMART is fastest, Globe second (but bad), and Sun a very poor third. It depends on the area you live in. I would not use Sun as their service is very bad and their staff unknowledgeable and rude, especially in Sucat SM.

    It really depends upon where the giant antennas are situated. if u are near a smart tower, chances are u’ll have a very strong signal, and so goes with the other providers…
