Are you using SmartBRO? Well, let me give you an overview to the real thing about this broadband connection. Alright, SmartBRO is part of SMART communication, Philippine's largest telecommunication provider. It has so many types from wired to wireless product. What type of product are you using right now?

SmartBRO offers plan 999 available on post-paid basis good for two years. Also, there's a prepaid for those who don't like the post-paid one. One problem with post-paid plan is the lock-in period of 2-years. It's a big problem because you need to finish it or else pay the corresponding termination fee.

SmarBRO connections doesn't work well in closed places like mountain area unless near the tower, inside the sealed house (must prefer used it near the window) and most specially during night time.

Check out below my connection speed as of writing this post. What do you think?

I been using SmartBRO plug-it for almost a year already. I feel so BAD as well like those happenings to most subscriber of this broadband provider. You need to patiently report the issue and patiently wait for the refund if ever. I experienced the refund and the connection still sucks big time. However, I don't have the choice because phone lines can't reach my location. In the meantime, will use this device. Hoping they will stabilize the system!

Basic How-to of Blogging 101

I am finally back here! It's time to write some basic stuffs of my journey to the world wide web. This blog had been inactive for more than a year already because of so many online projects and offline activities of its owner. Now, it's my legacy to turn this blog to a more meaningful medium of inspiring people to write and love blogging passionately.

Blog represents free and paid pages on the web today. Generally the term blog refers to any site maintained by individuals who expressed their thoughts and opinions on various trends like entertainment, gadgets, politics, sports and many more. However, not all blogs are informative as some may only based on writer's point of view. So, better to search for trusted individuals for any information gathering.

How do we start setting up a blog? Here's a simple guide for readers and colleague who asked me many times on how they can start with their blogging.

1. Think of a Blog Niche (topic) first
2. Apply for an email account (preferably a Gmail account but other free email providers also works. The purpose of referring gmail because of services switching wherein gmail and blogger are services under Google)
3. Sign-up on Blogger.com (Fill up all the data including the names, emails and etc. I do suggest you use other fancy names if you find hard to put your real name. Then, think of a good URL for your blog example http://reinvaldez.blogspot.com for general blog and you can possibly set related URL to topic like http://iwatchtvshow.blogspot.com for TV episodes) Note! You can used on your URL dashes and no dots and underscore!
4. Successful? Congratulations!

Will update the page with the next wave of per post configuration on how to configure very well your blog. So set back and relax!
