I'm currently using SmartBro Prepaid with a rate of Php20 per hour. I'm planning to change to SmartBro Plan 999 since it's unlimited. Because on my computation It will cost me more if I use the SmartBro Prepaid than Plan 999. I'm already selling my SmartBro Prepaid. One of these days, I will subscribe to SmartBro Plan 999. Since as of now, they have a promo, an HP All-in-1 printer that will only cost Php2,200 from the original price of Php1,399. How about you guys, what do you think is wiser to have, SmartBro Prepaid or SmartBro 999?

Yes, it's an ISP from Smart. As of now the conversion of US Dollar to Philippine Peso is around Php48.00 (1.00 US Dollar = 48.00 Philippine Peso). If I use SmartBro Prepaid, the rate for Internet access is around $0.42 per hour, while the Plan 999, you have a fix monthly bill of around $21, and it has unlimited Internet access. For additional info, the SmartBro Prepaid is in the form of like a Flashdrive where you can carry anywhere, just plug it to USB port. While the Smart Bro Plan 999 is in the form of a modem where it is steady connected in your house or the place you connected it. That's how the scenario goes.

I just have a correction on the original price of the printer, it's Php3,999 and not Php1,999. I had a typo error. Lol!

Wow? I think my ISP is cheaper. Btw, do you get the flashdrive or modem free from your provider? Or you have to pay it. Here, the subcribers have to buy the modem by theirselves. It around $100 for modem

i prefer smartbro plan 999. its more cheaper than the smartbro prepaid, because i got unlimited net connection with it. i just pay 999 per month, and got no limit. if its prepaid, you need to load always, and it is slower than the plan 999. Smartbro is cheaper, and much faster than prepaid. The only problem with plan 999, is that its fixed...the only thing i do not like with smart, is does it does not give static ip, it gives dynamics ones... i am thinking of changing it to a different net service, but do not know which one is it...

Hmm, what exactly are these plans? are they from ISP providers? I also dont recognize Php20, exactly- but being charged by-the-hour for internet seems foolish to me!
