    I know this thread has been quiet for a while but so much info I thought I would continue rather than start new.

    Moved to Bacong last week only to find out I'm in a Globe new account freeze zone and pldt is a p50,000 line run down the road before they are an option. So...

    What model Huawei B593 LTE are you guys getting (u-12 or s-22)? How does it work with a tattoo prepaid 4G or LTE? What about kind of antenna?

    Last but not least, where are you guys buying them?

    Thanks

    This is a copy n paste from Here is some good news I posted,

    I have had Smart LTE for over a year with mostly good speed over 6 to 20mbps. around 2 weeks ago they statred capping my usage, around 1am it would be fast and by moning down to 0.05.

    A good friend of mine told me to buy a Kickstart sim pack. now after over 18 hours downloading a big movie and youtube all night here is my speed.
    Speedtest.net by Ookla - My Results

    Sometimes things get better....

    Update.
    As of now they do throttle me after a lot of downloading (re set's around 1am), but only the download, everything else still works very fast. I buy a Smart e-load then register to Surfmax.

    I live close enough to the airport to receive the signal from that tower, I was told that they have 6 LTE towers working now but not sure where.

    They have been providing these as the normal for years as you say, at least 4-5 years since they started. The cost is usually an additional fee for the first few months of some few hundred peso's more a month until paid off. This doesn't mean you own it though!

    The catch is their wifi routers are really trash for residential and just slightly better for business. The settings are also a nightmare and don't allow much customization as well for your wifi. But in the end it beats paying 3-4k peso's for a good one for most people that it doesn't matter so much.

    Where did you purchase your router and antenna? What model Huawei B593 LTE did you get (u-12 or s-22)? How can I find out who has the best speed towers in Bacong?

    I am only familiar with wired setups, this is the first cell-router-wifi setup for me and I don't have a good enough connection here to research better.

    If you have to do your own research, I would go to town and do it on my phone, that is why I have a big phone, or you could go to an internet café. If you need an internet café, I recommend the one at Whynot as they had a pretty good connection, when last I was there you get an hour for the cost of a drink. I had the double expresso. I would do the research for you but I don't know your issues, whether you are trying to optimize for Globe or Smart.

    My router is a Huawei cpe B593-1. I would be willing to bring my router to your place and see if it works there. If you like the idea shoot me a PM and we can work out the details.

    Never mind my previous post about my good internet, they have now gone to shite. Smart Lte now throttles me so fast weather I use it or not.

    I have been unplugging my router before the speed comes up around 1am. Now the next morning when my daughter plugs it in and goes on line, it throttles within 30 minutes of watching youtube. Yuck!!!!!

    At an average speed of 0.04 mbps I can still open DI but not much else.
