Smart LTE Launched! [Plans and Promos]

Today, Smart launched their 42Mbps wireless internet service! Smart is the first commercial LTE service provider in the Philippines and because of this, we are now one of the first few countries in Asia with LTE!

Smart LTE is the future of mobile broadband. Not only does this have the fastest wireless connectivity, it has also very low latency (This will definitely benefit gamers). Given that, it will be even smoother and faster compared to most fixed wired connection (DSL or Cable internet).

Coverage
It is already available in high traffic areas around Metro Manila and they are working on the other places. Soon, the coverage will be extensive! In case there will be some places without LTE signal, the dongle will be able to connect to Smart's 4G HSPA+ or 3G or 2G services. In short, it is backwards compatible.

With 42mbps, there will be no more lags, no more long waiting, no more frustrations! If you need something faster, try out PLDT's Fiber-to-the-home (Wired connection). That service is capable of delivering speeds up to 100Mbps!

Is it worth it?
If you have the need for speed, this is definitely very worth it! In other countries like the US, it would cost you around 500 pesos per GB and around 700 pesos for that same amount of data in other Asian countries. Here, It's just 3,500 for 10GB then just add 450 pesos per GB!

Smart LTE Promo
Good news! Smart is offering UNLIMITED LTE data download until October 25, 2012! This means that you can enjoy UNLIMITED LTE with speeds up to 42Mbps until you run out of hard disk space to download until that day! [24-month lock-in period]
