Smart Communications Inc. (SMART), the country’s leading wireless services provider, now offers a new postpaid plan which lets Smart Bro subscribers enjoy unlimited, high-speed broadband access at the flat rate of only P1,500 per month.

Offered by SMART-subsidiary Smart Broadband, Inc. (SBI), Smart Bro provides wireless, high-speed Internet access by connecting to SMART’s nationwide mobile broadband coverage.

The new Smart Bro Plan 1500 comes with Smart Bro’s Plug-It, a USB stick-type modem – which can be used right out of the box after a quick and easy installation — making the service extremely portable and user-friendly, and gives broadband speeds of up to 2 mbps.

The new plan also comes with unlimited Wi-Fi access at all Airborne Access hotspots all over the country. Airborne Access is the country’s largest Wi-Fi hotspot operator, and is a subsidiary of PLDT, SMART’s parent company.

“This new plan increases the broadband options available to our subscribers and gives them the freedom and flexibility to access and benefit from the Internet as long as they want, from wherever they are in the country,” said Ava Española, product manager of Smart Bro.

SMART’s expanded and upgraded network coverage offers High-speed Packet Access (HSPA), which is the faster version of the original 3G technology. The entire Metro Manila area, as well as all major towns and municipalities from Ilocos Norte to Davao del Sur, are now covered with HSPA – or high-speed broadband experience on a mobile device, such as a mobile phone or a Smart Bro USB modem.

Applying for a Smart Bro Plan 1500 subscription is quick and easy. Interested individuals just need to fill out an application form, and present a valid proof of identification, a proof of address, and a financial document such as one’s latest income tax return, current bank statement, or a bank certification letter, at any SMART Wireless Center nationwide.

Initial cash-out for the 24-month subscription is only P1,500, which serves as the first monthly subscription fee (MSF).

“As we innovate and offer more and more services under our mobile broadband portfolio, we hope to advance SMART’s vision of ‘Internet for All’, or to bring the benefits of broadband Internet to grassroots level,” said Española.

SMART now has over 3,300 wireless broadband-enabled base stations providing high-speed Internet access to over 949 cities and municipalities nationwide. Smart Bro is an important component of the PLDT group’s strategy to be at the forefront of “broadbanding” the country.
