I was in vacation for the last few weeks and noticed that I can’t send emails using outlook express through my smart bro connection, but when sending emails via webmails they are being sent. Although I can receive emails… At first I think there was just few issues on my notebook, but when I went back to the office things are normal.
So I think Smart Bro blocks the SMTP port….
I’ve been long planning to subscribe to a local internet connection in Baguio where i stay during weekdays so I can access my job even at home. So I asked my wife to find a good option for us. The cheapest way to go for now is SmartBro Broadband. giving us 999 pesos per month on a promising 7 times faster than dialup. (or just another marketing pitch!).
It is also my sole purpose to have a daily (cheaper) communication medium to my family. Thinking it would be of ease, not just another head ache (:D)
I’m a little excited and worried at the sametime. I’m excited cause I will soon have an internet connection at home, but worried that I might experience the same problem as other subscribers are experiencing on the same service. Some even call it SmartBroken? lol that was funny… I hope I am not really going to post several rants against the service on the newly installed blog. hopefully. so Smartbro, make me proud!
Tomorrow I will know the details, and starting saturday i will be able to try it out myself wether or not smartbro really is a solution or a pest. 
What do you think?
