In this day and age having an Internet connection is part of almost every household. I remember when we moved to our apartment nine months ago, the first thing I immediately processed was an Internet connection. I went to the nearest PLDT center, applied for a broadband connection, the day after it got installed. It was the first thing I did even before the remodeling of our unit was finished.
Evidently, I am a self-confessed Internet junkie avid user of the Internet. On a regular basis I am online 20 hours a day at least 5 days a week, so it really pays to have a stable, fast and reliable Internet connection. It has been part of my lifestyle and of my family’s, wherever we go and wherever we are, we make sure to stay connected online even on mobile. Yes, I confess that I rely on the Internet in more ways than one. As a mom it helps me get updated with the latest products and innovations for my family. It has also helped me get connected with other moms and parents (on Twitter and Facebook), to whom I share my experiences, adventures and struggles as a mother to a toddler and a pregnant mommy. As a homemaker, it has been my part of my therapy to Pinterest away home ideas that help me style and maximize the space of our apartment. The aspiring chef in me rely on Google for easy to cook recipes that I can prepare for my family while the frugal fashionista in me loves Ebay so much that having a stable and fast connection are very crucial in winning every item I bid on. And now that I have become a budding blogger and a social media practitioner, having a strong Internet connection is definitely a necessity to keep me available to communicate and stay updated with the people and community that inspire me to be a better person and also an influencer in my own circle.
Today, PLDT is launching their new home wireless broadband connection called myBRO. Smart BRO Canopy and Wimax will now be the new My BRO Wireless Home. It is a reliable internet service that uses the nationwide cellular network of Smart to wirelessly deliver internet service to a subscriber’s PC.
You might be wondering what’s the difference between Smart Bro and My BRO? Well, Smart Bro is the former brand of all the broadband services of Smart which includes Mobile Broadband services of Smart, which are Plug-it, Pocket Wifi, etc. and Fixed Broadband which are Bro Canopy and Wimax. Today, the Fixed Wireless variants – Canopy and Wimax – will now have a new brand name under My Bro. This is now included under the HOME megabrand powered by PLDT and Smart. I’m currently subscribed under PLDT DSL plan 990.
If you’re an existing subscriber like me, there’s no need to worry about changing subscription plans since myBRO will have no impact with your current package, you can still enjoy your broadband connection. Both myBRO and PLDT myDSL are high speed broadband internet services which offer basically the same experience: PLDT myDSL utilizes PLDT’s telephone lines while myBRO utilities its cellular network to deliver internet service.
MyBro Canopy offers two subscription plans that is suited for every household; myBRO Plan 799 and myBRO plan 999.
With myBRO plan 799, you get:

Thank you for the info. I applied online yesterday and someone called me using a “SUN mobile number”… ( which is a little weird ) I couldn’t talk to the agent because he called during my class. I’ll just decline my online application and I’ll just personally go to one of the nearest Smart Wireless Center. Thank you and God bless. ^_^

I learned a lot from reading this blog. I processed my subscription today and was told to wait 3 days for the installation. I was curious if there are some sort if system requirements and you answered them for me. Thanks and keep on blogging 🙂

HI,
I would like to inquire with myBRO plan 799.. We are living in Makato, Aklan in a village with out any line from PLDT or any telecommunication company lines.
At the moment we are using mobile with the internet using globe sim card but we are facing bad signal every time we had a chat at home.
So if you could give us more information and full details with your product it would be great.
Hoping and looking forward hearing from you soon.
Thank you,
Amarie
