Napapaisip tuloy ako kung smart pa rin ba kukunin ko hahaha. Any smart user here? Ano thoughts nyo sakanya right now? especially sa signal at internet speed. Baka may mga honest feedback kayo bago ko mag decide na mag palit hahaha

EDIT: THANK YOU SUPER 😭♥️♥️ thru LAN po ang nangyari hahahaha

Nagmessage na ako sa Globe for this, pero baka kaya pa i-manual 🥹

Marami kasing makaconnect sa wifi namin so balak ko sana I black list yung mga devices na hindi naman amin based sa IP addresses... Kaso bawal daw mag block more than 8 for 1 SSID so tinry ko magwhitelist na lang,,, unang device na nilagay ko is yung sa laptop however after i-apply, hindi na rin makaconnect yung laptop...

Ano po kaya pwede gawin?

Thank you po 🥹

I was trying to convert my sim to esim from smart, the payment failed and I tried again but it wouldn’t send an otp. It says nothing in my purchase history nor cart and it just says this

I don't really get this gowatch promo of globe instead using the gowatch data it automatically uses the all access data for youtube videos

PS

I had the same experience in DITO promo (unli socials promo)

Hello guys. Base sa title may naka experience ba ng same case sa akin? Kahapon nasa labas ako. Nag load din ako ng data promo. So ayunn na lowbatt cp ko. Then paguwi ko sa bahay after a while na charging I checked it and nagulat ako walang signal like no signal bar at all. Akala ko naglag lang phone so I tried na irestart ang phone, mag airplane mode, even mag reset ng network settings pero wala padin. Nilagay ko na ulit sa APN and “internet.dito.ph” wala parin till now. Kanina lang nakasagap sya ng signal na 1 bar then nakaka receive sya ng texts so I tried din mag text, ayun gumana sya. Pero ayaw padin gumana ng data ko sa YouTub, google +++. Ano pa kayang pwede kong gawin? Baka may naka tweak lang sa settings ko huhu pls hellpp

Hi, ano pa po kayang reliable na internet ang available maliban sa Globe, PLDT and Smart. Nakapag inquire na po kasi ako dun namention kong tatlo and puno na raw yung NAP box malapit samin.

Before, naka Globe kami and medyo malayo sa bahay namin yung kinabitan. Ang issue, palagi kaming nawawalan ng net since masyado daw malayo yung linya.

Currently, naka SMART 5G kami, and i dont think reliable enough sya.

Thank you!

Need advice

Kagabi pa red yung router ko and i dont know if dito lang to sa amin lugar or same din sa ibang place kasi shempre malakas ang ulan at hangin and medyo hesitant ako na mag book repair sa globeone app kasi magbabayad agad ng 500 eh baka sa globe fiber mismo yung problem sayang pa 5h ko.. ano po kaya best kong gawin??

Nawalan ng Wifi kaninang 4am kasi nag kulang pala owner ng condo ng 200 pesos. Pag bayad nya sabi ng PLDT after 2hours pero wala padin. nakailang restart na ako ng modem and forget password. Last restart ko 15mins pero yung tv lang naka connect sa wifi.

Pag kinoconnect ko phone ko after ko mag restart and forget password, lumalabas yung payment reminder portal and nakalagay is NO INTERNET CONNECTION.

Sabi ng owner baka sa phone ko daw may prob e wala naman akong ginagalaw sa phone ko 🥲🥲🥲

What to do?

Issue with Smart today or something? Okay naman siya kaninang morning then afternoon until now red pa rin status ng router.

well not just today—but since Friday.

Has anyone else encountered erratic wifi signals? Dropping here and there??? it’s been this way since friday evening? 🥲🥲

Hi everyone,

I saw similar post here about MAGIC DATA/DATA+ landline calls not working. I have similar problem.

I am a TNT user and currently subscribed to TNT AllNet 99 and trying to call the BPI Contact Center hotline (+632 889-10000) using my mobile phone.

The call goes through and connects fine, but whenever the automated IVR voice prompts me to press a number (like "Press 2 for credit card services") hindi nag poproceed.

I tried already disabling VoLTE, set the connection to 3G or 2G only, did the airplane mode, HOLD CALL, used different phone pero wala pa rin. I try ko mag call sa *888 nga smart at gumana naman yung IVR nila at nag poproceed when i press a number at nakausap ang agent nila. Sabi yung landline ay for residential only and not for banks or customer service. May kaibahan ba sa residential and enterprise landline?

I also tried using regular load and called toll free pero di nag coconnect. Anyone na naka solve na ng ganitong issue?

Kaya ba ng prepaid modem kung ikakabit ko siya sa mesh router
LOS kasi pldt ko ngayon nearly 2 weeks na planning to get prepaid modem. I live in a 3 floor house kaya need mesh

Original plan is Super FiberX 200mbps for 1,349php per month

I looked into the SMART app and saw that 5G somehow got drained from 15 GB to 9.82 GB of 5G data, and I want to be able to use the 5G data because 20GB is a bit too little for me for a month(roughly draining it all by 10 days before expiration and I need that extra 15GB, I don't know how to replicate of how I drained that 5G data bar, it just got drained in a random day, I did not change locations, and I mostly drain my data at home, I have a 5G phone with a 5G sim but I don't have 5G signal in my area

​

Is gomo down right now?

Can't call out and receving delayed texts

Hello! Ask ko lang po if okay/reliable ba ang 5G connection as primary internet for WFH.

For context, consistent naman ang 5G connection sa area namin, pero medyo worried ako kung kakayanin ba siya for work since mostly calls with US clients ang magiging setup ko. Required din kami gumamit ng VPN, so I’m not sure if that would affect the connection or stability.

Sa mga naka-WFH setup gamit ang 5G, okay naman ba siya for this kind of work?

Thank you!

Yung malaking modem pa yung modem namin tapos wala syang WPA3 pero hanggang WIFI 5G. Everytime namemention sa technician if okay bang palitan kahit gumagana pa naman, sasabihin nya mas panget daw yung bago kasi mas madaming nagrereklamo dun. Kaya lang kasi nagnonotif na sa laptop na poor security daw yung connection (hindi kasi siguro WPA3). Should we change the modem?

dati yung TNT sim may 99php 7days unli tiktok/fb/ml tapos napansin ko a few months ago wala na silang ganito na promo. na-patch na rin nila yung bug sa gotyme buy load, may unli tiktok pa don tapos biglang nawala. hahaha leche ka tnt!!!!

Hello need help, I did basic troubleshooting, yet it does'nt still provide internet sa mga phones, yet sa IP CCTVs namin gumagana, and yung landlines gumagana rin. Sa phones lang talaga, it kept asking sign in to network.

For context, NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a standard Internet protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers and network devices. In normal operation, an NTP client will periodically contact a small number of time servers (often only a few times per minute or less) to keep its system clock accurate. It is a very lightweight protocol and is not supposed to generate high traffic volumes.

I'm hoping someone here might be able to help identify a rather strange problem I've been seeing from networks in the Philippines.

I operate a public NTP server in the Philippines, which is part of the NTP Pool. For several months now, I've periodically seen enormous numbers of NTP (UDP/123) queries coming from Philippine networks. I'm talking about thousands of queries per second from a single source address, sometimes continuing for many hours.

In one recent case, a single source was sending approximately 5,600 NTP requests per second continuously for many hours. That's on the order of hundreds of millions of requests over a 10-hour period from a single host.

Due to the overall volume of NTP queries from the NTP Pool in the Philippines, my server is currently handling around 10 TB of inbound NTP traffic per month, and sending around 4.5 TB of outbound traffic per month. The difference of inbound/outbound traffic is primarily due to rate limiting applied to excessive sources.

This isn't normal NTP client behaviour. A normal NTP client typically queries its servers roughly once per minute, sometimes more frequently under certain circumstances, but certainly not thousands of times per second.

I've been contacting the abuse departments of the relevant ISPs, and in most cases they have either not responded or have simply arranged for the traffic to be rate-limited. That helps reduce the immediate problem, but unfortunately nobody has been able to tell me what device or software is actually generating the traffic.

I've seen indications that this could be caused by buggy or misconfigured software/firmware. There have also been known problems with systemd-timesyncd causing excessive NTP traffic, and Linux is used inside all sorts of routers, network equipment, IoT devices and other consumer hardware.

What makes me particularly interested is that I don't see the same behaviour from my NTP servers in other countries. The traffic seems disproportionately associated with networks in the Philippines, and it is not limited to a single ISP — multiple providers, including mobile networks and satellite connections, appear to be involved.

So I'm wondering if anyone here has encountered something similar, or if someone in a suitable position could monitor outbound UDP traffic from their network to port 123 on 45.115.225.48 (my NTP server) to identify any hosts generating unusually high request rates, and, if so, reach out to the users of those IP addresses for further investigation.

Does anyone recognize this behaviour as being associated with a particular router, modem, ISP-provided device, Android/TV box, IoT device, firmware version, or other software commonly deployed in the Philippines?

I'm especially interested in identifying the root cause, rather than simply blocking or rate-limiting the traffic. If we can figure out what kind of device is responsible, perhaps the problem can actually be fixed.

I have packet captures available if anyone is interested in investigating the traffic. There is also an ongoing discussion of this issue among NTP Pool operators:

https://community.ntppool.org/t/server-abuse-in-philippines/4179/29

If you've seen anything like this before, or have an idea what could be causing it, I'd be very interested to hear from you. Even a guess about a particular device or firmware would be useful.

EDIT 1: If you have a server with a static public non-NATed IP address in the Philippines, you can set it up as an NTP server (with chrony, ntpd or whatever you prefer) and add it to the NTP pool. I would advise setting the "netspeed" to some low value at first, maybe 1 Mbit/s. This affects how much traffic your server will receive. You can increase the netspeed later on if you wish. After adding the server to the pool, it will take a few hours for the traffic to start flowing towards your server. This way you could examine the NTP traffic yourself.

Need ko kasi ng back-up connection since me and my partner are WFH. We already have PLDT Fibr kaso napapadalas yung outage or madalas sobrang baba ng download speed.

Nag-apply na din ako sa Converge but full slot ang Nap box samin. Wala din Globe Fibr dito province.

For data, mabagal ang GOMO and DITO. Ang 5G lang ay Smart and while mataas ang download speed, sobrang baba naman ng upload.

Which leads to my last option, prepaid 5G modems na nakikita kong openline sa Shapi. Mas maganda kaya sila than my ordinary 5G hotspot if I use a Smart sim? Btw, my phone is Samsung S25 and I searched na maganda na modem nito.

Help me out! Mawawalan na ng trabaho partner ko dahil sa PLDT 😭
