Very early in the morning of January 8, 2014 my Globe WiMAX modem rebooted. After it restarted I found that I could no longer connect to any cellsite. I called the Customer Service and asked for support. The lady at the other end said that their technicians are all tied up at the moment. They would only be able to check my modem after three days.
These days it is unimaginable for anyone to have no internet access for three days. More so if you are an online worker.
So I borrowed my sister's old Smart 3G USB stick. I also bought a CDR King WR-NET-032-CC (WU260) 3G Broadband USB Modem. My sister's 3G USB was very old. I think it was the first model that came out when smart started offering 3G internet. I thought that CDR King's 3G USB might perform better because it is a newer model.
Here are my findings:
CDR King 3G USB Advantages
1. Open line. You can use Smart, Globe, or Sun Cellular SIM.
2. Burst Speed 7.2 Mbps. I've seen it burst to 3 Mbps
Disadvantages
1. Weak Signal Reception. I've tested it many times at different locations in the house and the old
Smart USB stick's reception always comes out better.
2. Average Bandwidth is Slower. Weaker signal results to slower internet speed.
3. Can't register to UNLISURF. For some reason my unit would not allow me to subscribe to Unlisurf.
If anyone experienced a different result with regards to this issue, please feel free to leave a comment.
In conclusion, I could not recommend buying it because of weaker performance compared to even a very old Smart Starter Plug It.

Early 2014
The second day of January 2014 is about
to end. Every late in the year people await December 31, the last
day of the year. Everyone is full of hope because everyone gets a
sense of renewal. If we made a mess during the previous months of the
year, we can all start again, everything resets during midnight of
the last day of the year.
But now it is January 2. Tomorrow is January 3. The days will pass quickly and then we will find ourselves staring at another new year. The question at the end of the year is, what change happened to us? Did we progress? Did we regress? The hope is, we come out a better person every time. Whatever your definition of a better person is: whether achieving goals you've set out for yourselves, or becoming kinder, more compassionate, being able to do something that benefits many, or gaining a better understanding of ourselves which can help in a lot of areas in our lives.
It is January 2. The rest of the year is like a blank canvas. What image will you paint? Will you paint something happy? Will you paint something sad unaware? Will you paint your year neutral? Will you paint something vibrant? What ever you do during the coming days will determine the outcome of your personal painting.
Here is to working and hoping that we end up with our personal masterpiece.
