For this special article I wrote a very honest review about the two most used USB internet sticks here in the Philippines, the Globe Tattoo stick 4G and the Smartbro Stick 3G. Honestly, there is no such good internet connection here in the Philippines, unless you paid for a costly plan in Globe or Smart. All the internet connections that the telecommunication companies provide here in our country sucks! And after years of using Smartbro stick for my internet connection, I switched to Globe Tattoo, and all I can say, Globe Tattoo stick internet connection is far way much better than Smartbro stick internet connection. Maybe it defends in your location though. Please have some time to read the 16 combined facts both for the Globe Tattoo Stick VERSUS Smartbro Stick.
