Digitel makes 8 million subscriber mark

By the end of 2008, SUN Cellular broke the 8M subscriber mark. To be exact, they report 8,154,202 subscribers from the end of the year.

Here are some fun facts from 2008:

Sun Cellular subscribers transmitted 59.72 million text messages daily in the last quarter of 2008; 49.53 million in the third quarter; 49.28 million in the second quarter; and 46.33 million in the first quarter last year. By the end of 2008, Sun Cellular was able to put up 3,230 cellular sites, while its network coverage in 130 cities stood at 95.58 percent and 85 percent in 69 provinces.

DMPI usually sets aside about $300 million every year to finance its 3G (third-generation) mobile business, expand broadband service and increase cellular sites, Digitel president and chief executive officer James Go was earlier quoted as saying.

Congratulations SUN!

Google Keyword Tool Search

Was doing some searching with Google Keyword Tool. Three most popular keywords for SUN are listed above. I'm not too sure about this -- but for keyword search, the fact that the word "problems" or anything in the pejorative do not appear on search, does it mean that the complaints are slowly moving away? :)

Digitel / SUN is also on Facebook and their admin is a friend of mine from way back.

SUN Cellular Broadband

I've been hearing a lot of good things with regards to the SUN Cellular broadband service. Thus far, when you mention SMART or Globe's wireless broadband service, you get mixed reactions (often in the negative) with performances that vary based on your location. Somehow, SUN's wireless service seems to be delivering.

I just hope it's a real product. You know what I mean. When we talk of brand authenticity, we're looking at a SUN broadband service that's good not just because it's new. I want to fast forward to several months from now and see whether I can gain the same feedback on how allegedly fast the service is.
