Speed Up Sun Broadband

Are you experiencing slow internet connection? Did you think about giving up? A lot of work to be done, yet your productivity is being hampered by slow internet connection? Now, stay relaxed, I will be share everything I knew about how to increase or boost your broadband internet speed, particularly, the Sun Broadband.

There are two (2) ways to Boost Sun Broadband:

1. First, through Profile Configuration. By default, it has 5 profiles with respective dynamic settings. Dynamic IP’s (Internet Protocol) and dynamic DNS’s (Domain Name System). It means that every time we use it, it will always search for whatever available IP’s DNS’s. The reason that most of the time it cannot give us the best performance we wanted.

To Boost Sun Broadband we need to add “new profile” and use a static DNS. The free one from Google. Static DNShelp boost Sun Broadband because it will not seek for available DNS anymore since it’s already there. The remaining job it has to do, is to find only an IP address. It is less job, faster broadband. How to do it? Just follow the steps below.

  • Disconnect first your Sun Broadband
  • Go to “Tools”  then  “Options”
  • Click “Profile Management”  then “NEW”
  • Input everything as is, as what the images shown below

If you followed the instructions correctly, you should experience a slight improvements of your internet connection. How about the second method?

2. It is through RAS (Remote Access Service) modem and NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) options.

By default RAS modem is selected change it to NDIS. If you are connected to internet using RAS modem, the icon looks like you are connected via DSL. While NDIS resembles as if you are connected to a WIFI connection. In my research NDIS is more stable against RAS modem in terms of signal transmission. However, RAS modem has the edge in terms of networking capability. Therefore, NDIS is appropriate in BOOSTING SUN BROADBAND. A simple guide below will surely help you.
RAS modem             NDIS

Sun Broadband RAS modem and NDIS
  • Disconnect your Sun Broadband
  • Go to “Tools”, “Options”  then “General”
  • Select “NDIS”

There you have it, you just completed the two ways of boosting your broadband. I believe at this point you are now having a better online experience. If you are still having a trouble, proceed below.

Boost Sun Broadband Connection’s Ultimate Guide

In this method, you need to input commands in command prompt as we optimize your MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) and Autotuning. Hmm? Sounds difficult but it’s not. Everything will be provided by me. So let’s get started.

  • Go to “Start”, “All Programs” and “Accessories“
  • Right click “Command Prompt“.
  • Run it  “As Administrator“.
  • In “Windows Command Prompt Window” type “netsh interface ipv4 show subinterface” to show your “Broadband’s Network Connection and MTU value“. The default MTU is usually 1500, we will change it to 1453 to make it optimized.
Check-Sun-Broadband-MTU
  • To do it type, “netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface “Your Network Connection” mtu=1453 store=persistent.

Note: My network connection is “Mobile Broadband Connection”, as you can see in the image below, yours may be different.

Sun Broadband-Setting-MTU
  • Then, let’s proceed to checking your autotuning’s settings by typing “netsh int tcp show global” If the value is disabled or normal, set it to high, by typing this command “netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=high“

Finished? The tutorials above will surely help improve your broadband’s internet connection. Personally, I followed everthing in this post with no issues. The first two method will help you boost your Sun Broadband. Then the ultimate tweak will add a slight increase in your internet connection plus it will stabilize the connection of your Sun Broadband.

    thanks.

    • Hi Fe, yes by setting your auto tuning level to HIGH, the normal status will be change to highly restricted. If you continue to receive limited connection status. please see your nearest Sun Broadband branch.

    • Hi Grace, you have a genuine Sun Broadband pocket Wifi. However, to have 4G connection, it will highly depend on your location. You should ask the nearest Sun Broadband office in your area. Please also take note that Sun Broadband has a capping or download data limit. Once you reach the limit your connection will be throttle down to 2G connection.

      Reply

      • It’s just a waste of load. Sun broadband please improve your service. I though 4G will be fast but I am disappointed, the connection is very slow. No problem with the signal, we are in second floor, the real issue is the Sun broadband slow internet connection.

        Reply

        • Hi Grace, I respect your sentiments, it’s your right anyway. If I were you, get a DSL connection like what I did. DSL is faster with no capping. If you are on-the-go, just load your phone via prepaid mobile internet. Because we can do nothing about Sun Broadband internet speed issues, its their discretion. It started after Smart bought Sun Broadband.

          This article is intended only on how to strengthen signal and also how to speed up Sun broadband, if the issue is on the user’s end. However, if the problem is on Sun Broadband service, then, this doesn’t apply.

    • Hi Amy, I am sorry to hear that but since October 2014 it’s quite hard to download using Sun Pocket WiFi. It’s fast the first time you use it but after you downloaded or try to download anything, the connection will throttle down making it unable to download and even to stream videos.

    I am using huawei E5220, i can only access the settings thru my mini ipod and i am very confuse how to boost my pocket wifi, i am so disapointed for the service i got, is it possible that i can change the settings thru my ipod? I already explore the setting but i cannot see the intructions u have told us, please help..

    Reply

    • Hi Bhong, this guide is for Windows user only, I would suggest to visit nearest Sun Broadband office. Personally, I like the Sun Broadband speed before October 2014 but from then on the connection has become terrible. It is because of their capping policy or download data limit. I would suggest that get a DSL connection for your Home and just use your pocket WiFi when you are away from home.

    • Hello Carmz, every method that you need, to boost your internet speed is already covered in this post. However, if you still experience low internet speed, kindly contact Sun Broadband’s nearest office in your area. It could be the download data capping issue.

  23. Hi Sir IC, I’m using ZTE Sun Pocket WiFi and my problem is every 11 pm my downloaded data connection is going down on 100kbps not exceeding 250kbps and I can’t watch videos. How can I fix this please help. I have read the other comments but it’s not working to me.

    Reply

    • Hello Che, are you aware that the sun broadband is implementing a download data capping? If your plan is 4G it will be throttled down to 2G once you reach your data limit. Perhaps that is the reason why every 11 pm your connection is deteriorating.

          • Hello Kat, Pocket WiFi works as a router. So, you are having almost the same configuration with DSL, except that your connection is wireless not wired. I would suggest to change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 202.67.222.222 or 202.67.220.220 via your Network settings. To get you started you may read Computer Network Beginner’s Guide.

        • Hi John paul, what I mean is that, after you execute the command “netsh interface ipv4 show subinterface”, you will see your network connection type. Take a look at the second to the last image of this post. As you can see the connection type is “Mobile Broadband Connection”. Now, let’s go to the last image, have you noticed that I marked the network connection type with a red outline? So, it means that “type your network connection here” should be replaced by your own network connection type.

Please also note that all telecom are implementing Download-Data capping which makes the bad reputation of Broadband stick into worst.

    Reply

    • Hi Kiyan, the problem relies on the Sun Broadband itself, after the SMART acquisition they started to implement the data capping per month. We no longer enjoy the unlimited internet that we usually have before the buy-out. For example, I have the unlimited internet for one month with the 3G speed but after I reach the data-download limit of 1.5G in a month, my internet connection will be downgraded to 2G connection. The very reason we experience a terribly slow internet connection. This tutorial will help you increase your signal, however because of the data-capping it may be hard to achieve the fast connection. But I found a workaround! a “Youtube trick” please refer to “anjo refugia comments” above.

    • Can you invite them and be interviewed on what they can say about their slow internet connection? I hope there will be a free WiFi all over the Philippines.

      Reply

      • How I wish Kiyan, but the bottom line why Sun Broadband implemented data download limit, it’s because they are targeting of a bigger PROFIT. Some source said that all Broadband company not just SUN has already reached the maximum subscriber and therefore cannot monetize further, and data-capping is the answer to that.

It’s not surprising, since torrent are a heavy bandwidth grabber, their server can save more by blocking it. Please read some of the comments, perhaps, somehow, it may help.

    • Anjo, I am glad somehow this guide helped you. Regarding your issue, let me inform you that later last year, the broadband companies (Smart, Globe and Sun) started to limit their download data on broadband stick/pocket WiFi and in my observation they also limit their bandwidth. The very reason that most broadband subscribers are experiencing a very low internet connection. To overcome this, what I did is, I open YouTube while surfing the net, choose those songs that are hours long. Somehow it improves my bandwidth.

    Reply

    • Eljaps, please see first your plan, if there is any internet connection capping or download data limit. For your information, in the later part of 4th quarter last year, all telecommunication companies here in the Philippines practiced the broadband connection capping, it sets download limit. For example, if you have a plan of unlimited broadband with 3G or 4G speed before, now they still give you the unlimited internet but with a download limit of 1.5 or 3 gigabyte a month. After you reach the said limit, your connection will be downgraded to 2G connection. However, somehow, the tutorial above will still able to help you reach your highest speed possible, read some of the comments.

    Reply

    • Hi Warren, please check your plan if it has a “Data Download limit”, which most new broadband internet plan do (unfair right?). The tutorials above aims to maximize your broadband signal and window receiver. So, if your broadband company sets limit on “download data” and “internet bandwidth“, there is nothing we can do about it.

      However, a “youtube-trick” sometimes can help. What does it mean? Play YouTube while surfing, YouTube is a huge bandwidth grabber, somehow it can help you get more bandwidth. The only problem is, if your plan has “data download limit”, so far, in my experience the broadband company are not yet accurate on limiting data download on postpaid broadband. Perhaps, that is the very reason they prefer to limit the bandwidth. I use this trick and it works even if I over-limit my download data.

    • Hello King, It is so sad that sun broadband did not give any notice to all its subscribers that they are now limiting their DOWNLOAD DATA after the Smart acquisition. Their revised plan for sun broadband is now “Free unlimited surf and 1.5 Gigabyte Download limit per month” (I am using 799 postpaid). If ever you hit the limitation they will now transfer your connection from 3g to 2g that’s why you encountered slow internet connection. Nevertheless, the tips above on how to boost sun broadband will still help you but change your “network type” instead of”WCDMA only” change it to “WCDMA preferred”.

  65. Hi po. I’m using Wi-tribe plan 599 po. Can I use the tweak with command prompt to boost my internet speed? Is it possible for wi-tribe?

    • Hi Jayjay, honestly, I am not familiar with wi-tribe. However, you raise my curiosity, I did a little search about it and I understand that it’s not nationwide yet though they sell online. As I see the product on their website, I am not sure if this internet booster tweak will help you, but giving it a try is the best way to know it. This Internet boosting tutorial will work on Sun, Globe and Smartbro stick modems as well as to its respective pocket wifi’s, provided that your plan has no download-data restrictions.

  67. dude, your step 3 is still not working for me though I did some exploration of this “netsh” thingy.

    When I type “netsh interface” it show some commands with brief descriptions and two of those
    are “ip” and “ipv6”, NO “ipv4”, but when I type “netsh interface ipv6 show interface” it says “ipv6 not installed” although there is a command that says “installs ipv6” I didn’t type it considering I don’t
    know exactly what this ipv6 is.

    and since considering that my connection is doing fine albeit quite slow, and inconsistent
    and also my modem is a alcatel X230m model

    • Hello John, please try to type “netsh interface ipv4 show subinterface”, be reminded also that you should run your command prompt as Administrator. I am not very familiar with your Alcatel modem but it should work the same way as other Stick-modem brands.

    • Hi Kristian, it seems that you are having a ZTE Modem. Please let me know if I am wrong. Just try to click the “Tools” then “Options” ( this is where you can see the NDIS and RAS modem options). However, since you don’t have that options just select the “Network” then change the “network type” into WCDMA only and click apply. This will give a better sun broadband speed. IF you are still having trouble, I would appreciate if you can send me a screen shots of your sun broadband interface and the stick itself.

    • Hi goodevening 😉 its really graet that you are interactive with your viewers 😉 i think my modem dont have that options about the NDIS and RAS since my modem is the latest stick of ZTE. Thanks for the blog though. my net is more stable now ;)) wish you could discover more new tricks. good job;)

  71. dude, I’am having problem with your step 2 and 3, in step two my sun broadband console is different,
    don’t know if it’s the new or old one, in step 3 command prompt says ” the following command not found: interface ipv4 show subinterface”

    could it be that i’am using windows xp cuz I think your command prompt is from windows 7 or is it because my sun broadband console is different?

    Reply

    • Hi John, sorry that step 2 didn’t work for you. Perhaps we have different Sun Broadband Wireless modem. However, step 3 should give you no problem, not even because you are using XP, please re-type it as “netsh interface ipv4 show subinterface” (without quotes).

  72. Hello Edward, try to check your autotuninglevel, if it is indeed changed to HIGH. If not, run your command prompt “as Administrator” and set it again. Thanks for visiting, I hope this will help you on your Sun Broadband speed issues.

    Reply

    • Hi there, I did step 3 “As Administrator,” but my autotuninglevel is set to “Highly Restricted” after I inputted the code. Upon further checking (I used “/?”), autotuninglevel has 5 options: disabled, highly restricted, restricted, normal, and experimental. So what should I do to achieve the “High” thingie you talked about here. Thanks a bunch!

      • Hello Jovic, it means you successfully set your autotuninglevel to high. So, what it is? It means your setting your window receiver to it’s maximum transfer rate. It’s like changing your small basket with the larger one to accommodate more.

        In most instances, this is helpful for broadband stick users because of limited bandwidth, so the bigger your window receiver the better.

    • Hi Edward, I’ve got Sun Broadband Wireless 23.009..perhaps you have the older version of Sun Broadband. However you can still try the steps above except the options “connection type”, it will still improve your Sun broadband speed.
