Robinsons GenSan, FREE WiFi Hotspot
Yesterday, Bariles received a frantic text message from Robinsons Place GenSan‘s Marie Espina yesterday which had him whooping out in delight!
The text message announced that the whole of Robinsons Place GenSan has been equipped with wi-fi connections and is now a FREE WIFI HOTSPOT!
Bariles and his blogger friends immediately drove to Robinsons after office and upon reaching the mall, settled at one of the tables of Fonti, an island snacks counter near Jollibee. After ordering tea for himself and coffee for the rest, he opened his laptop computer and voila, connected to he Internet in no time at all.
No password was required upon logging in and so the group checked on the speed of Robinsons GenSan’s Internet Service Provider, BAYANTEL.
Too bad, the bloggers noticed that surfing the internet inside that part Robinsons left much to be desired. The connection was so slow that it took a while for one to log on to his favorite website, Facebook. Luckily, Ms. Marie who was passing by explained that the routers have just been installed that day and so far, the FASTFOODS AREA is the one with the strongest WIFI signal. The rest are still being tested by the BAYANTEL people.
With that, Bariles is giving Robinsons GenSan enough time to fix some bugs on their routers or ISP connections, hoping that being the first and only mall in the region to offer ABSOLUTELY FREE WiFi Internet Access will endear them more to the shoppers of Soccsksargen.
Still, he and his group are thanking the management of Robinsons GenSan for making this FREE WIFI SERVICE via BAYANTEL a reality! You rock guys!!!
Special thanks to Sir Danny Camat who first hinted on this development last year. Mabuhay kayo Sir!
Now, the next question is: When is KCC and Gaisano following suit? Abangan ang susunod na kabanata!

This is great news indeed. I also recently noticed SM in Davao had free wifi. This must be a trend for shopping malls to entice more shoppers to come to their malls. Ill try out this free wifi at Robinson’s soon. Thanks for the heads up.

This is something every gensan citizen will like, particularly bloggers. It’s a great strategy for the Robinsons management as Free Wifi Hotspots attract more shoppers to visit the mall…

it’s good to have a wifi at robinson’s but in some areas mahina pa rin ang signal eh. in case sa KCC at Gaisano, it’s a miracle if they followed suit.

there’s also a need to secure their free open wifi, provide some security mechanisms in logging in.
