PLDT myDSL

[soulthird]

thanks jembo! hafta find time pa kse to go to their business office... thanks for the info na din!

[weye]

agapito, i wasn't at home when the pldt sevice man came so di ko nakita personally but that's what they told me when i got home. question po on the led lights, the topmost is the one that indicates if may signal, di ba? if it's green then u can go ahead and connect. if it's orange, walang network from pldt? or walang signal pc ko na makuha from pldt? sorry but that's what's confusing me.

[GilmoreGal]

sa alam ko dapat 4 lights ang magilaw expecially the last green/yellow light under DSL

Depends on what modem you are using. Normally, you should get 3 green lights on. (1) power light (2) DSL light (3) ETH (ethernet) and this should be blinking from time to time indicating data transfer. The modem that PLDT gave me is a Nokia.

[Tmac_1]

what's the best ethernet card to use for pldt my dsl?? how much?? will they provide it or ako bibili??? thanks...

yes, i would also recommend d-link. mas mahal lang sya ng 100-150 pesos sa ibang brand but you can be sure of its quality. i just bought one yesterday. my problem is...

still no reply from PLDT! ive called 2 times to followup my application but still no call. i applied last sunday and submitted my requirements the day after. normal lang ba yun? bat ang tagal? :grrr:

kakainggit! bat wala pa yung sa akin!!

[weye]

Our modem is Dr Speedtouch. How great is the effect of the modem on the dsl connection? Is it possible to ask pldt to change our modem to Nokia as well? Would that "help" our connection?

Depends on what modem you are using. Normally, you should get 3 green lights on. (1) power light (2) DSL light (3) ETH (ethernet) and this should be blinking from time to time indicating data transfer. The modem that PLDT gave me is a Nokia.

[pepperprone]

weye, it won't be that easy to request from PLDT that they give you a nokia modem. the pldt guy who replaced my modem (a blue ZTE made in China to a black Speedstream) said depende kung anong supply ang dumarating sa kanila. Minsan, Nokia, minsan ZTE, minsan ibang brand. It depends kung anong merong stock sila na available.

[jembo]

connected na rin ako last thursday... mabilis naman.
nagkaproblema nga lang last weekend.. di makaconnect nung saturday evening

[michelles]

am using my dsl small biz package (** sa computer shop ko), mennn sakit sila ng ulo ko 2 buwan na! it all started when my connection drops to 9kbs, i called 172375 and ask me to test it ng single PC after a while nag ok naman. the day after na di-disconnect ako from 6-10pm (take note ha -- everyday!) for two long months ganyan ang problema ko halos everyday may ticket report number ako sa kanila kasi everyday nag rereklamo ako. they cant provide ah person who can check our problem kasi bawal daw overtime sa kanila :grrr: , 2 weeks ago nagpunta na ako sa pldt office kasi ang hirap sobra tumawag sa 172375 and even tumawag ako ayaw nila magbigay ng mga direct numbers ng pwedeng kausapin sobrang affected yung profit ng shop ko for two months, nawalan ako ng regular customers, etc pero deadma ang pldt dsl sa problem ko!

2 weeks ago they decided to move my line to e new port (sa main office), it did well nung unang araw ng paglipat ng port, pero the day after bumalik nanaman ang problema ko geesshhh. naka 4 na palit na akong modem ganito pa rin ang problema ko

[Agapito]

This is the sad part when a commodity is controlled by a few suppliers, all you can do is just grin and bear it.

I'm using PLDT MyDSL but I rarely get disconnected and my connection speed is greater than 300 kbps most of the time. Other people have frequent disconnection problems and speed issues to no end.

The same complaints I heard from Globe too.

Perhaps what this is telling us is that broadband services still appear to be a hit-or-miss service. You may get a 50-50 chance to either you get a jackpot connection, or a connection from hell.

Maybe it's time to rethink your business based on these assumptions before your money bleeds to death. Meaning, you might want to consider doing another kind of business instead of a computer rental shop.

better check out this thread.. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?t=210173 try switching providers if you're over the lock in period.. i would have gotten my dsl service from these guys but my area is not covered.. poor me..

[SoLvent Boy]

I am loosing a lot of money coz of their crappy DSL service.

Super-crappy DSL connection. Hit and miss sila...since nag-open yung shop ko which was almost 3 months ago, araw-araw na lang may disconnection and minsan 1 whole f*cking week! I am loosing a lot of money and customers coz of their crappy services. Everyday din yung reklamo ko sa kanila and turuan sila ng turuan. May nagpupunta naman na mga tao nila pero magiging maayos lang sya for a while then after a few hours e babalik na naman sa pagiging bulok!!! Sabi ko eh magiwan sila ng isang tao nila for one whole day para malaman talaga yung sitwasyon, hindi naman nila magawa which is kaduda-duda na alam talaga nilang k*pal na yung service nila eh ayaw pang magpahalata.

I filed a formal complaint na sa main office nila pero wala pa din akong reply til now! Sa billing naman, they are willing to compensate pero nung nalaman ko kung magkano lang ang ibabawas nila sa bill ko...******* yan! 275 bucks lang compare to thousands na nawala sakin and WORST!!! I can't get out of their friggin' 2 years contract!!!!

Urgh!

[michelles]

^^ gagalangin, tondo ako, pero ang dsl connection ko naka line yata sa malabon

[nmerchant]

available pa po ba ito now?

[nickng]

What area are you in? I've never had that kind of problems with my DSL.

[LucKyStriKe]

sorry to hear that bro. thanks for giving us the warning. we're using pldt vibe at home and its a crap. what more kung mas mahal na dsl svc from pldt. 3 of my friends are also experiencing the same problem sa pldt dsl. dati nga pinutulan kami ng phone dahil sa P58.00 na balance! halatang mukhang pera ampots!

[delmsan]

in addition, if their server is down, they dont even inform their clients.
nag-aantay nalang sila na ang client pa mismo magreklamo sa kanila kung bakit walang connection. and thats the only time that they will tell you. worst thing is, if you are going to ask them when it'll be resumed, they always said "we do not know"

[Agapito]

dati nga pinutulan kami ng phone dahil sa P58.00 na balance! halatang mukhang pera ampots!


Computerized na kasi ang nag-de-decide niyang disconnection notice. Parang ganito:

IF $unpaid_balance > 0.00 && $present_date > $due_date THEN DISCONNECT_SERVICE;

So pag na-satisfy yung computer code statement na yan, automatic print na kagad ng disconnection instruction sa technician yung computer, todas ka na. So kahit singkwenta sentimos lang ang kulang mo, hindi ka sasantuhin ng computer pre.

Computers are really cold and ruthless. :glee:

Try to understand how the system works para iwas hassle ka next time. *okay*

[Agapito]

in addition, if their server is down, they dont even inform their clients.
nag-aantay nalang sila na ang client pa mismo magreklamo sa kanila kung bakit walang connection. and thats the only time that they will tell you.

Pards, mahirap din kasi kung tatawagan ng PLDT isa-isa lahat ng subscriber ng MyDSL nila para sabihin na down yung server. Isipin mo, there could be hundreds and thousands of subscribers out there. Ganyan din naman kahit Meralco. Kapag nag-brownout sa lugar mo, Meralco will not call you para sabihin na may bumagsak na poste ng Meralco sa highway dahil nabangga ng truck. Usually, tiis ka na lang hanggang magka-ilaw ulit. *okay*

[delmsan]

^ but they must have a way to inform their thousand clients. what is the use of mailing list anyway? i believe that they have our email address in their client details.
automated email will do.

[Agapito]

^ but they must have a way to inform their thousand clients. what is the use of mailing list anyway? i believe that they have our email address in their client details.

How can you read your email if your internet is down? *okay*

[delmsan]

by sending notice a day before or an hour or 2 before they will troubleshoot.

[Agapito]

by sending notice a day before or an hour or 2 before they will troubleshoot.

Oh, you mean "scheduled" downtimes. Yup, I think it's a good suggestion to tell PLDT to have an online schedule of server downtimes (although I think internet services usually don't have regular scheduled downtimes that affect customers because servers have a "replication" capability that automatically transfers server functions to a spare machine when a "regular" maintenance is on schedule).

For "unscheduled" downtimes, that would be hard to predict. Atleast they should have a "hotline" number where clients can call for inquiry.

[munchy_munch]

by sending notice a day before or an hour or 2 before they will troubleshoot.

Well, how could they send you notice if biglaan din ang down ng system or equipment... Actually, di rin naman nila yan fault kung mag down ang service
kasi marami rin mga factors katulad ng malakas na ulan o kaya masyado palang malayo sa CO yung location mo or may ninakaw na cable... Mako-kontrol pa kaya yan ng PLDT? ...

[GilmoreGal]

are there times that you cannot surf with PLDT DSL?

[michelles]

^^ a lot of times :angry:

[michelles]

i feel for you Solvent Boy. when i started last year 3x pinalitan modem ko tapos nilipat nila ng port naging smooth naman. just some 2 months ago actually mag 3 months na bumalik ang problema ko imagine everyday for 2.5 months ng 6-10pm wala akong dsl connection. everyday nag re-report kami sa kanila pero ganun din walang kamatayan na turuan ginagawa nila samin. may 14k debt ako ngayon sa pldt bill ko ginagawa ko lang nagbabayad ako ng certain amount para hindi ma cut dsl ko, buti sayo payag sila mag compensate kahit 200 pesos eh sakin ayaw nila! dati nag profit ako ng 1k+ a day pero ngayon halos 200-400 na lang kita ko swerte pa pag 500 kinita ko badtrip talaga pldt

kaya pag may tumatawag dito na collector, pinapagalitan ko pa! ang kapal kasi ng mukha nila maningil eh wala nga ako napapala sa kanila!


@munchy_munch

i have to agree na malaking factor ang malakas na ulan lalo na pag kumumulog at kumidlat automatic yun disconnected agad dsl ko, pero after nun sabi mismo ng technical service nila dapat ok and stable ulit ang connection nila

shame on you pldt!

[SILENTMAX]

anu router mo?

if its anything other than linksys you will have problems

[mark_17]

one year or two years yung contract? ang gulo kase... sabi sa 171, 1 year daw... sa pldt business center, 2 years naman... ano ba talaga?! lugi kse pag 2 years.

[delmsan]

Well, how could they send you notice if biglaan din ang down ng system or equipment... Actually, di rin naman nila yan fault kung mag down ang service
kasi marami rin mga factors katulad ng malakas na ulan o kaya masyado palang malayo sa CO yung location mo or may ninakaw na cable... Mako-kontrol pa kaya yan ng PLDT? ...

the factors that you have mentioned, i think pldt can look for an alternative/solution if that things may happen.

[delmsan]

Oh, you mean "scheduled" downtimes. Yup, I think it's a good suggestion to tell PLDT to have an online schedule of server downtimes (although I think internet services usually don't have regular scheduled downtimes that affect customers because servers have a "replication" capability that automatically transfers server functions to a spare machine when a "regular" maintenance is on schedule).


well even on their "scheduled" downtimes, they dont even inform their clients. like what happened to me before, they were down almost three days without informing me. but when i tried to call them, they mentioned that they are having a server upgrade.

[Kukuru]

Mukhang agree din ako na unstable ang computer rental business ngayon. Given na marami ng competition tapos pangit pa ang service ng mga DSL companies. Ang mahirap din sa business na yan, konti lang ang mapag-pipilian mong supplier ng DSL. Kung hindi PLDT, Globe lang. Or Bayantel. Pare-pareho lang ang sakit nila, parating nadi-disconnect din.

[weightlosscoach]

malala ata talga ang sakit ng pldt kasi kahit saang boards and forums ito ang reklamo ngayon

[XeonBlaze]

Owning a business, you should already know the risks.

However, PLDT has no excuse for downtimes if it last quite long. Ok lang sana kung saglit - tolerable pa. I think they still have to work on some areas lalo na dun sa madalas magkaroon ng disconnections. Well, I'm lucky enough not to be in areas prone to intermittent downtimes. I'd say that customer experience is always subjective.

[byby]

wawa naman kay dyan.. :( i heard a lot of bad things regarding dsl services dyan sa atin..

dito sa office i just tested using http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/, for the 3 available speed test you can avail, it was 17.7 megabits/sec ; 20.4 mbps/sec ; 22 mbps/sec respectively. were on T3 connection.

i'll try naman later sa bahay, naka cable dun eh.

[michelles]

just called pldst task force here in tondo, sabi nya may problema daw ang binondo-tondo area kasi nagpalit daw ng card (am not sure) ang data net nila. but still our problem remains the same ... hindi slow browsing ang problema ko! disconnected ako everyday from 6-10pm for 3 long months :grrr:

Make an appointment with the Department of Trade & Industry (DTI) to arrange a REFUND from PLDT. Because PLDT binds you to a contract when you paid your DSL service, PLDT is obliged to provide you an acceptable quality of goods and services in return. Read any disclaimers (they are usually written in very small fonts) on the PLDT website before you ask for a refund.

[GilmoreGal]

Talagang 2 years. May offer pa ba nito?

michelles its been 3 weeks since we got dsl, and so far, i can always use the net....

[Agapito]

Yep, PLDT DSL is a 50-50 chance service. It's either you get a jackpot connection, or a connection from hell.

I had my PLDT DSL for one month now, so far no disconnection issues and the speed is awesome. I downloaded a 1.4 GIG movie (it's a porn movie so sue me! :D ) in just 24 hours.

Probably if i was getting the same connection from hell experience as you guys, I would probably be
like this too ----> :grrr: then eventually this ----> :mecry:

When PLDT DSL couldn't service us for a few days they gave us a rebate. Try calling their hotline.

[sixmiles]

Dude alam mo, mag-sky DSL ka nalang. never pa ko nakaexperience ng outage at palagi stable ang ping n latency since nagsubscribe kami dito. besides, pag meron ka outage n di nila nagawa within 24 hrs, they'll give u 500 bucks for every PC :D di ako taga sky a, happy customer lang :D

anong hotline? 172375? bute ka pa binigyan ka ng rebate, magkano po binigay?

@Agapito

just called DTI they refer me to call NTC Reklamo center 9267722, tapos they suggest na mag file ako ng formal compalin sa kanila by submitting a letter address to their bosses, tapos pa receive ko din daw sa pldt office na nag humahawak ng account ko

afterwhich i called pldt billing service and ask if pede nga ako manghingi ng rebate, the girl ive talked to is nice naman she called technical support and ask a copy of my ticket report # tapos tawag daw ulit ako tommorow para malaman ko yung possible adjustments na pwede ko makuha kasi dun daw nila i be-based yun

guys take note:

kung mag re-reklamo po kayo sa pldt dsl connection nyo, dont forget to call 172375 para magkaron kayo ng ticket report number na ginagawang basis ng billing para bigyan kayo ng adjustment

how i wish matapos na problema ko sa kanila :(

[GilmoreGal]

Ganyan ang ginawa ko dati nung gumagamit pako ng ISP Bonanza, parating busy yung dial-up numbers nila. So i filed a complaint sa DTI/NTC and they tried to work that out with ISP. Ayun, after sometime nakaka-connect nako dahil dinagdagan yung mga dial-up numbers nila.

I think the important thing here is mag-file kayo ng claim sa DTI parati para ma-pressure yang PLDT to improve their service. Isa pa, if DTI/NTC sees that PLDT could not offer quality service, they can prevent PLDT from advertising any further or prevent them from offering promotions that they could not sustain.

Wag kayong mag-mukmuk sa isang sulok. Go out and complain.! People Power against poor DSL service! *okay*

GilmoreGal : MyBiz ba yung DSL mo, or pang-bahay lang?

[SoLvent Boy]

And ano nangyari sa ginawa kong thread about PLDT's DSL service???

[neth_row]

I experienced problems with my PLDT DSL connection as well when we had it hooked up last October. Everything was going fine and dandy until December, when we first started getting dropped connections. It got worse every month, with PLDT having to do housecalls every other week to replace boxes, modems, lines, etc. It culminated last March, when we had everything re-wired and replaced, including the thingies hanging in the posts.

It's been four months, and there haven't been any connection anymore. Problem is, after all the hassle that we went through, not a single centavo has been compensated by PLDT. Yung reason na binibigay nila, kapag tumatawag kami, dun lang nagce-create ng ticket para sa issue. Pinupuntahan naman daw ng lineman at nako-close yung ticket (hence, laging one-day lang yung ticket kaya walang credit).

[michelles]

@Solvent Boy

about your thread ... hehe ndi ko rin mahanap, ewan kung na delete o natabunan

@nethrow

same here, nag follow up ako kanina sa billing kung magkano ang adjustment na makukuha ko 2.4k lang daw for 19days kasi yun lang daw na trace nila! dyus ko 3months problema ko sa kanila, tapos 3 months every night tumatawag ako sa 172375 tapos sasabhin nila sakin 19 days lang ang pwede nila i-count! eh yung 19 days na yun, yun lang yung panahaon na pinuntahan ako dito ng repairman nila para baguhin ang modem ko months before that hindi nila inaaksyunan reklamo ko! ibig sabihin nun hindi nila ako ginagawan ng ticket #? damn pldt! 2.4k is pretty good pero wala yun sa kalingkingan ng nawala saking sales dahil 3 buwan na silang sakit ng ulo ko! plus yung mga nawala pang loyal customer ko geesh. if and only i have the money i'L sue them! :angry:

Normal lang sa PLDT ang bad service, dahil ngayon monopoly mentality parin ang mga tao doon. Lalo na si MVP.

[dinramos]

whatever problems u have wd PLDT, report it to 171, 173 or just go directly to any PLDT business offices....sori for inconvenience....:-)

[SoLvent Boy]

Expect this thread to be closed in a few days...parang ginawa ng mga mods sa thread ko before.

dinramos: We did everything that you could think of...every godamn possible way, it even went to as far as reaching out to the media. Pero sobrang powerful talaga ng PLDt eh, and worst my internet shop only relies on their DSL service since 98% of our customers are always online 9chat, online games, research), wala pa kseng line ang SKY, Globe and Destiny DSL dito sa Tondo eh.

[iRebirth]

I absolutely agree.

[Agapito]

Meron ng thread na kagaya nito. Not really technical related. Nagbubuhos lang ng sama ng loob about PLDT DSL.

Again, posting your anger here can ease your pain, but it will not help you. Only DTI/NTC can help you on that so suggest you file a complaint there. The more complainants, the more chances that it will be acted upon.

[warp3d]

rychu and GilmoreGal i got my DSL installed finally. last week nagtext na ng username and password pero this morning lang pumunta yung technician. buti nalang, kasi magco-complain na dapat ako bakit ang tagal. so far parang ang bagal pa rin but it;s only been a few hours. sana mag improve pa yung speed.

That's what consumers can do when a service is monopolized. There is no better competition out there. The best you can do is actively seek for a rebate or flood all the complaints to DTI/NTC. Only the government can impose sanctions or compensation for the benefit of consumers.

[GilmoreGal]

UtopianDream congrats, ang bagal naman talga ng service ng PLDT, but i'm glad meron ka na rin :)

As for how to make the speed increased, i have no idea. D ko nga rin alam pano malaman *** speed ng DSL ko...

[yaniyahniyanee]

GilmoreGal, you can follow UtopianDream's lead and use the download and upload speed tests in www.testmy.net.

UtopianDream, i'm not sure if this has been posted, but the testmy.net forum (http://testmy.net/forum/b-3) might help you out. :D

i have issues with them too (the downgrade penalty fee, lousy support, measly rebates, etc.) but beggars can't be choosers. sigh.

[sixmiles]

^^ there is. SKYdsl is a LOT better than PLDT's bulok DSL. ive never experienced an outage with SKY since we got it (mga 6mos na). latency is stable when playing games (warcraft3). also, according to 2wire.com's speedtest, 834.50Kbps daw DL speed ko as of that time :D

[digital_potato]

i have never been able to get through their 172375 hotline. always on hold. how many csr's does pldt have anyway?

stupid pldt. if i only had other choices of dsl service, i will never subscribe to this piece of crap.

[spongeboob]

guys just wna ask something.. my pldt bill just came.. and i was billed 1200 plus.. i thought it was supposed to be 999? ganito ** b s nyo?

or the extra 200plus is for the installation fee or something?? since this is my first month

[KingTriton]

Suggestion ko gawin niyo, Yung nag kabit ng DSL niyo na Technician/Line Man, kontakin niyo, ganun ginawa ko, hiningi ko ang Cell Number niya, kaya kung may sira DSL ko text ko lang siya at ora mismo pumupunta basta break time niya hehehe. Yun nga lang may padulas minsan ako inaabot para naman di mawalan ng gana bumalik. Kung dun ka talaga tatawag sa Number ng DSL ay mamumumuti mata mo sa kaka hintay talaga ng may sasagot dun. hehehe

Kung sira ang connection niyo, check niyo mabuti ang wires niyo. Yung sa bahay kasi namin underground cables, eh ginawa namin, direkta sa line kinabit yung modem, umandar, yun daw baka nabasa na cables, nung minsan naman, may ngatngat ng daga yung cable ko, kaya ayun, putol putol yung DSL.

So far sa akin, nagka problema lang ako sa Modem at sa Cables ko, yung directa sa service ng PLDT DSL mismo wala pa.

[SHEsurgeon]

I think thats for the installation fee.

[plr628]

i have this plan and i was told that there would be no installation fee. when my bill came it was around P1400+. that's because the billing period was more than a month so they billed the excess days...

[GilmoreGal]

i think its because you still have to pay for the residential fee of around 750 + 999

[pepperprone]

There's a residential line rental of P700+ so tack that to the cost of your DSL plan plus whatever NDD (landline to cellphones, landline to provinces) and IDD calls you've made, then that's your phone bill.

[paCUTEako]

may tanong lang ako, naeexperience nyo ba ito.... sa umaga okay lahat ng sites pero pag dating sa gabi... maraming sites na ang ayaw pasukan. Paano ba inaayos? tnx in advance

[danieljohns]

guys, is it advisable to apply to that 999 plan of pldt my dsl? is it worth it? or i should look for another broadband? ur reply would make a big help. thanks guys!

Kung nasa PLDT DSL ka, sa gabi naglalabasan na ang mga gamers, kaya ang bandwidth mo siguradong mababa. This is the reason why you have difficulty connecting to most sites.

I don't know what your OS is but you can test by doing what we call a ping test.

sa prompt > ping google.com

after five to 10 iterations, do a control C to terminate the program, take note of the ping times in milliseconds, right most figure, also take a look at the summary and take note of the % packet loss.

Do this in the am and in the pm. I am sure you will find the following results.

Sa A.M. ang ping time mas maliit ang figure (means connection is faster) and halos walang % packet loss.

Sa gabi, ang ping time mo will be 2 to 5 times (or higher) than what you got in the morning, ibig sabihin mabagal na. But, the main problem is iyong % packet loss, any figure greater than 3%, mabagal na ang system.

No solution, just grin and bear it, ganyan pag nag-share lang tayo ng international bandwidth sa maraming mga subscribers. Parang tubig, mababa ang pressure, kapag lahat na-liligo sa umaga.

[eprot]

my plan is up to 256kbps dapat.

any way i can fix this?!

No way maka kuha ka ng 256kbps 24/7. Hindi possible iyon, if you get between 85% to 95% of the speed you purchased, OK na iyon.

Sa PLDT DSL the 256kbps speed is from your computer to PLDT domestic gateway. Hindi kasama sa speed na 256K, iyong from PLDT domestic gateway to the Internet, marami masyadong variables for them to guarantee that.

In the US, the figures are vastly different, since they don't have any international gateway to talk about (since everybody connects to them, long story). So sa USA pag 256K, halos > 200 kbps ang palagi nakukuha mo.

Same story ito sa Japan, Taiwan at Korea, since sila ang content na kinukuha domestic lang, halos hindi nagagalaw ang international link, mabilis talaga ang connection.

Sa pinas, halos lahat international.

Tama ka Sir, we cannot be choosers.

I wish we could offer something better, pero wala.

Thank God, maraming mga call center dito sa Pinas, they are the primary reason why it is now possible to offer DSL at more or less affordable prices.

[darkstar91778]

Hi guys i have plan 999 na rin and wala **** ako na pansin na problem pero i was shocked don sa isang msg na nabasa ko ngayon lang the one who apply for plan 999 din then nong nakuha nya yung 1st bill nya naging 1200 lam ko nga sabi nila no installation fee how come na ganon well hindi pa kasi dumadating yung bill ko pero hope fully wag **** sana ganon ok

[Tmac_1]

ang tagal ng sa akin. i applied for for plan 999 last July 11 pa. i followed up my application for like, 5 times already! wala pa din! think i should follow it up again? the csr told me that my application's approved but their 'task force' encountered some problems. 2 CSRs also told me that dsl would be installed last week and last last week. eh ano na ngayon? what do you think i should do? is their service really like this?

[Agapito]

sure.. paying 999 for this is fair.. 999 bucks for 31KBps? mabilis na din..



Paying P999 for 31 kbps ???? That's highway robbery.

[GilmoreGal]

Tmac_1 if i were you, i'd apply directly to their office. Usually pag fone application, aabutin ka ng siam siam :rolleyes:

[YoniPYokA]

smallbizlite ang kinuha namin pero ang bagal lalo pag hapon. Sa bandwidth meter ng globequest.com.ph below 100kbps.

my application's already approved. yung hinihintay nalang eh yung 'task force' nila kuno na magkakabit ng connection.. right now im having mixed feelings. im not sure if im gonna be happy surfing at a 'dsl' speed of 31kbps... :rolleyes:

[rychu]

Paying P999 for 31 kbps ???? That's highway robbery.

He posted KBps, not kbps. 31KBps is actually good because...

256kbps / 8bits = 32KB/s.

hmm, i wonder why its taking so long. Ako around 1 week before a PLDT service person came to our place... nagkadelay daw kasi they're not sure with regards to plan 999. Kasi hindi pa daw officially released un. And i'm not a student (diba dapat student lang pwede mag apply nun ngayon?)

My Gosh! My PLDT dsl connection is really bad! Imagine I get disconnected almost every 5-10 mins. Bad service.

[Tmac_1]

Tmac_1 based sa newspaper, pang student lang :shrug:

yes, i saw it at yesterday's paper. nung nakita ko nagalit ako! how could they come up with an advertisement if they cant even provide good service? esp in my case na 1 month nang naghihintay para sa installation! :grrr: anyway, upon seeing the ad i callled their customer service to followup (again) my application. the csr was courteous enough and i was told that it would be installed within this week (again again again!!!) :mecry:

[pepperprone]

Is anyone here on the 1995 plan? How is the speed, especially for downloading and uploading? Any downtimes?

I am thinking of downgrading to the 1995 plan (from the MyPersonal @ 2,500/month). Recently, I heard from PLDT DSL that they were willing to waive the downgrade penalty fee of P5,000 should I choose to downgrade.

my only concerns are that the speed of course, will be much slower than what I am used to. Also, I have VOIP installed here (because of work) and I'm wondering if the quality may be compromised.

Any opinions would be welcomed.

[elvenjediknight]

I'm selling a VOIP phone that works with dial-up connections (shameless plug)

And whether i connected using a dial-up or a DSL connection, there's absolutely no difference in sound/voice quality

Hello all. I applied for PLDT myDSL last Saturday morning and got connected yesterday (Tuesday).. bilis lang pala. I was told it would take ten working days. Imagine my glee when after three days, they were installing it na.

So far, happy naman with the service. But yes, how do you maximize your connection speed? :girl:

[SHEsurgeon]

So far, I still get disconnected bigtime. Tried emailing their customer service and guess what? Its down for the longest time. I hate it when you r working on the computer and your dsl get cut every 10 mins.

[akosikat]

Madalas ba talaga ma-disconnect ang PLDT dsl? I want to avail kasi sana yung School Plan nila kaya lang I'm having second thoughts kasi may iba nga nagsasabi na medyo palpak to...

[elvenjediknight]

i've a problem opening sites that end in .tk

is it just me or does it happen with everyone else?

[Faith_101]

If you are living in Quezon City, Malabon, Manila or Valenzuela area, then you could try SkyDSL. They have a service guarantee with a rebate. If service downtime is beyond 24 hours then you get a P500 rebate for every day of delay in service restoration. The maximum amount of rebate is equal to your monthly DSL subscription.

[Jeck]

Has anybody encountered these problems with their PLDT DSL? Its truly a headache recently! Each ping to their internet gateway would take around 2000 ms - 4000 ms to reply and the packet losses is 20%! The sluggishness peak at 11 am to 8 pm then gradually subsides to nil afterwards and this repeats everyday. I'm new to their DSL. I don't know what is wrong with their system and don't know how fast they would come here to check the lines or if ever they can fix it at all? If anybody has the experience please share your knowledge. Need your encouragement. Thanks!

all you have to do is maximize your TCP receive window size.. make sure you back up your registry settings though.. i found this site, worked wonders for me..(no more high latency and no dropped packets) check it out.. http://cable-dsl.home.att.net/ good luck!

[RaP]

nice site!

[Jeck]

thanks and great site for understanding packets! :lol: , I'll try it at noon because its during this time I got the highest latency and packet losses.

[MsEerie]

I have Destiny Cable at the moment but I've been having problems with it. It's often down. Do you experience this prob with PLDT DSL?

[MsEerie]

eeek kakatawag lang ng PLDT offering their DSL. Tempting kasi parang ang bilis ng connection. Gamit ko ngayon is Destiny and daming beses na down sya kaya I'm planning to switch to a better broadband service

[Agapito]

Gamit ko ngayon is Destiny and daming beses na down sya kaya I'm planning to switch to a better broadband service

So I think that concludes it: Kahit PLDT, Globe, Smart, Destiny, etc. maraming reklamo talaga about their broadband service. It means hindi pa talaga stable ang broadband industry dito sa Pilipinas.

You just have to go for the one you think is a much lesser evil.

Its already maximized at 262 K before using DSL Speed. According to the link above I'm worry that it could be signal interferences because some returned packets have higher latency when pinged than during early morning although its more tolerable now than earlier this week. Hope it doesn't aggravate to untolerable again tommorow.

Yes, the plan is still available. Kaso for students lang. I called 171 yesterday at sabi nung operator, kelangan ng ID ng student ng any of the participating schools pag nag-apply ka personally.

[skuidward]

Yup, kahit anong brand pwede.
Kahit yung mga tig-300 lang na lan card ok lang ba? Dami kasing pwedeng pagpilian. Syempre ok na kung mura tapos ok din ang performance. :D

[killua21]

i have myDSL plan 1500... di nga ko maka paniwala s mga comment nung iba regarding their connections pero i agree s extremely poor costumer service ng myDSL.... pero regarding my connection ala nako ibang masasabi, my connection is only 128kbps about 16KBps tama *** pero there are times that i really have a very fast connection, i mean extremely fast! fastest theoretical limit ng DSL about 9mbps! i am a very big fan ng linux and i download some of the ISO images of the distro, one time i downloaded Fedora Core 4 and Ubuntu linux it has 6 ISO images totalling 3+Gigabytes (GB), i downloaded them all under an hour, while playing online games! imagine that when you are in a normal connection with a data throughput of 85-90% of your connection, for example in 256kbps *** data throughput mo is around 200kbps
pero not all the time i get this connection mga 4-5 times a year *** lasting 3 days to 2 weeks each time! ako na yata pinaka maswerte ng myDSL subscriber in terms of connection speed.... mura murahin nio nako kung di kayo makapaniwala pero nangyari to sakin

[dumfuk]

what are the participating schools kaya?

[spongeboob]

^^ i dont think pde kahit anung lan cards.. *** dati kasi sakin Cnet eh and it costs around 300 i think.. tpos hnd sya nagwork sakin nung kinabit *** dsl, sbi nung pldt guy na hnd daw pde *** and bumili daw ako ng D-link for sure.. kaya un i bought D-link whichc costs 500bucks and gumagana na sya..

nway ask ko sana dun sa mga pldt 999 subscribers na dumating na *** bill kung how much sinigil sa inyo??

[warp3d]

i think 262k is too big a number.. try scaling it down to 63k see if it improves.. if it doesn't, try downloading tcpoptimizer(freeware) i used it and i'm quite satisfied with it...

[elvenjediknight]

just wondering, can you guys access sites that end with .tk? i can't seem to access any of these sites :D sayang naman yung DSL ko.

can you guys try this one? http://www.beerkada.tk

i dunno kung nag shut down na talaga yung .tk, coz i haven't been able to access any of the sites since i got DSL

[shotput]

cant access any .tk website as well.... hhmmm!

[Jeck]

i think 262k is too big a number.. try scaling it down to 63k see if it improves.. if it doesn't, try downloading tcpoptimizer(freeware) i used it and i'm quite satisfied with it...

I'm not sure if the 262K was properly set by DSL Speed because TCPOptimizer doesn't indicate the current values in the TCP Receive Window. So used regedit.exe to examine and the value indicated in TCPWindowSize is 262592 reg_sz (string value). After resetting it with TCPOptimizer and its optimal settings for 512 Kbps here are the improved results! :)

TCP_Optimizer_PLDT_DSL_Before_After.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/macaraig/TCP_OptimizerPLDT_DSL_Before_After.jpg)

However the high latencies and packet losses I got last week when pinging PLDT servers could be unrelated. ...yet to see if it will repeat again this afternoon.

[skuidward]

what are the participating schools kaya?
UST, ADMU, DLSU and UP for sure kasali. For other schools, inquire na lang muna sa 171 para sure.

As for the application pala, sabi sa school daw mismo makukuha yung application form for the 999 plan. Wala silang form sa mga pldt business centers(that's what they told my mom when she went to apply). Just go and ask your school admin. Alam na daw nila yun. Kukuha nga ako bukas e. Sana hindi mahirap kumuha ng form.

spongeboob: Thanks for the tip. Ayoko kasi mapagastos masyado. :D

[DevilHands]

beerkada.tk works for me

[elvenjediknight]

amazingly enough, none of the .tk sites work for me if i type the URL whole.

e.g. http://www.beerkada.tk www.beerkada.tk

but then if i type just beerkada.tk it works... weird... :confused3:

i tried it with the other sites and they work too if i type it like that...

i'm using mozilla firefox btw

What area your DSL is situated and whats your DSL plan? Been two months and Plan 1995 is ok so far. Unlike SkyDSL didn't notice any peak hours. Speed is consistent 24/7 throughout. Hope it will stay this way forever.

They operate at different channels so you can still use your fax and dial-up.

naka-plan 999 ka di ba? Kelan ka nag-apply? I read from your previous post na nakapag-apply ka ng 999 kahit di ka estudyante. Im getting tired of waiting kasi for the application form sa school. Wala pa ring update kung may form nga sila or wala. To think na kasali ang school ko sa plan 999 na yun. :grrr:

[spongeboob]

guys, my bill for the second month just came and it was 909pesos.. *** ganito *** bill? naguguluhan na ko eh.. nway am happy na at least masmababa sya sa 999..

[dumfuk]

ano yung ibang plans? yung lower than the 1995? kasi di nako student eh!

[skuidward]

spongeboob: baka yung 90 pesos eh tax...

dumfunk: i think they still have the plan 1500. Tanong ka sa 171.

[yorimoto]

guys, naga-alangan akong magpakabit dahil sa mga comments na nababasa ko. may mga nagsasabi na hindi maganda. yong iba naman ayos naman ang sa kanila. ano ba talaga ang problema?

[Tmac_1]

What area your DSL is situated and whats your DSL plan? Been two months and Plan 1995 is ok so far. Unlike SkyDSL didn't notice any peak hours. Speed is consistent 24/7 throughout. Hope it will stay this way forever.

They operate at different channels so you can still use your fax and dial-up.

near the nlex, in caloocan. i took the 999 plan. so far ok naman, unlike nung first day. im also quite satisfied with the speed. sometimes lumalagpas pa sa 256kbps. by the way, how fast is the 1995 plan?

[Tmac_1]

yep, plan 999. i applied before the student plan came out. i think June 10 yun eh. may nilabas kasi silang promo for 999 sa selected magazines. some Pexers talked about it here so I decided to call PLDT and applied for one. Subscription was approved because the deadline was the following day, June 11. Yun nga lang, ang tagal ng hinintay ko to get this connection.

512 kbps (64 kB/s) but actual local bandwidth test is typically only around 470 kbps (59 kB/s) while internet download speed around 45 kB/s - 55 kB/s

[skuidward]

Tmac_1: ah. Akala ko kasi nag-apply ka nung ginawa na nilang student plan yung 999 nila.

A pldt CSR called our house yesterday! Kaso hindi ako ang nakausap, bakit kaya??

[Tmac_1]

probably to ask some details regarding the installation. sa akin kasi tinanong nila location ng phone, computer, ilang poste meron from point a, etc..

[skuidward]

^^ Sinabi lang pala nung CSR na tapos na yung 15pesos per call nila pag pldt to smart.

I had my mom call 171 kanina para magtanong uli tungkol dun sa student plan nila. Wala pa kasi akong natatanggap na message kung meron ng form sa school. Ayun kinulit ng mom ko tapos inapply na kami nung CSR over the phone. :D 2-3 weeks daw bago kami kabitan. Hanggang Aug. 31 na lang daw yung promo.

[eugene17]

dito ako sa muntinlupa. every 6-9 pm dc lagi. kaasar tumawag sa customer service 1++ hours k na on hold pa rin. purgado na ko sa tugtog nila dun. AHHAHAHAhaha

[MsEerie]

On-going pa rin yung Plan 999 na yan. May mga telemarketers na nangungulit pa rin sa akin eh.

[boy_toy]

i'm currently using PLDT DSL and i'm getting pissed off na... kasi yesterday the whole day i cant connect to DSL, i already restarted my computer several times and restared my DSL modem several times too but still no connection and i tried calling up their DSL hotline pero ang hirap! parating busy daw yung agents nila! :angry: until today ayaw pa rin mag connect sa DSL then i called up their DSL hotline again and thankfully may nag assist sakin pero she cant provide me with any solutions so she just said that she'll file a report regarding my problem to their technical support team and just wait for their call. d@mn! naiirita na ako.

[majo]

kami we applied for plan999, tapos nag text ang pldt ng username at password pero walang sinabi tungkol sa installation. tumawag pa ko sa kanila tapos approved na daw, any time next week ang installation. di man lang sila tumawag sa min, gugulatin na lang pala nila kami. question lang, may installation fee ba?

[Tylenol PM]

Whoa.. a question for those people on plan999... but yung speed ko hanggang 100 Mbps lang :( and the fastest I've observed when downloading goes only up to 35kb? Any suggestions on how I could go any faster? I'd really appreciate it.

[grim reaper]

is that 35kBps or 35kbps?

kung kB mabilis yan kasi ang plan 999 is 256kbps which is equal to 32kBps lang.

[grim reaper]

@majo
wala pong installation fee, kasi nung nagpakabit ako wala namang siningil o nag-reflect nong dumating na yung bill

[elvenjediknight]

any tips on how i can increase my download speed?

when i use download managers, there's no problem raeching the full 32 KBps, but when i browse webpages that have embedded videos (media player, flash videos etc) it takes forever to download.

Also i tried downloading something off the net, my download speed was only 1.2KBps, i thought it was a problem with the site's bandwidth till i asked my friend who was using smart wifi if he had the same problem. He said no, and that he actually reached 80 KBps while downloading that same file.

So how do i increase my download speed? The site i mentioned above doesn't allow the use of download managers and it'll simply take forever to download the 100+ MB file with only a speed of 1+ Kbps.

btw, can you guys access www.pldtplay.com? i haven't been able to access it since i got DSL

[skuidward]

majo: Nung nag apply ba kayo, student plan na yung 999?

[majo]

tnx grim reaper, so di ko kelangan mag handa ng pera hehehe

skuidward: yes, student plan. yung brother ko kasi sa asia pacific college sya kumuha at nagpasa ng application

[roadrage23]

I've been a PLDT myDSL subscriber for almost two years now. I'm quite satisfied with the service, despite downgrading my subscription plan from Professional to Plan 1995. I'm getting results similar to Jeck's experience.

[skuidward]

majo:

I see. Im having doubts tuloy about the application made over the phone by my mom na student plan din after reading your post. All the CSR did kasi was to ask my name(im the student) and my mom's particulars. Pero iniisip ko na lang na binigyan naman kami ng service number nung CSR and my mom double checked na yung student plan nga yung inapplyan namin at hindi plan 1995. Ang tagal kasi ng form sa school ko e. Napilit namin yung CSR na i-apply kami.

I'll post updates on our application.

[3BF8AX]

I've been a PLDT DSL subscriber for 3 yrs now. Clean lines and I'm averaging around 55KBS. I've experienced 24 hrs sustained speed of 340KBS. Yup, that's right, but on 3 occassions only. But it was hell of a ride.

[elvenjediknight]

can anybody access pldtplay.com?

someone told me that plan 999 subscribers don't have access to the site. I can't access it.. weird.. can other plan 999 subscribers confirm this please? thanks!

btw, still waiting for those download tips :)

[l1nkdis]

could be true, i had my dsl installed last july 15 and up to now i haven't accessed pldtplay once.. never really bothered by it since i'm not into online gaming.. dvd torrents are my thing... ;)

[p3rsmag]

Just got my PLDT MyDSL Plan 999 installed yesterday.

Ok naman sya very fast, did a test and more than 256kbps and speed.

One thing i noticed, i had the DSL connected at the 3rd floor in my room. When someone uses the extension (self made) at the ground floor, the DSL connection acts up, di na nag lo oad ng page (tho am still connected according to my connection prompt)

ANyone experience the same? how do i resolve this problem? Really need that extension at the ground floor.

[grim reaper]

@p3rsmag
you need to connect a line filter at that extension

[warp3d]

yep, you need to install a micro filter, if you don't your connection will be disconnected or you'll experience slow speeds.. the micro filter is free, kasama yun sa modem..

[p3rsmag]

actually i paid for 150 for the (1) micro filter.
Do i need a total of 2 micro filters for each phone unit?

I asked Customer Service of PLDT, they said if i dont have (registered) extension i don't have micro filter daw. Di ko alam kung inisahan ako nung installer cos he asked me to pay for it. So i need to buy another filter pa..

[grim reaper]

that should have been free, naisahan ka nga nung installer

[floreno]

tanong lang mga peeps...

Is the bill from PLDT Phone separate sa bill ng PLDT DSL?

[skuidward]

Nagtext na rin yung pldt samin ng username and password kagabi. :D Installation na lang at ok na!

Sana by this week or next week dumating na sila. :)

[Tmac_1]

im having problems today. i cant seem to access some sites. bat kaya? pag click ko ng link, lumalabas agad 'Could not find remote server'. (im using Opera) i doubt if the sites are really down. never pang nangyari yun. anyone here who knows about this?

[LadyMarmalade]

They won't give the micro filter to you for free if the extension lines that you have are illegal. No choice ka. You would need one micro filter for each extension that you have, or else erratic ang dsl connection mo everytime the extension lines are in use.

[skuidward]

Yay! We just got connected a few minutes ago! :D Andito pa nga yung naginstall e, tumatawag. hehe. Ang bilis pala talaga kesa sa dial up. :D

About the microfilter, the pldt guy gave us one free.

[pranZ]

hi huys, im interested to apply in this plan 999, how do i apply kasi im not a student anymore pero i have a 2 friends na na approve ang 999 plan kahit d na sila student....kasi sabi d raw sila strict doon, hanggang kelan ang application nito and how do i apply?

tnx!

[Tmac_1]

what the hell is this?

[Tmac_1]

may restrictions ba ang plan 999? para sa mga 999 users, can you please check the links i provided above? i need to know kung lahat tayo di nakaka access nun or ako lang.

[skuidward]

^I was able to to check my mail sa yahoo ngayon lang. Pati friendster blogs din ok lang. Yung sites na pinost mo, naaacess ko din. Baka may problem sa connection mo.

[elvenjediknight]

yep. friendster blogs and those sites worked for me.

pldtplay.com hindi gumagana sakin

[Tmac_1]

i wonder what's wrong? ok naman yung browser ko. its impossible kung may problema sa settings since i can view other sites. downloading is fast. other websites are fast. pati speed test ko pasok.

what could this be? virus perhaps? help naman.

[taghorjix]

i need feedback from pldt dsl users from marikina/cupang area. the pldt guys have been calling us nonstop for their 999 dsl promo. malapit na ako matempt. :P

another question, wala bang issues if ever ill set up a wireless network using pldt dsl sa bahay? salamat :D

[Tmac_1]

wow i finally found the solution to my friggin problem! change DNS IP address! yun lang pala problema! now i can access all the websites i want! ayos

[skuidward]

@taghorjx:
i live near marikina/cupang area. Ok naman ang service. Well, 3 araw pa lang naman since kinabitan kami at ok naman. Wala pa naman akog naeexperience na problema. :D

@Tmac_1:
pati pldtplay at mga .tk sites naaaccess mo na?

[Tmac_1]

yes, those tk sites work well but i still cant seem to get through pltdplay.. i think yung site na nila ang may problema..?

[p3rsmag]

can't seem to access pldt play too..

other than that my only problem is napuputol yung phone when someone picks up the extension phone!

pero super ok connection..

grabe naman PLDT! kung di na kaya ng bandwidth nila, wag na muna sila install ng install...

[skuidward]

May promo pa ba ng pldtdsl? I was browsing their site, and 1995 per month is still kind of too steep for me.

[Altwegg]

May free PC ba sa Plan 995?

:glee:

[dinramos]

sorry but no free PC for plan 995....:-) call 171 or visit www.mypad.net for ongoing promos

[Tmac_1]

is it just me or talagang may kabagalan mag load ang pex? Everytime kasi ako nagpe-pex palaging ganun.

yes, mas mabagal nga mag load ang Pex compared to the other sites. probably because there's a lot of us logged-on sa server nila. if you can recall (way back) dati nang problema to ng Pex :D

buti naman umayos yung speed after the weekend. Does this mean babagal talaga ng malupit ang DSL pag weekend?

[sneaker23]

wag muna *** magsubscribe hanggat d pa naayos ang linya ko sa pldt.
sinisiraan ko ang pldt. kasi isang buwan na walang technical na lumalapit skin para ayusin problema ko. pero araw araw ako 2matawg sa callcenter nila na urgent ang problema ko, pero paraating sasabihin na nakaqueue.

so bakit ko sinisiraan kasi galit ako. galit saan? kasi sa dami ng customer, malas ng ndi naaadressed ang problema sa connection.

maganda ang pldt kung sa speed kaso pagdating sa after sales..mag isip na ***..kasi dati sabi ko ok lang **** pangit ang after sales bsta maganda ang quality, un pala mas impt ang after sales...

take it from me

[Tmac_1]

kaya lang mahirap talaga palagpasin yung 999 a month eh. how much ngayon ang pinakamurang unlimited sa dialup? 440! at may kasama pang hassles yan sa pag connect at bagal ng connection. now, just add 560 pesos, almost 5x na ang speed, makakagamit ka pa ng phone while connected. tsambahan nalang sa status ng connection. yung iba di nagkakaproblema, yung iba naman, madalas.

i have to agree though regarding sa after sales service..sobrang bulok.

[skuidward]

@Tmac_1
oo nga pala, matagal ng ganyan ang pex. hehe.

I was having problems accessing the net yesterday. The whole morning kahapon I wasn't able to use the internet. Buti na lang nung gabi nagamit ko na rin.

[Invictus]

Can anyone tell me how to configure my outgoing mail on Outlook Express using pldtdsl? Thanks.

[sneaker23]

kaya nga wag muna kayu magpaconnect kasi saturated na masyado ang pldt. ako at ibang mga customers nagsusuffer kasi kuha sila ng kuha ng bagong customer tapos *** iba naaapektuhan..at may chance din maapektuhan ang mga bago..remember this bulok ang service nila at may 3 mos na nakatali ka pagnapaputol...so kung bago ka palng at after a month e bumagal ka, e malas nlng kasi pag pinaputol mo, mas malaki babayaran sa pretermination.

[Tmac_1]

@Tmac_1

[cynderssor]

mabilis na mag load ng page ang pex ngayon!

[skuidward]

^^Onga no. To think na may dinadownload pa ako ngayon. Yung dati wala pero ang bagal magbukas ng page dito sa pex. :D

[elvenjediknight]

actually, minsan hindi maka connect, but if you continously click "redial" 10-20 times, nakaka connect naman :glee:

[cynderssor]

im a bit disappointed with pldt's dsl, nakakonek ka nga pero minsan lahat ng websites cannot be found. kailangan pang maghintay ng mga isang oras para bumalik sa matinong kundisyon ang lahat.

satisfied ako sa service, i applied nong last wednesday and nong friday dumating na un techniician para ikabit (although wala ako sa bahay so ngayon *** nakabitan)
so far mabilis naman......

[yorimoto]

Tsk! Mukhang swertihan ang speed sa DSL... I've noticed na iba-iba ang feedback na may DSL. Mayroong sulit ang DSL, mayroon namang inis na inis dahil ubod ng pangit ang connection. Ang hirap tuloy mag-decide kung magpapakabit kami or hindi.

[warp3d]

http://www.smart.com.ph/SMART/Value+Added+Services/WiFi/about.htm

[pepperprone]

f3mm3_fatal3, my friend just inquired at the Smart Wireless Center in SM North EDSA today and they said that this introductory price of Php 788 (reg. Php988) is meant for their provincial launch. Yes. Provincial lang. For Metro Manila, October pa daw ang launching and they have no idea about the rates for the metropolis yet.

In order for you to decide.....Locate the nearest PLDT Center at your place....kung tingin mo at least 2 KM (4 KM required) yung layo ng center sa lugar mo....A good chance na mabilis ang internet connection mo

[Fereal]

wow i finally found the solution to my friggin problem! change DNS IP address! yun lang pala problema! now i can access all the websites i want! ayos

Hey, Tmac_1, how'd ya know that was the problem?

I'm currently subscribed to plan 999 (the student plan), but right now, hinde me makakonek sa iba't ibang websites (pero sa iba, pwede). Heck, I can't even do my homework because of that (some "student" plan).

[Tmac_1]

^ yung ibang dns servers kasi ng pldt, down palagi. especially in my case. during the first week, ok lahat. i didn have any problems accessing different sites. pero one day, ayun, di na gumana karamihan sa sites. the customer reps wont tell you anything you didnt know. kesyo down daw yung pinupuntahan kong site, try again later, etc!

so i searched around and tried changing dns settings. voila, nabuksan ko na lahat ng 'down' na site. no more surfing problems. up to now, wala nang problema sa connection ko.

pards, pwede mo bang i-post yung mga DNS numbers na ginamit mo para ma-try din namin?

[Tmac_1]

sure, no problem. i got this from another forum.

host - ns1.jp.opennic.glue
DNS IP - 219.127.89.34

nagkakaproblema ka din?

[Agapito]

sure, no problem. i got this from another forum.

host - ns1.jp.opennic.glue
DNS IP - 219.127.89.34

nagkakaproblema ka din?

Yup. Anyway, tinawagan ako ng PLDT kanina, ni-reboot daw nila yung DNS nila tapos gumana na siya.

[Tmac_1]

and how bout pldt play? ok na ba?

[kareggiels]

nagpakabit ako yesterday, wala daw Installation fee at walang hidden charges(vat). 999 pesos

[Tmac_1]

i doubt it. sa akin 1,100+ bill ko for the first month...

[kareggiels]

Ewan ko. Yun ang sabi eh. Kailan ka ba nagpakabit?
Magkakademandahan na lang kapag malaki yung siningil sa amin.

[Fifidudels]

I'm a newb or noob?Anyway,I recently got Pldt dsl and wanted to hook up 2 pcs and a laptop to it.I bought a router and followed the instructions and used the CD that accompanied it.Tried it out and it worked for a while and then no more.If you guys know anything to remedy this, help me out.

Maraming Salamat.

fifidudels@yahoo.com

[rychu]

wala namang hidden charges. yung first month na babayaran mo... kasama dun yung number of days from the start na kabitan ka kaya bigger than usual.

ang bill mo is 1760++ usually including phone bills.

[skuidward]

Our pldt bill came today. My jaw dropped as i saw the internet charges section of our bill. Pldt charged us P2700+ for DSL PRE-TERMINATION FEE and another P1699.18 for the dsl MSF!!! :grrr: I was like, "huh? plan 999 lang naman ang inaplyan namin tapos halos 4K ang singil sa amin!" I even double checked with the CSR bago dumating yung nagkabit sa amin. Plan 999 daw ang application namin.Tsaka bakit merong pre termination fee eh 1st month pa lang naman kami?

Makatawag nga sa pldt. :angry:

[skuidward]

I just called pldt. I-checheck daw nung CSR kung bakit meron kaming pre-termination fee pero supposedly wala daw dapat. Tapos about the MSF, yung period covered daw kasi is from Aug 25 from Oct. 20, almost 2 months na, kaya more than 999. Next month, regular na 999 na ang MSF ng dsl namin.

Buti na lang, akala ko eh mapapasubo ako ng labanan dito.
