PLDT myDSL

[samantha_jones]

Question...I recently applied sa plan 999. 256 kpbs pa siya now and I saw an ad about plan 999 na 384 kbps. In-upgrade nila? iuupgrade din ba nila yung connection namin who subscribed to plan 999 since we're paying the same amount for much less speed? Unfair naman diba?

[si_ako]

how about sa mandaluyong and pasig ok ba pldt dsl dun? lapit na kc kami lipat dun, pinagpipilian plng yung dalwang lugar. thanks!

[AE89]

is it just me or down ang multiply.com? di ako maka-access e. sabi ng friend ko di nmn down *** site (note di sya pldt dsl)..

yeah di ko rin maaccess yung multiply.com, (naka DSL din ako).. asar nga eh, dami ko pa naman pics na lalagay.. pati deviantart.com *** rin

[newtype]

hmm.. i can access devianart.com ****.. dang it, kelan *** maayos *** multiply.com access ng dsl

The speed increase will be gradual. Sa selected areas muna nila iaaaply yung speed increase then sa lahat na ng subscribers nila(See newspaper/magazine ads). Kahit kami hindi pa na-iincrease ang speed. Pero ok lang. I'll just wait for our turn.

[skuidward]

saan pwede makabili ng extra micro-filters?
Computer shops?

[Altwegg]

No Tondo subscribers still?

[sinister7zex]

don't subscribe to pldt mydsl, if you have options.... try other... like bayantel ksi may money back guarantee sila if youre not satisfied for a month ata.pldt will make your internet life the worst ever....

ALAM NYO BA NA IM MONITORING MY CONNECTION FOR ALMOST A WEEK NOW AFTER ILANG BESES INAAYOS WIRES KO RAW SA LABAS DAHIL SA INTERMITTENT DC'S... OH YES BUMABA SYA ONCE A DAY MERON PA RING DC, DI PWDE WALA! at sabi s kin nung lineman "at least na minimize" aba hindi ba pwde i erradicate ito nang tuluyan?

mahirap daw talaga hulihin ang reason ng intermittent dc's....

hay naku for how many years na maraming ganitong problema, hindi pa rin nila mamaster ang solution for this kind of problem!

one month na problem ko, yet di pa rin totally resolved!

KAYA PAYO KO ULIT SA INYO, IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE, WAG PDT DSL ANG PILIIN NYO, MAGSISISI **** KAYO!

[Altwegg]

Is there an alternative choice?

[skuidward]

Altwegg: it really depends kung anong meron kang landline sa pagpapakabitan mo ng dsl. Kung pldt, most likely dun ka na. Unless willing ka mag bayad ng additional for an additional landline(ex. globelines).

[GreatBop]

^actually, if you aply for the 1.5k and 2.5k service ng bayantel, line installation is free. yun lang nga. questionable if may available bayantel line sa area mo.

[erichubert]

tondo: speed slows down on the average of 10-12 days per month. if you want to shut down your computer without the worry of the speed slowing down the next time you connect, don't go with pldt dsl. the tech support s u c k s as well.

[obiwan]

Hi,

Maraming salamat for sharing the info on myDSL.

Favor, could you also specify what area you are from so that we will know what areas myDSL is sure to have lousy service?

and if ever there are those who are happy with Plan999...kindly specify also what area you are in,..

Thanks!!
:)

[skuidward]

Im happy again with my connection. My location is in antipolo.

[booster]

totoo bang hanggang dec 31 lang ang plan999?sabi lang ng kapatid ko pero di ako sure...kasi uuwi pa ako ng pilipinas january pa.interesado ako magpakabit ng dsl paguwi ko

[Altwegg]

Haaay. I'm getting mixed reviews. Hindi tuloy ako makapag-decide.

[newtype]

tanong lang po...

static ip ba eh yung hindi nagtatanong na ng username at password everytime you connect? ganito ang plan 999, tama ba?

naguguluhan kasi ako..at para saan ba ang username at password? hindi ko pa kasi nagagamit dahil nakakonect ng hindi tinatanong itong mga eto. tinext sa amin ang username at password at sabi puntahan ang site ng pldtmypad pero hindi naman nirerecognize nung pldtmypad *** usrname at paswrd.

baka kasi kung ano binigay sa amin nung nag-install..

nagpunta na ko sa isang pldt branch para sa problem ko at para na rin magtanong-tanong ng kung ano-anu abt dsl pero ang sabi sa akin tawagan ko na lang ang hotline nila.

hanubayan dapat mga tauhan nila dun may alam naman sa produkto nila.

so nagreresearch muna ako ***** bago ako tumawag sa kanila..

[totoolangnaman]

Hello. :D

Have you checked the settings of your DSL modem? It's possible that the logon function is being handled by your modem. (i'm not sure though)

My friend who is a recent myDSL subscriber was given a modem that handles the username and password settings of his myDSL account.

Good luck! :D

yung username and password na tinext sa inyo, i-save nyo lang yan. Hahanapin sa inyo yan ng technician pagkinabitan na kayo.Kinabitan na ba kayo? The tech guy will enter the username and password while configuring your modem and that's it. You can now connect to the internet. 1 time entry lang yan. After entering, i-on mo lang ang modem mo and you will be connected automatically..

about trying it on mypad.net, hindi talaga gagana yan. Para lang yun sa email address nyo. Iba pa yun.

[Altwegg]

How many days bago makabitan?

[skuidward]

Kadalasan, mga 1-3 weeks ang aantayin mo para kabitan ka. In our case, saktong 1 week after namin mag-apply kinabitan na kami.

[phat_azz_TKD]

How many days bago makabitan?

kami saturday kami nag-confirm.. monday nakabitan na kami.. although we have to consider na walking distance lang kami sa office ng PLDT dito sa las piñas..

[[L]es]

hey just got myDSL plan999, it's decent naman. d/ling stuff at 20 - 35k/ sec and browsing's fast. two thumbs up :)

[DI10]

kakainggit naman kayo magaaply nga rin ako

[boi_bibo]

lagi nga sya na ddc whaaaa...kala ko its an OS issue *** nag system restore pa ako heheh im from antipolo...pero ok naman speed nya

i cannot access the ethernet router page (192.168.1.1), im using PL-DSL1 ADSL Ethernet Router...pero dati naman na-access ko *** hmmm ano *** problem?

i already check the IE settings and sa tingin ko tama naman...nagforce speed na rin ako ng NIC pero ganun pa rin...
ayaw ko naman pindutin yung reset button kasi bka ndi na gumana e alang sumsagot sa hotline nila

ok naman yung technician na pumunta sa amin...hindi sila umalis hanggat ndi gumagana...

[Altwegg]

Sila na rin ba magpoprovide ng Ethernet card ba yun? Anyway, is there any truth to this rumor: May Plan750 DSL unlim daw?

[boi_bibo]

yung sa akin kasi ndi gumagana yung NIC sa pc ko hindi nila maccess yung ethernet router page so sabi nila defective daw *** bumili ako sa kanila 700...masyado akong excited *** bumili na lang ako sa kanila hehhe...750plan? huwaw ok yun ah...

Your current bandwidth reading is:

28.07100 kbps

which means you can download at 3.51000 KB/sec. from our servers. Run Test Again.

hmmm...ok na ba 'to for plan999? parang ang bagal ata

no connection pa rin from 7-11pm EVERY night! 3 weeks na to! :mad:

[spongeboob]

hmm.. mukhang marami pa ring nagpapakabit ah.. wala atang nagbabasa sa mga posts dito.. anyway i cant wait to say I TOLD YOU SO.. hehe

pero in fairness sa pldt maayos na speed ko lately.. siguro sobrang dami ng nagrereklamo..

[boi_bibo]

hmm ata...microfilter = splitter? if the same sila yes i do have...nagbayad ako additional 500 bucks whaaaa kala ko free yun :bop:

k..sa email lang pala yun :lol: ..sobrang salamat sa pagreply :) malinaw na sa akin sa wakas :D

[boi_bibo]

hmmm di ba yung sinend sa text yun din ang gagamitin mong username/password to setup the PPPoE settings...kasi ang pagkakaalm ko even if you set up the modem its still gonna authenticate your username/password :D

splitter ? err.. i don't think so.

i think it depends rin on the area.. 2nd day today of my DSL connection and i haven't had a problem. (well not unless you count those two times that i got disconned last night and it took me around 15 minutes to reconn)

[boi_bibo]

hehehe ano ba yung microfilter? san nakakabili nun? and ano purpose? thanks

[warp3d]

hehehe ano ba yung microfilter? san nakakabili nun? and ano purpose? thanks


if you have a phone extension in your house(legal or illegal hehe) you'll need the microfilter for each phone line so you won't get disconnected everytime the extension is used..

ANG DAYA ng PLDT!!!

Am paying a premium of P1995.00/month to get at least 512 KBPS (upgraded to 700kbps), what do I get????? Speeds of between 171kbps to 266kbps!!! :grrr:

My Gosh!!! P999 nalang ang 384 kbps. I don't even get 384 kbps. :grrr:

[knn]

Question...I recently applied sa plan 999. 256 kpbs pa siya now and I saw an ad about plan 999 na 384 kbps. In-upgrade nila? iuupgrade din ba nila yung connection namin who subscribed to plan 999 since we're paying the same amount for much less speed? Unfair naman diba?

DUH??? Ako ng , I'm paying P1995/month!!!!! I get 256 kbps lang!!!! :grrr: :grrr: :grrr:

[knn]

ive heard rumors na maguupgrade nanaman ang pldt ng speeds!!! can anyone confirm this?

I got ripped off by PLDT DSL!!!! At P1995/month, I only get 265kbps :grrr: :grrr:

The DSL Splitter was free when we applied for our myDSL account since it's important to have that (all phone lines/extensions should emanate from the DSL splitter. Otherwise, the line noise will affect your myDSL connection).

[AE89]

umm.. panu mo malalaman yung speed na binibigay ng PLDT sayo?
saken lumalabas after connection 10.0 MBPS .. pero may time na ang bagal parin.. (im on my dsl professional)

btw, gumagana na ba yung multiply sa inyo? dinownload ko na yung sabi dito, ala parin. :(

the microfilter is not the splitter. The microfilter allows the user to use the phone and the dsl at the same time without the intteruption. The splitter on the other hand splits the phone line so that you can have one for your phone and one for your dsl modem.

The splitter comes along with the modem. It should be free. The microfilter on the other hand is to be provided be the technician. It is also free, well at least for one phone line.

Well, i really don't know if PLDT changed its policy, but I'd find it odd if the modem is "free" but the splitter isn't since it's a very important piece of hardware. It's best to call PLDT and ask. :)

I noticed though that PLDT doesn't inform the client that all phone lines and extensions should emanate from the splitter. Two of my friends had problems with their myDSL connections until I informed them that they need the splitter. After they had the DSL splitters installed, their connection problems disappeared since the phone line noise doesn't cause problems anymore.

[HK-47]

i guess i've been lucky so far. i'm on plan 1995 and i've been getting a consistent speed of around 480kbps, and i haven't had any connection problems. and did anyone else notice that myDSL was abnormally fast 2 days ago? but i was getting like 1200+kbps on that day. i tried many bandwidth tests and the results were consistent. i checked my GetRight download history that day and the 2 files i DL'd had an average DL speed of 157.3 (!!) and 141.4 KiloBYTES/s. then the speed went back to normal yesterday. bummer.

BTW, when will this upgrade i've been hearing about take effect? will all subscribers' bandwidth be upgraded? by how much?

[Altwegg]

I'm planning to subscribe. Any Tondo user feedback?

[niceplay]

Im also planning to subscribe. Any taytay rizal users? any feedback pls.. tnx :D

[dumfuk]

question: how do i configure the dsl for the mac? i can access ym but parating cannot find server sa safari eh...

barkada ko nagavail din ng plan he's from golden city...ok naman yung connection ala naman ata problems hehe :naughty:

[sinister7zex]

wag kayo magpakabit ng pldt mydsl........ sinasabi ko sa inyo magsisisi kayo!

kung may option, try nyo bayantel , maganda feedback dun kasi konti lang subscriber.

[knn]

I am testing my bandwith now at pldtplay...

It is at 27kbps/sec. Below modem speed....an I am paying a hefty amount of P1500 or P1995/month!!!! What the heck! am gonna bombard 171 and 172375 with calls tomorrow.

I am being ripped off big time!!!!

[baBy_GurL17]

ito lang ba talaga ang available sa laguna? tsktsk. sana magkaron na ng globe at skydsl soon......

[boi_bibo]

down ba ang dsl? badtrip nagcoconect *** pero laging page cannot be displayed ang lumalabas...i tried using 2 different browser pero the same issue...napiping ko naman yung default gateway and google pero ayaw magconnect...hindi naman *** OS issue since nakaconnect ako using dial-up whaaaa...tama ba? lagi ba talagang busy ang hotline ng PLDT???

[pepperprone]

boi_bibo: didn't have internet connection for almost 3 days. i say almost kasi narestore lang kaninang 4pm after fruitless attempts to get through 172375 (na wala talagang silbi so don't try this at home!!!). what i did was contact the guy who heads (i think) yung mga service requests dito sa area namin sa QC.

after telling my problem and the subsequent attempts i made, today, he promised me that he'll get my connection back. bumalik at 4pm and i was able to surf for 1.5 hours. tapos i turned off my pc lang for about 3 hours (but didn't turn off the modem) tapos wala na naman pag on ko ulit! eto, balik na ulit after two hours. argh!

sabi niya, sa data exchange daw nila ang problem. sabi ko ok lang sana kung may problem sa exchange nila pero yung walang makalusot sa 172#@% eh ibang level na!

pero salamat na rin lang at naayos. i told him kasi that for every single day na wala akong dsl connection, they have to deduct it from my pldt bill.

[knn]

Hay naku, mga inutil ang tao dyan sa 172375.

I know na plan 1995 ako but the ppl from 172375 insisted na plan 1500 daw ako!!! Tapos ang bandwidth ko below 250kbps pa!!!

WHAT the,,,,,,,, :bop:

[chloe15]

pldt is ok kasi bilis ng downloads and stuff pero pag gumagawa na ko hw ng madaling araw dc ako every 5 or 10 minutes. as in di exag yun ah. :( nagpunta na ulit yugn tech nila dito samin para check connection and may inayos ulit pero dc pa rin. plus kanina connected ako sa internet pero di ako maka access ng kahit ano kahit yahoo messenger. sa websites pldt lang na access ko. :(

[ella_jose]

bad trip pldt dsl..
laging dc..
:grrr:

[JdelaCruz]

Couldn't connect at all a few hours ago, around 8pm onwards. All the lights on the modem were green but couldn't load any page. I thought it was my pc that was the problem and almost did a system restore. Just slept it off instead and had better luck when i tried again.

Damn service. It's touch and go and it sucks. It sucks that you just know it will drop just anytime while you're in the middle of an important download or chat or call. It sucks that everytime you log off your pc, you worry that you won't be able to reconnect when you log on again. It sucks that you're gonna be suffering this for the next twelve months.

[DI10]

kakatakot naman mga reply ng subscribers! mag smart wifi nalang kaya ako? undecided talaga ako para sa connection na kukunin ko e :(

[mortenharkett72]

Mabilis ang smartwifi, pero maabot hanggang 400+kbps ko. un lang nga marami ring problema sa speed dahil bumabagsak ng sobra hanggga sa wala talagang connection. May mga blocked ports and sites pa.

[earlboy]

I don't know if this will work for you guys, but it worked for me.
Dati problema ko din, na di ako maka-connect, saka DC. Ang ginawa ko, pinalitan ko yung telephone wire ng PLDT ng CAT 5, tapos nag-palit din ako ng router from dlink to linksys. That was a few months back, up to now wala na akong naging problem, been, surfing and running my bittorent client almost everyday without any slowdown or dc.

[stryker2004]

hello po, interested kasi akong magpakabit ng dsl... i'm confused in which service to choose... can someone give me advice... i'm just an engineering student and i want value with the money i pay because the monthly charges will be deducted on my allowance... kelangan ko lang nang mas mabilis sa dial-up... wala akong landline... i was tempted to apply in Smart.. pls i need help.. the promo in other services is until december 31 only... gusto ko pang makahabol...

[ako si..]

ako po dito sa cubao q.c. ang location and wala naman kami na experience na problem, of course may interruption pero nde tumatagal ng one hour and super bihira ma-dc.

wala kang landline? I don't know about other service providers but for you to apply to pldt dsl you need a pldt landline. The line goes to the adsl splitter and goes to your phone and pc.

if your lucky. you can cancel w/o any penalties. if you unsubscribe for less than a week. but more than that you have to pay 3x999. for the so called disconnection. fee. that's what 1year lockin is for. heheheh :D

hi boys and girls maganda po ba yung pldt dsl 999? pede na ba tong pang online gaming plus bit comet download.

relative yung term na maganda. pwedeng maganda sa area ko, pero at sagwa **** dyan sa area mo. dun sa bhay ng parents ko sa kalookan, naka plan999 sila. wala namang malalalong problema tulad ng mga nararanasan ng iba dito. so sulit na ren. kse pwedeng mag download ng torrents (max 40kbps sa akin) at online games.

I don't think so. Unless you have a problem like sinister7zex that required rewirings and such (he mentioned in one of his posts that pldt agreed to cut his subscription without any penalties), you will pay the pre-termination fee.

[extacy0690]

My PLDT subcription (Plan 1995) has been satisfactory since March, to say the least. I had it connected October of last year, had random disconnect problems from December to March (with numerous trips by PLDT techs to my house... close na nga kami nung lineman eh). What the lineman did was re-wire EVERYTHING; even the telephone line was re-wired. The DSL line was also separated para hindi mag-short (most likely the reason for the disconnects). Since then, hindi na ako nadi-disconnect unless talagang may outage.

My advice to those who experience random disconnects is call up PLDT everyday and demand that they re-wire everything. I assure you, once they do that, your internet life will be trouble-free. ;)

Tama c Neth_row kailangan *** re-wiring tested & proven na yan sakin, kac pagnakakabit *** extension line nyo sa main wire magshoshort un, dapat sa main line dapat ang nakakabit *** *** line ng DSL papunta sa PC mo tpos mga extension phone bumili nalng *** ng splitter :)remember *** DSL is Digital konti *** share sa main line tipok agad *** connection.... dati download speed ko 2 kbps *** ngayon 95kbps na after i re-wired ..just take d advise of Neth_row

Hi all!

To all those subscribers of PLDT MyDSL 999, are you experiencing a difficult time in surfing? I've been suffering from selective browsing for a week already. I actually called the tech support and they blame it to the site I'm accessing. But, I asked my friend to access it and he can access it naman. I find this frustrating. I think this is an issue for the MyDSL999 subscribers, but I don't know with others.

Meron bang nakahanap ng solution for this? I just got lucky na today, I got a nice connection. But, I still can't access some sites such as www.apple.com and www.pinoydsl.net. This is awful.

[knn]

Why don't you try accessing multiply.com or apple.com thru a proxy server?

I can't access SOOMPI.COM for some reason. I had no problems with it two weeks ago, I think it has to do w/PLDT's sucky service. My friend is a subscriber of MERIDIEN WIFI n she can access SOOMPI.COM.

Heres the link

[geekhead]

Guys, we're planning on getting the MyDSL plan 999. I'm quite ignorant on broadband matters so I just wanna ask a few questions:

1. You need a LAN card right? But from what the tech said when we bought a new mobo (P4S800 DX or something I think) and processor, most mobos including ours have a built in LAN card so no need to buy. Is that right? What else should I buy?

2. Plan 999 has supposedly upgraded to 384 although most users still get less than 300. Actually since I'm a first time broadband user I wouldn't mind getting around 256 kbps only (Yes, I know I should be getting what I paid for). But are there more instances of actually getting less than 200+ kbps or roughly around 50% of the subscribed speed? That's something that I will not tolerate.

3. How about disconnections? Is it really frequent or will it depend on the area/connection?

4. Any hidden charges or will we just pay the flat rate of the subscribed plan and with no installation fee?

5. Would the proximity to a PLDT office/tower be a factor? We live just beside the PLDT building/tower in Welcome Rotonda, Espana.

6. Would a high-rise building/condominium present problems? We reside in one. Should we get the regular myDSL line or maybe Smart wifi or myDSL-W?

7. Could someone give me a walkthrough on the connection process? After we apply, what will happen? What sort of stuff will the technicians do and for how long? Is it okay to leave the supervision of the installation process in the hands of a non-techy person?

[skuidward]

Guys, we're planning on getting the MyDSL plan 999. I'm quite ignorant on broadband matters so I just wanna ask a few questions:

1. You need a LAN card right? But from what the tech said when we bought a new mobo (P4S800 DX or something I think) and processor, most mobos including ours have a built in LAN card so no need to buy. Is that right? What else should I buy?

2. Plan 999 has supposedly upgraded to 384 although most users still get less than 300. Actually since I'm a first time broadband user I wouldn't mind getting around 256 kbps only (Yes, I know I should be getting what I paid for). But are there more instances of actually getting less than 200+ kbps or roughly around 50% of the subscribed speed? That's something that I will not tolerate.

3. How about disconnections? Is it really frequent or will it depend on the area/connection?

4. Any hidden charges or will we just pay the flat rate of the subscribed plan and with no installation fee?

5. Would the proximity to a PLDT office/tower be a factor? We live just beside the PLDT building/tower in Welcome Rotonda, Espana.

6. Would a high-rise building/condominium present problems? We reside in one. Should we get the regular myDSL line or maybe Smart wifi or myDSL-W?

7. Could someone give me a walkthrough on the connection process? After we apply, what will happen? What sort of stuff will the technicians do and for how long? Is it okay to leave the supervision of the installation process in the hands of a non-techy person?
My answers:

1. Yep, in terms of hardware, a lan card is all you need.

2. Im from antipolo and our speed hasn't increased yet. Ok lang naman sa akin kasi alam kong matagal mag-upgrade ang pldt lalo na sa location ko. Yes, we sometimes get speeds lower than what we pay for. I think hindi talaga maiiwasan yun. If you read the past posts in this thread, nung october grabe ang naranasan namin. Ngayon naman ok na sya uli.

3. I think disconnections have to do with your area or how you connect your phone line to your modem. Sa case ko naman, bihira lang ako ma disconnect.

4. Absolutely no hidden charges.

5. Im not really sure.

6. Try asking the operator about this. Most likely you'll be opted to go for the wired dsl for you are within city limits naman.

7. After application, you will receive a text message regarding your username and password. Do not delete the message. Within 2-3 weeks time a technician will drop by your place to install the dsl. Ang gagawin lang naman talaga pag kinabitan ka e ikakabit yung line mo to a splitter then to the dsl modem then to your pc tapos they're done. May konteng configurations pang gagawin yung technician(entering the username and password, etc.). All you have to do is show them the pc and the phone line and show them the text message from pldt.

[geekhead]

Guys, what's the lock-in period for plan 999? Is it 1 or 2 years? Is is the same for all plans?

[rychu]

2 years for me.

[newtype]

[tyrambo]

Am I the only who thinks there's something very suspicious about the shape of that poll graph?

:hmm: Metapora ng PLDT myDSL? Hehehe.

[m4xe]

hello.

i have a brand new dsl connection. surfing ok, but can't send attachments via email, and can't upload files to various web sites (yahoo briefcase, flickr, uploading.com, etc). does anyone know what the problem could be? (in simple terms please, hehe)

[warp3d]

me too.. 2 days na akong di makapag upload, i'm on 999....

[EncreNoire]

Question:
May plano kaming magapply ng Plan 999 pero hindi namin alam kung DSL or DSL-W.

1. ano ba yung main difference ng 2 besides sa walang wires yung DSL-w?

2. Ano yung mas maganda sa 2?

3. Pwede ba 2 computers?

thanks ^^

thanks ^^1. basically, u need a phone line kung DSL at antenna (or something) naman for DSL-W na pagkakabitan ng receiver.

2. wired is much more reliable than wireless..

3. yes, u just need a router..

regarding the PLDT promo, i'm not sure kung sa phone calls ito or dsl plans.. ayaw din sabihin sakin basta wait na lang daw on jan 7.. :)

dun sa mga naka-plan 999.. ano average bandwith nyo.. the highest i get so far is 259kbps.. never ko pa nareach yung 300 mark.. ok na din sana kung talagang 256 lang ang plan, pero based dun sa promo nila dapat 384kbps na.. i tried calling their hotline and sabi sakin, yun daw 384 is the maximum daw but not necessarily the average speed.. :depressed:

[sweetNsexy]

I looked at the personal package of PLDT DSL, and it looks ok.

Total Start-up Cost will include:
Monthly service feeP 2,000
Modem rentalFREE
Installation fee *P 1,500
Total Start-up Cost (vat inclusive)P 3,500
128kbps
unlimited internet accessthis was posted way back in november 2000.. more than 5 years ago... 2k/month for 128 kbps only plus 1.5k installation fee..

ngayon 999/mo for 384kbps na, tapos reklamo pa kayo... :naughty:

wait til 2010.. a 2mbps for 499/mo... :D

[pro_tempore]

Tmac_1 thanks for the dns settings. you just helped me keep my deadlines *okay*

100% more helpful than pldt customer service!

[rychu]

Hi all!

I'm currently a PLDT999 subscriber. I plan to upgrade it to the 1995 one. Has anyone upgrade it? Was the speed noticeable? And what were the the steps/requirements needed?

[Genghis]

Thanks a lot Tmac_1. I tried this and it worked. I'm not really a multiply.com user but I just don't like the thought that there are sites that I cannot visit.

[dimsumqueen100]

Ugh! I hate DSL's customer service. They just give me the same stupid script everytime. It takes forever for them to fix the problem.
Now I'm having trouble uploading stuff to websites, something about network issues and network timing out. Does anyone know what's wrong or what I can do to fix it? I have an inkling it has something to do with the modem cause lights keep blinking and it didn't use to blink before.

BTW, pano yung billing kapag 2 computers? pwde ba magshare yung 2 computers sa linya ng DSL assuming na maghahati yung 2 computers sa bilis ng connection para 999 lang per month yung babayaran?

I've also had problems uploading and even sending mails (using my PLDT myDSL plan) for the past few days. I've never experienced this before...What seems to be the problem?

I'm afraid calling customer service is of no use :grrr:

kung di mo kabisado ito, mas mainam kung patulong ka na lang sa suking technician para di mamali sa bibilhing gamit for set-up ng 2 PCs... :)

1.) i've been out of pldt dsl for more than a month now. pero i'm still able to access the email service

2.) infocom handles the email services. kaya it's pretty good, actually.

[nt_sport]

Actually, di ba 2Mbps na ang plan-3000 nila? Parang nabasa ko siya last week, e. Pinantayan nila yung package ng Globe.

na-upgrade na ba yung speed dito sa las piñas? since yesterday more than 35KB/s ang download speed ko...

[dimsumqueen100]

Ugh...I hate their customer service. It takes them 1 million years to get here (1-2 weeks in my language). I'm paying that much for ******** service. I'm going to cut it soon. They suck.

[boi_bibo]

huhuhu ako laging nadidisconnect pati ndi makapagupload ng mga files whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :mecry:

nagcheck na ko ng browser settings pati i followed na rin yung dns settings pero laging page cannot be displayed pagmalapit ng matapos iupload yung pics :depressed: :angry: :grrr:

[EncreNoire]

Anong router yung kelangan ko para sa 2 computers. magaapply na kasi kami mamaya eh. ano yung maganda? thanks

Las Pinas din po ako. yay! XD

[EncreNoire]

Totoo ba na wala na yung Plan 999? kasi sabi ng tao dun sa SM nung naginquire ako wala na raw pero hindi ako naniniwala. ano ba talaga? :confused:

[Altwegg]

I plan to subscribe din. Ang alam ko kasi hanggang Dec. 31 lang yun. May extension ba?

[boi_bibo]

ei peeps help naman pano ko mafifix yung issue regarding uploading files?

wala kasing tibay na maasahan dito sa PLDT hotline eh? whaaaaaa

Bakit ayaw bumukas ng ibang website on PLDT MYDSL? kung alam nyo ang remedyo, patulong naman! tnx!!

[obiwan]

I live in Libis....and applied for myDSL (wired), after 3 weeks of waiting, (they said it would only take 1 week at first)

the installers (contractors for PLDT, not actual PLDT employees since these installations are commonly contracted out) finally arrive, the job order was on myDSL letterhead and their equipment came in PLDT myDSL boxes as well..

when they were about to install, the contractor informs me that they will now install the TRANSMITTER for SMART WIFI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lucky for me i know the difference between a WIFI connection and a WIRED one (btw WIRED is better, even according to the technician!!)

I told them NOT to proceed until i call 171 customer service....after waiting 30 mins, the operator acknowledges that they decided to give me SMART WIFI (without informing me!!!) since the "Wired" my DSL is not available in my area THIS IS B.S.!!.... since I live in Greenmeadows Libis, and I have 3 other neighbors who have Wired my DSL!!!

I cancelled the application....i think they are trying to prey on people who dont know anything about the difference between WIRED and WIFI, and just allow them to make the installation.....

That is outrightly misleading the customer to signing up for something completely different!!!

BEWARE!!!

[TheWookie]

I'm using PLDT MyDSL PLAN 1995, and my speed has been upgraded just yesterday at no extra cost! My speed is now averaging 750 Kbps! Woo Hoo!!!! *okay*

[DevilHands]

amp! ako din di ako makaupload ng files! subok nyo magattach ng files sa yahoo... nakastuck lang kasi sa akin sa "attaching files"... kaya pala sobrang lag pagako create sa pogz eh... may problema connection ko amp! :grrr:

[Cyberspacebabe]

^ hay naku, yan din a problema namin ngayon ** sa bahay! nagpalit kami ng server (dati dial-up tapos destiny cable kami... medyo mabagal), kaya lumipat kami sa pldt mydsl... mabilis nga pero madalas naman nagigiba.

sana may server na mabilis pero di nasisira lagi! is that too much to ask?!?! grrrr........... sarili kong blog di ko mabuksan. kagabi, ym lang pwede. minsan, wala **** kahit anong connection

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!?! PLDT?!?!?! Baka gusto nyo rin mawalan uli ng customers.

[jasonsteel]

@ wpg3, ano bang error ang lumalabas sa browser mo?

go to www.dnsreport.com and enter the domain name of the website ur trying to access, baka kasi down naman talaga yung website. it is also remotely possible na blocked yung website ng ISP or sobrang bagal lang **** ng connection mo kaya nag time-out.

@ Cyberspacebabe, sad to say mukhang di mawawalan ng suscribers ang PLDT, nasa kanila na kasi lahat eh... yung MyDSL residential plan could burst up to how fast ba? 384kbps??? kaso nga lang its not a commitment and it could be as slow or even slower than dial-up depending on the quality of your phone line & congestion in your area.

[EncreNoire]

Alaskador yung tao dun sa Southmall kahapon. wala na raw yung Plan 999 pero pag balik ko dun kanina, may plan 999 saka sabi rin ng customer service kanina sa telepono meron pa raw. LOL

[chummykins]

Cyberspacebabe, saang area ka? Kasi, kami rin nakaka-experience nito sa Novaliches. Naisip ko baka yung mga cables ng telephone line may problema kasi sa house ng parents ko naman, hindi nagkakaganito.

[GreatBop]

see this thread (http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35874&page=40&pp=40), especially Tmac_1's suggested IPs.

iba-iba ang paraan ng pag-set ng DNS IP, depende sa OS. you still have to look up the procedure, i'm afraid, though if you're on windows xp, i think you have to go to control panel -> network settings -> local area connection -> properties -> tcp/ip -> properties -> assign the dns settings manually. tapos.

not sure though sorry, i'm using linux atm.

Well I know that this is not a new thing but mine is quite odd compared to others. Reasons why my case is ODD:

-dc every 10 mins when playing freestyleonline
-dc every 10-30 mins when downloading in BitCommet(Torrent) and or using Nettransport
-dc every 5 mins when playing battlenet DOTA
-dc every5 mins when playing NBA LIVE(I'm downloading while playing)
-dc every 30 mins - 2hrs when playing ragnarok
-dc every 4 hrs when browsing

This numbers are very consistent, what seems to be the problem here??

there you go. plan 999.

once pldt's server feels that you're trying to download too much (ie, games, torrents, etc)... nagkaka roon ng bandwidth cap off.

that problem of yours don't exist sa higher dsl plans.

[blackmoon9_11]

pareho po tau plan 999 but i don't experience problems in a very consistent manner hehe...

[warp3d]

pa rewire mo fone lines nyo and separate yung line for your dsl..

[totoolangnaman]

question:

Did PLDT install a DSL Splitter? It's a small box with a main phone line input on one end and a phone unit output and modem output on the other end.

All phone units (main and extensions) should emanate from the DSL Splitter.

[RaP]

check your cables, get a new lan card

[boglers]

HI,

Does anyone here know the local IP address of the PLDT DSL modem? I tried 192.168.1.1 but i cannot get the settings page. Also, why is my LAN's IP address 169.x.x.x? This is a private IP right? My LAN settings is Obtain Ip automaticall, same with the DNS. I can surf the net with this IP. I was expecting a 192.x.x.x Ip address for my LAN.

I am thinking of putting in a router in between the PLDT dsl modem and my PC so i can share my connection.

[ESPN2kLive20xx]

I'm not downloading anything when I get dced every 5 mins, Im just playing this new game freestyleonline, so I guess it is not the bandwidth cap. As for the plan 999 thing, not all plan 999 are expiriencing this. And if I was dced, I have to disable the lan and enable it again to recconect again. Yeah maybe it is the lan card but why does it always dc every 5 mins with games like dota and freestyleonline?? Napalitan narin po *** modem, and what is rewiring anyway?? does it have a fee?? Is it possible for a broken video card to cause this?? or a broken hard drive perhaps??

well before i switched to bayantel, nag pldt ako for more than 2 years. (this one's less than 2 months, maybe?)

actually as time went by... bumilis pa nga yung bandwidth ko eh.

i was downloading torrents for as fast as over 250kb over 3 files. (150 u/l i think) before i switched to bayantel. (bill was getting to 4500 a month, i was collecting reward points like water! lol). nung umalis ako i gotten 1,000 pesos free gift cert.

I'm subscribed to the same plan as he is and i leave my computer on for hours, sometimes even days. I download gigs and gigs of data without getting disconnected. I don't think that bandwidth cap off thing exists. There's just something wrong with his connection.

Good day. We were one of the earliest subscribers to Pldt Dsl. From then till now my dad actually pays pldt P3,000+++++ a month.

From the time it was connected to the present, we've had moments when the dsl was working properly but we were also experiencing times when the speed was slow, disconnections occuring more than usual or no connection at all.

By December 2005 everything was going somewhat well (at least we could connect to the internet). Now, we can't.

The original problem was invalid username and password, so they gave us a Generic temporary username and password (with which the connection only lasts 2 minutes then you have to manually reconnect).

We weren't happy so they gave us another account number and password to use while they were trying to figure out what the problem was. For the first time, in a very long time, with this alternate account username and password we were actually having trouble-free internet browsing.

After several days, the dsl helpdesk contacts us and tells us we can't use the alternate account username and password as it was not ours and had to go back to the original. They had us delete the old dsl "dialer" and make a new "dialer" for pldt dsl.

Several days later, we could no longer use the alternate username and password and use the original instead. Problem was, username and password were still invalid. We went back to using the Generic username and password which gets disconnected after 2 minutes.

Several days after, finally the username and password of our original account is no longer invalid, but the computer says connection to the internet was not possible because of a protocol problem in our PC.

Interestingly, the dsl helpdesk said that they cannot PING our modem, so no matter how many times I delete or make a new dialer nothing will happen ( After 20 days, now they tell me!!!!!!! :bop: )

They suggest having a techician come and examine our modem. They'll also try to change/re-install the tcp/ip thing which is needed to connect to the internet. They're also asking that we reformat our pc.

Here's what bothers me:

1. Our desktop is old, but we also use a brand new laptop. For both pc's the problems are similar (problem with protocol). Doesn't this mean that the problem is not with our pc's? I don't want to go to trouble of reformatting our computers just to find out that it won't solve the problem.

2. The comment regarding the DNS servers really intrigues me. One of the tech dsl people I spoke to mentioned that there really was a connection problem for our area ( which I took as meaning other subscribers were having a similar problem). If so, then shouldn't they get off they're behinds and actually examine their servers to see if there is a problem and not put the blame on us , the subscribers?

3. Our computer is located in the Malate area. I strongly suspect that if the computer was located in a more affluent area like Forbes or Ayala Alabang , connection problems such as ours would never happen.

I've always had this strong suspicion that they never really take us seriously and give us least priority since they feel we're neither rich or influential.

4. If it's PLDT dsl that has the problem and not us, and yet they insist that we're the ones with the problem then isn't they're insistence that we closely examine and re-examine our computers just a way to stall /buy time till they can actually look at their systems hardware and actually solve the problem?

At this point, I personally want our subscription discontinued. It's been nothing but a headache. We pay more than most subscribers and yet we're expected to settle with mediocre service and lackluster performance. :grrr:

What should we do? Help please. :depressed:

[Brianicus]

mga tol,

maganda ba ang performance ng PLDT myDSL sa Pasay Area?

[Les]

...What should we do? Help please. :depressed:

What else but change ISPs? ;)

I've been looking at this thread for quite some time and it's essentially a parade of complaints occasionally punctuated by some good comments. Nothing unusual... try checking out the site pinoydsl.net which has individual forums per ISP provider and you'll note the same thing. I've never used myDSL but it's pretty obvious that the service generally sucks. It might shine in some areas but that's hit-and-miss.

Doubtless PLDT is aware that its service sucks but I doubt improving their service is their main priority. Instead, they're apparently more concerned with increasing their user base over other competing broadband providers. Maybe 2 months ago or so, I read a newspaper article in which PLDT was proud about how their userbase had grown and their aim to be the #1 broadband provider. Apparently, they forgot that increasing the user base also means increasing capacity, not only for bandwith but also for tech support.

Personally I can't understand why PLDT cannot improve its service when a competing ISP can provide quality service. I'm using SkyDSL (i.e. Bayantel) and I have no complaints about it. From my experience:

Advantages:
1) Tech support
Easy to contact, helpful and quick to respond

2) Stability/Reliability
The connection is extremely stable, it can run for a day or two (or even more) without faltering. At the most, the connection stumbles a bit (DSL light flashing, no throughput) maybe once or twice a week, but that's it.

Also note that SkyDSL has a service guarantee:
Under the guarantee, BayanTel is committed to restore DSL broadband internet connection problems within 24 hours that the problem is reported. A rebate of P500 is offered for each line which connection problem is left unresolved for each day beyond 24 hours, until such time that the connection is restored. The maximum rebate amount will be equal to your monthly recurring charges and will be deducted from your bill.

If PLDT were to implement such a plan, doubtless they'd be flat broke in no time.

3) Speed
Of course stability is useless without speed, and in this regard you get what you pay for. I'm on a 384 kbps account and it actually gives a steady 384 kbps (that's around 47 kB/sec) or even a bit more. This contrasts sharply with PLDT's 384 kbps plan which is apparently only the maximum but not the actual speed you'll get.

4) Ease of use
Frankly I'm baffled with the username and password system of PLDT. SkyDSL does not need usernames nor passwords. You only need to configure the system once with the proper IP's and when you turn on the computer the DSL is ready to go.
5) No need to have a Bayantel line to use SkyDSL

Disadvantages
1) Coverage
Sky covers a more limited area than PLDT. In my area (Q.C.), there were only two slots remaining when we signed up.
2) Cost
I think Sky has slighly more expensive plans:
P899 - 256 kbps
P1,699 - 512 kbps
P 2,699 - 1.5 mbps
I did try to look up the myDSL rates but since PLDT hasn't even updated their site about their new residential plans, i didn't bother looking further.

All in all, my experience with the service is exactly what their TV ad advertised: "No frills, no nonsense, service guaranteed."

[tykemeister]

Thanks Les. We actually pay P3,000 +++ (nearly P4,000) a month for something that is nothing more than a headache.

I'll ask my dad if he'll consider changing isps.

[geekhead]

Just got connected to plan 999. Took only 4-5 working days to get connected. Downloads and bandwidth tests is at 260 - 290 kbps with downloads at around 35 KB/s on average. Quite satisfied by it. Hopefully the speed will be consistent even at nights. Anyone know if our area (Espana, Sampaloc) has any problems with speeds and disconnections?

Btw, do I have to connect everytime I start my PC? How about the modem? Should I turn it off when I shut down my PC? Any other tips for a first time DSL user?

Can access all sites except 1: boxtorrents.com
Can someone check if they can access it? If yes, what should I do so that I can access it?

"4) Ease of use

Bayantel uses static IP addresses kaya ganun. PLDT uses dynamic (your ip address changes everytime you login)


"Btw, do I have to connect everytime I start my PC? How about the modem? Should I turn it off when I shut down my PC? Any other tips for a first time DSL user?"

uh yes everytime you start up, you have to reconnect to pldt's network. turn off modem, to save electricity, yah.

a useful tip is if something happens minsan sa connection, a quick modem reset usually cures what ails you. (plug and unplug the power supply lang)

My Connection Speed is PATHETIC!!!!

I pay P1995/month for basically a year already. Found out in November 2005 that my speed reaches a max speed of 360kbps (seldom) only. Frquent speed is 116kbps.

Been complaining since November and still nothing was corrected. PATHETIC sila!!! Puro, we will get it done, we will follow up. But, puro verbal promises lang, wala sa gawa.

Pag napuno na ako, am gonna change my DSL

[Shoofa Fly]

I'm also using PLDT MyDSL Plan 1995. My speed has always been great - 600+ kbps. Dami ko nang na-download, as in super!

[phat_azz_TKD]

yung mga naka-plan 999, 384kbps ang speed dba? so dapat ang download speed, more than 40+KB/s? kasi ako i average 38KB/s lang e.. :(

[xel_7]

We're practically at the same boat. Though na-e-experience ko naman na minsan umabot ng 512 Mbps, frequent sya during the dead hours meaning madaling araw when Internet cafes are no longer operating. And yes, I am already about to finish my contract with PLDT next month and as early as now, am scouting for another dsl or better yet, a wi-fi provider. Everything with PLDT is bad. Siguro kasi masyado na sila maraming subscribers kaya ganun, when in fact, yung competitors nila naglalatag pa lang ng linya para ma-expand yung services nila. Madali kasi mag-apply sa PLDT.

Pag napuno na ako, am gonna change my DSL

I think that's the best way to do it. P1,995 is no easy money. I want better service for a hard-earned amount.

[sweetNsexy]

Btw, do I have to connect everytime I start my PC? If ur using the PLDT PL-DSL1 modem, autoconnect na yan..

How about the modem? Should I turn it off when I shut down my PC? Yes... ang ginawa ko, dun din sa avr naka-plug yung modem so pag turn-off ko ng PC, off na din modem..

regarding tips, just get a good anti-virus... coz i'm sure excited ka mag download ng stuff kasi mabilis sya compared sa dial-up..

my experience on pldt dsl... i'm on plan 999 din at never ko pa na-attain yung 384kbps, but i'm averaging 290-320kbps kahit anong oras.. my pc is running an average of 18hrs/day.. minsan pa walang patayan pag may DL.. there are a few times na DC ako but it took around 2-5 minutes tops.. swertihan lang din siguro sa connection... :)

[pcm]

meron bang nakasubscribe dito na taga merville pque na pldt dsl-w?
kasi sabi wala daw sa area ko na linya pang dsl..so wireless nalang daw ang ikakabit sa amin..

[knn]

Finally!!!

PLDT DSL guy came to fix my speed. ang bilis lang pala gawin, isang tawag lang na adjust na speed ko to plan 1995 speed. At ang dami pang excuses ang 172375.

We called direct to one of the managers (my hubby's long ago friend)...at hayun in two days' time, ayus na!!!!!

Tsktsktsk,its who u know talaga sa PLDT.

[tortillachip]

:( Get this. We applied for PLDT's 999 package a bit after Christmas last year, and we STILL don't have it. First, they said they'd run out of the copper (wire?) whatsit that they needed for installation. Fine. So we waited. When we checked up on them last week, they said there aren't any ports in our area (I live in QC, I swear to gosh there's an internet cafe on PLDTDSL nearby), so they can't connect here yet, unless we pay P1k more to be connected via a Smart line (or something like that, I forget what it was exactly). Mind you, they told us that AFTER they accepted our application and had kept us waiting for the installer dudes. @___@; Those jerks. To cut the long story short... we're looking around for other options.

[GreatBop]

well it's the same for bayantel din.. i think it took close to 3 monthc bago pumunta ang bayantel to install the dsl.

yung sa pldt, i remember took 1 week lang ata then, and may dsl line na ako.

[theboo24]

pldt mydsl su cks big time..bulok na kompanya.. nagsubscribe kami nung december pa hanggang ngayon wala pa!!!fck u!!! bilis kabit ba?? february na!!!!

[tortillachip]

Same here. :depressed:

[theboo24]

puro lang follow up!!! mahigit labing limang beses na kaming tumawag at pumunta sa office follow up pa rin!!!!! magsarado na kayo!!!

[danica]

sino pa nakakaencounter ng ganito?every other minute ata nadidisconnect eh and sobra bagal lang ng dsl... i don't know if yung router ko may sira or yun dsl mismo...

[KuyaDanny]

Bypass the router and connect directly. If you still get disconnected, it's the phone line. Before you conclude that the defect is on the provider side, check your house phone wiring. Might be old or corroded wires, bad jacks, or improperly attached extension phones.

[totoolangnaman]

Hello. :D

I'm no expert, but most probably it's your phone line (the physical cable).

Do you have a DSL Splitter? And if you do, do you have an extention that bypasses the DSL Splitter?

[baste]

di naman nangyayari sa amin eto.. minsan na didiscon pero sobrang rare.

whoa... wf??? wht's up with pldtdsl? i'm downloading at 180KBps and i'm on 999..

[trezz]

mahigit isang buwan na akong nagkakaproblema sa mydsl. and i dont know kung sa akin lang nangyayari ito. every first or second day of the week ganto nangyayari sa akin, pansin ko kasi decreased ng around 50% yung bandwidth na nakukuha ko. mydsl professional ang plan ko. so dapat ang 1.2mbps ang speed ko right? so tumawag ako sa 172, sabi ng agent ifo-forward daw nila sa field technical team nila. sabi ko di na kailangan yun kasi di naman bumabagsak ang bandwidth ko for example from 1mbps then biglang 600kbps. kasi nakafixed lang talaga ang bandwidth ko around 610kbps to 630kbps. so walang problema sa line ko.

then after 3 days, minsan friday na nila maibabalik yung bandwidth ko minsan pag sinuswerte kinabukasan pa lang ok na. subscriber na nila ako for around 4 years na kaya kabisado ko ang bandwidth ko. ugali ko rin kasi magcheck ng bandwidth sa pldtplay.com.

so heto, ok na ang bandwidth ko. then pagdating ng monday or tuesday. eto na, bumalik ang problema so tawag ulet ako. ganto nangyayari sa akin for 1 month. then last week, napansin ko wala na yung bandwidth test sa pldtplay.com. kahit sa pldtdsl.com wala rin. coincidence?

last week naramdaman ko biglaang taas ng bandwidth ko. saka ko lang nalaman na upgraded na pala yung bandwidth ko from 1.2mbps to 2mbps. wow, sarap lang. 1 week maganda bandwidth ko, pero then ngayon, monday, napansin ko ulet na limitado ulet ang bandwidth ko ng 1.2mbps. di naman ako maselan sa bandwidth. problema kasi, nagbabayad tayo for 2mbps pero bakit ganto ang nakukuha kong speed. ok lang kung may problema sa line, pero hindi eh. sila nagconfigure sa system nila na gantong bandwidth lang ang nakukuha natin.

ano to lokohan?

yung cousin ko, bagong subscriber ng mydsl. pinakamababang plan ang kinuha nila pero nagbayad DAW sila sa taong nag-install sa kanila ng dsl ng P2,000 para ang bandwidth na makuha nila ay katulad ng sa akin. unfair ata. kasi nagbabayad ako ng almost 4000 kasama na kasi yung rent sa phone every month then eto sya nagbabayad lang ng 999 na dapat 384kbps lang. so naisip ko, kaya siguro nababawasan yung bandwidth natin dahil din sa mga taong nasa loob mismo ng DATANET. dumadami subscribers ng mydsl, di naman lahat nagbabayad ng tama. tayong mga nagbabayad ng tama ang naaapektuhan. di talaga ako naniwala nung una hanggang nung pinakita nya sa akin. hindi ako against sa pinsan ko pero ilan kayang subscriber ang katulad nya di ba?

sa tingin nyo, ito rin kaya ang cause kung bakit nagkakandaloko-loko na itong bandwidth natin? sana makarating ito sa mga higher officers ng pldt.

[trezz]

someone i know na plan 999 sya sa pldt pero ang nakukuha nyang bandwidth isa 1.2mbps. sabi nya, nagbayad lang sya sa taong nag-install sa kanya ng dsl ng P2,000.

tsk tsk... kaya pala naloloko bandwidth natin kasi maraming loko loko sa pldt.

[ka_enteng]

alam mo tama ka, 3 yrs na akong my dsl na personal plan kaya kabisado ko na rin ang speed ng dsl ko... pero netong huling buwan, bumagal... parang kalahati na lang ang nasu-supply nilang speed sa akin... kung totoo man yang hinala mo, dapat malaman nila yan at mapa-imbestigahan sila.

[imlearning18]

1. how is the downloading? max download speed na-rereach nyo (Torrent)?
2. saan location nyo?
3. Madalas ba ang disconnection?

thanks in advance.

[trezz]

anyone na subscriber ng mydsl na nakakaexperience ng ganto? i think di lang tayong dalawa ang nagkakaproblema ng ganto sa pldt. di lang siguro sila nakakapagcheck ng bandwidth. lalo na ngayon, tinanggal nila yung speedtest. di naman kasi accurate ang metering sa international sites eh.

[trezz]

last week pansin ko yung speed ko sa azureus is 250KB/sec. which is 2mbps nga. kaso simula sunday nabalik na sa 1.2mbps. pero nung itinawag ko na sa CS nila, 2mbps na nga daw. so ewan ko lang kung kelan nila ibabalik sa 2mbps ang bandwidth ko. i'm from tondo area.

minsan lang ang disconnection.

[topnotch97]

eh ano pa kaya ngayong holy week. di ba?

[tunasashimi]

pldt bulok. :rotflmao:

[codylee23]

are you using mydsl residential plan or biz plan? i don't think the mydsl redistenial plan has cir. But also one problem with pldt i believe their are oversubscribing.

[pauster007]

ako plan 2500...3 years na din...kinukups ako ng pldt...minsan mas mabilis pa ang mga naka plan 999 kesa sa akin.

[prinsesa_ako]

ako 999 but everyday (it never fails) from 1-4 pm the internet doesnt work. hmm. wala na sila makuhang bandwidth so pinuputol nalang altogether :)

[phat_azz_TKD]

is it just me or mabagal ngayon ang mydsl? i couldn't download past 20KB/s... :( i'm on plan 999. las piñas area.

[codylee23]

the thing about dsl is there's lots of factors that can affect you speed and/or reliability. Asides from the usual physical cable quality, your pcs, lan card etc is your area. The distance between your place to the nearest dsl CO. The number of subscribers in your area, etc.

sa tingin ko wala sa pc ko yung problema, kahit sa line ko. makikita mo naman kung sa line ang problema. babagsak ang bandwidth mo. like from 1.2mbps, then 300kbps, then 650kbps. i know, limited lang ang bandwidth ko ng 630-640kbps. nagdownload ako ng 5 files simultaneously. add ko yung speed na nakukuha ko bawat file, then multiplied it to 8. around 630-640kbps lang talaga nakukuha ko. kaya tinatawag ko agad sa CS nila. then after ilang days, bumabalik na from 640kbps to 1.2mbps ang bandwidth ko. minsan check nyo bandwidth nyo sa www.globequest.com.ph.

yea tama ka jan. kailangan makarating to sa mga nakakataas sa PLDT. kasi yung pinsan ko, nagbayad lang sya sa nag-install sa kanila ng dsl. 2,500 talaga hinihingi nila pero natawaran ng 2K. 1.2mbps ang bandwidth nya. ako kasi ang nagcheck. di naman sa minamasama ko ang pinsan ko pero alam ko hindi lang sya ang nakakakuha ng ganong bandwidth. tayo naaapektuhan mga nagbabayad ng tama.

[sweetNsexy]

i'm also on plan 999.. consistent naman yung speed ko for 4 months (300-340kbps based sa pldt.play).. then this week bigla bumaba into 160-200kbps at di na din maka-check sa pldt.play..

[trezz]

you can check your bandwidth sa www.globequest.com.ph. sa tingin ko accurate naman ang metering nila dun.

[sweetNsexy]

you can check your bandwidth sa www.globequest.com.ph. sa tingin ko accurate naman ang metering nila dun.
thanks for the info..

GlobeQuest Bandwidth Meter
Your current bandwidth reading is: 228.37280 kbps
which means you can download at 28.55000 KB/sec. from our servers

medyo nag improve but still way below my usual speed...

[trezz]

call 172. sa akin kasi di pede yan. you pay for 384kbps and yet yan ang nakukuha mong bandwidth. matagal na akong subscriber ng pldt kaya alam ko kung anong dapat na bandwidth ang makukuha mo. kapag 384kbps ang package mo at least 320-370kbps ang makukuha mong result (anytime of the day) kapag nagtest ka.

try mong magsimultaneous download. download ka ng 4 or 5 files na sabay sabay then kunin mo yung total speed nila then multiply it by 8. yun ang speed mo in kbps. kung ano yung makukuha mong speed yun ang maximum bandwidth na binibigay nya sa iyo.

kapag di sya umabot kahit 340kbps, it means pareho tayo ng problema sa kanila.

[mister_foo]

curious lang ako..bakit x 8? Why is 8 a constant?

[J i g s]

1 byte = 8 bits

The dsl speed is in Bits and when you download it shows in Bytes.

[No. 3]

hayy ako rin eh. dati puro 36kb/s na tapos this week and last week, bumaba na ako sa 24kb/s... plan 999 malabon area

[phat_azz_TKD]

mukhang pldt ang may problema... kahit iba kong friends na naka-plan 999, bumaba din ang speed...

[spongeboob]

*** sakin din bumagal.. 22kbps nlng download ko.. 3weeks ago lang eh 35kbps pa un.. plan999 **..

stupid pldt...

looks like im not the only one having problems. Plan 999 din ako and ive been having alot of problems lately, slow tostart and disconnects every 5 minutes?

anyone know whats happening? mawawala rin ba to?

[LucKyStriKe]

sa'min naman di gumagana *** internet. hehe. may problem nga dsl nila. kala ko kami lang namomroblema eh. hehe.

[blindy]

naging 20 kbps na lang ang download ko, dati 30+ kbps... pldt... pldt...

[trezz]

check nyo bandwidth nyo lagi sa www.globequest.com.ph... sa tingin ko kasi minsan ginugulangan tayo ng pldt. sa dami ng mga bagong subscribers di na nila kayang ibigay yung mga bandwidth na dapat na makuha natin sa kanila. bukod pa sa mga dsl installers na nababayaran pa. pinsan ko kasi plan 999, pero 1.2mbps ang bandwidth nya kasi binayaran nya ng P2,000 yung nag-install ng dsl sa kanila. get this, dalawa yung username na binigay sa kaniya.

1. yung orig na account nya which is the 384kbps package
2. yung account na may 1.2mbps ang speed

tsk tsk.. pldt nga naman, kahit mismong mga tao nila mga magugulang

madaling araw na yan a... langya talaga ang PLDT, bulok! pwe!

[warp3d]

I've been getting 200-260KB/s for the past few weeks. It only goes down to 180KB/s during peak times. :)

me too! i'm on 999 and last week for five days straight my dl rate was at 190 to 200KBps tapos last monday it went down to the "normal" 45 to 47KBps.. never told pldt syempre.haha

[demented_guy]

Sa inyo ata napupunta yung bandwidth namin! :(

[trezz]

Ilan ba dapat ang upload speed ng professional plan?

i called 172. sabi ng CS before ang mydsl professional 512kbps yung upstream speed nya. then ngayong nag-upgrade na sila 768kbps na. pero di ko pa nararamdaman yung 768kbps. parang 512kbps pa rin. pero yung downstream ko 2mbps na.

anyway, sino nakakaexperience ng slowdown ngayon. actually kanina pa ito mga 8pm. meron daw silang network trouble.

[tqbfjotld]

**** 375kbps lang nakukuha ko sa bandwidthplace (www.bandwidthplace.com)

plan 2000 ako. dapat 768 to!! grrr pldt

[francisj]

Where can i get the bug patch for PLDT DsL? I cannot access my friendster...thanks

[digitalrock]

256.5 kilobits per second

palasak na talaga ang pldt mydsl, sayang ang 3k ko monthly :grrr:

[trezz]

anyone experiencing slowdown since wednesday nigweek. sabi ng helpdesk meron daw network trouble. nationwide daw ang affected nito. pero yung sa cousin ko di naman.

anyone?

[Jeck]

Is it really true as claimed that they are really doing maintainance work on the IPLs since April 17 which probably may last til May 1 and which is affecting all areas? I am having very slow browsing and download speeds 24/7 these days but only start to really notice that it is on their side when try to benchmark and download something. The speed is so frustrating slow and am now only getting 30% of my usual speed.

[altec chancing]

PLDT will be upgrading my line at 2Mbps. 1 year FREE!! Yahooo.....

[No. 3]

3 weeks na din reduced speed ang nakukuha ko. i called up their hotline kanina and was told that they are doing preventive maintenance. we should get normal speed daw come May 1. ..sana.

[Jeck]

Will give them a benefit of a doubt. I'm getting only around 100 Kbps at Visualware nowadays despite 768 Kbps the rated speed. They already past the April 27 deadline and nothing happened. http://www.pinoydsl.net/viewtopic.php?t=1576 Perhaps it will be time to switch again.

[baste]

PLDT will be upgrading my line at 2Mbps. 1 year FREE!! Yahooo.....

wow... bakit? may promo ba sila?

[yorimoto]

Baka naka-PLDT NXGN si altec chancing???

[Tharaki]

wow... bakit? may promo ba sila?

plan personal ako at sabi dahil isa ako sa mga top subcribers, may tumawag sa akin kung gusto kong i-upgrade sa professional, yun na nga up to 2mbps, kinuha lang nila ang ID number ko, at sabi after 2 weeks up to 2mbps na daw ang net ko, pero saka lang ako magdagdag ng bayad AFTER ONE YEAR. so bale one year FREE nga daw.

megit ng one month yun, at eto so far naging 350kbps ang speed ng dsl ko.

linsyak nabawasan pa ang dati kong 768kbps, nasan na yung up to 2mbps na pangako?

:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

Ganun ba? As for me, constant naman ang speed ko. So far, I encountered only minor problems such us getting 0KBS for a few seconds to a few minutes, then up again at full speed. There are some occassions that I get around 280-320 Kilobytes per second, but for a few days lang. That's about over 2Mbps.

Anyway, I'll post the speed test here on May 9. Otherwise, I'll cancel this free offer asap, lest I forget after 1 year and they will automatically bill me for an additional P500/month.

[spursdynasty]

If you are a PLDT DSL subscriber, chances are your DSL speed is cut into 50%more or less slower.
This started. during the holyweek and PLDT never posted any kind of advisory except if you call thier customer service lines which will usually take 1 hour in waiting time.

Whats been happening?

1 People with 999 plans u are suppose to be getting 384kbps speed is getting speeds 100-200kbps only.

2 Other plans are getting the same problem

3 Internet Cafe owners are having problems with speed and intermittent connection causing their business and income to suffer severely.

PLDTS Solution?

Their tech support said problem will be fixed on April 28, nothing happend then they said maintenance is extended to may 1, still notihing happened. Whats next?


Why didnt they posted any advisory?

So youll never know you are paying a thousand pesos or more for half the speed you are paying for! So that you wont call them and email them to ask for rebates or refunds.

They promised you a certain speed when u signed with them and now theyre not living to their promises without telling you and w/o any itention of telling you.

What can you do?

A) Mail and call their billing department and ask for rebates

B) Copy and paste this post and mass mail it to everyone you know who has PLDT or everyone u care about.

C) spread the word of mouth about the beautiful service

Dont believe me?

Go ahead and do Internet speed testing on these sites:

Im sick of bad customer service
Im sick of Intermittent connections from cafes i play on
Im sick PLDTs service

ah kaya pala... tsk tsk tsk

[X--Jason--X]

Ganyan talaga pag merong monopoly. Dapat mag-rally tayo tungkol diyan.

[spursdynasty]

rally ba? Online Rally na lang. Kalat nyo sa mga email and chatrooms.

Actually ndi na monopoly ngayon ang PLDT tlgang false promises lang at deception of service.

kung monopoly rin lang check this out:

Sky ZPDEE cable - 999 plan at 384kbps - True consistent speed, reliable connections and within 24 hours someone will repair your connection if u requested for it.

Destiny cable - New plan - 999 at 512KBPS - Reliable and stable connection - Speed sometimes reaches 700kbps to 1mpbs if only few people is using the line.

SkyDSL - for every 24 hour u lose ur connection they will give u a 500 rebate on ur bill. speed becomes double every off-peak hours 10pm till morning.



and PLDT

- Repair request can reach from 5 days to 1 week to 2 weeks to 1 month
- Customer service hotline waiting time ranges from 30 mins to 2 hours.
- Speed is always slow and sometimes just exactly the paid plan but never ever reaches any speed greater than your plan.
- Intermittent Connections

[PhotoJoe]

just so you'd know, you would NEVER get the same speed as stated by an ISP. 384kbps is simply the maximum possible speed (provided all variables such as phone line quality, interference, your pc's computing power, etc. are favorable) and it does not at all mean you'll be surfing the net and downloading mp3s at 384kbps.

like me for example, i've an 8Mbps cable connection but the fastest speed i've ever gotten was only about 7.3Mbps. that's simply because not all conditions are favorable (and never will be) to attain max speed.

also, don't let those speed test sites fool you. like speakeasy for example, their servers are US based and are meant for testing the speed of computers which are close to their locations. so of course you'll get a much lower result if you're located in the philippines.

i don't think there is one website that can give you a real accurate measurement of just how fast you are downloading.

bottom line is, simply have your service terminated if you are so unhappy with it. otherwise, just shut up and be happy you're not on dial-up! :lol:

[schumi]

what do you mean? lol

i get 1.1 mbps for my 768 plan ehehe :D

[Jeck]

PLDT SUCKS! Consumer class action suit to punish those cheating **$****$! According to DSLReports they are ranked #6 FROM THE LAST among ISPs around the world tested by subscribers based on speed. No doubt nowadays they are at the most bottom! DAMN THOSE BIG MOUTH 1-2 YEAR CONTRACT!

[spursdynasty]

LOL Looks like someone here works for PLDT... hahahaha

1. Yeah im getting it terminated for sure ASAP. Its just that im giving the advisory that people deserve which PLDT doesnt give and doesnt intend to.

2. I know it couldnt be exactly 384kbps if thats ur plan dumbass who said it should exactly be at 384kbps. BUT if you 384kbps plan is averaging at 100-200kbps which is less than 70% or if you are not getting 70% of your 384kbps plan that is a direct sign for slow browse for any DSL service provider.

3. PLDT Techs themselves admitted of the slowdown so wag ka na mas marunong sa mismong umamin ng kasalanan nila.

4. If you are the typical person who can be happy with a bad service if that happens to you then better start you own thread entitled "I would tolerate bad service if it happens to me coz im a dumbass"

This thread is for people whos ON PLDT DSL experiencing slow connection and bad service as the topic states!! OK?

Now if your on PLDT and your happy with their F*ck*d up service better start your own thread coz this aint for people like you.

[spursdynasty]

what do you mean? lol

i get 1.1 mbps for my 768 plan ehehe :D


i forgot to mention that some people actually had their speed doubled while majority of users suffered from slowdowns.

to read more of users experiences go to www.dslpinoy.net go to PLDT forum section.

lucky you..

[warp3d]

what do you mean? lol

i get 1.1 mbps for my 768 plan ehehe :D

exactly. i'm on 999 and i test my bandwidth everyday. my connection is on the 390 to 400 kbps range. no complaints here.. have you checked your lines for signal noise?? did they install a different line for your dsl? i did have problems during the first month, pero nung nag install sila ng separate line for my dsl ok na, problem solved.. i even experienced an eyepopping download rate of 190KBps for 8 days during the holy week. 4 hours lang for a 4gb file..hahaha

no problem with my line, completely stable connection. Just getting slowdowned speed.

As i mentioned with the above posts. everything is screwed up right now. Some users were reportedly getting double thier speeds while majority lost 50% of thier speeds. Big Networks like internet cafes suffered huge slowdowns while some cafes had consistent intermittent connection for 1 month and counting now.

Most new subsicribers on new lines are not usually affected. to read more about the said slow down read the other PLDT DSL thread here in Pinoyexchange and www.pinoydsl.net pldt section and ull see what i mean.

[numetal]

good thing i'm a SkyDSL user ..... no problem at all! :D

[n3k0]

@spursdynasty
the plan 999 of myDestiny is only a promo .. Barkada Promo, that is .. ;) i'm a myDestiny subcriber and i was able to avail that plan .. so far, i'm satisfied with the speed that i'm getting .. ehehe .. 1mpbs sana .. hehehe

[luiserapio]

used to be a PLDT DSL subscriber...kaso nanakaw yung main phoneline namen and it took them 2 wks to repair it! napilitan tuloy ako magsubscribe sa SkyDSL..asus! grabe walang sinabi ang service ng PLDT panalo ang SkyDSl ang bilis talaga...blessing in disguise yung nangyari no regrets here...and i agree with spursdynasty..... PLDT DSL sucks!!!!!!!

Hay....sadly to say that most of this providers provide services to limited areas in the Metro.... :depressed: I really wanted to subscribe at destiny for the longest time.... now Im stuck with this Smart Wifi Cr@p service. :bop:

OMG! Smart Wi-fi is Synonimous with PLDS DSL im not sure pero un Smart kasi partnered with PLDT so dun sya naka hookup the only difference is that SMART's Tech customer support and billing service is a tad better than PLDT but the speed and stability of connection is more or less the same.

WAAAAA ako naman dati DESTINY Cable tapos nag switch sa DSL kasi hindi agad nag baba ng price ang DESTINY. Before 1699php pa un plan nila so nag swtich ako sa PLDT knowing na DSL should be better than cable un pala walang DSL DSL pag PLDT ang nag mamanage hahaahh!! Im switching back to Destiny or ZPDEE.

[coydeleon]

Anyone tried playing NWN onlie via PLDT's DSL? Never had problems with Destiny Cable before, but ever since I switched I can't seem to connect at all

[Shoofa Fly]

So based sa feedback ng mga nagpo-post dito, kanya-kanyang malas lang talaga yan. May malas sa PLDT, meron namang hindi.

If you are fed with it, then cut your service and change to a new DSL provider. Pero kung naiinis ka pa rin, ibig sabihin type mo talaga ang PLDT. :D

I've tried 3 tests above, so far ok naman ah.

Actually there was an incident that the speed falls way way below as subscribed. It took PLDT 2 months to take action on my case. They told me that they are currently upgrading the data center, so my line got affected as well. They repaired it on the spot, and got my speed back within the day. After that, I've been getting speed as to what I have posted above. There are also times I experience no DSL service at all. I called up and they say they are currently troubleshooting the problem and I'm not the only one affected as the whole of the Philippines is affected. They got it back within the day.
