Yup, it never should be advertised in the first place. Connection may get intermittently slow (to no connection at all although very rarely does this happen).

Ok lang sana kung "may get slow", ang problema "slow all the time", kasi di pa nila ina-upgrade yung connection ko, 512 kbps pa din. Sana di na muna sila nag-upgrade uli, instead inasikaso muna nila yung mga dating subscribers na napag-iiwanan na.

[lalaki ni hudas]

^^ hmmm... hard to swallow but i also noticed that my connection got quicker at plan 999.. @ least di na masyado disconnected than before :lol:

[Ta-tanga-tanga]

hindi nag flu-fluctuate yan...mali lang talaga ang speed na binibigay sa mga subs

ako i'm one of the unlucky ones. 1995 plan but ONLY f@cking 512kbps... kesyo di pa daw open sa lahat.. so dadpat hindi nila advertise yun..


there is something wrong with plan 1995 accounts. its not something on the hardware side. a lot or plan 1995 subs have their speeds capped at only 512kbps. if you check ppc and tpc, theres also a bunch of 1995 subs reporting that theyre also capped. this is never coincidental. pldt is deliberately limiting our speeds!

afaik, they assign ip ranges for different plans. theyre not switching our ips to the correct range. i have already reported this issue a couple of times and nothing happened. maybe its time for us to file a "mass" complaint to NTC. we can send an email to NTC (better if we do it all at the same time) so they realized that its a big issue. this is a complete rip-off!

[Agapito]

Yes, I agree that this is more like FALSE ADVERTISING. That's what you get when the service is monopolized by a big player, and all the other alternatives are much worse in terms of customer service.

Please note that DSL speed is not only dependent on subscription but also on infrastructure and geography.

For instance, if you're house is more than 12,000 ft from a central office (loop or cable length), the chances of you getting anything over 3mbps is close to nil.

Yes I'm fully aware of that, as you go farther from the CO the slower your connection. But the problem is this, if they do an upgrade, all of us should be able to notice it. Ok yung mga malalapit sa CO may achive yung 100% speed upgrade, pero dapat yung mga malalayo, kahit 10-50% man lang mag-iincrease din di ba. Sa kaso ng mga 1995 plans, ni 1% increase wala. I know my subscription speed never changed since I got connected.

[tien_xavi]

kung 5Mbps na yung excel dapat ramdam ko na yun. kasi simula nung 256kbps pa yung speed ko nararamdaman ko talaga pag naguupgrade sila eh. before nagrreach ng 500-600kbps yung download rate ko, tapos ngayon super bagal. parang need ko yata tumawag ah. di pinupulot ang 3k ah.

[tien_xavi]

ok tnry ko magdownload sa www.roseonline.ph nung main client, before nasa 500-600kbps ang download rate ko dito ngayon naging stable sya sa 800kbps. siguro nga depende rin sa pinagkukunan at kung ilang hops pero sana lang yung average download rate ko nasa 400kbps man lang.

[ajoyride]

do you use the 5mbps for personal use or shop?wow kung personal use,hehe!

[baste]

kung personal man or for shop.. its what subscribers paid for its what they should get.. pero kung pldt pinaguusapan... gudluck na lang

[tien_xavi]

personal use po.

[redshirt23]

pano po *** akin?, pldt mydsl999?

[baste]

ganyan din plan ko.. 512 pa din.. and although pag tumawag panay plan na may increase.. pero wala.. binabaon na lang salimot yung mga lumang subscriber

I think alam na ng lahat yan. The issue here is that PLDT keeps advertising bandwidth speed increases that never really happens. They are doing false advertising just to prevent customers from leaving.

[rychu]

Oo nga. Ako rin! I am stuck at 512 kbps and it's sad dahil dapat I'm reaching 1.2Mbps na. =(

Dapat awayin talaga si PLDT siguro. Nakakainis lang dahil sila lang yung provider sa area namin so no choice but to stick it out with them talaga. :(

[baste]

i'm thinking since i'm getting only 512mbs edi pababaan ko na lang yung plan namin to 999 which is also 512mbps.. so nakatipid na lang na 1000 since mukhang wala namang way tumaas ang speed

[paCUTEako]

errrrrr ako rin 512 lang..... bakit ganun? dapat pala 5mbps na. kainis ah.... paputol kaya natin then pakabit uli? watchatink?

[zordon]

Well. Considering that in places like Singapore they advertise 30 Mbps on paper as well, it's about time. :P

[trezz]

pero di ba tama lang na dapat ibigay nila yung tamang speed sa mga subscribers na nagbabayad naman talaga ng tama. kung di nila maibigay ang advertised speed nila in certain areas bakit di nila bawasan yung monthly fee dun sa area na yun di ba?

opinyon ko lang po. :)

[trezz]

wow 5mbps na pala yung excel/pro? pero bakit nakastuck pa rin ako ng 1.85mbps?

kalokohan!

[trezz]

kung 5Mbps na yung excel dapat ramdam ko na yun. kasi simula nung 256kbps pa yung speed ko nararamdaman ko talaga pag naguupgrade sila eh. before nagrreach ng 500-600kbps yung download rate ko, tapos ngayon super bagal. parang need ko yata tumawag ah. di pinupulot ang 3k ah.

mukhang magkabatch tayo sa mydsl ah. 256kbps palang nun nung naging subscriber ako ng mydsl. you're right, before pag nag-increase ng speed damang-dama mo eh. pero ngayon hindi na. for example sa akin, before 2mbps yung plan 3000 1.7 - 1.9mbps ang nakukuha kong speed pero nung nag-upgrade sila to 2.2mbps, bumaba yung speed ko? 1.8mbps!?!?! hahaha pano nangyari yun.

dapat nga tayong mga matatagal na subscriber ang inaalagaan nila. 3k/month? lugi naman tayo nun. tsk tsk tsk

[ftwcp955]

Bakit ba ang mahal sa pilipinas I'm using 100mbps here and costing me about 1500PHP, pag ipapalit sa peso ano ba nag factor bakit mahal sila, at hindi nila akayang gayahin ang ibang bansa. Pasensya na walang lang alam at gustong maliwanagan.

[Citizen Erased]

Bakit ba ang mahal sa pilipinas I'm using 100mbps

Sigurado ka ba? Yan ba yung speed na nakalagay sa status ng internet connection mo? Ganyan din kasi yung nakalagay sa akin, pero 512kbps lang naman ata yung binili naming connection, at mabagal pa rin mag-load ang mga bagay-bagay.

[commoner]

mahal talaga ang broadband dito pero impossible na 150MBPS ang connection mo. more or less it would probably be around 3-5mbps.

[pepperprone]

this my internet connection speed. i'm the plan 1995 of pldt dsl din. at suki ako sa complaint desk ng pldt!!!
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j233/pepperprone/speed.gif

[DaVinciCode]

Mahal ang broadband sa Pilipinas dahil walang reliable competition.

Tingnan nyo yung Intel versus AMD. Dahil matindi ang competition, pababaan ng presyo. Panalo ang customer. Kung Intel lang ang nasa market ngayon, baka can't afford kang bumili ng Core Duo dahil sobrang mahal.

Ang style naman ng PLDT, hindi nila binababa ang presyo, tinataasan nila ang bandwidth - kahit hindi naman totoo.

[baste]

tinataaasan yung offer nila pero di naman inaadjust ng tama para sa mga existing subscribers.. is there anyone we can mail for our complaints?

[commoner]

ahaha done that.... sakit lang ng ulo ang ibibigay ng mga yan

[ftwcp955]

mahal talaga ang broadband dito pero impossible na 150MBPS ang connection mo. more or less it would probably be around 3-5mbps.

First I didn't say 150mbps, 100mbps instead, the provider here don't lie, my speed test max. na mabawasan sya ng about 6% sa kanyang target speed, may tsansa pang sumosobra, and it it not impossible to attain this speed they are offering now a 200mbps connection, one more thing myhost country will going to change/changed thier broadcasting system TV, Radio ect to digital and all are hi-visioned, we can watch TV here through net Hi-vision without anylink to antenna, imagine this speed and it is impossible to attain if you've got 50mbps and lower connection, anyway depende pa rin sa site na pupuntahan mo. anyway all the local sites here can provide you GB/ sec. and not Mb/sec. if you have the right connection.

[baste]

PLDT can't be trusted to provide its subscribers the correct speed based on their plans

[baste]

kelan kaya nila mabibigay yung tamang speed na "pinapangako" nila

[layer]

my only problem with pldt is i don't get the advertised 512 kbps with plan999. my speed is consistent though with 384kbps. wala namang downtimes na nangyari, and 1 year na akong subscribed. sa pilipinas wala naman talagang "good on-line technical support" - pare-parehas lang naman lahat yan e.

[baste]

ibig sabhin mali ang pinagsasabi nila!!!!

[baste]

any new?

may bagong "PLAN" nanaman ba ang pldt? hehehe

[Mikoid]

Only half of websites load. We can browse PEx, Slashdot, Digg, among others without any problems. However, the following won't work:

google.com
yahoo.com
friendster.com
multiply.com

Yahoo Messenger
MSN Messenger

For the sites, you can't even ping them. It's a very strange problem. Has anyone experienced this?

[aze24]

^^^
Na experience din namin yan dito sa office.

[p3apod]

grabe ang bagal...anong dsl ba na okay? i want to switch!!!

[rychu]

nakakainis!!! sana maayos na ni PLDT ang connection nila. SOBRANG BAGAL and SOBRANG HIRAP KOMONEK!

[air_presto2]

guys nagupgrade kasi ko from MyDSL Personal to MyDSL Professional, 1 week na ganun pa din ang speed ko. Sobrang bagal kasi ng Personal, 128kbps lang nakukuha ko, eh *** Professional 2.2mbps *** nakalagay na speed (sana makuha ko yung speed na un). 2,500 *** Personal *** Prof 3,000.

Kaya lang ang tagal ko makuha nung upgrade sabi within 48 hours lang daw. eh 1 week ago na nung ngrequest ako. Saka ano speed nakukuha nung mga naka MyDSL Personal dito sa Pex? Nung nagpa-upgrade ba kayo matagal din?

[doc_dory]

pangit ang service. yun lang

[ExtremeRide69]

ang bagal pa rin! kelan b toh maayos... puro sila pangako!!!

[sunset4886]

nanggaling na rin kami sa pldt at di maganda ang service nila. kung balak niyo magpakabit ng dsl, huwag pldt ang piliin niyo...

[glgh]

stir yang 100mbps. bago pa nga lang na ddevelop yun ngayong 2007 eh

[baste]

well all i can say pldt is consistent.... pangit ang service together with pangit ang customer service... san ka pa

[cairo]

minsan nawawalan ng connnection... like kaninang umaga wala. pero i didn't bother calling them up to ask why. nakakairita lang kasi yung mga CSRs kausap... paligoy-ligoy! pag walang internet, i do something else na lang or if i need to use the net, i go to a net cafe near our house.

[baste]

yeah.. i can relate to what you said... parang sobrang hassle pa lalo if tumawag pa... pero unfair naman yun, you have to pay for your net connection via net shop wherein nagbabayad ka na to have the service in your house.....

[Jeck]

Is this just me?

Everyday pass 9am morning video and audio streams such as from www.cnn.com will start to become very choppy. In yahoo.com and shoutcast.com i cannot even stream something higher than 100 kbps smoothly despite rated bandwidth of 1.5 mbps. In bandwidth test like http://myspeed.visualware.com/?c=_di especially at night I get only around 120 kbps and in torrent sites downloading speed generally is only around 20 kB/s whereas peers from abroad generally can download at 30-50 times faster than that. Worst of all their very unprofessional and without courtesy CSRs pretended to make report and forward your complaints and promise feedbacks within 24-48 hrs but twice got dupe by these so called promises. I am really so angry now with this despicable company PLDT for ruining my day.
Imagine how much information are lost because you cannot watch nor hear video and audio feeds. In www.cnn.com many of these news feeds are only in video streams. How can I watch with this damn DSL thing of PLDT despite paying a world premium price of P1,995 + telephone monthly?

[jobls_prsn]

May ad kahapon (29 April) sa newspaper na you can get a free wifi account sa plan 999 ~ up. I inquired sa 171, sabi nung unang operator, free na daw forever yung wifi account from plan 999-up.

Nag-attempt ako mag-register sa My Pad pero tinanong ako if I was okay with paying P99 per month. So, nagtanong ako ulit sa 171 and sabi naman ng second operator, for new subscriptions lang daw.

Meron na bang nakapag-try nito na DSL plan 999?

[sadirmata]

saang hotspots manggagaling yung free wifi connection?

[b♥♥m]

^airborne access

http://pathfinder.airborneaccess.net/pathfinder/finder.php

[frenzyroad]

first, nasa office ka, are they using proxy? they might have block them? its nonsense kasi pati google niblock, so baka hindi problem ng proxy.

second, I think is it problem ng browser?
third, firewall?

Because for me the logic is like this:
If you can internet, oh well thats good, though complicated pag nasa office ka if the computer guy sets some probihited site on your office internet.

ELSE
di ata problem ng DSL pag ganun ata..

THEN
problem siguro yan ng computer browser settings mo.

I have encounter a client na di siya maka enter na HTTPS sites, kahit msn, then you have to type something sa RUN, parairelease yung DLL. then it works na, have a try.

if blinock talaga ng office niyo yung mga site na yan, its reasonable, one thing unreasonable yung google cause most of the data na sinesearch ng mga tao sa google..

[jadetiger]

Is it just me or is the connection slow and keeps on disconnecting? :(

[cinnamon_thyme]

it's rather slow... i'm subscribed with the 1995 plan but i'm thinking of downgrading since i'm not getting the speed im supposed to get.. well .. that's pldt... :-<

[Jeck]

me too plan 1995. very slow from morning until wee hours. Speeds only slightly faster than dial-ups without download manager.

[mikko5829]

PLDT is PLDT. Di talaga reliable ang serbisyong PLDT. Wag nyo nang asahan yan. ;D (http://crazydrunkguy.blogspot.com/)

[Ada]

Puro "Page Cannot Be Displayed". Napupudpod na daliri ko sa kaka-refresh.

[b♥♥m]

huhu i always get disconnected these past few days. and then mag bliblink lang yung DSL light. Mag steady lang sya when i disconnect and reconnect the telephone cord from the DSL modem. so weird :(

Tried posting in 4chan and got this error

"Posting from your ISP has been blocked due to abuse."

Anyone experienced this yet?

[kathgurl624]

Bakit ganun yung dsl namin ngayon?
tuwing may tumatawag or may gumagamit ng phone
biglang nawawala yung connection
kahapon ko pa napapansin

[dAyDeTTe]

need some opinions:

been pldt mydsl personal subscriber since 2000. been thinking of switching broadband connection and/or downgrading plans. as of today our speed is 1.90 mb/s (download) and 0.54 mb/s (upload). actually im quite satisfied with the speed since its installment but i find it too much expensive now (P2200 for dsl + P700 for landline). another thing is we want to get rid of our exisiting pldt landline which is rarely used.

what would we rather do:
- downgrade our existing plan (which btw doesnt exist anymore) to either experience 999 or excite 1995 but im in doubt with the speed difference. most of the pldt technicians ive talked to said that our plan is much, much better compare to the newer plans they have.

- switch to either globe broadband or sky broadband but a skycable technician who recently installed our digibox advised me not to avail of this coz its very slow.

hope anyone here could help me decide on this.

thanks.

[AEROBLAZE]

tanong ko lang po kung okey lang tong download speed ng internet ko...

plan 1299 gamit ko (unlimited dsl + landline)

see links below

http://www.myworldmydsl.com/mydsl.aspx

ang download rate ko is 117kbps (max)

nagbabalak ako mag convert into plan 999 "1mbps" *** dsl lang..

kasi d ko lang rin naman nagagamit *** landline phone ko..

tnx sa magrreply...

im from ilocos sur

[coffee crumble]

help naman po..

pano pag nagpa-install kami ng plan 990 (yung bundle) tapos nabagalan kami, pwede ba kami magpa-upgrade sa plan 1299 kahit hindi pa tapos yung lock-in period? o pwede lang magpa-upgrade pagkatapos nun?

thanks sa sasagot :D

Yup, the technician got it right on the money. I guess even their own people know about how slow Sky Broadband is, but still they do nothing. Stay away from Sky Broadband at all cost, unless you will get it for free, if you don't want to take the cost of just getting extremely slow internet.

Wala kwenta PLDT myDSL, 1month nang hindi ako makaconnect sa net, mas masahol pa sa globe tatoo!

Wala kwenta PLDT myDSL, 1month nang hindi ako makaconnect sa net, mas masahol pa sa globe tatoo!

I had the same problem before. It was eventually traced to some faulty equipment in our building.

Document everything, the dates you can't connect, how many calls you make to their support and the people who come to inspect your line. Write a letter and DEMAND a refund.

It will take 6 months, but you'll get your refund.

[jotorr]

The PLDT watchpad is such a cool software :)

[Rammstein]

sa akin pag nagkakaroon ng problema, everytime na tumatawag ako sa csr, laging akong humuhingi ng refund, ayun, on the spot sya nagcocompute kung magkano na lang babayarin namin sa bill.

The PLDT watchpad is such a cool software :)

We know you and the rest of your PLDT DSL marketing team joined PEx just to tell us that.

[Rocker09]

Ok so I called the pldt hotline to upgrade our DSL plan to 2 MBPS(1,995 pesos).....After waiting for about 30 minutes for someone to pick up, we were told that it would take 24 to 48 hours before the whole upgrade takes effect......My question is, is the 24 to 48 hours that they promised us a sure thing or is there a possibility that it would take days or maybe even weeks?

[vproject]

Days or weeks... :D

[vproject]

In another note, nag-apply kami sa Plan 990+landline sa PLDT mga 2 months back. Ngayon, me tumawag sa bahay na pwede na raw kunin sa PLDT office yung modem namin (Quick Install Kit?). Ganon ba talaga sa Plan 990 na quick install kit yung ibibigay?

[sarapngpinay]

I've just downloaded a torrent from The Pirate Bay -- no problems for me.

No problem with me too. nakababad nga ako for HD-MKV movies, medyo matagal lang. Tiis lang mababa plan ko eh hehehe.
