My REVIEW Best/Worse Internet: Pldt,Smart,ZPDEE,Destiny,Globe

[TIRAMISU0319]

sim a smartbro subscriber since december last year... no choice its the only provider in our area...

nightmare!

i also had lots of no/limited/erratic connections... it started in january til march... then i applied for rebate and guess what... they just considered 2 days rebate insted of an entire month!!! grabe sa sobrang asar ko pinareevaluate ko nga... still waiting for their response...

then last month when it started raining hard we lost the connection again... grrr...

then just this week...

sobrang asar na asar na ko... lagi na nga ako nagrereklamo at nagtataray sa mga csrs na sobrang bobobo... kainis talaga! i even ask them kung nagtraining ba sila kasi napaka walng kwenta nila...

its weird when they first answer your call they will just say their name and that's it... wlang opening spiel like "may i have your name ma'am" or "how may i help you?" para kong ***** n naghihintay ng opening spiel

oh wait... nagtatagalog nga pala sila...

[skire20]

globe speak and surf ako(CDMA).. 6 months na yung subscription ko..
maganda nung umpisa kaso simula nung june 20 which is when I filed a complaint na mabagal yung internet ko to no internet connection until now.. may problema pa rin daw.. yung cell site daw na kinukuhanan nung modem ko na nasa constancia(taga-sampaloc kasi ako), may problema daw na until this day, ginagawa pa daw.. nakailang tawag din ako sa tech nila pero walang pinagbago.. kailangan ko pang kausapin yung supervisor nila para maupdate ako kaso wala ring nangyari.. di pa daw kasi alam kung kelan matatapos yung restoration nung constancia site so binigyan nya lang ako ng 2 options: una, kung makakapaghintay ako, tiis-tiis daw muna at yung ikawala, iterminate ko na daw yung account ko.. kumusta naman yun..

[sweet_ryan]

how about eastern DSL? medyo konti lang yata merong residential nito since mostly corporate accounts sila...512 kbps plus phone lines (inlimited local calls) for 1190...installation fee is 500php...mukang okay na...

okay a easter dsl?

[sweet_ryan]

how about eastern telecom DSL? medyo konti lang yata merong residential subscription nito since mostly corporate accounts sila...512 kbps plus phone line (unlimited local calls) for 1190...installation fee is 500php...mukang okay na...

okay ba eastern dsl?

[b.tch]

hmm... sounds promising. Thanks for posting!

Would love to give this a try habang hindi pa nakakabitan ng SkyDSL yung compy ko. [What takes them too long to install that damn thing?]

I'd love to read comments as well. :)

[KuyaDanny]

If the residential service is anything like their business service, then it is more than OK. The downtime is very low (mostly affecting their email service), and the customer service response time is very quick.

I would love to have Eastern DSL in my house, but they don't serve my area, so I'm stuck with PLDT.

[sweet_ryan]

the customer rep of easter telecom dsl said that residential and business service is almost of the same quality since residential service uses the same fiber optic lines (to that effect) as their business services

thank god eastern dsl is available in my place

[goldengriffin]

What is the website of Eastern DSL? Thanks.

[alaina_05]

Eastern Telecom website (http://www.easterntelecom.com.ph/Products/index.asp?ID=9&MCID=3)

[BabyShane]

Nag inquire na rin ako sa Eastern Telecom. :) I will get their feedback by Monday kung may service sila sa area namin. Sana nga meron. Hehehe!

[sweet_ryan]

i already applied sa eastern and i expect my dsl to be installed in a week's time. 1295 php for 768 kbps inclusing phone bill (local calls)...not bad!

[akosikat]

For those who are asking about Globe Broadband, check this (http://www.globelines.com.ph/NewsArticle.php?id=32) out :)

Meron na silang wireless [data only] w/o the p2,500 installation fee

[clace]

ok naman connection ng globe. problema ko lang hindi coordinated ang billing department nila sa mga agents na nag ooffer ng mga promos.

what happened to me was, i was given a 1 month free when i subscribed last july 18. then nagbayad ako ng reservation(or advance) worth P500 which will be deducted on the second month of billing. so i'm expecting to receive a bill of P495 (aug-sept) for my first bill.

my first bill came. a whopping P1,500+. ang nangyari siningil yung 1st month ko then they charged me one month advance pa.

here are the issues:
nasan na yung free 1 month ko?
*wala din kaming usapan na may 1 month advance.
*nasan na din yung less P500 ko on the 2nd month?
*kanina ko na lang din nalaman sa customer service na may lock in period of 1 yr. hindi nya rin yun sinabi. malay ko ba dun sa mga lock in period na yun. they are the ones who should give this kind of information.
*pinaninindigan nila na wala silang ganong promo na katulad ng binigay ng agent nila. WTF! ang labo di ba?

[BabyShane]

^ Thats great news. ;) Mag iinquire ako ulit. Buti hindi ako kumuha nung 384 kbps with Globelines landline. P1295 every month. :(

Wireless lang kasi ang abot sa area namin eh.

[b.tch]

Hey~ I'd love to apply sa Eastern DSL. Does anyone know kung anong number yung pwedeng tawagan? thanks!

[kopinux]

naka smartbro kami ngayon, grabe ninakaw yung linya ng pldt sa amin. isang buwan walang internet.

[scorevon]

bad3p ang bagal talaga ng PLDT sana ayusin nila sevice nila.

[streetglow07]

i was thinking of subscribing to a plan 999. tiningnan ko yung zpdee, globe and pldt. bakit iba iba yung mga nakalagay na speeds? yung sa globe, 1.5mbps. yung sa pldt, 1mbps. yung sa zpdee, 384kbps. parang may mali.. plus, sa globe, meron ring 512kbps na 999 kahit na may 1.5mbps sa isa pang window dito. prang ang weird. ano ba to?

[--SuperBoy--]

Hi need your opinion lang.

Im currently a subscriber of Bayantel DSL 386Kpbs for around 2 years na.

Eh i learned that globelines and pldt could offer up tp 1Mpbs in the same price range that im paying my bayantel.

I wanna transfer sana. Now my question, kamusta ba ang service ng globe at ng pldt? Napuputol ba o maayos naman? With Bayantel naman kasi i'm ok with it, walang problema except that its only 386Kpbs. Laki ng difference nun sa 1Mpbs diba? Sayang naman.

Lastly, which is better, Globe or Pldt?

Any comments/suggestions will be welcome. Thanks in advance. :bashful:

[pgma]

Question lang sa globe wired broadband users:

globe broadband is offering phone + internet (mbps) for 1295. question
1. madalas ba downtime ng globe?
2. compatible ba *** dlink wireless router sa modem ng globe? wala kayang maging problem?
3. once connected via dlink wireless router, can i connect my 2 other computers in it?

feedback lang. tnx

[smokingunmanila]

I had all of them....i was shock that Bayantel outpace PLDT/dsl in terms of speed...mas reilable ang bayantel...dahil siguro konte pa lang kami or tayo...pldt..sobrang bagal...

[soulassassin547]

I had all of them....i was shock that Bayantel outpace PLDT/dsl in terms of speed...mas reilable ang bayantel...dahil siguro konte pa lang kami or tayo...pldt..sobrang bagal...

Kahit sa Olongapo smooth ang takbo ng Bayantel sa online games (no lag!) at downloading -- at sinabayan ang dalawa! :) Sana meron din dito sa amin kesa sa lintik na Digitel na iyan (grabe ang singil)... aw, wishful thinking. :(

[sundae_mcdip]

what do you suggest for san pedro laguna area?

have you tried calling them asking for a possible upgrade?

[[G]erald™]

I've a problem with my PLDT MyDSL

My DSL gets disconnected every two hours. Their service center is always busy when I try to call them. Any tips?

[quents]

^switch? :hmm:

[babygirl44]

balak ko magapply ng globelines. kaya lang sa mga requirements na kailangan nila, yung utilities naman nakapangalan sa parents ko. ma-aaprove ba yung application ko pag id and itr lang ang requirements na masubmit ko?

[--SuperBoy--]

have you tried calling them asking for a possible upgrade?

for that price range, 384 kpbs pa rin ang offer nila, which sa globe and pldt 1mpbs na.

but mukhang kahit 384Kpbs lang ang bayantel sila pa rin ang pinaka-ok.

[hopefulwriter]

Based on experience and hearsay, maraming ayaw sa PLDT DSL because of their customer service. Your best bet is probably Globe (since a lot of people I know are okay with their service and masbago siya), but some argue that cabled internet is still better than wireless, so in that case get Destiny.

I have a friend who has both Destiny and SmartBro in their house. I think that's the only way to ensure you have Internet all the time because Destiny is down sometimes, SmartBro is down the other times.

[BabyShane]

balak ko magapply ng globelines. kaya lang sa mga requirements na kailangan nila, yung utilities naman nakapangalan sa parents ko. ma-aaprove ba yung application ko pag id and itr lang ang requirements na masubmit ko?

Kelangan nila ng proof of billing na dapat nakapangalan sa iyo. If sa parents mo nakapangalan yang proof of billing, sa pangalan na lang nila yung application mo sa Globe if yan gusto mo.

Ganiyan din kasi ang case ko, wala akong proof of billing na naka-address sa akin. Sabi ng Globelines, any business letters will do basta nakapangalan sa akin. Kaya naghahanap ako ng mga past letters na dumating for me. :)

[babygirl44]

maraming salamat babyshane!:) you've been a great help.;)

[BabyShane]

No problem babygirl. Balitaan mo na lang ako pag nag submit ka na. Magpapakabit na rin ako ng Globelines Wireless Broadband. I'd rather have this than PLDT.

Inaantay ko pa yung Certificate of Employment ko kasi from our HR Dept.

[sundae_mcdip]

ako rin im planning to get globe broadband pero *** wired since un *** meron sa location namin (san pedro laguna)

[booksale]

sino nang gumagamit ng globe dsl?

ito mukhang maganda. mas maganda kaysa sa pldt dahil 1Mbps ang plan 1295 nila compared to pldt's plan 1299 (512kbps lang):

http://www.globelines.com.ph/NewsArticle.php?id=37

Wired Globe Broadband Plan 1.0 Mbps Data and Voice

Plan 1.0 Mbps Data and Voice
PhP 1,295
1.0 Mbps
Wired Landline

installation is free. at libre ang modem nila unlike sa pldt's plan 1299.


meron rin sila nung plan 995, landline plus 384kbps connection.

http://www.globelines.com.ph/NewsArticle.php?id=36

bago ako lilipat from pldt to globe, gusto ko munang malaman kung maganda ang connection at service ng globe.

[gazastrip]

I've tried PLDT My DSL, Globe and Sky DSL (Bayantel), Bayantel is more reliable and much much better customer service

[seahaven]

Im on Destiny for more than a year now and I can say that im greatly satisfied with the speed and experienced very minimal downtime which happened when the strong typhoon hit us last year...


btw im located at scout area, maybe it depends on the location...

[cynderssor]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/181078876.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

[booksale]

anong gamit mo cynd?

[cynderssor]

pldt dsl. P1995 yata. for business use kasi to. i just noticed that the dl speed increased. 2 years ago mga 70+Kbps, 8 months ago mga 100Kbps, ngayon mga 150Kbps.

[booksale]

yung dsl modem, do you have different modems for different dsl speeds? one for 1Mbps. another for 512 kbps. and 384 kbps etc.

o pwede itong pldt dsl modem for all types of dsl connections?

[cynderssor]

^isa lang yong modem. yong binigay ng pldt noon (2 yrs ago) yun pa rin ngayon.

[goldengriffin]

How much do you pay for your destiny cable and what is the speed?


Im on Destiny for more than a year now and I can say that im greatly satisfied with the speed and experienced very minimal downtime which happened when the strong typhoon hit us last year...

[white rabbit]

i'm also a destiny internet subscriber for almost 2 years now and i'm fully satisfied with the speed and customer service. theoretically, the maximum speed is 10 Mbps. but connection speed may vary depending on the number of users who are online. but guess what? i often enjoy speeds of more than that. right at this moment, the speed reads 100 Mbps! you pay 999 per month, but you initially pay P2000 for the modem which is consumable after 10 months. you don't have to subscribe to their cable TV service to avail of the internet service.

[calel]

hey! nice review.

im planning to get a dsl connection narin, but wala pa access ang ZPDee, Bayantel, and Destiny..

so im stuck with PLDT, Smart, and GLobe (ata).

I guess it still depends sa location kung ok ang speed/access, so i'll be needing the opinion from people in the south area.

Sa may muntinlupa ako e, poblacion ata..

Yung sa globe b, kasama na sa package/plan yung phoneline meaning i can get rid of pldt? hehe


Any help? Thanks :)

[sweet_ryan]

hello, my eastern telecom dsl was installed today and i don't know how am i gonna know th speed, i subscribed to their 768 kbps bundled with phone for 1295 php.

pano ko makukuha yung actual speed ko via sppedtest.net?

[sweet_ryan]

alam ko na speed ko, ito yung link....768 kbps subscription ko, okay ba to?

http://www.speedtest.net/result/184485266.png

[mbt]

anyone have an idea what areas are serviced by eastern?

im subscribed to bayantel and if bayantel customer service is already considered good, then consumers are really screwed. my internet was disconnected for almost a whole week and a tech came three times but failed to resolve the problem. finally it turns out that the problem was with the physical connection at the lamp post, which was sort-of fixed by day 4.

however, it seems that bayantel refuses to reimburse me for the downtime (as they state on their website) because they claim that each time their techs came over, they fixed the problem and so the service ticket was closed within 24 hours. im contesting these closures since it would have been impossible for the connection to be restored if there was a problem with the line at the lamp post in the first place!

since they fixed that, my connection has been unstable with intermittent disconnections and times where the ping spikes.

of course, all these happened after the 15-day "trial" period.

[ezra is better]

The Worst: Globelines Vobb
-pardon The All-caps, I'm Mad As Hell

1. We Specifically Applied For The Landline Broadband Bundle. We Were Even Asking About The Caller Id And Call Waiting Features And If The Handset Had A Built In Caller Id Screen. The Agent Said Yeah Yeah Yeah. Lo And Behold - They Installed The Vobb. I Work At Night So I Sleep During The Day And Unfortunately They Installed It While I Was Sleeping And My Mom - She Is 65 So She Didn't Know What The Vobb Was.

2. To Make Matters Worse, The Thing Doesn't Work. 80% Of The Time The Phone Doesn't Have A Dial Tone.

3. I Applied For The Bundle Because We Are In Dire Need Of A Landline But The Broadband Of The Vobb Bundle Itself Is Worse Than Dial-up. It's Intermittent - Remember Getting A Call While Surfing While Forgetting To Turn Your Call Waiting Off? That How Intermittent It Was. My Mother Tried Using The Phone While I Was Surfing - And Guess What, Hehe, I Would Stop Receiving Data. And For The Love Of God, You Can't Download Torrents While Surfing! It's Ridiculous! I Can't Even Access Gmail And Download A Torrent. That's Gmail. I Have To Stop The Download If I Want To Access A Site.

It Was Downright Deceitful. And The Product Sucks For Lack Of A Better Word. It's So Disappointing Because I've Been A Globe Handyphone Subscriber For 5 Years And I've Been So Satisfied With Their Postpaid Service I'm Never Going Back To Prepaid Even With The Unlimited What Nots. If You Think Smart Bro Sucks You Haven't Met The Globe Vobb.

As For The Much Maligned Smart Bro With Whom I've Been Subscribed To For 5 Mos - Mercifully It Is Actually Pretty Good In My Area. My Connection Has Always Been A Decent 300+. I Can Download Torrents, Surf And Watch Youtube All At Once. It's A Far Cry From Globelines Vobb Hell (which Some Of Their Agents Maliciously Sell As Regular Landline W/ Broadband) - If You're Thinking About Getting This, Stick W/ Dial-up.

[fighter24]

open ba globe broadband sa caloocan??

try to call 3001000 and ask eastern's cust rep if may service sila sa area nyo...i subscribed to 768 kbps and hindi pa bumababa ng 650 kbps ang upload and download speed ko...pwede na din.

[ruri_asagi]

anung mas ok pldt my dsl or bayan dsl?

Magkano monthly rate nila?

[quisty16]

How's Globe Broadband?

[vj_ice_17]

Hi Guys, help naman, kc balak kong magpakabit ng internet connection, but I don't have any idea, which one is good. Anyone around Valenzuela na may feedback regarding sa mga connection nila.

Tnx... :)

[sweet_ryan]

Magkano monthly rate nila?

phone plus internet = php1295.00

[guessst]

were planning po kasi na magpakabit ng internet ** sa amin sa paranaque. ano po ba ang mas ok pldt mydsl or globelines? or any suggestion po? tnx...

[ruri_asagi]

^ mas mura sa globelines...mas mabilis pa!

[eww14]

parehas ba ang eastern DSL at eastern evo DSL? planning to switch from bayantel, hindi na kasi ako maka SOD, baka dahil lagpas 2 years na kaya medyo mahal na din 899 for 384 kbps

[guessst]

^ mas mura sa globelines...mas mabilis pa!

globelines po ba ang gamit nyo at saang area po ba kayo? ano po ang speed nya?

I'm from Muntinlupa also, putatan naman.

I applied for PLDT MyDsl, wala pa daw linya! To think na merong PLDT Bus. Exchange Office sa loob ng village!:angry:

Smart Bro lang ang available...

[ruri_asagi]

1.5 mbps for only 990php

[Gobi]

SmartBro is a :no: (Well, it depends, location based kasi tong loko na to)

Kung walang wired connections sa area niyo at talagang SmartBro lang ang available, try niyo muna mag-survey sa mga naka SmartBro sa lugar niyo. Mahirap kumagat sa pain ng Smart, its a 1year lock-in period at baka magkamali ka, pagsisisihan mo pa sa loob ng isang taon.

Also, to think, Smart has the lowest Plan (is it?) in terms of Internet connection. P999 for a 384kbps (512kbps in selected areas) connection, supposedly, pero hindi nila naibibigay sa mga subscribers nila. (At least the satisfying 'mark' which I guess 250 and above)

I'm not against Smart or whatever, I'm just basing on my personal experience, together with my SmartBroken clan... :lol:

Just a few reminders. ;)

P.S

>Upon installing the Smart Canopy, make sure that there is a clear LOS (Line of Sight) between your house and their base station. Importante yun. :bop:

And also, don't believe their tech team when they tell you, komo malapit sa base station means mabilis ang connection. Hell, NO. Kahit katabi mo base station nila, kung bulok, Bulok talaga. *peace*

[pollywog]

^we have a "very clear" line of sight from our house to their base station. Halos mga 300meters lang ang laho sa bahay namin.

I asked my neighbors kung OK connection nila at kung hindi paputol-putol, OK naman daw.

I applied last tuesday...sana makabitan kami kaagad. :)

[ruri_asagi]

^ smart bro ba yan? mabilis lang yan makakabit!

[Gobi]

Aww.. hindi na-post yung reply ko... (server busy :confused: )

^ruri, smartBro ka ba? Ang hirap open tong PEx using Smart... heheh

@pollywog,

Good for you, ü

Buti ka pa 300m lang ang layo, sakin kasi 0.97miles heheh

Yup, don't worry. SmartBro pa, mabilis magkabit yan, pero mabagal sa cust service... hehe

Well, good luck! :)

[pollywog]

^Yup, SmartBro.

[guessst]

1.5 mbps for only 990php

kasama na po ba yung telephone line jan at wired po ba or wireless (if kasama yung phone sa plan mo)?

[ruri_asagi]

^ wired po yan

sa ngayon anong mas maganda pldt my dsl plan 999 @ 1mbps or bayan dsl plan 899 @ 384kbps?

[quents]

ok ba ang globe wireless broadband?

kakatamad mag backread sorry!!!

[sirdaecon]

Sa akin so far hindi,hindi ko nga alam kung pano magupgrade eh,magwa-wired na ako:rolleyes:

[mbt]

i subscribed to bayantel on good feedback from forums (such as this thread), but really it's hit or miss and so far it's a miss for me.

My connection has been down or been unstable for the past three weeks. I've spoken to all three supervisors at their tech support department, their tech has come to my house about twelve times already, but still my connection wasn't like how it was before.

Thinking of moving somewhere else, and no way in hell am I paying their pre-termination fee. Maybe I'll give back their modem in a trash bag with garbage in it. Or maybe I'll just go to their head office and burn their modem in the lobby.

[TravelBug]

Bayantel isn't like what it used to be. I was one of the happy customers and I also recommended them to all my friends. Since the August 21 incident my connection has been at its worst. Nightmare ang magdownload at 35kbps for over a month. Hindi din maipaliwanag sa akin kung ano nangyayari. I hate to say this but Bayantel is becoming like PLDT. I am planning to switch too. I heard Globe will start servicing my area soon so good news for me.

[pollywog]

^sa lugar namin panget ang Globe...

[baguhangtao]

^ wired po yan

sa ngayon anong mas maganda pldt my dsl plan 999 @ 1mbps or bayan dsl plan 899 @ 384kbps?

1mbps na???

Last March 2007 lang nagsimula yung P999 @ 700 something kbps tapos in a few months iba n agad.

Currently naka PLDT MY DSL Plan 999 @ 700 something kbps ako. Paano magiging 1mbps yung connection ko? After the 1 year contract ba magiging 1 mbps na rin yung akin?

[baguhangtao]

^sa lugar namin panget ang Globe...

Amin din. Mapili din sa location yang Globe. Nagpakabit kami nung Feb 07 tpos day 1 palang bulok agad yung connection. After 2 weeks of hardships with Globe (as in walang internet) na may kasama ng technical assistance, pinaterminate na namin.

[sirdaecon]

Wala ba silang bond dude?Anong promo ng globe yang sayo?Ang pangit din kse nitong sa akin na 999 eh baka ipa-terminate ko na din:depressed:

[shadowwisemail]

I've just subscribe to smart bro (last week) and so far... I'm dissapointed to the speed I'm getting. Yes I got 384kbps DL speed during 10pm - 10am (off-peak) but during peak hours.... the speed is way slower than my dial-up connection!



Sample speed: (Oct. 3, 2007)

http://www.speedtest.net/result/189567508.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

I already called smart bro support center once... and the reason they gave me is that our connection is slower bec. a lot of users are accessing their service area.... (congested) :shock:

I don't know when will I call again but if I got these results everyday... :shock:

My friend already responded that eastern evo dsl is available in our area (sta cruz). I'm planning to get the 1.5K 1Mbps + landline plan. Hopefully it won't be the same as my experience with smart bro. I might just use smart bro as an alternate.

BTW is it possible to combine 2 connections into 1 pc by using a router? (smart bro + eastern dsl) so that I won't waste my 999 every month (11.5 months left) :(


much better after an hour
http://www.speedtest.net/result/189575768.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

but still not enough DL speed for me to download files.....

[naia]

sobrang bagal naman nyan. nag try ako ***** at eto yung lumabas

http://www.speedtest.net/result/189665496.png (http://www.speedtest.net)












dial up pa rin ako. last sun may naka pldt na pumunta sa bahay para ayusin yung landline namin. inalok ako kung gusto ko mang DSL. pumayag naman ako. hay. sana hindi mali itong gagawin ko. malapit naman kami sa bus office nila. mga 1-2 kms ata (max na 3)

[baguhangtao]

Wala ba silang bond dude?Anong promo ng globe yang sayo?Ang pangit din kse nitong sa akin na 999 eh baka ipa-terminate ko na din:depressed:

What do you mean by "bond"? Iyan ba yung contract? P999 din yung kinuha namin before sa Globe.

[pollywog]

I'm a new SmartBro subscriber also, just last saturday.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/189863515.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Ok naman, hindi naman bumababa ng 150kbps yung connection ko kahit peak hours.

Nakapag-download na rin ako ng latest episodes ng Heroes...

I think depende talaga sa location nyo yan. Kasi on my part, tanaw from our rooftop yung base station nila. A few hundred meters lang from our house.*okay*

[Ajinomoto]

^^^ whats your actual download?

[TravelBug]

I use Azureus and download speed registers at that level as well. Sometimes I would reach 260 kB/s (2080 kb/s) download and 120 kB/s (960 kb/s) upload. Sinawaan siguro ang Bayantel sa kakareklamo ko hehe.

[ruri_asagi]

^ ano yung plan mo?

[eww14]

nice! meron pala eastern sa sta cruz, ayaw ko na ng bayantel tapos na daw SOD ko, alam niyo ba packages ng eastern?

[Ajinomoto]

nice! meron pala eastern sa sta cruz, ayaw ko na ng bayantel tapos na daw SOD ko, alam niyo ba packages ng eastern?

512kbps for P1195 kasama na landline

[eww14]

ok ba ang burst sa eastern? baka kasi kunin ko yung 384kbps lang (990 per month), kasi tatlo na landline namin sayang lang pag may kasamang landline

[cairo]

TravelBug - how much po plan nyo?

i think this is my fastest speed with pldt dsl so far...

[TravelBug]

^I'm on 2Mbps with Bayantel kaya tama lang yung speed na nakukuha ko. Nakakasawa na din ang inconsistency sa service ng Bayantel so baka lumipat din ako sa Globe. Sana magkaroon na ng Globe dito sa area namin.

[Dragonmate]

Anybody here in Sta. Rosa Laguna?
I'm using PLDT's Plan 995 and here's my speedtest results:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/190615905.png (http://www.speedtest.net)
Globe is offering 1.5 mbps for the same price so nag-apply ako. what do you think?

[Battosai]

Wala bang speedtest results from Globe?

[Dragonmate]

Got my Globe DSL already-- Plan 999, 1.5 mbps.
Here's my speedtest result:

Panalo!
Their modem comes with a wifi router na rin, so I have an extra router at home. Panalo!
Ang talo lang, parang mahina yata yung wifi router nila. :-(

hey cool. am simultaneously using ie and opera downloading 4 files. total speeds 65kbps.*okay*

anyone from bacoor here who is using either Globe or PLDT broadband services? any feedbacks? thanks

[mykel_10]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/191834966.png

mejo consistent naman dito sa area namin ang SkyDSL(I'm on 384 bundled), kaso nkakatempt **** lumipat ng Globe because konti lang ang diff. sa MSF then 1.5mbps pa Globe. Consistent kaya sila sa speed nila?

nakakatakam yung speed na nakuha ni Dragonmate @999.

lately nga bumabagal ang skydsl, cubcao area ko,
last month mabilis naman:mecry:

[mykel_10]

ako din cubao area, pero happy **** ako sa connection ko. me times **** na napuputol yung connection or mabagal pero parang sakit na nya yun eh. what i do is reset ko *** yun active connection ko and obtain a new ip. tpos check kung ok yun speed, pag mabagal repeat k *** yun pag-reset. it takes a minute lang **** so walang problema. wag lang mawawala ng 1 hour or even a whole day

[TREX OKIARU]

nag apply ako globe dsl 1.5

sept 1 nakabit na yung mga linya, pero walang dsl signal daw

Nakailang balik na mga technician nila (4x) pero parang lahat clueless kung ano problema, sinasabi na lang saken connection / facility problem, will followup.

I am getting sick and tired for calling the technical support kase ang binibigay lang saken, will follow up with support (solo ko na nga mga sasabihin nila eh)

4x visit technician, meron na ding 4x nagschedule sila na di sumipot.

Nagpunta nako Oct 12 sa globelines center, sinigurado nile na the 13th or 14th may pupunta, maghapon ako nag antay, walang dumating.

the last schedule na binigay nila saken last tuesday (tumawag pako nung umaga nun sa headquarters nila to confirm at sabi nakasagot siguradong may pupunta), di ako pumasok at maghapon ako nag intay pero walang dumating, badtrip.

Sept 1 with almost everyday calling their tech support, Oct 18 na ngayon wala pa ren, every time i call iniiwan ko number ko requesting them to please call me for updates, pero walang tawag.


lam ko mga contractors lang yung gumagawa ng work nila. pero kanino ko pa ba dapat i forward yung ka walang kwentang trabho nung mga technicians nila?

Already thinking cancelling my account this weekend. such a lousy support. grabe.

from BF homes Intl, Las pinas

[flyreel]

how come eastern is not on list? eastern is one of the only ones.. other than digitel that have a good fiber optic network.. maybe they dont have enough coverage .?

just wondering.. :confused:

[flyreel]

TREX OKIARU .. that's terrible.. really.. the reason why i am replying is because i have a friend who lives in bf homes tell me the same thing.. and i didnt believe it.. he said that globe told him that he had to install it himself.. can you believe that!!
it is true they hire contractors because they never know how much volume they will get ..(even though they probably have orders for the next year!!) and also for them to save money..
the best thing for you to do is keep asking for who is the account manager for your area or when you applied. try to get the account managers email and explain all that you said here. then ask him Who the contractors are and if he can kindly give you their cell number. than call them up and ask when the next time they will be in bf.
good luck..!!
post me how it goes.. am curious..

GOOD LUCK!!

[TREX OKIARU]

I terminated the account last weekend. Waiting since sept 1, calling almost everyday, going to the globeline center for followup, and being stood up on scheduled visits (with me not going to work just to wait for them). I think it was too much already.

No questions asked naman, and they assured me I am not gonna be paying for anything.

[DarthScully]

i live in the Filinvest QC area (near Batasan). signed up with Globe DSL 1.5 earlier this month, the speed is pretty good so far, however i notice that it would frequently disconnect then reconnect on its own (i know that because my public IP keeps changing), its the weirdest thing. is that normal for the DSL in the Philippines?

[pollywog]

...meron na ulit PLDT Dsl 990 (DSL+landline)...

[romantic_guy08]

Globe for me still gives the best service...have tried Globe and PLDT, and so far, not problem pa ako with Globe...havent tried other ISPs though like ZPDEE and others...:)

[naia]

no problems for me...so far. im going to check w pldt later kung ano talaga exact speed ko. sabi kasi ng lineman 300-400 burst around 500. normal ba na umabot ng 800+ yung speed ko madaling araw? yung download ko (direct or torrent) umaabot ng 100kB/s.

[kopinux]

former pldt dsl user: 2mbs ;P3000
mabilis at maganda sa download.
kaso pangit sa gaming kasi pag naputol ang tagal ng recovery, mga 30 60 secs, ping out na drop ka na sa game. mag brownout lang sa ibang area wala ka ng internet, humangin lang ng malakas unstable yung connection at ninanakaw pa yung kable.

now smartbro 999 38*kbps
mabagal sa download pero okay sa game kasi constant yung connection pag naputol yung connection mga 3 seconds lang connected ulit hindi laglag sa game. mawawalan ka lang ng connection pag nag down yung cellsite.

[quents]

wow bilis ng bayantel today. 80kbps dl rate!!!

[mykel_10]

^ 80 kbps or 80kB/s? daming post sa pinoydsl about this. regular 384 plan subs getting sod speeds kahit na peak hours. this started yesterday pa and up to now ganun pa din speed na nakukuha ko:)

[Galvantic@STS]

question, pwede bang i connect sa mas mahabang network cable (?) yung modem? kasi sabi nung nakausap ko from pldt dapat katabi lang ng phone yung PC. eh pano kung gusto ko sa bedroom ko yung internet? eh nasa living room namin yung landline eh, mga 10-15 meters away yung room ko from our phone.

:(

[mykel_10]

ok lang *****, ako kse yung phone ko nasa baba ng haus namin and yung modem nandito sa 2nd floor katabi ng pc ko, ***** around 15+ meters yung cable na ginamit ko pero ok naman walang constant disconnections and slowdowns. :)

[alaina_05]

[mykel_10]

thank you. wala bang additional na bayad yan pag mahaba yung cable?

uhm, depende yta sa provider. during the time kasi na nagpakabit ako dati sa Bayantel, hindi sila nagproprovide other than yung standard cable nila na maikli. so ang sabi sa akin before pmunta yung magkakabit, is magready na ako ng sarili kong cable and ilatag ko na din dahil talagang install *** sila ng DSL, yung sa phone hindi na daw nila saop. well it's not a problem for me naman kaya, bumili na *** ako sa handyman and yun ang ginamit ko, i think its more than 15m pa nga.hth*okay*

[lucy_monostone]

Globe connection ko last year ok pa *** speed nya specially pag nagdadownload at sa online games ngayon sobrang bagal at lag pa! simula ng taiwan earthquake ganito na sya at madalas din mag-disconnect but lately hindi na gaano pero mabagal pa rin sa download at online games....

:(

you can definitely do that, have the tech place the dsl modem near where your phone jack is and connect an ethernet cable from the modem then run the cable to the computer in your room. this may involve some planning and preparation though, but it works, its the set up i have at home and everything is working fine. *okay*

Been using Globe broadband right now, 1st 2 weeks was okay then ngayon laging nadidisconnect after a few minutes of being online or hindi talaga nagcoconnect. :\

Yes, the limit for the network cable is 100 meters before you experience loss of signal

any feedbacks from PLDT MyDSL or Globe Broadband subscribers here from Cavite especially from Bacoor?

i think globe broadband rules...so far wala namang problem,pero minsan di makaconnect but in a very rare manner naman....to sum it up...globe is pretty competitive among other ISP'S

[naia]

never experienced downtime pa, so far with pldt mydsl. 512 yung advertise speed pero umaabot ng 900kbps kahit hapon. bilis din ng DL speed, abot 100kB/s

Is it just me or struggle na ang makaconnect sa SkyDSL? Inaabot na ako ng halos 10 times bago makaconnect. Nakailang tawag na ako at i hope umayos na, otherwise, i might have to do the switch.

BayanDSL New Speed Upgrade

768kbps @ P899/mo with SOD up to 1280kbps
1280kbps @ P1699/mo with SOD up to 1536kbps
2560kbps @ P2699 without SOD

email lang po kayo sa Customer Support for Data & IP Services (csdip@bayan.com.ph) *okay*

[bluethehero]

mykel_10^ok yang Christmas gift from Bayantel. Pero sana aside from the speed upgrade, ayusin din nila ang connection. medyo intermittent na yung sakin eh. it usually takes me 10 or more attempts before i get a stable connection.

[mykel_10]

@blue

oo nga mejo intermittent yung connection, pero these last few days naging stable yung connection ko and maganda yung binibigay na speed. although hindi pa ko upgraded (just requested a while ago) yung speed ko during off-peak hours is nsa 768kbps na din:) sana mmaya pag SOD time na makuha ko yung upgraded speed:p

[bluethehero]

i just asked Bayantel CSR to send a technician at our house tomorrow. if the problem will not be fixed, looks like goodbye SkyDSL. it was a really nice year of good and quality service, but your recent intermittent connection is getting on my nerves. i'm seriously considering to switch on Globe broadband (the wireless one). medyo hassle lang ang requirements ng globe sa isang gaya ko na mababa ang sahod :lol:

mykel_10 may alam ka ba sa planong wireless broadband ng bayantel? Globe already has that, maybe they can have the same. baka sakali yun, patulan ko.

[spiceisland]

Hoorah SKYdsl finally upgraded! I'm getting 90+ kB/s DL speed. (plan 899) Unfortunately, my SOD isn't working yet. Isn't it supposed to be permanent already?

guys, para sa mga may dsl connection na mabagal, try this low risk, high reward option.

download tcp optimizer and optimize your download speeds

http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

it's very simple.

1) at the General Tab, select the "connection speed" appropriate for your connection (try 1024 kbps)

2) at the network adapter section, pick the appropriate adapter

3) then select the "optimal setting" button below, automatic na yung program mag co-configure ng appropriate speeds para sa connection mo. then click "apply changes". then press OK.

voila. reset cpu.

[bluethehero]

hay naku bayantel. akala ko ayos na ang problema, pero balik na naman. nakakagamit lang ako tuwing ganitong oras. grrr.

bakit tila lahat na yata ng DSL providers eh malala ang serbisyo?

1) globe wired broadband - parati puno boxes
2) pldt mydsl - super intermittent daw, ang bagal at di nabibigay ang promised speed
3) globe wireless - eto nga, parang dial-up din daw.
4) bayantel dsl - either ako lang ang may problema, or pati sila ay lumalala na. intermittent connection ko pwera pag ganitong oras.

[quents]

blue i got that prob too. i asked them to change my modem. umokay na.

[jiraiyamanyakol]

magandang araw po!

i was thinking of getting a digitel dsl line. may inooffer sila na 999 pesos = 512 kbps to existing landline users. ok naman kaya ito? (am in pangasinan)

kung sakaling i-avail namin ito e eto ang magiging unang dsl connection namin (bye bye dial up hehe). kung price din lang naman ang pinaguusapan e pwede na.

pero since n00b pa lang ako sa dsl may mga tanong ako
1. ok ba ang serbisyo ng digitel sa dsl? yung service nila sa landline ok naman (at least dito sa pangasinan).
2. reliable kaya ang connection nila? consistent na online at yung speed? tsaka ano pala ang definition ko dapat ng reliable?

ayun lang. salamat!

tama ba ako? may streamer sila near our house.

seriously, i don't think destiny has that promo. wala naman silang landline service, saka cable tv pa lang P500 na.

guys, meron ba sa inyong pldt mydsl subscriber sa bandang caloocan(sta.quiteria/baesa/quirino hiway)? gusto ko na kasing magpa-install ng dsl kaya lang worried lang ako na baka hindi maganda ang connection sa area na yan... sabi kasi ng mga friends ko.. depende daw talaga sa lugar.... pldt is my best option now kasi may landline na naman kami.. mag-add na lang ata ako sa monthly fee kung magpapa-install ako ng dsl... my 2nd choice is globe yung nga lang dagdag na 990php a month....

[lunedi]

Salamat at may ganitong thread. I've been meaning to get DSL for my place (I live in Santolan, near Marikina). PLDT is the first option, though sa feedback na nakikita ko, medyo hesitant ako :p Not sure if Bayantel's available in the area, pero Globe ata nag start na. Mukhang OK yung Destiny. Btw, ala ako landline ehehhe.

Natawa lang ako kasi kwento ng friend ko, nung nagpakabit siya ng Globe, sinabihan siya nung technician, "Alam niyo sir, mas maganda yung Smart Bro." Amp... walang company loyalty hahaha!

isa pa, please paki post dito kung ayos na ang network nila. currently using dialup right now eh.

[cairo]

ako rin naka dial up.... grrr... hindi tuloy natuloy yung interview ko ngayon grrr... kakainis.

i got through their callcenter kanina and yun nga, network problems indefinite kung kelan magagawa...

[spiceisland]

nagpakabit ako before ng wireless broadband with globe plan 1295 1mbps bundled with free phone.. super crap ang connectiion.. talo pa ang dial up lagi down ang system! pabalik balik ako s business centers nila *** ipacut na *** line ko and apply for a new wired internet connection

finally after 2-3 weeks nakabitan na ako ng 1mbps na globe wired with free phone..so far im very happy sa speed na nakukuha ko.. super bilis, wlag lag, walang disconnection.. good karma na din siguro sa akin nito after ko mabuwisit s wireless nila!

go for globe broadband (wired internet) yahoo!

[booksale]

so, ayos na ba yung sa pldt? nakapag-connect na ba kayo?

[cairo]

^ayos na.. now lang

plan kong magpakabit ng dsl sana.. my options are mydsl(pldt) and globe broadband... nag-inquire ako kanina sa pldt at ang sabi ang available lang daw sa area namin is yung plan 999, on top pa ito ng existing pldt fone bill ko.. so ang lalabas ang magiging monthly ko is almost 1700/mo. medyo mahal.. :( hindi pa daw available *** add na lang ng dsl for an existing fone line na magiging 1299/mo ang bill.

pldt sana ang first option ko kasi nga may existing pldt fone line na ako. kaya lang try ko pa daw maghintay ng 1 month kung magiging available na dito sa area (sta. quiteria caloocan)namin *** 1299 promo... tapos kung mag-aapply daw ako.. need ko daw pumunta ng business office nila.. pero parang may nabasa ako na pede naman atang over the phone tutal may existing fone line na naman ako....

my second option is globe broadband kasi mukhang maganda naman ang service nila... when i called, 995 ang wireless broadband and 1295 naman *** fone+broadband. ayaw ko namang palitan ang fone line ko kasi medyo hassle pa yun sa pag-update sa mga friends ko ng new number, sa mga pending job applications ko, etc.

may difference ba sa performance kung wired o wireless ang broadband?

[macobex]

Ang bagal talaga ng PLDT , 58kbps *** ang speed ko. badtrip.

buti ako (cal din) nakapag avail ng 1299 nung pinaayos namin yung fone. yung mismong lineman ang nagalok ng dsl. ok ang connection (only encountered a downtime recently) pero other than that, wala na. ang sabi sa aking speed eh 512kbps pero 800+kbps ave ko (kahit peak hours) at 90-100 kB/s yung dl. try mo tumawag sa PLDT, ask mo ulit if avail na.

teka, as far as i know walang globe (wired) sa caloocan, wireless lang ang alam ko (option ko rin before aside from PLDT and Eastern). mas ok are wired kaysa sa wireless imo.

[kendz20]

^ thanks! next weekend ko pa sila matatawagan. kasi late na ko umuwi on weekdays, sarado na call center nila then hindi rin ako makatawag sa office kasi globe ang linya... sana nga pagtawag ko ulit meron na... sayang din naman yung matitipid na 400/monthly

bakit ang bagal ng connection ng ibang pldt? like yung plan 999, imbps yun...yung sa akin ek plan1299 (landline/dsl) at 512kbps lang daw yung speed ko. iba ba ang config? 122 yung start ng ip ko. nagbabago everytime i reset ko yung modem or pc.

[froshie1]

bad trip ang PLDT, down sila mula Fri hanggang Monday sa Pque ewan ko lang ngayon. di ako nakapagwork ng matino sa bahay.

eto pa pansin ko. nung tumawag ako sa 173 sabi ng auto announcement nila na "We're glad to inform you that we're experiencing browsing problems etc.. etc.." Napansin nyo ba iyon? Inulit ko ulit glad iyong narinig ko eh. Though baka banggag na ako kakawork.

do you know where i could get other providers here in las pinas? my dsl application w/ pldt is taking a loooonnnng time (1 month na) they screwed up, i was told pwede sa line namin yung 1299 na bundle, when i applied and got a service order # after 2 weeks, they tell me not available *** plan na yun amin. they will cancel daw the service order then issue me a new one for plan 999. but pare.. i have been following up the cancellation for days.. then after it was cancelled i have to wait again for a new service number.. bad trip!!

i inquired w/ globe, they have no cable facility in our area. They also checked, di rin pwede ang wireless.

that leaves me with smart wifi. ok ba? or should i just wait for pldt?

There are a lot of things you can't do with a smart bro service. It's routing system doesnt allow you to setup a web server and many hosting applications. That means your service is only good for surfing, downloading, etc..., BTW...why do you need an internet connection?

[kendz20]

just called pldt this afternoon and applied for their 1299 (existing landline + mydsl 512kbps). follow up ko na lang daw after 3-5 days. i also asked on their quick install kit promo, same lang daw as nung in-apply ko, yun nga lang ako lang ang mag-i-install pag binili ko sa department store. hopefully once na magkaroon na ko ng dsl, hindi sana maging sakit ng ulo tulad ng sa iba kong nababasa sa mga forums :)

we're supposed to be on the 512 kbps plan. has anyone else been having probs with their globe dsl lately?

[FallenPixie]

saw on nov25 in front of riverside subd along ortigas ave (pasig area) my destiny offering a 499 broadband package - does anyone know the speed they are offering? i was in a moving vehicle and i do not live in the area so i couldn't stop and ask for any info. haven't seen the promo in any newspaper, tv or at the malls...

[FallenPixie]

st. anger, had the crappy vobb bundle - i so hated it, the connection was intermittent so what was the use of a 512kbps speed if it couldn't stay connected for more than 5-10mins. worse, the phone was nothing but paper weight so i fought innove tooth and nail to have the d@mn thing removed. thank god there is a god - my connection was terminated w/o any fees and they have retrieved the modem/unit so i'm innove-free! weeh! because of the whole thing once my lock-in period with globe (been a post-paid subscriber since 2003, have a lock-in bec i availed of a promo) expires i'm terminating my subscription and switching to smart.

You could apply Smart BRO (384/512kbps @ P999 MSF w/ FREE Installation + new HP Printer @ P599 promo) thru me. Until Dec. 31, 2007 ang promo. Need ff: to apply: Full Name (First, Middle, Last), Birthdate, Valid ID (Type & Nos.), Service Address & Contact nos. (CP &/or landline). Will encode data in my Smart BRO portal. You will then receive a text advisory (Payment Ref. No.) from Smart BRO. U cud now pay pay initial P1,598 at any Smart Wireless Ctr. Service w/ be installed w/n 1- 3 days! *okay*

Swertehan lang talaga kung OK service kahit anong service provider if wireless/wired ang connection!

Taga Las Pinas rin ako at BFRV. Call/text 846-0895/0918-2312423 for more details.:)

myDSL is crazy. Just completely.desperately.hopelessly.f*&^ing.crazy. I am very frustrated. Until now, di pa daw restored *** sa area namin. Meron din ba dito nagkakaproblema pa rin hanggang ngayon? I have been calling them everyday for the past 2 weeks, puro "sorry". kakahighblood. Though I was told I will get rebates once the problem is fixed, I feel that they have falsely advertised about their fast and reliable service. :grrr: Rebates isnt enough, not even a free termination can be enough if they offered it. Dapat sila pa magbayad sa perwisyo noh :rolleyes: Laking hassle kasi, apektado work ng mga tao...:grrr:

[Les]

SkyDSL is doing pretty well at the moment, here's my log of 2 days of straight downloading:

http://web.tri-isys.com/pinoyexchange/les/totals.png

The totals would have been higher had I been able to saturate the bandwidth using torrents. Due to lack of hard disk space I wasn't able to run enough torrents to fully utilize the bandwidth, but the totals per 24h are still pretty good (1.2 Mbps, 1.5 Mbps from 10pm-10am).

[earlboy]

yung technical team ng GLOBE ang tagal. Nung wednesday ko pa nireport yung problem ko, till now di pa sila nagpupunta.

Mas malala ang pldt last last friday ko pa nireport, lagpas 1 week na ang palaging sinasabi lang sa akin, nasa it department na daw nila, pinaprocess na.
Ang masakit pa nito uprade lang from legacy to thier newer IPDSLAM equipment.
Tip lang sa mga datihan ng subscriber ng PLDT myDSL gaya ko ( 3 yrs na po ako ), di tayo ang priority ng pldt, yung mga bagong subsrciber.
Kasi nung nakausap ko yung customer rep nila dun mismo sa business office ( Grace Park Office yung pinuntahan ko ), sabi sa akin di daw automatic ang upgrad from legacy to IPDSLAM, kasi daw pag inupgrade daw yung mga dating subscriber baka maubusan daw ng slots yung mga bagon subscribers.:hmm:
Bale wala pala yung pagiging loyal sa kanila ng customer, despite thier shortcommings. Hayy kung meron lang sanang ibang provider. Ayaw ko ng wireless broadband, pero mukhang mapipilitan, kung ganito naman ang service ng PLDT. Plan 1995 pa naman ako ever since nag-subscribe ako.

after much persistence, naayos na yung broadband ko. It took them 2 weeks and a threat from me namagdidsconnect na ako ng service and I won't pay the remaining balance since I am not getting the service that I signed up for. Kelangan lang pala i-reset yung modem. Hard reset that is. I wonder kung bakit hindi sinabi to ng "tech support" ng globe :hmm:

FallenPixie, also subscribed to Globe speak n surf wireless bundle last June. crappy phone, crappy service. wireless phone had poor signal inside structures, difficulty receiving incoming calls, bad earpiece volume, no backlighting on screen. internet service was intermittent. on top of that, poor customer service - they have not managed to reflect my initial payment even until now so i haven't paid them a centavo. emailed CSR but deleted without reading. They're now trying to recover my unit - does that automatically mean no fees? if not, please let me know how you convinced them not to charge you. TYIA!
