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

[anino83]

4121212, 171 and 4112000. Busy lahat papuntang DSL Tech Support. Minsan pa binababaan pa ako ng phone. Yung hindi siya magsasalita tapos a few seconds after busy tone na ang maririnig ko. Today ilang beses na ako na-disconnect sa internet. Sa ilang beses na pagda-dial ko ng Tech support line, once lang ako nakapasok. Ni-reset lang ang port but nothing improved. Lumala pa. :rolleyes:

if makalusot ako sa 4121212 na line... sasabihin sa akin na sorry sa 411-2000 po kayo tumawag... sabi ko dati may sumagot dito ok lang daw sa 1212 ko iaddress concerns ko...lagi na lang ako binabara na kesyo sa 4112000 lang pede...

grrr!!:grrr: PLDT-like na sila....kakainis!!

[TravelBug]

Down ang Bayantel from 1:30 hanggang mga 3:00 ngayong hapon. 1 hour ako nagda-dial pero sa Customer Service bumagsak ang call ko at blocked na ang lahat ng incoming calls papuntang DSL Tech Support. Nagbigay daw ng notice ang DSL Support department sa kanila na down ang network at inaayos naman daw pero walang ETR na maibigay. Up naman na siya ngayon at eto nakakapag-post na ako hehehe.

Based on my experiences with PLDT, hinding-hindi na ako babalik sa kanila hehehe. Mas malala ang PLDT sa Bayantel. Ewan ko lang ngayon kung may improvement na ang PLDT pero nung subscriber pa ako in 2006, sumakit lang ang ulo ko.

Would you recommend Globe Broadband here in Cainta?

Absolutely NOT-unless you're a masochist. Gone in 60 seconds ang globe - you get a burst speed of about 500kps something that lasts for minute then it's gone just like that. Parang christmast lights ang pagkaintermittent nya :naughty:

[anino83]

ok na ba talaga ang bayantel connexion?

aside from bayantel......ano ba NEXT na ok?

PLDT na lang ata only choice e..

depende rin siguro sa area kasi ok naman SO FAR ang globe dito sa south caloocan.....pinaka mababang speed na naexperience ku is download 300kbps 50 upload mga hapon. plan 512 wireless ako..hindi siya napuputol...sana magtuloy tuloy na ganito kasi marami akong naririnig na sa umpisa lang maganda globe eh mag1 week palang ako dito...

[Impenneteri]

Smartbro Plan 999, exceeding the advertised speed of 384 kbps..:)

how about SmartBro?

[yojan17]

^ Walang kwenta!

Smart Bro ako ngayon eh til july yung contract ko, papatanggal ko na pagkatapos, wala talagaaaang kwenta! Nung simula maayos, pero nitong past few months, swerte mo na kung makapag-internet ka ng 1 minute na diretso. :bop:

Balak ko magpa-PLDT DSL. :) Okay ba ang line nyo? Dito ako sa bandang Imus. :D

hehe check his question - he was specifically asking about Cainta so I was talking about Globe broadband in Cainta *okay*

[ezra is better]

how about SmartBro?

Tricky question hehe sa area namin, Cainta - the side near Marikina - I only had 2 choices: Globe and SmartBro. I wanted PLDT but they can't provide internet without a landline and hindi sila makaprovide ng landline because puno na raw area namin. Go figure. So goodbye PLDT. Fortunately maganda ang Smartbro dito. My 2 neighbors had SmartBro so I saw for myself na maganda sha sa area namin. 2x pa lang sha nagdown for the period of 1 year and 2 mos akong subscribed sa kanila and naayos nila agad - 24hrs turnaround time.

Advice ko sa yo ask your neighbors, see if meron may Smartbro. I asked din sa Smart Wireless Center and they were very honest about which areas ang pangit ang coverage, which ang maganda (or mabait lang yung mga employees sa branch na yun hehe)

[rubberr_ducky]

Parang may topak ang bayantel with pppoe username (qc area). I was expecting for a dc around 10am and it did happen. Weird thing is walang nakakabit na @sod. Reconnect at nakakuha ako ng error 691. Naayos siya after 10mins.

Na dc ulit ako ngayon with a error 691(without me changing with my pppoe profile. No response sa ts dept. Naayos after 10mins.

[dinky207a]

PLDT My Dsl 85% (and would be 99% if not for a week without service , when both Landline and DSL were out) customer service is poor and knows nothing but I have no complaints at all regarding the DSL speed other than this outage.
Smart Bro prepaid 15%
got this as emergency backup , and the aggravation was terrible
it connected fine but the speed varied from 8 to about 90. when clouds came it died, and at night it was useless.
the time is also calculated in a weird way:
if you log in at 9:29 it counts as 9:00, and if you log out at 9:35 it counts as 10:00. one time I was logged in for 1 hour and 2 seconds and it counted as 1 1/2 hours.
if you get a bad connection you can't just disconnect and try again because of this stupid block time.
I think the system does have a future but only if
1) the cost is lowered; 20 pesos per hour would be 3000 a month if 5 hours a day, 6 thousand a month if 10 hours a day so this is way over priced.
2) the block time crap is ended; every dial up charged per second and there is no reason Smart Bro can't do the same. I used PLDT Vibe cards before getting DSL and they charged the normal way.
3) they advertised a realistic speed.
if they would charge 5 pesos per hour, with normal counting of the time , as one would expect to pay for dial up speed and I would rate their service much higher.

[fighter24]

meron ba ditong naka wireless globe broadband?

kasi dumating na yung 1st bill ko at ang total monthly bill ko is 1,187.58 with vat(P127.24)....eh ang plan ko ay wireless512 data only with 995 MSF.....

so 995 dapat not 1187..

ganito rin ba sa inyo



thanks..

[DGC]

Been having problems with my BayanDSL since yesterday (landline was dead). DSL kept getting discon. Anyone else has this problem? (QC area)

Landline is ok now, but net connection is still intermittent

[dyne_chelle]

Advice naman... I'm moving in to Ortigas, alin ang magandang ISP service ang dapat kong kunin? I don't need a landline, net connection lang. Thanks!

[sonn15]

Smart 3G (http://geekandmoney.com/2008/07/19/smart-3g-speed-tests/) has been doing well lately. Sana ganito lagi.

Yup, lagi din napuputol ang connection ko. All the while I though my router has problems. I changed my router and I still get disconnected. I'm online 24/7, I get disconnected 5 or more times in a day. From Libis here. Area niyo guys?

[some.where]

^ wow, you’re actually lucky 5x ka lang na-didisconnect. I can’t freaking download a standard 24-minute 175mb video file ‘cause BayanTel just can’t keep me connected even for at least 15 minutes straight :rolleyes:

And when I try to call cust serv, ayun, palaging busy. Nag-ri-ring nga, wala namang sumasagot. :rolleyes: What the hell’s the problem with them lately?

[m_ke2]

I have been a bayantel DSL user for two years, it has been great before but the past 2-3weeks of my internet has been connect/disconnect, even in early morning and customer service line is always busy.

Anyway, I have decided to cut it in the next few days, and I have to decide where to switch, which is the lesser evil: globe or pldt?:confused:

For me, they're all the same. It also depends in your area. I've tried PLDT before, same sh*t as BayanDSL. :grrr:

[rubberr_ducky]

Hmmmm. One week nang ganito connection ko (bayantel-qc area). 20kbps - 100+kbps from 10am - 5pm. Ibinalik ko na router ko at buti naman wala ng username/pw error pero speed issue pa ren.:bop:

[naia]

we're having the same issue w bayantel at the office. weee

[bugzy]

Ang ganda na ng service ng pldt ngayon! Pag nag report ka ng problem mo for example today (dsl or landline) the next may pupunta agad and ittext ka about dun sa name nung mag aayos to confirm na may pupunta.

Ok na ulit DSL ko! back to normal! Manila area here di ko lang sure kung ganon din service sa ibang area.

[delphic_oracle]

Guys, what ISP can you recommend for those in the Pasig area, Ortigas Extension? :)

[gadgeteer]

:grrr: sama naman ng service ng PLDT DSL sa amin. It's the after-sales service that sucks.

[fighter24]

guys yung 990 pldt dsl or any isp, kasama naba for example sa 990 yung VAT?? kasi i have globe broadband 995 monthly pero dumating 1ST BILL ko 1,187pesos with VAT.

answer po pls. i try emailing them walang nagrereply pero nung nagaaply ako sa kanila hours ago palang nag email back agad. mga mukhang pera

so FAR OK naman ang globe wireless dito samin, wala pa akong naeexperience na putol putol at SUPER bagal na connection, its between 400kbps-1100kbps plan 512 ako data only.

[i_love_black]

I'm waiting for Globe to be available here in our area, bago pa lang kasi itong subdivision, so wala pang mga poste na pwede pagkabitan ang Globe, cables etc... But once available na, goodbye SMART! Decided nga ko magpakabit sana ng globe kahit stuck ako until November sa smart but unfortunately, wala pa dito sa area namin. Hopefully before end of this year meron na...

Often, pinapasakit ng smart ulo ko sa madalas nilang disconnection. Hindi lilipas ang isang linggo na hindi ako nadidisconnect. To add, disconnection lasts for hours, minimum of 4-6 hours. Sometimes, 10-12 hours!
I depend on the internet, I need this for my work that's why it's a big loss if my online doesn't work for hours. Customer service can be reached but they would give me same answers. Kabisado ko na nga isasagot nila. All I just tell them everytime tatawag ako is to improve their service, ganito pa sasabihin ko "you know in this business, you have lots of competitor, sinasabi ko ito di lang para sa mga subscribers nyo, kundi para din sa inyo. Paki-relay na lang ito kung saan man dapat".

Hai, so far, ganun pa rin. Kumulimlim lang wala na kong connection!

[gratz]

after a month of waiting, PLDT finally installed our DSL connection. we subscribed to the 999 plan. (fighter24: on top on this, may 12% vat)

i was just wondering, how come, sa connection ko (the one on the lower right corner ng tab) it says 100Mbps. totoo ba to? ksi i took the speedtest and here is my result.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/304306076.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

ok ba to for 1Mbps connection? sorry diko kasi alam eh... thanks

[TravelBug]

1Mbps = 1000kbps, based on the above you are running at about 25% if your subscribed speed. Bagal yan dudeyou should get at leadt 800kb/s. Ignore the 100Mbps reading, that's the maximum speed your network card can hold, not necessarily the speed of your internet connection. Just think of it as a huge pipe na daanan ng internet connection mo.

[yellowribbon]

my sister just got her Globe Visibility kit and tested it on youtube and other graphics-heavy site, so far okay naman.

[yellowribbon]

^^ oops DSL ba usapan dito/ hehe sorry my bad

[gratz]

thanks TravelBug...

I just had my bayan dsl connected 2 weeks ago...grabeeh..eversince puro sakit na ng ulo nakuha ko...if ever na ka connect ako pinakamatagal na ang 30 mins tapos madisconnect ulit ako...yung modem ko eh zte tapos mawawala na lang ang internet light pag na dc ako......pag nag ping test ako laging failed....hay naku....pupunta daw ang technician bukas...pag di pa naayos di ko babayaran ang bills ko then lipat na ako pldt...ewan ko sa valenzuela area ako pero yung mga kilala kong mga taga qc maganda naman ang connection.....ok ang speed at walang intermittent connection....sa mga taga valenzuela dito
may problema din ba kayo sa bayan dsl niyo?

[doh]

ala pa din tatalo sa globe pag dating sa worst isp, subukan nyong magreport ng problem, swerte na kung within a week maayos nila. standard "testing" nila kapag may problem is 3-5 days which is kalokohan. swerte na kapag naayos nila connection niyo after 6 days.

Ganyan din problem noong unang buwan ng BayanDSL dito sa amin. After ilang months bumigay modem. Pinalitan nila ng Huawei, mula noon di na napuputol. Madalang na madalang. Try mo ask Bayan na palitan modem mo.

[angelburn]

guys, ano mare-recommend niyo na DSL sa area ng timog near GMA 7? thanks. im moving to that area soon and im wondering kung ano ok na connection dun. Thanks!!!

[bicst8fem]

guys...ask ko lang..meron ba dito na digitel ang gamit? ang kulet kasi nila thrice na tumawag samen just to promote their bundle service..eh naka smartbro na ***..

maganda ba service nila?
wala ba sila mga hidden charges na bubulaga sa billing?
speed?

[fighter24]

pangit ng globewireless ngayon....ang bagal!!!!!

[globesucks]

Which ISP do you suggest for those in BF Commonwealth, QC? Globe is insufferable. Slow speed, stupid CSRs, dumb tech guys, etc.http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/images/smilies/peace.gif

[khayec11]

anong magandang ISP sa muntinlupa area.thanks =)

[chappy86]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/311075177.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

I have 1 mbps courtesy of PLDT. Very satisfied.
2 downtimes so far (both less than an hour).

I'm from digos(near davao)

[mike73]

PLDT and Bayantel suck I must say.They keep on advertising their DSL service and when you apply they will say I'm sorry sir but we have no facilities in your area. I also got the same thing from Globe so at present I am using Smartbro which although not perfect but I have no choice.

[NeoSonick]

There is no such thing as "better ISP". Each provider has its own problem. I'm currently shopping around for unlimited wireless internet. Here's what I discovered:

Globe and Smart don't have any unlimited wireless internet using USB modem. Globe Visibility offers limited hours (40, 60, and 100 hours), so does Smart Bro (40 hours). But Sun Cellular has. Plan 999 for unlimited wireless 3G internet, but limited to business areas in Metro Manila. They may have been trying to upgrade their 3G facilities this time kasi nahuhuli na sila.

I applied na for Sun Broadband Wireless. I'll know the application results by Friday. I have a bad feeling about this Sun service. Good luck na lang sa kin.

[feistyradical]

How's BayanDSL and PLDT DSL in the Scout Areas, Tomas Morato, Timog, Mother Ignacia areas?

[NeoSonick]

I got my Sun Broadband Wireless na. They finally approved my application. After configuring the USB modem to maximize the 3G signal here in Makati City, I now have these speeds.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/311836973.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Tested 7:01pm. Ayala Avenue going to Buendia then EDSA, Makati City. (Yes, i'm surfing the web in the cab.)

In fairness, okay ang Sun Cellular 3G.

Pero teka, hwag muna kayong mag-subscribe... kasi baka mag-clog bigla ang UMTS/HSDPA network nila. GSM/EDGE muna ang i-clog nyo. Hehehehehe!

[kookoorookookoo]

sino sa inyo naka global destiny cable internet? ok ba?

[shinigamikonta]

anung ok na DSL service sa San Pedro, Laguna area???

im contemplating on globe, bayan, or sky e... :confused:

[contrarian]

sino sa inyo naka global destiny cable internet? ok ba?

i'm a destiny subscriber for 2 years now. ok naman so far. once or twice pa lang ako nagkaproblema tapos naaayos din within the day. yung technical service niya mabilis ang response unlike sa iba na aabutin ng siyam-siyam. ang speed range ay 800-1500 kbps upload, 400-500 kbps download (mas mabilis pag non-peak/unholy hours).

P999 per month. separate ang cable tv account.

[contrarian]

^ correction. 800-1500 kbps pala ang download at 400-500 kbps ang upload.

[haberdasher]

am with destiny and i got no problem wit it..mabilis nga ang tech support nila..they'll even call you in your mobile

[im_ur_angel]

Ako lang yata nasa Bayantel DSL sa lugar namin kaya sobrang bagal lang. Kapag peak hours, hindi tumataas sa 500kbps ang connection ko, nasa 384 the most, half ng Plan768 ko :bawl: Kapag off-peak naman, the Speed On Demand thing just helps my connection reach it's maximum speed: 768kpbs. ON OFF-PEAK :mad:

Nakakatawa pa kasi everytime uulan, I experience error 768 tapos ipapa-reset ng tech reps nila ang modem ko (w/c has this no-tunr-off policy kasi nde na sya madedetect ng system ko once napatay siya at sa sobrang routine ng error na ito, alam ko na ang troubleshooting spiels nila) tapos after mga 10-15mins ng T/S, sasabihin nila na umuulan kasi, baka daw nabasa yung unit nila sa area namin. Dun na ako nagiging sarcastic na "bakit hindi nyo kasi payungan?". Pissed off na ako pero ang tiyaga ko kasi makipag-usap sa customer service nila. :bop:

In fairness to BayanDSL, ang turn-around ng tech-help is 24hours talaga. One time hindi ako maka-konek, after 6 hours andun na yung technician to check my connection. Kaya sana lang laging sa umaga masisira ang connection ko para before the day ends gawa na. :D

I wish I can switch to ZPDee or Cable Internet (been meaning to try it eversince) kaso hindi available sa area ko sa Manila e. Ayaw ko na ng lock-in period. I have yet to inquire sa MyDestiny. Sa store pa naman nakain mga contractors nila~

[white rabbit]

^ wag ka mag-subscribe sa ZPDee, mas maganda nga sa destiny. *okay*

[TravelBug]

Sakit na din ulo ko sa Bayantel. Kung peak hours gumagapang ako. Bumabagsak sa 100kbps ang download ko samantalang 2.5MBps ang binabayaran ko. Naabot ko lang yung subscribed speed ko pag 1AM na hanggang 8AM. Inaway ko na ang customer service minsan. Sabi ko singilin nila ako sa 2,699 na rate between 1AM and 8AM. Pro-rate nila ang charges between 8AM hanggang 1AM the following day. Naiintindihan ko daw ba na may bandwidth sharing na nangyayari. Natural! Pero kung sa 100kbps na connection, may natutuwa ba dun? Sobrang bad trip!

[Geass]

PLDT's support sucks. but their DSL service is great IMO.

[white rabbit]

^ marami din akong kilala, friends and officemates na nagrereklamo sa bayantel. pati smart at globe bulok din daw.

mag-destiny na tayo. :D

[|wyatt|]

Hi peepz,

I need help, right now, I am currently posting this using my Globe broadband connection.

I just got it installed and this is like the 3rd day of a hell-like experience with this service.

I am just wondering why am I having an intermittent disconnection. For the past 3 days, I have been experiencing nothing but intermittent disconnection. Like after 15-20 minutes, it would get disconnected. I had to go to the modem configuration and click on connect.

It was actually better when I was still using dial-up though it's way slower, at least, I had no problems about disconnection.

I already called Globe tech 5 times, and I was already on the brink of asking for a supervisor. They even had to tell me to monitor my connection when the heck I got NO CONNECTION! Told me to monitor it and TAT would be 3-5 days. They're putting me on a dead-end situation here.

An on-site tech already went here and did some t/s, configured modem and all that. It was running smoothly so I thought everything should be okay.

Lo and behold, I got "page can't be displayed".

What the hell is happening?

WHY AM I HAVING AN INTERMITTENT DISCONNECTION?

Help.

[Impenneteri]

^^ your ping is too high for a less than 50 mile distance test site.

That's why you're having intermittent connection because it's taking some time for your internet connection to response.

Is it a wired connection or the wireless one just like smartbro?

[im_ur_angel]

^sana baliktad ang download sa upload mo..heheheh

I'm planning to switch to plan 1299 of pldt kasi my friend ang bilis ng internet nila at 2 pa pc nila. Nung bumisita ako the other pc is downloading 2 files at 40 to 50 KB/s while the other PC is playing conquer online..

Thanks for the response.

^ I agree. I've already called 6 times for the same issue.

Pldt MyDSL Plan 990 is still the best

[gentle_touchee]

bakit ba sa PLDT kelangan may PLDT Landline? kahit data only.

also, saan ba ang merong Destiny internet? Destiny cable tv meron kami pero wala daw cable internet..sayang..

[hrdnox_12]

sakin ok *** smart bro plan 999. although ndi siya super bilis pero ok nmn *** ppno. sulit na. hehehe. nkkpgdl ako ng torrent file na ndi nmn sobrang bagal.ndi rin sobrang bilis.hehe.tska my opendns nmn e.pampabilis ng net.

Has anyone tried the new Skycable Broadband?

[b@mbooo]

bakit ba sa PLDT kelangan may PLDT Landline? kahit data only.

para maka tipid sila sa installation cost dahil meron nang existing phone line.. pero ipapasa parin nila sayo ang malaking installation cost kahit may phone ka na.

[metropolitan]

SkyBroadband is the relaunched ZPdee cable internet

[Milliardo]

Have Globe DSL connected today, and I'm comparing it with MyDSL. Some observations so far: loading time is slower than PLDT. I have to reload twice before getting the page I want; with MyDSL, I only occasionally have to do that. I'm still testing between the two to find out if I will make the definite switch or retain MyDSL.

[zei emu]

i suggest you retain your myDSL :)

[Milliardo]

i suggest you retain your myDSL :)

Yeah, after reading this thread, I am actually wary of Globe, but we'll see how things are. So far the pages load slowly, but once it is loaded transferring to another link on the same site (say, PEX) is quite fast.

[shi_zilin]

My brother has a Globe broadband (cable only) connection in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna. What I can say about it is that the service simply sucks. It's especially worse in the afternoons and evenings when we would experience disconnections almost every 10 minutes. And of course, the downloading time is sooo slow.

this is the same thing that I've been experiencing since day one, i have to refresh my modem configuration every time i get disconnected.

Day 2 (or 3) of my experience with Globe--it is slower than myDSL. My test would be to open graphic intensive sites like Level-Up Games, and with myDSL it took all of 5 seconds or so. With Globe it's like you're using dial-up--it takes forever to load (30 seconds and counting, and actually going up to a full minute). It's even worse loading video from such sites as YouTube. So far, my assessment is myDSL performs better.

[feistyradical]

how much is it per month?

myDSL is still the most stable Internet provider i guess..i haven't had any connection problems as of now.downloading time is fast, video streaming and page loading..all went smoothly with my DSL.plus the 990 plan is bundled with unlimited landline+unlimited internet which to me is super sulit.imagine just 300 a month for unlimited fast, hassle-free internet..*okay*

pwede kaya ang PLDT Prepaid line, not yung prepaid sim, line talaga sya kaso prepaid, for PLDT MyDSL? I actually tried applying, mag 1 week na. no email acknowledgment man lang from Pldt. Sa Globe naman, merong email acknowledgment pero wala pangreply/tumatawag for almost 2 weeks na.

yun lang talaga maganda sa Smartbroken. alam nyo bang tumawag lang me sa *1888, then i paid via internet banking the 1k, then kabit agad kinabukasan. yun nga lang di ko na type ang 384KBPS na speed for almost 1k!!

Firms now more aware of blogger backlash

IRATE CUSTOMERS are turning to the Internet to get back at companies for rendering poor service, writing blogs and spreading e-mails about their experiences with a newfound source of consumer empowerment.

Firms like Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) and Cebu Pacific Air, often the subject of angry entries, are so far treating the blogger backlash as a minor concern considering that the Internet is hardly a source of accurate information, but acknowledge that it is a problem nonetheless.

Internet penetration in the Philippines is relatively small but experts note that those who have Web access are also those who have the spending power.

Nielsen Media Research estimates point to some 200,000 local bloggers to date, from just 40,000 in 2007, amplified by the popularity of social networking sites where pages can be created quickly complete with photos, video, and instant reactions.

The number of local Internet users is expected to rise to 24 million this year from 14 million in 2006 and only two million in 2000, with access and personal computers becoming cheaper and more accessible.

New technological trends, blogging in particular, are inevitable and uncontrollable, said Ateneo de Manila communications professor and marketing expert Nanette Franco Diyco.

"It’s a very modern form of communication. It’s very interesting and people can do it with terrific freedom. But by its very nature, it can be abused," she said, pointing to a surge of negative write-ups about products and services.

She cited the possibility of companies employing "bloggers" to write positive things about them as well as the danger of some businesses actually hiring people to write negative blogs about their competitors.

"It’s very open to sabotage. If you really analyze it, it’s open to lack of ethics. This is a challenge to companies but not really a public relations (PR) disaster. It can be counteracted by other PR activities or communication," Mr. Diyco said.

Globally, people now tend to rely more on consumer opinions on the Internet than on television and radio advertising, said US-based Forrester Research, Inc. In a new book published by Harvard Business Press, Forrester analysts describe the phenomenon as a "ground-swell."

"Customers are writing about your products on blogs and recutting your commercials on YouTube. They’re defining you on Wikipedia and ganging up on you in social networking sites like Facebook. These are all elements of a social phenomenon — the groundswell — that has created a permanent, long-lasting shift in the way the world works. Most companies see it as a threat," authors Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff write.

For Cebu Pacific and PLDT, negative blogs do not spell a marketing disaster but are a PR concern.

PLDT spokesman Ramon R. Isberto said the company, while aware of bloggers criticizing its "unreliable" Internet service PLDT myDSL, was finding it difficult to rein in tide of negative opinions.

"There’s nothing much you can do about it. You can’t control the blog. What you can do is to respond to whatever complaints are being aired and communicate with the persons airing the complaints. It’s a customer service issue," he said.

But blogs can also be a source of information to help address customer service issues. "It’s a PR concern. As in all PR issues, what matters is not the problem but how you respond to it," Mr. Isberto stressed.

The virtual attacks seems to be more persistent for budget carrier Cebu Pacific, with bloggers often complaining of delayed or cancelled flights and the difficulty of getting refunds. Some vow never to fly Cebu Pacific again despite bargain seat prices.

Jacinto "Jon" Limjap, Jr., who has a blogging platform at http://blog.kapenilattex.com, said entering "Cebu Pacific experience" in popular search engine Google will quickly result in a flood of negative blogs about the Gokongwei-led company.

The blog entries were written by people who don’t know each other and were only looking for avenues to voice their concerns, he said in an interview.

"Blogging is a doubled-edged sword which can be a powerful tool to disseminate information and get feedback but it can definitely be abused. Some could use it for character assassination or to defame a certain company. But then again, we should also consider the other side — many of the concerns may be valid," Mr. Limjap said.

The write-ups don’t go unnoticed, Cebu Pacific Vice-President for Marketing Candice A. Iyog said. The company actually reviews blog entries, both positive and negative, to get information and help improve products and services, she said.

"It’s a PR concern in itself but to actually make it a PR concern that we act on directly, maybe not. Blogs are forms of self-expression, there’s no way of controlling it. It would be ridiculous to come up with plan to control it. It’s hard to base an entire PR campaign just on blogs," she said.

Cebu Pacific prefers that complaints be sent to "proper avenues" such as feedback forms or letters.

"Blogs are good source of information — if you want to see what people are talking about but to make it your sole source of data gathering for product enhancement would be a bit lacking. Our main focus is on complaints directed to Cebu Pacific," Ms. Iyog said.

Early this month, a contest was launched for bloggers to write about tourist destinations in the Philippines and their Cebu Pacific experiences, offering free round-trip plane tickets.

The rules, however, state that blog posts "must not contain negative reviews of the airline or any harmful content pertaining to the airline in any manner."

"There’s really propaganda. I’ve seen other successful blogging campaigns like those of SM Hypermart and Coke Zero, which did not have the same stipulation. Obviously, the contest was meant to counter negative feedback about them," Mr. Limjap claimed.

Cebu Pacific spokesman Don Romulo Gregorio T. Orense said "It’s not a Cebu Pacific contest," but admitted that it was a sponsor of the blogging platform which organized the tilt.

At the end of the day, new media outlets can always work to a company’s advantage, Ms. Diyco said, adding companies who know better won’t even bother to respond to negative blogs.

"It’s a minor PR problem. There are good things about these blogs but they’re also dangerous so readers should be cautious and should not believe everything they read unless they’ve experienced it themselves," she said.

For his part, Mr. Isberto said he was also counting on people who frequently go online to spread word if a company is able to resolve a certain concern.

"Hopefully word will get around, too, that we are doing our job so people get a balanced view. But we have to remember that in today’s world, technology is a fact of life, it’s something we all have to face and respond to," he said.

Mediaquest Holdings, Inc., owned by the PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund, has a minority stake in BusinessWorld.

I wish may lumabas na super competent na competitor, na magiging legitimate threat sa existing ISPs, para matauhan naman sila.

I just got a text from Smartbro yesterday about repairing my base station and now here's my new speed:

I've read somewhere that they're increasing the speed for all smartbro subscriber to 1.8 mbps (to be confirmed though).

The speed of 1.8 mbps is for the moment for new subscribers and will cost 1,500. I just called up smartbro a while ago asking if I could upgrade my plan and they said as of the moment it is not possible.

[lolcakes]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/342879337.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

is this a joke or what? Im getting like 50kbps download speed but this speedtest tells me that I should get 300+kbps?

[ale828]

Sobra sama ng connection the past few months sa Destiny. Ang hirap pa tawagan yung customer service nila.
I hope maayos yung connection speed pag dating ng technicians nila.

I'm still waiting though coz their main competitor, globe, has plans (like 1 mbps for 999) that are more enticing than what smartbro is offering. I'm sure theyr'e gonna do something about that especially after hearing a lot of rants about poor service.

Well globe better do something about it. I have tried twice to apply with globe for their broadband service and was denied because they do not have facilities for broadband service in my area. Same with PLDTDSL and bayantel. It irritates me very much that these companies advertise their DSL service and yet when you want to apply they will tell you sorry in your area there are no facilities.

It seems like parang wala naman talagang "perfect" na ISP dito sa Pilipinas. Some say Globe Broadband is not any good, others say PLDY MyDSL s*cks, SmartBro, and all.

Para tuloy swertihan lang to. Hmm

i have one.so far so good. :) you only have to pay approximately 300 for one month unlimited internet since 990 is bundled already with your postpaid landline..unlike smartbro and globe..internet only right?

[Altwegg]

Which part of Manila are you from?

PLDT myDSL Plan 990 - so far so good, better than our previous isp provider, medyo tinutopak nga lang minsan pero ok na din hehe

Switch to SkyBroadband.....

================================================

Surf with the faster and better SkyBroadband

The leading cable TV service provider in the country, SkyCable, has a new cable internet service called SkyBroadband, the fastest residential broadband Internet service in the country today. This amazing cable internet connection can provide up to 12 mbps download speed, which is four times faster than any residential DSL. This is because SkyBroadband uses cable lines with higher bandwidth that can carry more data, allowing faster web navigation and downloading of big files, than DSL.

The rates are very reasonable. What amazed me the most are the 6 (P3999/month) and 12 (P5999/month) mbps packages. These so far, are the fastest speeds and the best residential internet rates in the country today. What’s more, SkyCable Gold and SkyVoice Plan 100 are already included in these rates – at no extra charge! For low bandwidth users, there are plans for you as well. For only P999 per month, you already get unlimited internet connection at speed of 1.5 mbps for SkyCable subscribers and 1 mbps for non-SkyCable subscribers. Next to this is Plan 3 mbps (or 2 mbps for non-Sky subscribers) for only P1999 per month.

SkyBroadband subscribers also get discounts on their SkyCable bill (for Plans 3 and 1.5mbps). Also as an initial offering, SkyBroadband is giving a 15-day free trial for SkyCable subscribers with at least 1-year tenure and in good credit standing so they can experience for themselves the significant difference of SkyBroadband.

If you have questions, you may call their 24/7 Customer Service Hotline at 631-0000 or send a text message to (0917) 631-0000 and (0918) 638-1000. You may also visit www.skybroadband.com.ph for more information.

sabi sa akin kailangan pa rin daw magbayad,kainis, sana pwedeng wag na lang di ba..yung pinsan ko nagpalagay ng 990 PLDT+landline (384kbps) ok yung line nya, lampas pa nga sa 384 eh, while yung amin na dapat 512 kbps..never na lumampas ng 450kbps..nung tinanong ko yung technician, parang nangg*g*go lang eh..sabi "ma'am bumili na lang kayo ulit ng 2nd modem kasi mas maganda yung mga bagong labas, mas mabilis saka masira man yung una nyong modem, may pamalit na kayo dahil 1 year warranty lang yung luma." pareho lang kaya yung modem namin..hay..

kung titingnan ko naman ang iba like smart bro or globe visibility, gusto ko sana wireless connection na pwede mabitbit kahit saan para pag uuwi kami ng province eh may magamit..di ko lang sure kung maganda naman ba connection ng mga yun sa may cavite area..

hay, ano ba talaga magandang ISP??

[feistyradical]

Wow, sa metro manila yan?!

How much?

Saka parang there doesn't seem to be a lot of buzz about Eastern.

Who among you guys are using Eastern aside from the pexer below?

@Thread

Di ko na binasa all 45 pages haha. But here's my say on the topic. I've been using My Destiny for as long as I could remember (4 years?), and its pretty good in my opinion. The plan 999 (or w/e you call it) can now reach a peak of 1 mbps connection. Stable but slows down/disconnects 20-30% of the time. The better 2mbps static from My Destiny is better though. Up to 250 kbps download speed (compared to the 14 kbps I get from plan 999) and never slows down.

Globe wireless broadband sucks though. My experience was, it was just a bit faster than dial up (haha) at the same price as 1mbps of My Destiny.

[Altwegg]

My PLDT DSL Plan 990 has just been installed. So far, so good. I'll be going to Smart later to have my SmartBro disconnected.

[dujon]

bakit yung globe dsl sa tita ko hindi maka download sa rapidshare? at nawawalan ng connection every 30mins - 1hr? normal ba talaga yun sa globe? samin plan 990 pldt sa kanila equvalent yung price pero 512 yata.

[beachyone]

Kumusta ang PLDT DSL? How's customer service?

[feistyradical]

If one uses BayanDSL, can one easily download in torrents - or do they throttle torrents just like what they do with SkyBroadband?

[Altwegg]

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with PLDT DSL!

[Altwegg]

Haaay.

Not even the agents whom I talked to the previous days thought it could be a modem problem. I sent a text message to the guy who installed my DSL and thankfully, he went back to our house just today and isolated the problem to the modem. He got me a new modem and now I'm not having a hard time surfing the net.

Poor PLDT customer service!

[JohnnyBBad]

Does SkyBroadband really throttle torrents? I'm on the 1.5mbps plan, and if I have a lot of fast seeders, I easily get speeds between 160-180 Kbps on my downloads.

I simply portforwarded my router as instructed, and voila, no problem at all.

[beachyone]

How do you portforward a router? Please help as I find that torrents downloading is dial-up slow.

I'm a Bayantel DSL subscriber for 3 years now and I'm loving my internet! I first started at 256kbps @ Plan 899 during year 2006. The thing that I liked about bayantel is its stability. I rarely get disconnected from the net. Right now, they boosted their internet speed. 768kbps @ Plan 899. It even turns into 1068kbps with Speed-On-Demand(SOD) which is now permanent for all subscribers for free.

I'm happy with Skybroadband. I subscribed to Plan 999. They gave me a 15 day trial sometime last February and I was satisfied naman. What I like about them is, when I call them to inform them of my problem, I don't have to wait too long before it gets resolved. They send over a technical person within 24 hours. Nag-down yung internet namin twice since January. Technical problem and an upgrade, but they were solved within a few hours lang.

You can avail of their 15-day promo. Just call them. And then kung ayaw mo, just inform them BEFORE the end of the promo.

[Galactus-1]

Bwiset nga yang myDSL ng PLDT na yan...

I applied sa PLDT (SM North EDSA Cyberzone). Ang sabi 3 days lang daw, pero since approaching Holy Week, baka umabot hanggang April 17 ang installation.

Well, April 17 lang sila tumawag para i-sked yung installation nila either on April 20 or 21. Dumating nung 21, pero bopols yung techie nila, di na-install. Babalik daw bukas, 22. Well, April 30 na ngayon, ni tawag on installation date, wala pa rin. I've been bugging their call center every other day for updates, sabi tatawag daw. Eh until now, zero.

Pag di pa sila pumunta next week, pa-cancel ko na lang.

Go to hell, PLDT! :grrr:

[jason_10]

Again worst pa rin ang globe wireless broadband. Never avail of their service.

So far the best pa rin ang Bayantel. Sayang I availed of Globe because they're cheaper pero I got what I paid for. Poor performance.

Hi,

I'm a beginner sa internet. hope you don't mind please explain in laymen's term. ang bayantel ba is best saan location? Valenzuela? North Caloocan? Malabon?

We are currently smart bro user. ON & Off kung mahangin, paulan, umuulan, lalo na siguro kung bagyo. I phoned the customer service (CS) and advised me to check the LAN, replug the socket and etc. so everytime off ang internet ganun gagawin ko? Inconvenient on the part of their customers. CS told me na pupuntahan daw yung site to check up the antenae. Hay base on my observation on and off talaga pag ganon ang weather.

okay ba ang bayantel kahit mahangin, umuulan sa labas?

Thank you sa mga sasagot.

what's a ping?ano effect sa connection ko?

[bluethehero]

Hay naku, I'm a believer of the Globe brand, pero how can things go wrong in your billing?

January 22, 2008, I availed of the Globe wireless broadband. It was installed in our house that day. However, I was made to believe that the wireless broadband is portable, and that it was standalone. But a landline was still installed. Tapos, may wireless landline na nga ako, naka-wire pa sya to an external antenna. :lol:

I canceled it on the 4th day, January 26, 2008 since I had work and had no extra time. I canceled it within the FREE TRIAL period, so I was made to believe na wala ako babayaran.

Pero for 3-4 months (until around May 2008), nakakatanggap pa rin ako ng bill. syempre nilaban ko sa Globe Business Center every time yun. Until the 4th/5th month, they said na terminated na yung account.

However, to my surprise, JUST TODAY, may balance pa raw ako sa terminated account amounting to Php694.12. Hello??? Bakit ko ito babayaran eh hindi ko naman nagamit? At hello??? 2009 na po.

Alam ko kakarampot lang na pera yan, pero why pay for something that they should not earn? Swerte naman nila to receive an unearned revenue from me. :lol:

[sugar2578]

hi, tanong lang po... ano po bang internet provider na prepaid (like globe tattoo and smartbro) ang nakaka-connect sa ym? thanks

Hay nainis na kami. Kahapon nagapply kami sa Bayantel. Ang sabi next week daw. Sana naman totoo. Please lang.

Question lang guys. Tatlo kasing laptop ang ginagamit dito sa bahay.
Sa brother ko, sa akin and sa parents ko. Pwede namang isang internet connection lang diba? Kahit tatlo kaming gumagamit sabay sabay?

Yup, buy a wireless router (at the very least Wireless-G spec na).

If the 3 laptops are wifi-capable, well and good, minor configuration na lang sa settings. Pero, pag hindi (e.g. old laptops), you have to buy pa wireless network adapters. Otherwise, you need UTP cables and RJ-45 connectors para ikabit yung router dun sa laptops. Problem is kung di ka marunong mag-crimp ng cables, at may special crimping tool pa dyan.

ano yung PING?

[Galactus-1]

(from Wikipedia)

ping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article needs additional citations for verification.
Please help improve this article by adding reliable references. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (July 2008)

For other uses, see Ping (disambiguation).
ping is a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network; it is also used to self test the network interface card of the computer, or as a speed test. It works by sending ICMP “echo request” packets to the target host and listening for ICMP “echo response” replies. Ping measures the round-trip time[1] and records any packet loss, and prints when finished a statistical summary of the echo response packets received, the minimum, mean, max and in some versions the standard deviation of the round trip time.

The word ping is also frequently used as a verb or noun, where it is usually incorrectly used to refer to the round-trip time, or measuring the round-trip time.

History

Mike Muuss wrote the program in December, 1983, as a tool to troubleshoot odd behavior on an IP network. He named it after the pulses of sound made by a sonar, since its operation is analogous to active sonar in submarines, in which an operator issues a pulse of energy at the target, which then bounces from the target and is received by the operator. (The pulse of energy in sonar is analogous to a network packet in ping). [1][2]

The usefulness of ping in assisting the "diagnosis" of Internet connectivity issues was impaired from late in 2003, when a number of Internet Service Providers began filtering out ICMP Type 8 (echo request) messages at their network boundaries.

This was partly due to the increasing use of ping for target reconnaissance, for example by Internet worms such as Welchia that flood the Internet with ping requests in order to locate new hosts to infect. Not only did the availability of ping responses leak information to an attacker, it added to the overall load on networks, causing problems for routers across the Internet.

Although RFC 1122 prescribes that any host must accept an echo-request and issue an echo-reply in return, this is supposedly a security risk. Thus, hosts that no longer follow this standard are frequent on the public Internet.

i have a friend whose currently encountering bandwidth throttling - apparently, this is stated on Globe's TOU.

^kelan pa yang TOU na yan? parang wala akong nabasang ganyan nung nag subscribe ako.

And ever since last year when I subscribed to their service, never na restrict yung bandwidth ng torrents ko. Ngayon lang nila ginawa. Looks like its time to switch providers.

[ballerz]

The thing that happened to Globe Broadband, their P2P download has been capped to 20%. Sky users, can you confirm if SkyBroadband has been capped too? I'm downloading a torrent now with alot of seeders compared to leechers to test weather we've been capped too. Before, I am getting at least 180+kbps on my torrents. Now, only 20+/- kbps. What happened??? Hope Sky hasn't capped their downloads too. If ever they do I will bust their heads off. :grrr:

Magkano naman kaya :bop: Or baka puro hype nanaman yun mga binibigay nilang speed tapos pag nag subscribe na eh iba naman ang makuhang speed at kung ano anong palusot nanaman ang sabihin ng CSR nila :bop::glee:

oo nga, yung per nila for fiber-to-home ay ipang upgrade na lang nila ng existing facilities nila para magkaroon na ng ADSL2+ (up to 24mbps download)

Lintek na PLDT yan! When we applied dun sa SM City North EDSA outlet nila, sabi ng staff dun wala daw installation fee, pero may charge yung modem router na P1,200. Verified it twice, ZERO installation fee nga daw.

Well, I just received my billing, and surprise, surprise, may kasamang P500 installation charge. Buti sana kung may ininstall, eh binigay lang sa akin yung router, they turned it on, tapos yun na. Plug & play lang naman yun sa PC tsaka sa phone jack.

Jeez, ang mahal naman ng delivery charge nila!

Tried complaining sa 172, useless din. Ang ***** nung CSR, punta na lang daw ako sa PLDT Office, wala daw number na puwedeng tawagan. Hunghang talaga, so ibig sabihin pag may complaint ako sa billing, kelangan pa ako magpunta sa office nila?! Tumahimik yung loko, walang masagot. Mga bobo!!!

Hi, I have a dilemma among smart, globe, and destiny. kasi sa smart, 384 kbps lang ang maximum connection na ino-offer nila, sa globe naman 1 mbps. pero may nabasa naman ako dito sa pex na naging 20% nlng daw *** p2p nila? sa destiny naman gusto ko rin kasi malapit lang sa bahay, by the way I reside in Santa Mesa, Manila. near v. mapa :)
I hope there will be few responses, thanks!

Hello guys, i have some questions.
Kasi finally nakasubscribe nako sa pldt mydsl xprience 999 lang from globe wireless na sobrang palpak, anyway, kasi i want to use this subscription sa isa pang laptop, ano ba ang dapat kung gawin, what kind of router ang bibilhin ko and sana step by step procedure po sana, thank you po.

[kunanagel]

ok ba sa Youtube yung 768 kbps download speed? hindi sya mag bubuffer

[astrobubuyog]

basta wag lang kayo mag-avail ng digitel na internet. yun ang pinakawalang kwentang ISP na alam ko. 2 weeks na kaming walang connection and landline. tawag ako nang tawag sa CSR at local office nila sa amin. palaging sinasabi "pasensya ka na sir, follow up na lang po namin sa mga tech." o kaya "sir, on-hand na po ng mga technician namin yung request for repair." pero di pa din pumupunta hanggang ngayon. the worst customer service!!!

so guys, help yourselves. do not avail their landline + internet packages. more so, do not avail anything from them.

:grrr:
