What’s the best Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the Philippines?
Ok, I’ve been offline for 2 days straight “AGAIN” because of Smart Bro’s Awesome Internet Connection and I can’t blame myself of choosing it as my ISP due to the fact that I already knew that it really sucks, still, I made my dumb choice to go for Smart Bro.
All Internet Service Providers had their own “Negative Reviews” that’s why I can’t decide myself which of them is better than the other. I only know few ISPs here in the Philippines (excluding Smart Bro): Globelines Broadband, SkyBroadband,Sky Cable’s ZPDee, Sky Internet, DigitelOne DSL, Bayantel DSL, Meridian Telekoms Broadband and PLDT MyDSL.
What I’m trying to do now is to solicit comments from you, my dear readers, of what’s the best Internet Service Provider in the Philippines from your own experience because I’m planning to dump Smart Bro and move to a brand new ISP after suffering internet havoc for 48 hours straight.
Hoping to hear from you guys…
UPDATE 07/27/09: Here’s a top 10 list of Internet Service Providers in the Philippines based on SpeedTest.net. I can only name two commercial ISPs in the screenshot below: Sky Broadband and Sky Internet (I’m not sure if these two are now merged. Others also said that Sky Internet is the same with Bayan DSL). Most of the ISPs in the list are private. If you’re a DOST employee, you’re very lucky to experience the fastest upload and download speed in the Philippines. Here’s the screenshot of the Top 10 ISPs:

i think it also depends on the area.. i’m using smartbro canopy for over a year now and ok naman siya.. 2 times pa lang yata ako tumatawag sa customer care to report a problem. what sucks is the smartbro usb modem… and i heard that smart is going to release a LTE USB modem which will give speeds up to 50 mbps daw.. hmmmmm! thanks mr jehzlau for starting this blog.. it has been my hobby to read the comments here!

PLDT DSL and smart bro both sucks. Yan ang gamit namin dati. Una PLDT DSL, masasabi mo talaga toh sa una “Hooo bilis!” pero habang tumatagal, may araw na 12-24 ay nawawala ang connection ng DSL. May prob din ang PLDT DSL kapag IE gamit mo, kasi minsan hindi nagloload kaya kelngan pang irefresh ng irefresh. mabibitin ka lalo na kapag nanonood ka.
Take note, may computer shop pa kami nun ha. kaya puro mura sa telepono ang naririnig samen ng mga taga PLDT ampff sila. :shock:
Dahil putik na nalugi kami sa PLDT, tinry namin ang bagong labas na SMART BRO. I think naka 1 year din kami. Smart bro and dial-up are equal in speed WTF. Mabilis pa ang ISP Bonanza. hirap lalo na kapag may bagyo. WALANG SIGNAL!
Sky Cable Zpdee, according to an online friend, minsan, walang connection for an hour. Better than PLDT DSL huh? 12-24 hours no connection.
At habang nagttype ako, ang gamit kong connection ngayon ay DIGITELONE. Satisfied, contented and magaan sa bulsa. Last May lang kami nagpakabit, hindi maiiwasan may downtime, but unlike PLDT, Digitel Downtime only takes a minute!
Yung iba ewan ko, hindi ko pa ntry.

Aborad, connected Mama ko sa Fiber Optic Cable Connection. Nasubukan ko na nung nagbakasyon ako dun. Super Bilis! As in pag nagdownload ka ng torrents eh ang DOWNLOAD SPEED ay almost 1 gbps. Matatagalan para dumating un Technology na un dito. Ang tanging solusyon lang ay… mangibang bansa at dun na tumira! :grin:
So far, zpdee ang pinakamabilis. Basically, basta cable internet (hindi DSL or ADSL), paniguradong mabilis un. Too bad hindi sakop ng coverage area ng ZPDEE ang sta. cruz, manila.

correct me if I am wrong, ang alam ko Meridian din ang main provider ng Smart which is affiliated sa PLDT, and nde maganda experience ko about Meridian. So kahit cguro T1 pa connection mo dito sa beloved Philippines may maeencounter ka talaga problem e, choose the lesser evil na lng hahaha and hope for the best. One reason din siguro is yung physical connections dito sa pinas is not that good particularly sa Manila, kita mo nman yung wires ng PLDT at meralco nde mo na alam which is which hahaha. Good luck sa search mo ng provider :smile:

Bayan DSL for me. Kasi mabilis ang download speed, hindi palaging nag o offline, mga once or twice a month lang, pero minutes lang naman, kung e compare mo sa iba na palagi, like smart bro, more than 50% ng internet users halos walang internet for 1 week sa smart bro, based on the statistics yan ah…
Kaya, based sa mga comments mo dito at sa mga reviews ng ibang blogs, the best na ISP in the Philippines as of today is Bayan DSL, so Bayan DSL ka na!

July 23rd, 2008 at 10:28 am
I had PLDT DSL for around a year until the great earthquake arrived and killed it. I then switched to Smart Bro, which to my surprise, was more stable. They also have better customer service.
I’d say the best would be Globe broadband if you want uber fast downloads(but aren’t into online games) and Smart Bro if you’re a WoW/Cabal/etc player.

Hello! Well i am one the frequent user of Internet at least 8 hours a day. I am using MyDSL PLDT though not as fast as they promised and publish in the papers but i would say a bit reliable. P990 plan is what i have. the downside of it is that during download and uploading, you will be left waiting for a while and such that you have to call them to report your dismay about the speed. Just give it a try…… this includes a land line whick is an added positive point.

It really depends sa location mo. Once pa lang ako nagkaroon ng downtime sa PLDT DSL. Down a ng buong QC nun pati sa SM (Kasi magrereklamo sana ako eh napadpad ako sa SM). Kahit nung time na nilindol yung Taiwan, mabagal pero online pa rin ako. Minsan mabagal pero nadadaan sa restart ng modem at router (or unplugging other people connected to the router). Medyo ayoko lang sa tech support nila pero recently, after one call and 3 callbacks, nagpadala sila ng tech. I’m on 1mbps speed plan and I get around 1.4-1.5 mbps when I’m downloading (although depende rin sa location ng servers).
Pero yung kaibigan ko sa makati, business account, laging down. Sobrang intermittent. Soooo… ewan ko. Masaya naman ako sa PLDT DSL. Leche lang talaga yung customer service nila.

hmmm… it really depends on your location. better mag-survey na lang yung computer shops sa malapit sa place mo kung anu ang provider nila kung ok ba.
try mo rin destiny cable internet. may cable internet ka na, may cable tv ka pa. most ng colleagues and former colleagues ko yun ang gamit at ayus naman ang work-from home connection nila dahil d2. “unlimited bandwidth” daw which would translate na yung bandwidth mo depende sa number of users at a given time.
kung afford mo naman, get a dedicated line to any telco’s backbone. at least T1 connection ayus na yun. di mo ka pa affected sa network congestion ng ordinary consumer dsl connections sa area mo.
inquire ka pldt/globe or kung dollars ang rate ng gusto mo, try mo at&t or cable&wireless.

They were calling you because they probably came across this post, that you are/were planning to cancel their service already and they also probably noticed that it has a LOT of replies, meaning a lot of people read your blog, and a lot of people will know/now knows/already knew but just didn’t complain enough how crappy their service is.

I’m glad talaga tumawag sila ng maraming beses.. i just felt very important.. na alala ko na customer pala ako at importante ang bawat customer ng smart bro kahit hindi man ito kilala (artista, pulitiko) ay importante parin sa kanila.. naks! :grin:
mag papadala daw sila ng tech bukas.. hehehe.. pag bibigyan ko sila hihintayin ko yung tech na ayusin.. baka maging ok.. di na ako mag babayantel :D hehehe

I was on SmartBro for a year then shifted to PLDT MyDSL after finishing my lockin period with them. Although, the speed was fine but when you have many things to do online, you will look for a faster connection. PLDT DSL was okay. Although there had been several crappy connections because of technical problems without prior notice. At least SmartBro is sending its subscribe a notice about an anticipated disconnection.

hi jezhlau, i think it really depends sa location dun sa service ng smart bro. i have been a subscriber ng smart bro mga 1 1/2 years na and satisfied naman ako. inisip ko bka kasi ganyan yung service jan is that sobrang CONGESTED na yung “base station” kung saan naka-tutok yung canopy mo. if ever hindi mo pa na-dump yung smart bro, tawag ka then sabihin mo dun sa gagawa, gusto mong paiba yung location ng base station, mas malapit the better. if ever wala ka na sa smart bro, ALWAYS consider kung ano yung hindi pa mashadong gamit na service jan
goodluck on your ISP hunting.

But sa BayanTel DSL halos 3 yrs. akong nag-subscribe bihira magloko ang connection nila, perfect wahahahahaha!!!! tested ko na sila kahit ung sa cafe ng mga friends ko ayos BayanTel DSL nila. tsaka bihira sila mag add sa TV o kng san man, pero ipinapakita nilang maganda ang serbisyo nila yon ang da best ISP kahit di mag add di tulad ng iba parang kandidato na sa paga-advertise kng san san wala nmn kwenta.

Dito sa Batangas City ang bagal ng Digitel, dati 384kbps yung plan ko then inupgrade to 512Kbps pero ang download speed ko lang eh umaabot ng 8-10kbps, noong una nagpromo sila nagpakabit agad ako ng 384kbps pero ang bilis pa noon 280-310kbps kapag nag speedtest ako then akala ko ok na ang service nila kaya nagpa-upgrade agad ako tapos eto na dito na sumakit ang ulo ko, ang bagal sa umaga hanggang gabi, tapos 2 beses na bumigay yung modem nila na Prolink h9200 dahil sa init kaya madalas wala ako connection, ang tagal pa ng technical support, bumagsak ako sa isang module ko sa caregiver ng magtake ako ng TESDA exam dahil ang sabi nila may pupunta na sa bahay na technician nila para icheck yung problema ko na nasabay naman sa review ko for Child Care nag-antay ako hangang hapon pero ayun walang dumating, Masasabi ko lang dito icheck nyo muna sa lugar nyo yung mga available ISP at magtanong sa mga naka subscribe dito, kasi sa iba lugar mabilis naman ang digitel,

I got smartbro ,thought i made the right choice there tv ads said 10 mbs ,I’ve had it now for over three month have had a technician to try and fix problem with the canopy and hardware ,its been on the blink for two days now page errors local area connection problem not reading address correctly, and now i called they said it was my antenna the would call back within 24 hours to schedule service time for repairing my problem, why do we need them to put a canopy in a word document when the connection is in the cable and if you do system restore of your computer it really screws up that canopy and you will need another service call ,right or wrong its like ridiculous i think if it happens again i will switch , does any one know a beter choice i did a speed test im getting 380kbs download and 190,210 upload, but i am paying for 10 mbs ,what is that it sounds like fraud to me right or wrong,P.S. I am paying 997 a month for service any other provider better for the money

Digitels DSL is also much better compared to Smart bro. faster at the same price.

first on smart bro, they offer fast reliable connection i had down connections on them and it took them like 2 weeks to repair, they promise rebate but never had it……
nxt is the nayan dsl, i had down connection also for 3 months, never had rebates also…. then the globe inet…. its even worst…. promised to give u 3mbs connections but u will get a 348kbps connection,,,,,,, so slow even windows updates dont work….. cant even open yahoo without loading…….. first time they install the connection it lasted like 30mins, then it went down… took them 2 months to repair dat was may and june 2008 after they fixed the problem they propted me to pay the reconnectionm and 800php for the 30mins connection… and it really pissed me off…… so otever connetion u have on the philippines really SUX…… maybe depends on the location u r currently on now…. ask first your neighbor wot are the using and reflect on it choose wot is best on your location…. peace

I have used wireless smart bro at 516 kbps and keep me in good connection for a whole year. Main problem if you intend to place a wireless router to share in the household you will keep on acquiring an IP address and will bother your connectivity and tech support will ask you to disconnect your router. Smart Bro has a quick fix program and will assist instantly in your connection problem. Very good I would say for a single PC.
Shifted to globe cable Internet at 1 mbps and keep me running good connection, accept router.
For mobility I used a Celfone from smart and is good for going thru your email and light surfing. It stall sometimes and connectivity is horrible at peak hours and weekend.
I tried a prepaid vissibility from globe which claimto run at 1.8 mbps. NOW THIS IS CALLED ‘HARANG’, This things runs like a dial up at 56 kbps and does it get higher than 256kbps in selected areas and the prepaid loading system is hackable. You load it, it get stolen immediately by hacker. Spread this around. MAIINIS KA LANG AT GUSTO KO NANG ITAPON DI MO PA MA IREFUND.
I will try smart bro mobile which they claim to run at 2 mbps. Will somebody give me a feed back so I will not run into a SCAM as globe vissibility

I’ve used Smart Bro, and I think their service sucks.
I’m on Globe Broadband now. Overall, I’m satisfied with the service. I’m paying for 1 Mbps a month but I can download torrents at speeds of up to 300 kbps. But one thing that annoys me is the frequent disconnection. Sometimes, you get disconnected as often as every 5 minutes. And you’re unlucky if you get the IP address of their proxy servers. For an average surfer, maybe it’s ok. But for someone like me who plays online strategy games competitively, it gets really annoying. One disconnection = 1 loss. T.T

Most of customers uses Smart Bro 999. Even all my family uses Smart Bro 999 too. There are few that ran into problem about using Smart Bro cause of their locations. But a lot of very remote location in Pinas has no choice but to use Smart Bro. When I do visit Pinas, during my traveling, I uses Smart SIM on my phone and connect it to my laptop for internet connection… which do me great because I could make calls back to the US that way. In conclusion, depending on your location and your situation, and based on my customers’ experiences Smart Bro gives a pretty descent service.

I was disconnected 4 months already but I was still charged with those months and I was told to pay or else these bills will still earn interest as days goes by. So i don’t hav a choice but to pay them.
So if you’re a smart bro subscriber please if you don’t hav conncetions, report it immediately to avoid the continuous charging…. tnx

I kept calling them and they were giving reasons like it’s my computer…blah blah blah…My computer’s memory daw is low..When I was talking to one of their costumer service agents I was like “wtf?i called u yesterday and u told me that it’s my computer’s memory and then I fixed it,deleted a lot of stuff and still ganun pa rin”..(actually I knew it from the very start that it’s not my pc’s memory.I was just giving them the benefit of the doubt)
and then last month they cut my connection coz nalate akong magbayad ng 2 WEEKS..imagine with thier fuckin crappy connection,they have all the guts to do that.
I’m not gonna change to another isp coz I’ll be leaving for the states this year..and seriously kahit may recession dun..pipiliin ko parin dun kasi doon “WALANG SMART BRO”

I used to have smart bro (I was one of the early smart wifi users) and it used to be bad and it turned okay after a few years
. But I dumped it because of the speed (384 kbps ???). I live in San Pedro Laguna and my connection was okay. My point is I guess getting a good smart bro connection depends on your location.
Now, I am using Globelines (with the landline). It is okay and a bit better than smart bro (1mbps in speed) but it also has its shortcomings.
But I’ll take Globe over Smart since Globe’s customer service is relatively “better” compared to Smart.

Mobile Internet still sucks, careful about buying any of those prepaid. I bought Smart and Globe and are terible. The Load could be stolen and parang dial up and speed. They claim a 2 mbps speed but may be applicable if you are under antena. Madaling sabi bulok and service sa mobile. Buti pa gumamit na lang celfone at good for 460 kbps. I don’t know about Sun Cellular mobile monthly bundled with P 350 suncel unlimited call and text. Digitel wired connection is bad in Angeles dami nagrereklamo dahil mabagal and patay patay ang connection, you could be offline for hours.

I have just recently purchased and started using sun easy broadband. It’s service rendered at start around 5 days was really amazing. Unfortunately, lately, there has been noticeable decline in the net speed. I have enquired with nearest sun shop here in SM Valenzuela, but I was told there’s nothing that can be done since it has something to do with cyber traffic. I just wish this message won’t reach deaf ears this time and hope that Sun Cellular Nework/Digitel will do something about making their service rendered better. I have noticed that my connection was better when my IP was routed to Quezon. But ever since it was routed to Cavite it hasn’t been getting better at all, not even reaching 1mbps.I hope they do something bout this though. BUt so far, this has been better compared to my old mobile thingey which was from globe. It sure did sucked even more and it is even more expensive at 20 pesos per hour rate. I havent tried smart bro though and from the looks of it i won’t try it anymore.

What is the latest on the Smart Plan 999 and a 2,500 initial payment for the unit which claims a 3 mbps speed and works with a router to share the connection. Does it really have a 3 mbps speed. Too good to be true. Any comment before being a sucker again. Magaling sa marketing ang mga taga smart, globe and sun pero kulang sa performance and kanilang binibenta. Anybody who can warn me. Skybroadband, pwede kung you can afford it

Hi jehzlau,
I’m a user of Smartbro for the last 3 years (Bulacan area) and so far, its reliable naman although “occasionally”, nagdada-down sya for hours (min. 1 hour to max 1 day). I installed broadband as im working abroad and most of the time, skype and gtalk lang ang gamit nya, and yes, friendster para sa anak kong maporma. Most of the time, we can use 24 hrs without interruption pero several times we asked SMART to adjust our antenna to improve the signal. Now, after 3yrs we stop our smartbro service since we are moving to greenhills san juan. I already applied for GLOBE wired broadband w/ landline (1mbps speed daw) but not yet installed. Do you have some feedback on globe sa greenhills area? how about this globe prepaid tattoo which im planning to get also? pls share some inputs. cheers

SKY BROADBAND TESTIMONY – Jan. 26 to May 6, 2009
I live in Makati and subscribed to SkyBroadband’s 12Mbps Platinum package at Php6,000+/month. The installation was Jan. 26, 2009 and it cost me Php5,999 cash up-front which was “supposed to” include a portion of the first month’s billing. Problems resolving this with their billing dept. occurred a month later.
The Internet speeds were as advertised for the first week of service. After that, I noticed a major decline in connectivity speed and began calling Tech Support, religiously for the next two months.
Unfortunately, Sky Broadband’s Tech Support is a call center, so every call is scripted: “did you reset your modem? did you check your router? what operating system are you running on your computer?”, blah blah… They can only “forward” your issue to a qualified technician — which can take anywhere from one day to never.
Evidently, most Philippines ISP tech support lines are either outsourced to call centers, or managed similarly to call centers. The best advice I received is to get the name, phone#, and email address of a “real” person within the ISP’s organization upon subscribing to any ISP in the Philippines. Ideally, this would be an account manager. Otherwise, expect limited tech support regardless of the ISP. You’ve been warned!
In the first week of April, I finally got a Sky Broadband field technician to visit my residence. He inspected all of my equipment: cable modem, Linksys/Cisco WRT310N wireless router, xBox360, and my laptop. According to the field technician, all of my equipment was working properly and he determined the source of my connectivity speed performance decline is OUTSIDE of my residence. I also made him document this for the record to Sky Broadband before he left, so it was supposedly filed in his report.
Two weeks after the field tech visited my residence, I noticed a week of increased speed connectivity. Coincidence? Unfortunately, it only lasted one week. Afterwards, speeds declined to a less-than average of 512kbps, and have maintained since then until today May 6th, 2009.
The irony is that I can visit Speedtest.net, and get some amazing results but when I’m surfing the Internet, my browser displays incredibly slow connectivity. This may suggest poor routing, or back-end special filtering apps which cripple typical Internet up/down traffic. Regardless, my 512kbps average surfing speeds are less than 5% of the advertised 12Mbps service I’m paying — which seems unacceptable to just about anyone, di ba?
Last week, a local IT expert suggested I try PLDT’s MyDSL at 3Mbps “for a while” and observe any difference in connectivity speed. He said that broadband Internet will be always be handicapped by multiple users sharing the primary connection. Unfortunately, I’ve read only negative comments re: MyDSL on just about every blog site in the Philippines, and I expect the worst. However, even if I can get 1.5 Mbps out of MyDSL’s 3 Mbps service, I will be tripling my current speed with Sky Broadband.
Anyways, that’s my story and this is where I’m at with all this ISP dogma in the Philippines. I’m an expat from the U.S. and I can see a lot of business opportunities for Filipinos but if the communication infrastructure cannot compete with Western standards, then I suspect any prosperity from such opportunities will simply remain out-of-reach for the Philippines in general. But isn’t it amazing that just about everyone has a cell phone? Hmmmm…

Thanks for sharing Marc! This is very disappointing because I’m planning to move to Manila just for better internet connection. I’m also a U.S. expat (just moved to philipines) trying to do business online. Here in Sabang, Puerto Galera there is only one ISP reseller (iMindoro) as far as I know and have been to their office several times. The four clowns who call themselves “IT guys” in that office, all they are doing is playing online games and file sharing. My source of income is from online and I may have to leave philippines because of the internet connectivity problem. If you find a better solution, please let me know. Thanks!

In general, MyDSL and all other DSL providers and packages suck. Bayan installed their 2.5Mbps DSL in my condo (central Makati) and the throughput measured 0.11Mbps. The Philippines is NOT the place to live if you’re trying to make a living online. Believe it or not, SkyBroadband is the best I’ve had so far and I still think it sucks. :roll:

Furthermore when i surfed the net i have fast internet browsing due to the fact i have firefox, i have opendns.com as my DNS provider for free kaya guys switch na kayo over your default isp which is congested, i have tweak my internet settings. by the way i ran windows vista, i have lots of ram, so it really helps, i have disable the quality of bandwith (windows reserved 20% of bandwith for emergency purposes, so it really helps if you disable it, you get max speeds when downloading, buy the way i download while playing games, i have downloaded 20 gigs of stuff already. email me for your concerns. king_2305@yahoo.com. by the way i am a computer expert.

It is because the total bandwidth shared by the users of globe in any data only services they offer is not enough to the number of coustomers they have.
Meaning, “Globe broadband services” total bandwidth is poor compared to most ISP in the world.

I have tried smart bro (antenae type) and it could be good if your area is near a cellsite but it could be bad were there are taller building or trees surrounding your area. Go for the cable type it will be more reliable. The USB stick model which they advertize claiming for 2 to 3 mbps is over claim. They work like a dial up speed of 56k ( both globe and smart) and worst they would not admit and they just keep selling it. It almost a scam.
Spread the word so they will improve their service

hahaha! same here skyie :D Lipat na. I think Sky Broadband is promising. Yung plan nila na 6k/month, guaranteed 12MBPS, pero I haven’t tried it yet.
Meron din bago ang globe ngayon. Yung GPON nila na 100MBPS. Sobrang bilis na nun kung mag ka totoo. Ewan ko lang. Here’s an interesting post from Yuga about the latest internet services from Globe.

been with smart bro for 3 years now. i get up to 512kbps max speed but sometimes it’s kinda slow din though it’s a relatively stable connection. but i’ve been thinking of getting a cable internet coz i know they’re much faster (i was a destiny cable subscriber before) and i would like to install a wireless router which might affect the internet speed. any suggestions please? thanks

Routers are good for cable internet. It does not affect speed no matter how many computers are connected, wired or wireless. If your subscription is of the antenae type (wireless like smart bro) it is basically for a single computer and if you intend to use a router you will encounter conection problem and you will keep resetting your connection. More likely service personnel of smart will ask you to stop using the router

If u have the finances ok lang skybroadband, 6k mabigat sa bulsa and do you need all that speed. Maybe planning to have internet connection and high definition internet TV if you can afford why not. Not if you are planning to open an internet cafe which is good for gaming and make your customer happy and interconnect your residential or business computer may be a good decision to go sky broadband……magiging sikat ka sa buong neighborhood…heheheh

prehas lang naman lahat eh.all of them have flaws and all of them do their services accordingly. for me, depende na lang sa pc specs with regards to its maintenance, connection if wired and of course, location ng place mo kung sakaling malayo sa base station ang antenna mo. yun lang po. :cool:

I’ve been using smartbro for a year and I’m still good with it! I live in cavite, I’ve checked with the TS and my area is 3g/hsdpa OK. I’ve also configured my laptop specs as to improve my overall speed connection. Amybe you should try this too. Get as much info you need from their TS instead of moving to other ISP’s so randomly. If it still doesn’t work, then maybe its the time to check your other options.

First of all, I am a hater of SMART services though GLOBE isn’t too far away. They both suck. I just have to let this out.
And now here’s my unbiased experience.
The ISP’s here in PH depends greatly in your area to function properly. You need to do your homework if you are to subscribe to any of them.
i.e. PLDT myDSL has excellent speed, stability and customer support in the “heart” of Baguio City, elsewhere, just plain sucks. In QC and Paranaque very unstable. So if i am in Baguio i’d definitely go for PLDT hands down. Too bad i think they cannot afford any more slots.
BayanDSL is pretty impressive in NCR better than PLDT i would strongly imply.
SmartBro unlimited = Great in areas where there is minimal connection, less clutter. As they send the signal through towers very low tech if you ask me. But you could get away with it if you’re not sharing your bandwidth. In Baguio where there is plenty of connection already, forget it and you’ll be happy just the same.
Prepaid SmartBro, Globe = The only good thing i can say here is that they’re the cheapest HSDPA gadget around. And since it’s made for surfing and for people on the go, i will give it a 4/10. Under a tower however i’ll give it 9/10. I reached 1.5mbps there max with stable connection. But of course, kinda defeats its purpose.
Globe wireless = SmartBro is better.
Globe landline + DSL = Same as PLDT only cheaper and slightly lagging behind in speed. This is my current connection as PLDT DSL isn’t available here in my current location. I don’t know in other areas though.
Final words.
Survey your location, gather as much information you can. More connection means more clutter but not necessarily. As long as they have available slot for you(outside NCR), go for PLDT. Within NCR go Bayantel. Else go GlobeDSL(landline).

Hello, I had PLDT before, I had Globe broadband before and I also had Digitelone. all of them have gud and bad sides. but the worst is Digitelone and PLDT. Imagine nyo ultimo field technician nila di alam ginagawa. The reason I was able to say this is I use to be a tech support for a router before so my idea ako sa mga pinag gagawa nila. . and FYI kung 1MB ang internet connection ang binabayaran mo every month, dapat atleast 70% – 80% ang speed na makukuha mo out of 1MB. yan dapat ang average speed mo araw araw. now this company thinks that all end user does not know this. kapag bumaba ka sa 70% ng 1MB it means they are not giving what they promise and what we are paying. request ka na dapat nun ng rebate. the problem with end user is haggat may connection gamit lang ng gamit. so di mo ma notice na mabagal na pala connection mo unless abutin ka ng mahigit sa 1min para sa isang website. tapos dun ka palang mag rereklamo. pero kung agresibo ka na i check lagi ang speed mo di sila makaka takas sayo at di ka nila ma loloko. I would also advise is use speedtest.net and 2wire.com to compare the speed na nakukuha mo para sure ka kung ano talaga average speed. Lets face it all ISP nag kaka problema tama but go to ISP na madaling kausap sa rebate and mabilis umaksyon sa problema. kasi kung di nila kayang ayusin sigurado ako na mag rebate yan sayo kaya di ka lugi. Ang masama kung mabagal na wala pang balik bayad. And ma advise ko lang sa lahat na wifi is still wifi. di parin mananalo ang wifi compared sa wired connection, mapa cable pa yan or phone line. ang problema kasi babagal talaga internet connection mo haggat dumadami ang gumagamit at nag share ng isang connection. so I would like to correct one post here na kung gagamit ka ng router eh di babagal internet connection mo. that is not true. Tama depende talaga sa area mo ang speed ng internet connection mo. kung malapit ka sa mga cell site at cabinet ng Internet mas mabilis talaga kasi mas maiksi ang tatakbuhin ng data. for example run in straight line yung isa tatakbo ng 1 km at ung isa naman 500 meter. sino sa tiningin nyo mas mabilis makakabalik.
same with internet connection. Sana nabigyan ko kayo ng mahalagang ways to find the best ISP.

Well for my experience 3 ISP n natry ko 1st is the Broadband ng bayan Smart bro F*** tlga. As in kung magkakaroon ng survey poll na parang Presidential survey 0.1% ang rate Sobrang bagal since nung ginabit way back 2005 128 kbps pa un hindi p nakacanopy ang antena ng smart hanggang nagupgrade ako sa 384 kbps parusa tlga medyo mabilis naman pero sa isang araw d mabilang ang disconnections. then ill try the sky cable zpdee nak ng pating ganun din paputol putol ang connection hindi perfect ng sky cable ang configuration ng cable internet, and the last one which im currently using this is more sucks than the smart bro digitel bida plans of digitelone sa una sobrang bilis 512kbps lng ang plan ko pero ang nakaset sa aking is 2mbps nakita ko sa web gui ng prolink modem/router nila kaya sarap magdownload pero ngaun, magiisang taon na sa october, nakita ko sa modem na 512/192 kbps n lng ang nakaset aus lng kasi un lng ang plan ko ang problema naging dial up ang connection speed ko langya 27kbps nakukuha ko? anu toh lokohan? Magaling cla sa una, malamang sa malang eh ung bandwith n para sa akin eh nabibigay sa mga bagong subscriber. hayzzz sana umaksyon naman ang NTC. hayzzz un lng po,,, salamat

mad: I won’t even recomend pldt my dsl. Plainly a misrepresentation regarding about there services. Exsample the speed average is 3.5mb and that not an average speed that is the top maybe might happened average of two hours in a year spand.. I own a internet cafe I monitored everyday the speed and most the test result is 1.5mb or 1.9mb. My lucky day I got 2.6mb and that last for 20 minutes, and after the 0.19 and 0.12mb which dial up speed is a lot more faster this kind of speed that to ashamed it call dsl. for two year my experiend with service is just like I am in hell. I experience for all most three four weeks with no internet connection and after that experience the speed is too slow. I feel so bad I got the premium commercial account that the service should be far better instead far worse and suck. Every time I called for service I am sorry the problem will forwarded to our technical team. Supervisor/ manager I spoke with the problem and made a promised the technician will be at my business site to service before the end of the day and that did not happen and they give a big lies… PLDT in whole they need to repair there total structures so they can give a good service to there customer.

I agree GLOBE BROADBAND REALLY SUCKS! We are from Laguna area… We switched from SMART to GLOBE since at that time SMART didnt offer competively 1Mbs. So it was just speed ang problem namin sa SMART. If there was a disconnection.. they can immediately fixed it..5-10min. matagal na ung 1hr. BUT WITH GLOBE, whew! 5-12 hrs no connection. Then calling their support hotline is just one HELL of a sacrifice. It will take several attempts before they answer! Now for the main issue, we only get answers of uncertain cause of the disconnection problems and all PROMISES of reconnection with no INTERIM solution and estimated connection restoration time! They even get your contact numbers such that a support will call us to monitor/check the connection restoration – - these are all HELL of lies, they did not call us not even once.

– Very high signal but very slow internet connection (hahaha)
– High cost for very cheap services
– Hallucination (you feel like you are still connected but actually disconnected)
– Very accomodating technical personnel (scripted reply: services are always under maintenance, please try within 24hrs)
Also, you can avail of their promo for the whole year, for every approved application you can get a one year supply of biogesic (to relieve the headache)… at least me promo…

Hi I just used the usb type sun cellular mobile thing, mine is postpaid though I paid almost 2,500.00 pesos for 1 month advance and the modem for this one. Actually the Sun mobile connection here in Malabon is good as per web page browsing although I tried downloading a torrent movie file and it took me several days just to finish one. ( I just did the speedtest and I got this for the result, 0.15mb DL 0.03upload please take note it is raining cats and dogs outside )
Actually I am a hardcore gamer before I got my job right now so Internet is really a big thing for me.
I worked as an English tutor before in the Don Antonio area and my Korean student chose destiny for their ISP, at first I thought it would be good because it is not broadband. There should be no downtimes because the data is travels through a wire right? Well I guess I’m wrong because it takes a millenia before they could even load a web page. They were so frustrated.
On the other hand, I have experienced Globe Broadband for personal use when I was crazy over RAN online ( I think that was a year and a half ago. ) The internet was good though there are times when it is intermittent. It was actually a good offer for 1,299.00 for both the phone and the net.
My boyfriend works in a computer shop and their ISP provider is PLDT biz. I think that is the best connection that i have experienced in my entire life. I am fond of watching movies downloaded via torrents and a 700mb file with good seeds will only take a maximum of 1 hour compared to my SUN mobile net, 3 days.
To sum it all, I think broadband companies will work depend on the particular location where you are in. If you are in the Pangarap-Tala area, Globe is the best and here in Malabon, I would recommend PLDT and Sun Mobile Net.

Sana may iba pang ISP dito sa Cagayan de Oro City monopolize lang kasi ng Smart at Globe puro naman mga walang kwenta. Sayang ang oras at kuryente palaging weak ang connection at reset connection. Maraming beses na ako tumawag sa GLOBE puro pangako wala namang action. Sana yung mga ISP pumunta naman kayo sa CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY marami namang may kaya dito pero nagtitiis lang sa basura ng GLOBE at SMART.

To all those who want to have a good internet broadband, I will never recommend, Smartbro (Two weeks na akong tumatawag sa kanila para man lang maayos, lagi sabi nila ang “base” daw ang me problema at inaayos na ito ng mga engineers nila… take note, two weeks inaayos di magawa-gawa?! Ang bagal na nga ng connection, napuputol pa, di pa nila inaayos… Pero nagbabayad ka ng monthly bill sa kanila… Anak ng ng pating!) Second, I will not recommend, Globe broadband (Tattoo), sasakit lang ulo nyo…..

i’m doing an online business and I had tried all the ISPs in the Philippines. I don’t have any positive thing to say about philippine ISPs. they all sucks! I first tried smart bro. they just kept on changing my antenna every month. they also asked me to buy an additional tube to increase the height of my antenna but it’s also very slow. I terminated my smartbro and tranferred to PLDT but PLDT is worst. They never got my bills right. They always had a problem with their main server. I had to stay on the phone from the opening to the closing of the queue to reques for an onsite technician… I give up

One thing positive with my experience so far with Smart Bro (antenae type) and Smart Bro USB Stick and Globe Broadband they work well and depend upon your location. Even PLDT for that matter. SUn DSL is the worst offender.
Unfortunately, they have a lot of improving their infrastructure from their claims of reaching 1, 2, 3 mbps which is utterly ridiculous advertising claims. They make the consuming public suckers. We should one day unite and file a class suit for robbing the public

Here in Butuan City, the WORST ISP is GLOBE WIRELESS BROADBAND. Very slow and couldnt even connect to webcam. So I had it disconnected even before I have completed my 1 year contract, and they tried to ask for pre termination fee from me, which is the remaining months of my 1yr subscription, been connected for 5 months., but they couldnt fool me I have been so stupid to being very quite with their FUCKING CONNECTION. So they agreed to just let me settle my last bill. Now, I have Bayan DSL, lil faster that GLOBE WIRELESS but atleast it has stable connection and i could use my webcam.

wag kayong mag subscribe sa smart bro. currently a smart bro user. during peak hours around 10am-10pm my internet speed is usually 50-200kbps whilst their commercial is about 2mbps. kayo lng ang binobobo ng smart bro. to check how ur connection is unstable. go to command prompt and ping yahoo.com -t or any website. if you see request timed out alot means you got shitty connection. you can also try at 2wire.com or testmy.net for your speedtest. they are very accurate and most likely same result. guys dont be deceive with their commercial. ITS ALL LIES. i wanna sue them actually coz im an online gamer particularly wow( world of warcraft) and i cant even connect properly. so yeah its CRAPbro or FAILbro.

Agree. I had so much problems with smart bro and with sun broadband. Smart bro is very slow esp kapag may ulan. Tapos it takes forever for the bills to arrive and sometimes they double bill you. You really have to be keep track of the bills and make sure you pay smart at the smart stores kasi sometimes they don’t accredit your payments from the banks or SM for a month or two. Tapos it takes weeks for a repair crew to come and sometimes all they do is come and look for 5 minutes then leave.
With Sun broadband, the bills are on time pero its very slow. Minsan in Mandaluyong, its only 5kbps. I’m not kidding. The slowed I ever got was .11kbps. Yes. point 11. The fastest was 300kbps. And these are during non-peak hours in Mandaluyong. Tapos sira ang ZTE modem 3 times in 2 months because defective ang modem. China-made talaga. Mas tagal ang repairs lalo sa Smart!
Suggestion ko: don’t get smart bro or sun broadband if that would be your primary internet service provider.

i was actually looking for an isp na mabailis UPLOAD speed. because i wanted to host a FREE online games. Bayantels 786kbps get 80kBps ul transfer rate. i just don’t know if increases with the plan of 2mbps kung magiging 200kBps ang ul. but i doubt it kasi adsl ang actual connection type nila. yung naman skybroadband `12/1 ang pinakamataas na plan for P6000 a month. that would mean na 100kBps lang ul speed. yung pldt may inoffer sa parang server services but P18000 a month at i need a business license to get it.
in short i just want a connection type (residential) which can gice me the highest upload speed possible. :sad:

I already tried many ISP’s here in the Philippines. Let me share some knowledge for you people what ISP to choose.
Smart Bro – Pinaka worst na ISP umulan man o umaraw walang improvements!! Mabagal sa Gaming, P2P sharing, downloading and video streaming. pero pag malapit ka sa cell site mabilis.. pero BOOOO parin. tsaka cyempre pag umuulan nsa bahay ka lng mag Ne-Net, itong smart konting ulan lng eh grabe na sa BAGAL.. panu pa pag bagyo? ANTHENA kc!! PINAKA BULOK SA MGA BULOK to promise
Sky Broadband (Zpdee) & Destiny- Kakapakabit ko lng last month ng SKY and ngayon nagsisi nq. mabilis cya pag offpeak meaning 1am – 8am… Pang adik tong sky broadband.. Sira ulo gumawa nito LOPEZ ikaw un.. ayusin mo yang ISP nyo.. masyadong bulok.. Maganda lng kayo sa SURFING.. pero sa lahat wala na… prang DIAL UP na.. Gaming, downloding, p2p pinaka worst!! Customer Service PINKA BAD AT BULOK!! Ayusin mu sKY mo lopez SAYO pa nman ang MERALCO!!
Globe broadband wired – Good in downloading, gaming, p2p, surfing & video streaming. Pero pag nag ka problem nman sakit sa ulo.. lagi sila may SYSTEM ENHANCEMENT tang inang yan d na natapos ung SYSTEM ENHANCEMENT na yan.. Forever nba yan? Customer service.. VER BAD!!
PLDT my DSL – The best ISP. very stable cya.. walang peak/offpeak hours.. kung ano ang speed mo consistent cya d cya nag babago.. best for GAMING.. and Good sa surfing downloading lahat lahat na!! d cya ganun ka bilis pero consistency ng connection ang pinag uusapan nten d2.. kaya PLDT na lng kau 1mbps and above.. ung below 1mbps wag na yun may nadidinig aq mabagal 300+kbps and 512kbps… Kung kaya nyo mag 1mbps UN NA LNG. LESS HEADACHE..
peace

Nice post Pol. I agree.
I’m located in QC and SmartBRO ang net namin. Malapit kame sa base station so medyo ok yung speed pero pag umulan, magdasal ka na. Mabilis ang download speed, minsan umaabot ng 800kbps, pero sa upload naman, swerte ka na pag naka 200kbps ka!
Gamer ako, at sa totoo lang kung consistency ang pag-uusapan, di pwede SmartBRO sa mga gamers.
Kaya I tried the 15-days trial period of Sky Broadband (1mbps plan) last August dahil nga inconsistent ang SmartBRO. Tama ka ulit, sa madaling araw lang sya mabilis. Pag peak hours, para kang naka dial up.
Nag-stick na lang ako sa SmartBRO kasi mas masakit sa ulo yung Sky amf!
PLDT myDSL na lang ang hindi ko na-try. Maganda sana kung lahat may trial period para ma-test kung okay yung speed at service. Baka kasi pangit ang PLDT dito sa location namin.
Globe Broadband – di ako interesado dahil ito ang net ng kapatid ko at mas marami silang system maintenance (down service) kesa sa SmartBRO.

Actually my friend told me year ago now that myPLDT Company is the best compare than other ISP. But it depends on the location of your ISP hosting panel. If your location is near around 500meter-1mile you will get a fast connection whatever traffic it is… your speed connection will be good enough to satisfied your need.
However, it would be great if you can afford to pay the maximum speed available in the market.

Before i’m using Tattoo, but the worst decision in my life. I just threw it in the trash can so sobrang inis ko.

first off… i want to say that this is the best topic ive seen so far regarding which is which…
eto naman yung na experience ko so far…
(i live in Pasig)
SmartBro – this was my first ISP. mabilis sila mag setup pag kakabitan ka nila. pag may sira naman, punta sila dito sa bahay after a day or 2. just like what a lot of you experienced, takot sa ulan ang SmartBro… takot din sa eroplano lol. i noticed na pag may dadaan na eroplano, kahit gano pa kataas ang lipad, na-dc ako then balik din agad pag wala na yung eroplano. i had plan 990 back then.
Globe Broadband – i had the 1300 internet+phone. i was really happy with my connection. meron sira pa minsan pero tolerable naman. September 23, 2009 nasira yung modem ko and sabi sa akin visit daw within 72 hrs. walangya si Ondoy ang nag-visit sa bahay! and simula nung time na yun HANGGANG NGAYON WALA PA RIN AKONG MODEM AT WALA PA RIN SILANG SERVICE SA AREA NAMIN!!! Sawang sawa na ako sa kakatawag sa customer service ng globe. pare pareho lang naman sinasabi – “sir, sorry for the inconvenience. gagawa ko na lang po kayo ng record para ma-forward sa technical department.” SUS!!! baka lampas na ng isang daan yung records ko wala pa ring nangyayari. ni time frame wala talagang mabigay.
eto lang masasabi ko sa Globe… PUTANG INA NYO!!!
WeRoam – eto nakahiram ako hehe isa lang masasabi ko… ang bagal lol
myDSL – gusto ko sana try to kaso naman wala daw available sa area ko
di ko na alam kung anong kukunin ko

Globe bro ako dati, yun 3G nila, (wireless) may maliit at walang kwentang antenna kinabit sa roof namin. After about 5months of hassle and sakit ulo, pinaputol ko na globe bro ko, at gusto pa nila ako pabayarin sa charges dahil di ko natapos yung contract. I said to them, bat ako magbayad eh pursue ko man sana connection ko yung ok lang services nyo. Ayun, diniskonek na nila. I’m now happy with Bayan DSL.

got it installed a few years ago in pampanga (2008 i think)..tolerable naman sya kahit madalas mawalan ng connection..since di naman kami madalas makapag-net because we’re not at home 24/7..a few months after, nasira ung pole na pinagkabitan dun sa antenna dahil sa bagyo dati (i forgot the name nung bagyo)..yung father ko ang nagreport sa smartbro about the problem since i’m working in manila..after a few days, nagpunta na yung technicians nila..di rin sya nagawa that day..so pinatawag na ko ng tatay ko sa smartbro since ang tagal na di pa din nagagawa yung antenna..the csr told me na magpapadala sila ng ibang technicians to look at the problem..same result, wala din nangyari..so i called them up again, this time, sinabi nung csr na may note na galing sa technician nila na di na kayang ayusin ung problem namin..i asked her kung pano yun, may mga bills pa din na nadating e hindi naman namin nagagamit yung service nila..she told me na i-wiwave nila yung bills namin (ilang months din yun)..and she asked me kung gusto ko pa daw ba ipareinstall yung antenna..i told her wag na lang..since puro sakit lang naman ng ulo inaabot namin dun..call ended, so i thought ok na..but then, may mga bills na naman na sinesend samin..di ko na lang pinansin since akala ko di pa lang naa-update yung system nila..anyway, after a few weeks, may dumating na demand letter from smartbro’s lawyer, telling me that if i do not pay or settle my bills with them, they’re going to file criminal case against me..wtf!!so i went to their main office in ayala and told them about my issue..the bi^&* na nakausap ko told me that i had to pay my unpaid bills pa din and because di na daw ako pumayag na maireconnect yung antenna nila, i had to pay pa yung termination fee (since wala pang 1yr yung connection ko)..i kept asking her na why should i pay their services that i’ve never used?!i even told her na wi-nave na nung csr nila yung ibang fees ko since di ko naman talaga nagamit and since sinabi na nung techinician nila na di na magawa..ang sabi nya sakin, kasi daw i refused na ipareconnect..i don’t know what i was thinking back then, but i gave in and paid them..7k all in all..shiyet!!stupid me.. :roll: i was so frustrated and irritated because ayaw akong pakinggan or intindihin nung girl na nakausap ko..mali din ako kasi i yielded sa mga mukhang pera na smartbro na yun.. :mad: well, lesson learned..kaya never, as in never na ako mag-i-smartbro (for the rest of my life)..i will not be an instrument para sa pagpapamayan pa nila..kung gaano sana sila kaaggressive sa paniningil sa mga customers nial ganun din sila kaaggressive sa pagbibigay ng good quality services e di walang problema..umayos naman sana kayo..
i’m planning to get a ISP at home and still researching on the better services..but come hell or hie water, HINDING-HINDI, DID I SAY HINDI?!?, AKO MAGPAPAKABIT NG SMARTBRO!!!
kahit hindi na ko magka-net forever..the end…

hi,
SmartBro din ako, dto sa baguio. 1 year na. during the first few months, maganda service nila. kahit hindi sobrang bilis, medyo mas stable naman. naku.. after a few months, nabakasyon lang kasi ako sa manila, aun.. pagbalik ko.. ang pangit pangit na lalo na pagnagtatrabaho ako. freelancer kc ako. sometimes i teach online through skype. mula nung june last year hanggang ngaun kapag magoonline ako ng around 7pm-10pm.. super bagal at nagiging unstable yung connection. kaya hindi tuloy ako makatrabaho.
balak ko na nga sanang mag globe last month. kasi may promo sila na 1299 a month ung 2mbps na wired, may landline at may router pa. maganda rin nmn dw khit papano sabi ng kaibigan ko. ung mga 1GB na files, ilang oras lang nadadownload na.. kahit 5 pang laptop sabay sabay. anyway, hanggang jan 30 lang siya at hindi pa available sa area namin. aun.. sayang na sayang..
ngaun, gusto ko sanang malaman sa mga baguio pipol na nakabayandsl. kasi. sabi ng globe march pa daw sila available dto. sana.. kaya hintay ko pa hanggang march.. pero kasi.. dun sa speedtest.net sabi ang fastest bayandsl dto sa baguio, 3rd ung globe, pero hindi naman ganun kalaki ung difference nila sa speeds.
gusto ko lang sana malaman kung anu ang mas ok, bayan ba o globe. thanks
sori mahaba…. :o

Initially, I had a NOT-SO-GOOD connection with smartbro. It was intermittent and slow. I called a couple of times and ended with somebody who would like me to do basic troubleshooting. Lucky for me I used to work as a TSR for a major US ISP. I always tell the rep not to bother as I have done it all. I would not call anyway if it is something local.
I told them that I need to be assigned to a different Access Point as my current is dropping me. The 1st CSR said it could not be done. I hanged up.
I called again and got a lady who is more than willing to create a ticket for me. The next day a tech came over to redirect my canopy modem to a different AP. They also tweaked the canopy to have a better download speed for me.
My choices here is limited since I am in Sorsogon City. In NCR, there should be about 8 – 14 AP to choose from. Just smile when you talk to the rep and if you think this rep is not so helpful, call again until you get somebody who is technical enough or conscientious enough to get you your request.
In toto, it still boils down to the agent that you get routed to.

Hi I’m new here in Manila and looking for a fast connection ISP with a budget plan.
In States the connection there is mostly thru ground wires so no antennas needed.
Here I see is different so I’m looking for fast connection that’s stable and is pretty cheap. 1MBPS is good enough for me.
Also I have heard about 4G providers, anyone can comment on that?

Out of topic:
NEED HELP on setting up iPhone 3G Unlocked from AT&T.
Hi I sent my wife a AT&T unlocked (or openline you called it) iPhone 3G 8gb. she needs help how to set up the iphone to be able to access internet (using prepaid sim) and be able to send MMS. I already called and contacted globe quite few times (but everytime in the middle of conversation we kept on disconecting- maybe I need to go to Smart huh? lol) and in some other times I was able to talk to their customer support, and the Globe customer representative told me she couldn’t help me after I told her that the iPhone was not purchased at Globe and it was from AT&T. She also told me that my wife needs to take the iphone to one of their Globe Business Center (Davao) so they can set up the iPhone and tweak the settings. I was hesitant because the phone is currently running on 3.1.2 firmware which is unlockable, and if they ever update the iphone to 3.1.3 (here in U.S) the unlocked for that firmware isn’t available not yet, although I don’t know what or how are you guys do it there in Philippines to open a line (unlock) an iphone. Anybody could help her get the phone set up or if you know anybody that works at globe that knows how to do it.Once the problem is solved, I will send you a PHP 500 or More (Depending on the complexity of the set-up) worth of load via Chikka iSend (your choice to Globe and Smart) You can text me on my Roaming (globe) 0916-317-8023 I can also call you around 10am Phil time, or you can email me just contact the blog admin,Salamat po Bossing, I do check my email most of the time(except when I am at work or sleeping) philippine time is 13 hours ahead of us. so if you are texting / email me at 12 noon there its 11Pm here. Thanks

Smart Bro is fine over here in Baguio, although i’ve never tried other ISPs before so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
I haven’t experienced any problems until recently, probably because of that underwater cable problem or my new comp (sure, lots of storage. But not exactly befitting for me. Our old comp was better). Everyone in the house uses lap tops, so we use wi-fi. It was fine when we were newly introduced to the concept but later on it started getting crappier. Well, the brand of the router isn’t really all that nice so I wouldn’t really directly blame it all on smart.
When i stayed at the U.S. for awhile, internet wasn’t all that different. Only the download speed but i don’t really mind as all i ever download are small stuff. Accelerators can take care of it.
Personally i can blame a lot of people for the crappy internet here but i’d rather deal with it. It’s not like I’d die from having slow internet.

Dude! I would die with slow internet! Back in my country in China the download speed is 1GBPS per second. That’s like a million times faster than the internet here in the Philippines. From my experience, ALL the internet providers in the Philippines diconnect from time to time and I can’t take it anymore!! The service here is very poor.

While Apple’s 3.1.3 firmware was minor in terms of new features, it’s had the side effect of opening up a huge market for scam sites. These sites will promise you a 3.1.3 jailbreak for newer devices like the iPod touch 3G, or a baseband 05.12 software unlock. Those desperate enough to “just give it a shot” will find, 100% of the time, that they were misled. After money has changed hands they’ll be told “well the 05.12 unlock is coming, in the meantime here’s the 05.11 unlock” (of course the 05.11 unlock was intended to be free, as you all know). They’ll hold your money until one day the 05.12 unlock does come out, even if that’s months later (and of course it’ll be relehxxp www(dot)unlock-iphone-313(dot)com ased for free on ). In the meantime they’ll be able to claim they gave you part of what they advertised, and keep at least part of your money (in actuality they’ll usually keep all of it).

Hi! Wi-tribe user ako. At first sobrang bilis pero after a few days palaging nagdidisconnect. Nakakainis talaga. Tumawag ako ng technician para pumunta sa bahay ko.

share ko lang experience ko particular sa bayandsl, almost 2 years din kaming subscriber ng bayandsl before, kaso lumipat kame so pinatanggal na, nung 1st time na kinabit nila yung line, ok , kaso after a few days nasira yung modem na binigay nila kaya tumawag ako sa CS after a day me tech na nagpunta pinalitan yung modem, here’s the click with this brand, nung inaayos na nung tech yung lines, me pinalitan silang kung ano sa settings kaso di ko nasundan, me mga digits kase, yung connection namin umabot ng 3mbps kahit 768kbps lang subscribe speed (mabait yung tech) namen kaso nagreformat ako kaya back to normal speed yung net after a week, eto nakakaasar dun, capable naman pala sila magrender ng matinong service eh bat ganito nangyayare? now nagpakabit kame ulet ng bayandsl kaso im not satisfied, im experiencing problems na wala naman date (DC,DC), siguro nga congested na area namen (FAIRVIEW QC) pero 1 month lang naman ako nagunscubscribe, nasa pera pera lang siguro, inuutakan lang nila mga subscribers.
pero related sa topic mas marerecommend ko bayantel kase mejo matino service nila, mabilis makabit, yun lang pag minalas ka sa area nyu, maasar ka din, pero worse pa rin yung ibang isp ng mga kakilala ko dito (Globe, PLDT, SmartBroken) panget na connection antataray pa ng Cs, tas from what ive heard me cap pa daw yung speed ng P2P, lalo na sa globe na nasa contract details pa ata

( I just hope mabasa nyo ng buo ang letter ko kse sobra po talagang haba…sorry po mga sir and maam, give me some advice and feedbacks )
I want to thank you Sir Jehzeel for this blog, I can finally share my experience and angst about my ISP. @#*% Grrr!
I will share my experience with PLDT MyDSL first. When I applied for their bundle 888 ( 3 years ago ), okay naman connection nila. ( we’re living here in Pandacan, Manila by the way ). There was 1 time na-cut ang line ko na wala pa namang due date and when I asked the CS they told me, “System Error lang sir.” I don’t have internet connection for the next 30 days and when the next billing came, may additional charge na for change-of-line daw. I told the CS, how can that be same pa rin tel number at IP address ko. Same answer, system error lang daw. Ng di nila maalis alis sa billing ko yun for several months, I decided na end ko na ties ko with them. Then a demand letter from their lawyer came, sagutin ko nga, di napahiya ang firm at ibabalik na lang daw nya account ko sa PLDT.
Then I transfered to SUN Broadband, hoping I can get a better connection. Bakit ba hindi, e pinagmamalaki nila that every user has an allocation of NOT LOWER THAN 300 KBPS (capslock ko na talaga) burstable of UP TO 2MBPS. Wowwww naman. Sarap pakinggan (postpaid po ako).
Nung first few months, ayos naman. I was impressed when I saw that my torrent download speed goes up to 200+ kbps. Imagine, halos 1 hour lang isang rip na movie.
Then comes my nightmare, Ilang linggo din ako hindi naka-online kse bumigay first PC ko (4years naman na kse) DDR1 pa lang kse, at 576 lang memory. I upgraded it to CoreDuo, with 2gb RAM. Nung
I installed Win7 kse kaya naman, but I dont have my usual speed. I called Sun CS and told me to change it to XP, so reformat ulit ako. Sadly, same pa rin.
Its almost a month now, and I only got 4 – 6 kbps out of 300 kbps they promise. Ginawa ko na rin lahat ng pinagawa nila. Naka-ilang reformat na rin ako. Nakikipag-away na nga ako sa CS nila kse sabi congested daw ung area, e sabi ko alloted ng 300kbps ang bawat user kse promise nila un. they will investigate pa daw. Haay!!
E kung magbayad kaya ako ng P8 sa usual na P800, kse 4 – 6 kbps lang naman nakukuha ko. Yahoo, Google at FB nga 2 mins bago bumukas.
I will try Globe Tatto and Smart Bro dito sa lugar namin to see the difference. Nakahiram na ako ng mga modem eh.
Help naman……

wala sa klase ng os ang speed ng internet mapa XP ka man o Windows 7 same. sinong nagsabi na pag binalik mo sa xp bibilis ang speed? sakalin mo yung nagsabi na cs. ke bago o luma ang pc pag mabagal speed mabagal. end of story. DI OS DEPENDENT AND SPEED NG INTERNET. kahit palitan mo pa ng quadcore i7 pc mo kung simbilis lang ng lakad and speed ng kaya ibigay ng isp mo forget it.

Depende rin sa Os ang bilis dahil ang XP kaunti lang ports na open, 10 lang ata., so if you know how to open a lot of ports it will speed up your internet. the reason why XP’s open ports are at default to 10 is because of viruses. mahina ang defense and windows know it.
So technically XP’s internet speed is inferior to later OSs…
You can search some website on how to open the XP ports up to 1000++ using DOS. But it will put your pc at risk. But will speed up your internet connection.

Dito kami sa Loyola Hts QC. Sky Zpdee user kami since 2007 (3 yrs). Okay ang connection. There were glitches din pero parang minor lang compared sa iba.
Ang problem, tuwing nag-a-upgrade (“daw”) sila, nasisira router namin. Last time, yung support nila may binigay na setting (sa IP yata, not sure) tapos pag-reset, ok na uli. Etong huli, nagfla-fluctuate na pag naka-connect sa LinkSys router namin pero ok pag direct (di ginagamit ang router). Ayaw nila kami bigyan ng configuration setting, di daw yun. Pumunta pa tech nila sa bahay, router na daw prob. Sunday morning, nagamit ko pa internet. Nung Sunday night, nawala internet kase nga upgrading tapos dun na nagloko router. Anybody who’s experiencing the same or baka who knows what’s happening? Thanks!

But now (as of June 5, 2010) parang bumagal bigla. Kasi ung plan po namin is Plan 990. And now I’m planning to change my ISP Globe Broadband dahil nakita yung basic internet plan nila na P995/month with a speed of 1Mbps. Sa mga naka-experience na po ng Globe Broadband jan na ang internet plan ay tulad ng nabanggit ko. Share mo naman feelings mo.

I have Globe Broadband for 6mos. now, 1Mbps for P995/mos. It was good, i dont know if it is true but when i test the speed, it was what im paying for.
Download is 100-120Kbps, little slow but fine with me.
Streaming is also good.
The only prob. is, sometimes i cant connect to any site, looks like i lost a connection and needs a couple of restarts and for streaming and downloading they get affected if a lot is using the same ISP. But i think it really happened in all ISPs.
Overall, for me Globe Broadband is good.

ang mahirap sa globe ay reliability. bago lang sila sa net business at ang kanliang infrastructure ay mahina pa. agree ako bumaba speed ng pldt from 2 weeks ago. but as of now ito ang best choice. not unless you want to try bayantel na lagi dc pag download.

Has anyone tried WI-TRIBE?
I use 1mb globe broadband wired no landline.
I’m thinking of switching to Tattoo since I’m not home all the time anyway and I don’t think i’m using up 995 a month of their service. I might as well make the switch.
Or maybe Wimax is better than Tattoo.
Globe sucks as much as the rest. I know it but I chose globe since My Mobile is also subscribe with them. Free call customer service at least.

If you are a gamer,developer, IT ,or if your expecting a consistent connection, dont go the SKY BROADBAND way, mag sisisi lang kyo.service will be good for the first 15-30 days and the rest is hell.
Skybroadband PANG SURF LANG, in short, parang dial up lang din haha. (thats a bitter laughter, i was screwed, i subscribed to it)
heres the real deal, sabi nila kanila pinakamataas na download speed, yan primary marketing ploy nila, and yet bawal torrent sa skybroadband, pag nag torrent ka, the fastest bandwidth youl get is 56kbps, unlike pldt mydsl which could go as high as 1 mbps. with normal download, 1mbps subscription, sky at best ,offpeak, can provide you with 70-100 kbps..way far off from the advertised rate.BEWARE..CAVEAT EMPTOR.

I beg to disagree kay she, my Sky Broadband at 3mbps bursts download speed to maximum, off peak. 4gb download ko laging tapos. HTTP download ko consistent 200-300KB/sec pero everything is dependent to 1) torrent health, 2) server location and 3) competency ng gumagamit.

Maliban na lang kung gumagamit sila ng technology na katulad sa DTV or DishNet sa states… hahahaha!
Besides 80KBps? I’m getting (or was) getting 300+ for Globe WiMax via bittorent. Kung Fi-Ops nga yan it should go way beyond that… tsk! ISPs in the Philippines are really at it.

I am actually using plan 1998 (2mbps) with 12GB cap limit. As for me, I haven’t got any problems with the service. Their customer care are well trained. In fact, they have the most courteous and professional technical support I have encountered for an internet service provider. My problem is that there are times that the connection fluctuates and instead of getting the full speed that I should be getting, I am getting only 25% (700 Kbps). Also, we are 5 in the family that sometimes share the connection at one point. 12GB of capacity is so easy to consume most especially if you are a heavy downloader. In just 3 days I found out that I was already consuming 10 GB, None of us don’t even download movies nor watch streaming videos!!! So to all of you who are planning to acquire this product, then better step back and think twice if you don’t want to be lured to another provider that won’t return your money’s worth.

I think naka rely ang connection depende sa area, connection speed you subscribed on, sa ISP, at sa OS operation sytem at specs ng pc ng user…
Kung magsusubscribe ka pa lang, make some research about sa area mo, magtanung ka sa mga kapitbahay na naka subscribe na at hingiin mo yung opinion about them, second go to the main office about ISP at makipagusap ng maayos about ur concern, sana lang yung mga nasa CS ay mga IT tlga na madaming alam tungkol sa technical issue when it comes to this services, usally kasi dinadaan ka lang nila sa charm… For example your main concern is gaming, or just web browsing,dl..etc…
Third which is important din is yung mga cheapest plan out there, like plan 999 etc… madami nang naka subscribe meaning madami ka na kaagaw sa server, ports o kung anu mang tech terms ang tawag jan… based lang naman sa mga nabasa ko…
Mas ok din kung magiging mabait at matanung ka at makiusap sa technician na gagawa o magiinstall, like “kuya gawan mo naman ng paraan para medyo bumilis yung connection… add mo ko sa fb ah” since un madalas ginagawa ko, konting lambing seset na niya yung IP address sa pinakamabilis na connection (possible)….
So, research muna at magtanung, being informed is the best way para maiwasan ang scam at panloloko kasi sa mga ganyan puro agent makakausap mo lalo na pag wireless so lahat ng panguuto gagawin ng mga yan… tanungin mo about technical terms di rin naman makasagot…ang sakin lang wag agad padadala sa matatamis na salita at pangako

dati globe broadband 1mb gamit ko. ok naman ang speed minsan, pero pag nagkaproblema sa line nila, 1 week ka mawawalan ng internet at phone line and worse consistent pa pag nawala. kahit ninakaw na yung linya ng globe sa area namin at nai-report na (obviously, wala na yung cable line kaya pati connection ng internet at phone wala na din) pero ang bill sige pa din dating. kahit nai-report na, puro sorry and follow-up reports nalang CSR nila.
now i’m using smartbro, after 6 months of subscribing to them, ngayon lang ako nagkaron ng problema with their speed and connection. i’ve been calling their customer service for 3 weeks now, reporting about the frequent internet interruption at mas mabagal pa sa snail na may hika sa bagal ang internet speed.
ngayon: download speed: 133kbps upload speed: 33kbps (using speedtest.net) sa 2wire naman: 51kbps.

ang masasabi ko lan lahat ng ISP dito sa Pinas mahal… sa ibang bansa mura lan kasi implemented ang latest technology dito lan sa Pinas hindi latest. Cabled connection kasing mahal ng wireless connection(broadband)???? cabled connection can provide 10 times more faster than broadband in terms of their maximum capabilities. Dapat 10 times masmura ung cabled kung ganun.
In terms of ISP’s, dito sa Pinas depende yan sa location mo kung maganda ung connection. Mayroon kasing memorandum sa government natin na hatiin daw ng mga providers ang location na bibigyan nila ng service. Kasi ung naunang nag-provide ng service(telepono) ung PLDT. Dahil marami na silang na provide pede mangyari na monopolize nila lahat ng customers. To provide some chances sa iba, nagbigay sila ng memo.
Kaya research na lan, what is best in your location. (In my experience masmarami ang bad connection sa good :smile: :smile: )

I’m a Skybroadband user. Share ko lang.
Nung pinakabit ko siya, September 18 2010, pinakita nung nagkabit yung speed niya through speedtest.net then lumabas 1.44mbps. Tama naman siya kasi plan 999 lang naman e.
Kung gamer ka, wag na wag mo ng balakin pa!!!! Eto ha, simula nung kinabit siya, hindi kana makakapag dota using garena, kase fix na yung ping mo sa 280++. Oo, mag-aappear yung nasa room na player ng 1 bar sayo, pero pag chineck ping mo sila 280++ lage lalabas.
Then sa SpecialForce, ang ping mo hindi tataas ng 50, pero DELAY KA. Kumbaga disguise lang yung 50 ping mo. The fact is around 150 to 200 yung ping mo.
Sa Dragonica, Ragnarok at halos na ata lahat ng mmorpg games e log ka e. Kung hindi log yun, delay. Sobra!!
Eto pa, sa pag download ng PSP games, nung 1st month ko dito sa SkyBroadband, nakaka 160kbps pa ako pag nag da-download. Eh nung mag De-december aba, palong palo sa 7THOUSAND KILOBYTES TO 20 KBPS. Imagine KILOBYTES??? Ilang araw yun?? 1gig = 10+days mo ida-download. Demmet.
( Eh buti pa sa smart bro pag madaling araw nakaka 60-70kbps at stable pa yun.)
Pero eto possitive, kung net surfer ka naman eto talaga bagay sayo.
Kasi super bilis niya sa youtube, fb. Sa frostwire din ok siya.( frostwire = music downloader)
May sakit din to e, yung 2-5 times disconnect per day.
Pero minsan naman hindi nangyayari.
Hindi ko sinisiraan tong Skybroadband ha. Eto lang na eexperience ko hanggang ngayon. Pagkatapos ng kontrata dito ipapa permanent DC ko na to.
Siguro PLDT plant 999 nalang ako.
P.S
Hanggang ngayon 1.44mbps parin ang speed niya na lumabas sa SPEEDTEST.NET <— kasabwat ata nila to e. Hehe. Sige bye.

siguro ang ISP nakapende talaga sa location. PLDT kasi gamit ko dati pero sobrang naddisconnect siya. nagsurvey din ako ng magagandang ISP at nalaman ko na sa area namin (SM Novaliches area) pinakastable ang bayantel DSL. yun ang pinakabit namin at hindi naman ako nagsisisi kasi sobrang stable at bilis niya. plan 1.5mbps lang kinuha ko pero sulit, yung 700MB movie torrent na dinownload ko sa PLDT dati, it takes 2 1/2 hours pero sa bayantel 30 minutes to 1 hour lang.. nga pala pareho silang 1.5mbps plan so mas maganda tlga yung sa bayantel

I am looking for a better ISP on our area (Zabarte, Novaliches) para mapalitan na itong Smart Broke connection ko. Ilang taon na akong nagtyatyaga kc plan 999 (mura eh) but I can’t take it anymore na lalo na’t sobrang laking perwisyo sa work ko (homebased kc ako). Palaging putol-putol yun connection, tuwing madaling araw lang siya bumibilis saka maayos! Every weekend mas grabe kc wala na talaga pumapasok na net! Naka-ilang pagawa na rin ako sa Smart Broke nito, lahat ng nag-aayos dito sinasabi paputol ko na lol. Eh wala kc ako alam na maganda ISP eh dito sa amin, neighbors ko puro SB…
Nakakairita na tumawag sa hotline nila puro pulpol naman yun agent, yung iba may binabasa script eh hindi naman alam sinasabi, paulit-ulit hindi naman naaayos. Kainis talaga. Sama lagi ng loob ko kapag magbabayad ng bill kc lugi ako talaga sa service.

I’ve read so many forums but the last one I was in had a unanimous result among its commentators. When it comes to DSKL internet, the top favourites for consistency and reliability are Bayan DSL and Destiny broadband.
I just wish there was a clearer concensus regarding wireless ISP bec. that’s what I’d really like to use when I’ll be temporarily staying in the Philippines starting this June. But it seems that there is no clear frontrunner among them.

Hoy!! mga wla alm sa networking.!! for your information…!!
kaya mabagal yung bandwidth(connection) nyu dahil yan sa location at dami ng gumagamit ng isang ISP(internet service provider)sa lugar nyu..!!
kasi pag marami na masyado yung gumagamit ng Prehong ISP .Bumabagal ang Connection..
Alam Nyu Kung Bakit..?
Dahil sina subnet pa nila yung isang subnet ng isang network ID..
Kaya Bumabagal..!!
Business kasi yann
Isang Ip adress sa kanila Katumbas ai pera,,!!
suggestion ko lng,
mag pa subscribe kayu ng ISP na hindi masyadong ginagamit sa n.ung lugar,,!! Okie..!!
hindi yan kasalanan ng ISP,,!!

Tama naman, depende sa location, at sa dami ng gumagamit kung saang base station ka nakaconnect, kahit nasa iisang lugar kasi kayo iba iba ang base station na pngakakabitan nyo, base sa experience ko sa smartbro, lately lage wala connection kya nagpalipat kami ng base station, mas okay na ngayun kesa dti. haha

yan din ang nasa isip kongako sila na babilis at alang hasel na konekyon tapos ay hindi nila maibiya ang kanilang mga pinagako…..katulad ng saki up to 384kbps mydsl ang speed ko
plan 990 pero ala pa sa speed na pinagako nila ne hnd nga umaabot ng 300kbps ang speed nila nasa 200 to 280 kbps lang ang speed ko tapos taas pa ng ping 500ms super bagal

as far as I know, dipende yan sa location mo. taga las pinas ako and PLDT MyDSL works great kompera sa Globe at smart at 1.5mbps connection, ang globe at smart malaki ang burst speed (mga 5-10 sec. ng download) sa exp. ko naka-abot ng 400kbps tapos pa baba ng pa baba hanggang mag steady siya sa 55% to 70% ng bandwidth mo. (1500 kilobytes per second connection speed / 8 bytes = to your max download speed +- 4 to 8 kbps) so sa 55 to 70% ng max download speed mo pag globe ka at smart ang labas niyan is 103.125 kbps to 131.25 kbps ang steady download ng globe at smart. sa PLDT MyDSL naman pag nag-download ako parating mag start sa 1kbps to 20 kbps tapos palaki ng palaki ang download speed ko hangang mag max sa download speed ko which is for a 1500kbps connection speed is 187.5 kbps, minsan 192kbps ang max download speed ko.. at ang maganda pa diyan is… hangang matapos ang download ko yan ang speed niya.. hindi katulad sa naranasan ko sa globe at smart na erratic ang download speed. which sinabi ko na 55 to 70% ang range ng steady download speed nilang dalawa.

kaya po naglalagay ng speedcap andg mga ISP para po ma-maintain ang speeds ng users at bandwith. believe me mas worst pa yung sa US. i’m working for a US based ISP. so if mabagal po ang internet nyo maybe dahil may congestion sa network kasi may mga heavy users na sobra kung gumamit ng bandwith kaya bumabagal yung service ng ibang users…

If you are like me using Smart Bro and only getting dial-up speeds, the first thing you should do do is complain directly to the NTC using their website, ntc.gov.ph. If you search ntc.gov.ph with google, may direct link papunta sa complaint form nila.
I also made a facebook page called ‘Smart Bro are Thieves’, because this is the most common remark I seem to find on the internet. If you are like me and feel that Smart is stealing your hard earned money, please visit and like my page at:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Smart-Bro-are-Thieves/186484471397266
Maybe with enough likes, we can get Smart to listen, or at least let the rest of the world know that SMART BRO ARE THIEVES! Ninanakaw nila ang pera ‘natin!

ayun, na share ko lang yung exprience ko sa mga internet sa lugar namin :grin: . hindi naman ibig sabihin na up to 2mbps ang offer sayo ay 2mbps na din ang speed mo. ibig sabihin 2mbps ang pinaka sagad na speed mo. kaya magingat din tayo sa pili ng net provider dahil magkaiba ang UP TO sa STABLE na speed na offer ng mga company

Guys ito good news para sa mabilis na internet:
Leading telecommunication companies in Asia have signed an agreement to build a US$430-million next generation high bandwidth optical fiber underwater cable system that will link Japan, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Singapore.
at ito ang mga ISP na nag sign nang agreement:
The parties who signed the agreement last January 27 were Philippine Long Distance and Telephone Company (PLDT), NTT Communications of Japan, and StarHub of Singapore. Telekom Malaysia (TM) signed a separate agreement with NTT Communications in Kuala Lumpur.

ang speed ng service kahit anong provider dependent sa 1.) plan na kinuha. 2.)area or location.
may mga area na mabilis ang bawat provider. may area na kahit mabilis yung plan ang bagal ng speed.

I agree that it depends on the area, Keep in mind though that whichever ISP you get, there will always come a time that something will go wrong. That’s why my advice is to consider their customer support.
PLDT has, by far, the worst customer service, calling them involves a 15-30 minute hold time. After which, your call will get picked up by an agent, IT WILL GET DISCONNECTED immediately. No one will call you back so do not wait for that. It’s been years since I was last with them but I still come across people with similar experience.
Smart is not much better, they’ll give the run around whenever their services are down and you ask when they’ll have things running again. I know someone who didn’t get any service for 3 weeks but Smart still had the nerve to bill the entire month.
Globe has really shitty after sales service, customer service calls will often get disconnected as well. No call backs either. Shit service too.
Sun isn’t any better same as their other company digitel, not very customer friendly at all.
Of the many ISP’s that I have tried Bayantel had the most decent customer service, they aren’t perfect but at least they give most of what you’d expect from a company you pay to keep you online. The only problem is that they have severely limited presence outside of metro Manila.
My final advice is that if you have no other choice and you only have to choose from PLDT, Globe, Smart or some other ISP that you know has shitty customer Service, get fake documents when applying. This way, you do not have to keep getting ass raped by your ISP should your relationship turn sour before your lock in period runs out. Just pay what you’ve used and leave.

grabe ang blog na ito… ang daming response. Thank you for the blog! So far sa mga nabasa kong reply nalaman kong di ako ang ng i-isang disappointed sa PLDT SERVICE SUCKS!!! customer care, customer service “daw” dapat palitan nila ang tawag sa kanila “CUSTOMER NO-SERVICE” OR “PISSED CUSTOMER CURSE ABSORBER”! Di ako makapaniwalang ma bubuwisit nila ako ng ganito….. di ako madaling maasar o mabwisit na tao pero dahil sa karimarimarim na service nila it squeeze the worst out of me.
this is what happen, my phone line was dead as well my dsl internet service tuesday… right then and then i reported it NICELY…
then Wednesday i updated my report NICELY, the line was under line testing outside (pldt box) —it took another 24 hrs!
Here comes thursday … they say it was not resolve thru line testing technician is already dispatch in the area, waiting the whole day no show of the technician.
Here comes friday…i update again.. no show of technician. This time im pissed because they already telling lies…
Finally, Saturday afternoon the technician is here!!!
i have connection from mid pm of saturday, sunday, monday, then tuesday here again…the service is DEAD ONCE AGAIN. the same senario happens it tooks 4days before the technician came… right after that week here comes tuesday again PLDT SERVICE IS DEAD FOR THE THIRD TIME…. i went to PLDT office by thursday i wanted my service to be terminated but the customer care???? daw ask me to give chance until today.. she called MR.VENTURA the technician “head?” daw! and assured me by FRIDAY THATS TODAY the technician is coming. NO TECHNICIAN PA DIN!!!
now iTs friday midnight and i am using my globe sim card searching for the best service provider and i found this blog. WE JUST ALL PROVE HOW SUCK PLDT SMART SERVICE…
I FEEL SORRY FOR THE EMPLOYEES IMPLEMENTING THEIR POOR, HORRIBLE PLDT SYSTEM “IT NOT A SYSTEM AT ALL”. WAKE UP!!! BIG BOSSES…. BAKA MAGISING KAYO WALA NA CUSTOMER NAGTITIWALA SA INYO.
nakakaawa ang mga agent nila 171 customer no service ng PLDT. ginagawa lang silang mga stupid ng PLDT system dun. they tell you na report is being posted, im sorry i cant commit anything, well assured your report is posted and i will call the attention of the concern party. sana ginawa na lang silang talking computer dun.

Sky Broadband used to be better. I never had any problems with them and if ever they were down may reason like Typhoon and the lines got cut. But lately they have been racking up some negative points. I have a standard gold account. 1.5 mbps pero sobra bagal lalo na peak hours of 8 am and 8 pm. and there are times na wala connection for several minutes but usually same time like 10am dito sa Makati. Also been getting alot of problems with their connection being down due to maintenance siguro twice in a month na which was never heard of before. usually mga 8 – 12 hours down.

For me, the BEST would be BAYAN DSL. Tried PLDT before, pero nagdodown palagi, had to call cust service. We have bayan dslf or 6 months now, NEVER kami nawalan ng connection, except nalang nung naputulan kami. Hehehe. Kaya never ko pa nakausap customer support nila. As you can also see sa post, wala ka mababasang super negative comments. Meaning, talagang maganda siya. It may be slow for congested areas, pero very minimal to no downtime at all.
For those who are not sure what to get, lahat naman halos ng provider eh may trial eh. Go for the the trial first, tanong tanong din sa kapitbahay, kasi it also depends on the area.
So, get the trial first.OBSERVE then DECIDE. Goodluck!

Wireless connections especially those that use USB dongles are pretty useless especially kung sa urban area ka nakatira and madami kayong gumagamit. My friends and I were able to locate several signal towers from Globe, Smart and Sun and signal is good but internet speed is still no where near the published rate even when you are practically next to the tower. And that’s for all of them. The connection is shared with other subscribers so it makes it next to impossible na mareach ung 2mbps. Most of the time nasa less than 40kbps lang nakukuha, para lang mas mastress kung gaano kabagal yan, >15 years ago dial up ang gamit ng mga tao, 56kb speed nun. Ang pinakamagal na wired connection e 384kbps… so unless wala talgang choice stay away from those things…. aksaya sa pera at oras lang aabutin

Just want to ask, after more than three years of blogging, nakapag-decide ka na ba? Ano na napili mo? I’m from Balayan, Batangas. Depende nga ata talaga sa location mo ang speed na makukuha mo. Dito samin, globe at smart bro ang top two choice. Sabi nila malakas dw talaga ung bayandsl sa manila area, kaso wala nun dito sa amin. I also need help choosing between globe and smart bro. May pldtdsl din nga pala dito, kaso ung malakas lang ata ay ung 5mbps na plan. Isa pa, may naririnig ako na pag naka-broadband daw ay nawawalan ng signal pag maulan o mahangin, totoo ba un?

Right now, the best wired DSL providers are either Globe or PLDT. Around 2008, BayanDSL’s quality was ok, pero gradually na nagdecrease dahil sa taas ng latency at slow download speed. Ngayon bagsak na talaga ang kalidad nila.

sa akin naman pldt dsl. plan 888 pa nun kaso wala na sila ngayon nito 999 na ata ang pinaka mababa nila offer. so far wala naman ako problem sa speed nila kaya very satisfied na ako dito. infairness, lumipat na kami at pinatransfer namin dito sa bago house yung phone namin ok parin. almost 5 years na kami naka pldt dsl. mag down man connect din agad after a few minute. minsan kasi sa router na namin problem eh. di ko kasi i no-off yung router at halos 24 hrs naman bukas ang laptop/pc namin. ^^

tulad ng sinabi ng mga katoto natin 4 years ago.. bwisit parin ang smartbro hanggang ngayon.. i’ve sent them several emails complaining about how bad the receive and transmit but it seems THEY DONT CARE. if i only have other options i wouldnt use this ISP.

taga-Kingsvill ako, tapat ng SM Masinag, at currently, naka-Sun 799 plug-in kami, at balak namin magpa-upgrade ng router gamit ng parehong plug-in unit. Masama ang connection from 6-11:30 PM, ok from midnight until morning, although nung huli sobrang lag even at midnight.
Ang madalas na gamitin na sites: LJ, tumblr, YouTube, twitter, Yahoo!Mail at chat, at nanonood din sa mga streaming sites for Asian dramas. Ano kaya ang ok na ISP para sa mga sites na ‘to?

From Kingsville Exec. Village, Antipolo City here. We are currently using Sun plug-in 799, and signal’s bad between 5:30-11:30 PM, and ok from midnight onwards, though as of late, midnight connection lags, too (I was suddenly disconnected at certain times, and would have to reconnect). We are considering an upgrade for the router unit with the same plug-in unit, but considering how bad the internet signal gets, I’m now asking for other options. I usually use twitter, LiveJournal, tumblr, YouTUbe, Yahoo!Mail and Yahoo Messenger on a daily basis. What would be the ideal ISP for these needs (wired, wireless broadband), also considering our location?

Ang speed tlga ng internet connection really depends kung san place ka…. tulad di2 sa Agusan Del Norte… Top ISP provider namin di2 ang Bayan DSL kaso paminsan-minsan… bumabagal DL speed.. nka ilang tawag na ako sa Customer Service nuon pre inaayos nman nla agad…
Ang PLDT dito… ang PUTA.. halos wlang internet connection for 5 days to 1 week… nalulugeh na nga ilang internet shops di2 samin….

taga santolan-pasig ako, tanong din, ano ang pinaka-ok na broadband sa location namin?
matatapos na ang 2 yrs bond ko sa mabagal na smart bro (canopy), upto 2 mbps daw but pag mag dload ako sa torrent, average of 55kbps lang and pag direct download, average is 60-70kbps dati, pero ngayon 40kbps na lang (yan un last download ko).. tama ba un para sa upto 2mbps nila.. alam ko na hindi talaga 2mbps ang makukuha ko.sabi sakin, to calculate your download speed, INTERNET SPEED/8, but pag cinalculate ko un 55kbps na yan, wala pa sa 512kbps ang speed ng connection ko, what the..ang naging problem ko lang kay smart is dati, un binigay nila na power adapter ng canopy ko, 5 minutes before mag-on, akala ko normal lang un.. until it took 30 minutes para mag-on then hanggang hindi na sya nag-on, it took 2 weeks bago ma-replace ang adaptor and take note, nung tumawag ako sa kanila, pinapatroubleshoot pa un LAN CARD ok and pinapatry sa other desktop or laptop, ang SABI KO NGA IS PANO KO MATTRY KUN ANG MISMONG ADAPTER NG CANOPY IS HINDI NAG-OON hanggang sa hinold ako forever. Best lesson ko is not to call those f***ing agent (alam naman natin na may SOP sila but they should always put theirselves as a customer and owner as well for the business) but to go to smart center at dun magalit
