PLDT now offers 10Mbps DSL plan for Php4,000

In a TV commercial aired last Saturday, PLDT introduced a new DSL plan which offers up to 10Mbps for just Php4,000. That makes it the top broadband offering under the myDSL service line-up (PLDT MyDSL Plan 4000).

Prior to this, they have a Plan Xcel 3000 at 5Mbps. The Plan Xtreme 4000 doubles that speed up to 10Mbps. The plan is not yet up on their website but a release sent to us this evening shows the new one.

Take note though that this is for residential line and it’s not really a guaranteed speed. My 2Mbps Plan 1995 only gives me somewhere around 1Mbps so I’m thinking a Plan 10Mbps should deliver 5Mbps on a regular peak hours.

Anybody willing to shell out Php4,000 a month for 10Mbps?

w3icehands · 15 years ago

4K for a 10mbps is too much … assuming you don’t get 10mbps which is always true btw…you only get half of what you pay for…tsk tsk

BoRiS · 15 years ago

Yes!!!!!!! Maka upgrade na nga ulit! Sulit yan pag malapit ka sa pldt main server sa area niyo.. Samin consistent 5mbps buong araw.. Bihirang bumabagsak under 4mbps.. So kung maka upgrade kmi nang 10mbps, cguradong consistent dn yan! :)

russlee · 15 years ago

anyone experiencing the same problem when downloading using utorrent internet goes down every 5 mins or so? when router restart internet is back but if utorrent still on internet goes down again after 5 mins… im on 5mbps pldt

Vekou X Aitenshi · 15 years ago

Sana sa mga subscription na ganyan may mga free 30-day trial period, bago ka pumirma ng contract. Para naman ma-experience muna ng mga subscribers kung gaaano talaga kabilis ang up to 10Mbps na yan.

Max · 15 years ago

It’s not available sa lahat ng area. Like dito sa binondo area wala pa daw so I think nde lahat ng manila area meron inuna nila yun mga rich cities na magaapply agad.

jhepoyski · 15 years ago

dapat i upgrade na din nila ang plan 1mbps. hehehe

2lits · 15 years ago

Sana lahat ng Bayan Tel Gloobe PLDT mag baba na sila ng price………..

Glenn Vincent · 15 years ago

Any feedback about skybroadband? Meron kasing 15 days free trial. Maganda kaya?

Jing · 15 years ago

skybroadband is not that good in terms of speed as compared to globe. I’m trying out their 1mbps plan 999 free trial right now and i also just had globe 1mbps bundled with landline which has a fairly fast connection downside is globe has intermittent connection in our area (manggahan, pasig–ondoy stricken). i hope pldt is available here..

Jenny Reyes · 15 years ago

3mbps pldt dsl speed since 2007!

Miklos · 15 years ago

I have a 3Mbit Globe DSL that gives me 8-8.5Mbit downstream everyday since it was installed over 6 months ago – and my downstream caps out around 700Kbit.

Pretty good for a 3000/500 at 1995 peso.

Rey · 15 years ago

Ang gamit ko ay 1mps BayanDSL satisfied talaga ako sa speed kasi I swear ang minimum speed na na-e-experience ko ay 800kbps. Tapos my burst speed na 1.2mbps. 2 weeks ko na siyang gamit. Ang location ko pala ay sa Sto. Domingo. Share lang. :D

Kyle · 15 years ago

We’ve been Plan 1995 on PLDT for nearly a decade now. They’ve delivered near (around 70-90%) their speed for most of the time and it’s been years since we’ve called anyone from PLDT for assistance. Then again, it could have something to do with the nearby PLDT office which is relatively large.

daniel · 15 years ago

wow! kami plan 3000 lng sa PLDT. 5.3 mbps sya tuwing gabi.. pagka umaga 4.2mbps like ngaung tinatype ko to. sobrang bilis na nga ng 4mbps eh haha di uso loading sa youtube. pero dagdag ka 1k for 10mbps? sulit ha! contented talaga ako sa PLDT d2 sa amin.

jayman · 15 years ago

honestly our internet service here is overpriced and slow…i dont know why our local telcos cant offer those packages from our neighbors…i lived in thailand for some months and we had a 12mbps connection for only 750 baht (roughly 900pesos)…and considering that pldt is held almost major by ntt then why cant they offer the same pricing scheme in japan (my sister has a 15mbps connection for 1500 yen monthly)…considering that we have one of the best broadband and telco facilities in the world…pera pera talaga maryosep

Kenth · 15 years ago

Again, as advertised, it is just the maximum speed (up to) achievable assuming all conditions are perfect. :) For the lucky few, they will reach this speed, but I doubt it for the majority.

Where is the fine print? Most probably it will state “â€œMinimum GPRS speed of 12-48kbps, where broadband service is availableâ€”. Or something similar that is applicable to their DSL links, maybe 384kbps minimum?

erik · 15 years ago

when will this service be available?

Technokyle · 15 years ago

Sana mag upgrade din ang Bayan DSL ^^ for a low price!

jonaflormicfren · 15 years ago

Well, let’s give them chance to show their offer. It’s not wise to judge without letting them perform it.

mattscradle · 15 years ago

Ang susuwerte nyo naman sa globe. Dito sa area namin mabagal ang net ng globe.

Marco · 15 years ago

Is that really fast?

shakey · 15 years ago

Sana dumating yung araw na wala ng “up to” sa offers nila.

Florence · 15 years ago

Dito din sa cavite hindi pa lahat ng area abot ng pldt. Like itong area namen sa dasmariÃ±as, cavite. Yung area na lang ata namen ang hindi abot. kainis lang. I’m happy with globe though. Haha

keyboard · 15 years ago

I subscribe to the 999 plan but for the past several months swerte ako to hit 5MBPs (20 days a month). What I don’t like about PLDT is their broadband capping, 40GB (1++GB per day) in a month balik na sa dialup ang speed ng Internet nila. Nakakainis kailangan mo pang tumawag sa call center nila para mareset sa dati kahit nagturn over na kalendaryo sa bagong month.

John · 15 years ago

yup, swertihan lang din sa location yan, plan 999 kami, but we can get up to 1.8mbps

darkpalosx · 15 years ago

ayan na start ng scheme ng pldt smart suncell ni mvp para masolo ang market.kaya globe pa rin ako para may competition!

I have PLDT plan 999 NGN in pampanga. Fortunately, I can get 1-1.3 mbps. Swerte lang sa location

weewaa · 13 years ago

lol, are you sure?? paln 999 is just 300+ regardless if you live right beside pldt you wont get 1mbps.

vance · 15 years ago

@abe wow 1 mbps lang ave ng connection niyo po? maybe its time to change ISP.

The problem with our internet connection here in manila is that is not consistent on all areas. There are some areas that a certain ISP works great and there some areas that they don’t.

I’m fortunate to be located where bayantel works great except for daily disconnections, I do get what I paid for.

I won’t shed out 4K for a PLDT dsl! The worse part about this ISP is their after sales service! It takes them 2 weeks or so to just respond to your problem and fix their lines.

bogart · 15 years ago

Skybroadband is fast, but only for casual internet users. It does not support online gaming. In addition, torrent download is radically slowed down.

jayb · 15 years ago

globelines broadband is better. Pag sinabi mong 3mbps, talagang 3mbps ang connection mo even during peak hours. .

Stephen Warren · 15 years ago

I have the 3mb Excel in an old building in Pasay. In reality it gives me around 1MBps but it’s better than getting 500kbps on the lower plans.

chinitoguy · 15 years ago

I’m not interested…. Im already switching to Sky. We are going to try subscribing to Sky’s Bundle offers – Sky Voice, Sky Broadband and Sky Cable.

John Alvero · 15 years ago

10Mbps over copper wire? It’s doable if PLDT has high quality copper wiring. Higher speeds need higher quality wiring. Otherwise if you bump-up the speed, frequent disconnections follow. That is why existing PLDT customers who are subscribed to say 3mbps, overtime, copper wiring will degrade and you keep having frequent disconnections. Here comes a PLDT guy trying to fix your connection and the fix? Let you your modem manually negotiate at lower speed. So i doubt PLDT will be able to deliver that speed.

Soul Annihilator · 15 years ago

Yun ang mahirap e. You cannot opt to have the DSL alone. Kelangan may landline pa rin and that landline’s bill is on top of your DSL subscription bill.

I’ll just wait for Globe to upgrade their plans as well.

Renel · 15 years ago

Mas mura ang DSL ng Globe at hindi na kailangan ng landline

Sa PLDT kahit hindi mo kailangan ng landline wala kang magagawa, kaya additional 700+ sa bill

Currently 6mbps ang connection namin sa Globe…hintay ko nalang cguro na mag upgrade ang globe

Renel · 15 years ago

Hindi po ito available sa lahat ng area. Dito sa Cebu wala pa :(

eason · 15 years ago

I was a PLDT DSL subscriber before but we changed to globe DSL for the good.

For one thing that 4k plan will have to need a POSTPAID LANDLINE, so that is another 790 pesos on top of it.

WIth globe its just 2k a months for 3mbps but its still fast for surfing even my brothers are in torrent, online gaming and my mom on skype.

zeratul88 · 15 years ago

80% reliability? I doubt it.

PLDCsucks · 15 years ago

Pfffft. Pldt should stop rolling out new plans and concentrate on making their lines more stable and reliable. A lot of people complain about frequent disconnections and erratic speeds. They should focus on that first.
Look at PLDT’s fanpage on facebook, it’s filled with complaints. Why? Because of bad service. PLDT has no forum on their dsl site, so some dude made an unofficial PLDT page and people started going there to complain. How about PLDT’s official fanpage? You can’t post on the wall. You can only guess why.

What’s the use of your uber 10mbps if you can’t use it when it’s raining. You call PLDT and they tell you they don’t know what’s wrong and they’ll be sending a tech out. Tech comes when it’s not raining so they say there’s no problem. It rains again and you have no internet again and the cycle continues.

Seriously PLDT. What’s up with you?
