IPStar offers Satelite Internet in the Philippines

A new Thai-based satellite broadband provider, IPStar, is now offering broadband internet anywhere in the Philippines for as low as $49 a month.

Last Thursday, IPStar revealed their commercial offering for satellite internet with starting packages (IPSTAR BigSky) as affordable as $49/month (Php2,500). Higher plans are available for bigger bandwidth.


The Phillipine gateway of IPSTAR is located at Angeles Industrial Park, Pampanga as seen on the photos above.

Downstream speeds are estimated to reach 8Mbps with upstream speed of 4Mbps. Not sure how much that one would cost you. See more info about them here.

    Paul is that for real? From what I know is that their 1 complete set of equipment cost around 50k, but if you’ll getting the equipment used during the election before you can get a discount for that. Normally, if you apply for a subscription the shipment was included in the installation fee that they’re quoting.

    check the previous comments in this blog. So its impossible that the 1 complete set cost that much!.

    You visited WIT yesterday to buy 1 set of equipment? I know you can just deposit the payment instead of personally going to their office. We have our equipment installed in LIPA and it was their installer who delivered it during that time.

    very long time hindi ako naka comment dito. Kung meron kayong ibang alternative bukod sa IPSTAR don n lng kayo. Sayang ang binabayad. P4000/month 256kbps lngg. d bale sana kung consistent. Most of the time wla kang maibrowse na webpage. More than 500 schools na ang gumagamit pero yong shared bandwith ganun pa rin. Ayaw sabihin ng WIT kung ilan ang Bandwith intended for DEPED schools

  7. romel says:

    kung wlang ibang alternative, mg apply na lng kayo for residential burstable up to 1MBPS, P2000/month daw. Try nyo mg inquire sa 027269817 WIT office

    Our school was connected through WIT…Our first three months na connection ay ok..But it’s getting worse than ever..we are paying a MSF of Php 4,000.00 for a supposedly 512kbps bandwith but we are not getting what we paid for…We have asked the service provider regarding this and they promised to clear this out but until now no news from them…kung mayroon kayong ibang options maghanap na lang kayo…we spent Php 160,000.00 for the satellite deployment and network peripherals…

  15. juru says:

    accrding to one of technician hu installed ipstar on our school, it’s the deped hu decide as to how much speed will each of the schools will get kya mabagal ksi shared sa isang plan lhat ng recipient schools. its also them who blocked the fb site.

  16. Michael Bourne says:

    Gidday marivic B, I have been in Australia for the past year, but the school in Burgos, Siargao has Ipstar, but the highest plan(10 computers sharing it). Its ok, just good enough for Skype, pretty slow for Youtube, and as long as the weather isn’t really bad. However, 2 friends in the same village with the 2,500 plan have said it has slowed considerably in the last year, and often drops out for long periods on that plan. Whether or not they have a fault, I dont know, but one has just bought a new modem, so probably not. However, Ipstar is still radically superior to Smartbro, or Globe in that area, and other satellite providers are much, much more expensive, both in setup and service fee. Hope this helps.
