Smart challenges PLDT, PLDT buys Smart.
Sun challenges Smart, PLDT buys Sun.

So in effect, there are only three providers: PLDT/Smart/Sun, Globe, and Sky.

Consider yourself still lucky, that here being a foreigner like you are, you are still treated with respect and reverence. I am sure you are still enjoying it here otherwise you would have left a long time ago.

But yes, the Internet speed is still crappy here, but this is what we get.

Man your so right about the Philippines, been here for 12 years, and nothing has gotten any better, when are they ever going to wake up, they have the highest electric cost in the world, so most people can’t afford the expensive INTERNET, then have to pay for the expensive electric to run it, this is on top of all the Brown-Outs the country keeps imposing on everyone, Brown-outs are a thing of the past in every country but a few.

Then on top of all this, there is Corruption only the way Filipinos know how, rob the poor and give to the rich, and yea, noynoy seems to have done absolutely naff all to help his own peoplpe, he is surrounded by rich corruption, thats never going to change.

Wake up People, only you can do anything about it.

In my home country, this kind of internet speed is ridiculously slow plus the fact that the price is actually HIGHER with a slower speed. (Korea)

In case of the Philippines, they don’t “create” their own internet service, rather, they get it from singapore (?). Which is the reason why in when Earthquake struck on the internet line between singapore and philippines, the internet got crappy-er.

Honestly, living here for 10 years, the biggest problem in this country right now, in technical issues, is that the top tier ones wouldn’t just give a chance for others to become one of them. They fool people with their blasted mouth and ends up getting fucked up. But since they are the only ones providing, no ones else can’t do anything about it but just to use their service.

PLDT was shitty ever since the company was formed. (Shitty by means of their service).

Sky, good speed in rich locations. Crappy at average to poor locations.

Smart, Fuck them. The worse internet promoter and service that could ever exist in the planet, worse than Nigeria.

Globe, Logically, shouldn’t Ayala Alabang get the fastest in all locations since Ayala actually owns globe? This is pretty retarded on the fact that Globe’s internet only gets slower and slower every month.

I do not know about others since I have not tried them.

But as far as I can tell, all internet providers are bullshitting everyone. Globe is a definite no-no (considering 30+ disconnects per day).

Only if these retarded internet providers realized that lowering the price will actually increase they’re net income value through the populous amount. Why do you think Korea keeps dropping down the prices for Phone Calls, Internet Services, and others? Its because they realized a better marketing system. Which is why there came a competition, which is why Korea gained the fastest internet speed in the world record.

Another thing they have to realize is that they SHOULD NOT put internet cables above. In ALL 1st world countries, they put it in underground, so that there wouldn’t be any disconnections and internet latency due to the conflict the wire will get from the environment.

Look at Japan, they still had a fast enough internet even after that Earthquake and Tsunami. They even had a freaking WiFi everywhere in Japan, so there were no problems in case of contacting other people through internet.

Philippines (or should I say the higher ones) should awake from their illusion that they are in the same position as other technological countries, and throw away their bullshit corrupted minds and start realizing that they are far behind most of the countries in the world. Im so sick and tired of this bs in Philippines. They don’t even deserve to be called “Catholics” if they actually were. Heck, even Noynoy isn’t doing shit.

I bet because of this crappy internet services, many people failed their lives from “trying” to depend their life to the internet in the Philippines.

Well said!

Back again, why are you people here in the Philippines getting so excited with 12MBps, and at such a high cost, this is very very expensive in comparison to what is given in the western world.

In a country where there is so little cash, apart from the five families at the top! who are strangling the PH, why is it so expensive to get such normal speed as 12 MBps, this cost around 1,000ph in the UK, this is for the rich only in the PH, the mass market will never get a change with the corruption here.

Kinda amazing whenever I compare it to my uncle’s DSL connection in manila, then again… It’s a rather congested network.

sa experience ko. mas ok pa nga ang smartbroke este smartbro kahit mabagal >.<. 3yrs ako sa smartbro sa bahay ni mama at very minimal ang problem, unfortunately walang signal sa nilipatan ko
