PLDT myDSL Upgrades anew

This is probably the second time PLDT myDSL upgraded their bandwidth offerings this year. Just saw an ad at Manila Bulletin that their newly re-branded residential DSL packages are getting a bit of a boost.

Here are the new bandwidth speeds:

myDSL Xperience
Php 999/month
from 384Kbps to 512 Kbps

myDSL Xcite
Php 1,995/month
from 768 Kbps to 1.2Mbps

myDSL Xcel
Php 3,000/month
from 2Mbps to 3 Mbps

Must be real tough competition going on we don’t know about.

Heard that PLDT had a 7% drop in profits compared to last years. But just how much of their revenues are coming from them being a DSL provider?
