Dell Philippines to enter PC retail?

That came as a surprise. Read from the Inquirer that Dell Philippines is targeting the PC retail market in the country. Is the Philippine market for desktop PCs huge enough for Dell to join in the fierce competition that’s already fought by Acer, IBM, HP and Lenovo?

How’s your DSL in the Philippines?

Joey Alarilla asks “Do we actually have broadband in RP?”. Yeah, we do, it’s called Digital Substandard Lines. *heh*

Been hooked up on DSL for about 4 years now. Before that, I languished in crappy dial up connection. I started with Greendot at 256Kbps for Php2,750 for about a year before I moved to PLDT DSL paying Php1,995 at 384Kbps speeds. They then upgraded the accounts across the board and my Plan 1995 got 512Kbps, went up to 786Kbps and now at 1.2Mbps.

If you think about it, the 384Kbps cap is now 1.2Mbps after 4 years at the same monthly rate. I should be happy right? Well, in a way yeah. Them DSL providers would make you think/feel the same. The premium residential packages now are at 2.2Mbps and 5Mbps (Alabang area only).

However, those free upgrades to higher speeds aren’t any good at all when you’ve actually checked the actual speeds. Ever since I’m on the 1.2Mbps line, I’ve always checked my bandwidth on different days of the week and various times of the day. Here’s how it fared via Broadband Reports:

It’s like it’s just half of what I was told my supposed connection is. The only time I’d get that promised 1.2Mbps is when I ran the bandwidth test via PLDTPlay. So, the line from my place to the PLDT servers tops at 1.2Mbps but my actual DSL speed from PLDT to the outside world is just half of that. Great. So those upgrades we’re all getting all these years were a farse?

When do we get Singapore’s 100Mbps speeds to their homes? In the year 2020?

When will WoW be available in the Philippines?

I haven’t played any PC games for years, the last time I remember having a great time was playing Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne with my officemates at HeadStrong over two years ago. With the introduction of WoW, my excitement to gaming has gone back to its original level. But alas, no wow. :(

WoW has been out for so long and there have been a lot of news about a companies getting the license for it here in the Philippines but until now there’s been no sign of World of Warcraft anywhere. *geez* What’s wrong? Is the license too steep? Are the server/hardware requirements too pricey? Political turmoil? National security? What???

I know the subscription fee in the US is around $29.95 per month (~Php1,600) so it’s not that expensive if you compare it to Khan or Ragnarok Online.

What’s taking them so long?

Oh wait, are the guys running that MMOG farm in Cebu connecting directly into US servers?
