Cheapest internet in South-East Asia?

With PLDT’s recent Super Saver Line promo, can the Philippines stand to claim the cheapest internet service in the whole of south-east asia? Bundled with a fixed landline, PLDT’s Vibe promo comes out as low as Php160 per month (roughly $3/month).

I’m not sure about broadband (Singapore & Hong Kong still rules the arena of big bandwidth pipes) though.

Remember that just about 5 years ago, a DDU (dedicated dial-up) account could cost you as much as Php3,500 a month. At that price now, you can hook up with PLDT or Globe and get as much as 2Mbps of broadband connection.

At Php160, the internet prepaid card industry will soon eventually be a thing of the past.

Smart to PLDT Landline Piso-per-minute

Just saw an advertisement on TV (that Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino tandem again) about the new Smart call pricing at Php10 per 10 minutes. That’s basically php1 per minute of call time. I think it used to be Php8 plus toll charges.

This went out as PLDT came out with a regular rate of Php10 per call for all NDD (National Direct Dialing) connections, the same time that Smart is rabidly pushing for their 3iG services.

On top of that, the recent PLDT promo of Php840 fixed MSF for a bundled PLDT line and unlimited PLDT Vibe connection is also making waves — virtually pulling down unlimited dial-up costs for a recod low of Php160 per month.

This will surely eat away whatever market share those independent service providers have left. PLDT seems to be on a binge this year.

PLDT’s Php10/call permanent

Well, that’s a rather nice surprise!

By January 7, 2006, PLDT will be making their Php10 per call a permanent feature for all its landline subscribers. All you need to do now is activate this fetaure by calling 10-10-10 and paying an extra Php50 for your monthly subscription fee.

The Php10 per call covers all PLDT landline to PLDT landline NDD calls and PLDT landline to Smart mobile phones. I believe calls from Smart mobile phone sto PLDT landline phones will still use the same old rates though.

Like the previous promo, it does not also cover PLDT landline NDD dial-ups for ISPs. This means if you’re in Vigan and you want to dial up an ISP in Metro Manila, you can just call NDD for the same flat fee. PLDT adds that they’re also talking wiht other telcos for the same interconnection rates.

Now that’s the first good news I’ve heard this year.

Globelines Broadband at 2Mbps

Got home this evening to find pamphlets at my doorstep from Globe. Apparently they are now offering broadband connections to residential areas with speeds of up to 2Mbps. Sweet.

Here are the DSL rates and prices:

*GenTxt Express Unlimited
Monthly Fee: Php995
DSL Speed: 384kbps

Express Unlimited
Monthly Fee: Php1,495 (promo price of Php995 just now)
DSL Speed: 384kbps

Explore Silver
Monthly Fee: Php1,995
DSL Speed: 768kbps

Explore Gold
Monthly Fee: Php2,995
DSL Speed: 2Mbps

* I think the GenTxt plan is for students. Not sure about it but looks very similar to the PLDT DSL student rate before (Plan 998 or something). And read this — a Globelines landline subscription is NOT a prerequisite to Globelines broadband.

The 2Mbps under Explore Gold plan did took most of my attention. Really, really nice to have something like that at home all by myself. And to think that only last year, I was paying GreenDot Php2,750 for a mere 256kbps connection.

Smart to PLDT Value Calls only Php4 per minute

I was on my mobile phone with another potential client for about 15 minutes then I checked my load balance to see how much credit I still have left. I was a bit surprised to see that my last call didn’t even reach Php100.

Just now, I got an SMS alert from Smart that they have this Value Calls Promo where your call from a Smart cellphone to a PLDT landline will only be Php9 for the first 9 minutes and then it’s Php4 per succeeding minutes.

Looks like a bargain to me.

And good nes to those who’re always calling thru their cellphones.

Note: PLDT is the mother company of Smart Telecoms. This promo is for prepaid SIM card users only.
