It’s all about Capacity, not Speed

For the past 5 years now, we’ve seen a huge growth in internet penetration in the country. At the same time, we’ve also seen the barriers to entry go down in favor of consumers, partly because of competition.

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?

PLDT rebrands Residential DSL Packages

Along with the upgrades that I just discovered, PLDT also rebranded their residential broadband packages:

PLDT myDSL

So, they did deliver on the promise they made earlier this year, though it took them 4 months to do so.

The new packages are as follows:

PLDT myDSL Xperience : 384 Kbps at Php 999/month

PLDT myDSL Xcite : 768 Kbps at Php 1,995/month

PLDT myDSL Xcel : 2 Mbps at Php 3,000/month

PLDT myDSL F2H : 5 Mbps at Php 5,000/month

The PLDT myDSL F2H may soon be available in areas of Ayala Alabang, Forbes Park, Essensa and Dasmarinas Village due to some fiber optic cables already in place.

This could be the start of a more affordable high-speed broadband in the Philippines (across all ISPs).

PLDT myDSL Upgrades Bandwidth Speed

I’ve been wondering why almost 2 weeks now, my DSL connection has been acting up on me. It connects just fine but in a few minutes, there’s no internet then it comes back again then gone another minute. When I called up the customer rep the other day to downgrade my account, I explained to them that one of the reasons why I wanted to downgrade wast the broken promise they made last January.

Just now, while experience the same irritating problem with the dsl going on and off, I tried to check on my bandwidth speed at PLDTPlay and got this:

PLDT myDSL Upgrades

I couldn’t believe at first by I also tried other broadband speed test sites:

TestMy. net : 787 Kbps or 0.79 Mbps (96 kB/s)
2Wire : 700.10 Kbps
SpeakEasy : 556 kbps or 69.5 KB/sec.

Looks like a legit upgrade. Ok, lemme try with Limewire. :D

Free PLDT DSL upgrades this January

My PLDT myDSL line went kaput just around lunch today and was only able to re-connect just now. One thing I learned about PLDT’s customer support is that they don’t have one or you can’t get to talk to one. What I’d do is call sales and inquire about upgrading my DSL bandwidth or ask for any new promos. Then, I’ll segue into asking if they could connect me to their support personnel at the NOC. Works almost all the time.

Anyway, going back to the DSL upgrades, the customer rep did confirm that PLDT will be doing another round of bandwidth upgrades this January.

Those under Plan 1995 will get 768Kbps from the current 512Kbps. I forgot to ask about the alleged 2Mbps though.

PLDT myDSL to go 2Mbps?

Just read this yesterday in the newspapers (was it manila Bulletin?) and there’s an ad for PLDT DSL along with their promo for the Guild Wars.

A copy of the full page ad can be found here and if you look closely (or maybe zoom in the image on the lower right corner), the connection speed for Plan 1995 is already at 768Kbps and for only Php3,000 per month, you can get as fast as 2Mbps. *sweet*

At first I thought maybe PLDT has again upgraded the connections of existing broadband subscribers to adjust for this new scheme but I checked my connection at home and it’s still at 512Kbps.

I guess this rate is tied up with the Guild Wars promo. But 2Mbps connection is still way cool. Upgrade me, please!

PLDT DSL increases bandwidth allocation.

PLDT DSL, PLDT DSL, PLDT myDSL, PLDT DSL, PLDT myDSL

Looks like the stories are true. I just checked my PLDT DSL speed at home last night and I was averaging around 480Kbps. That means my previous 386Kbps connection now tops at 512Kbps. Here’s the supposed upgrade that was recently made by PLDT.

512Kbps / 256Kbps for plan 1995
768Kbps / 384Kbps for plan 2500
1mbps / 384Kbps for plan 3000

You can call them up at 171 to confirm this. Sweet deal, huh? :)
