In a TV commercial aired last Saturday, PLDT introduced a new DSL plan which offers up to 10Mbps for just Php4,000. That makes it the top broadband offering under the myDSL service line-up (PLDT MyDSL Plan 4000).
Prior to this, they have a Plan Xcel 3000 at 5Mbps. The Plan Xtreme 4000 doubles that speed up to 10Mbps. The plan is not yet up on their website but a release sent to us this evening shows the new one.
Take note though that this is for residential line and it’s not really a guaranteed speed. My 2Mbps Plan 1995 only gives me somewhere around 1Mbps so I’m thinking a Plan 10Mbps should deliver 5Mbps on a regular peak hours.
Anybody willing to shell out Php4,000 a month for 10Mbps?
ayan na start ng scheme ng pldt smart sucell ni mvp para masolo ang market.kaya globe pa rin ako para may competition!
I have PLDT plan 999 NGN in pampanga. Fortunately, I can get 1-1.3 mbps. Swerte lang sa location
lol, are you sure?? paln 999 is just 300+ regardless if you live right beside pldt you wont get 1mbps.
@abe wow 1 mbps lang ave ng connection niyo po? maybe its time to change ISP.
The problem with our internet connection here in manila is that is not consistent on all areas. There are some areas that a certain ISP works great and there some areas that they don’t.
I’m fortunate to be located where bayantel works great except for daily disconnections, I do get what I paid for.
I won’t shed out 4K for a PLDT dsl! The worse part about this ISP is their after sales service! It takes them 2 weeks or so to just respond to your problem and fix their lines.
Skybroadband is fast, but only for casual internet users. It does not support online gaming. In addition, torrent download is radically slowed down.
globelines broadband is better. Pag sinabi mong 3mbps, talagang 3mbps ang connection mo even during peak hours. .
I have the 3mb Excel in an old building in Pasay. In reality it gives me around 1MBps but it’s better than getting 500kbps on the lower plans.
I’m not interested…. Im already switching to Sky. We are going to try subscribing to Sky’s Bundle offers – Sky Voice, Sky Broadband and Sky Cable.
10Mbps over copper wire? It’s doable if PLDT has high quality copper wiring. Higher speeds need higher quality wiring. Otherwise if you bump-up the speed, frequent disconnections follow. That is why existing PLDT customers who are subscribed to say 3mbps, overtime, copper wiring will degrade and you keep having frequent disconnections. Here comes a PLDT guy trying to fix your connection and the fix? Let you your modem manually negotiate at lower speed. So i doubt PLDT will be able to deliver that speed.
Yun ang mahirap e. You cannot opt to have the DSL alone. Kelangan may landline pa rin and that landline’s bill is on top of your DSL subscription bill.
I’ll just wait for Globe to upgrade their plans as well.
Mas mura ang DSL ng Globe at hindi na kailangan ng landline
Sa PLDT kahit hindi mo kailangan ng landline wala kang magagawa, kaya additional 700+ sa bill
Currently 6mbps ang connection namin sa Globe…hintay ko nalang cguro na mag upgrade ang globe
Hindi po ito available sa lahat ng area. Dito sa Cebu wala pa :(
I was a PLDT DSL subscriber before but we changed to globe DSL for the good.
For one thing that 4k plan will have to need a POSTPAID LANDLINE, so that is another 790 pesos on top of it.
WIth globe its just 2k a months for 3mbps but its still fast for surfing even my brothers are in torrent, online gaming and my mom on skype.
80% reliability? I doubt it.
Pfffft. Pldt should stop rolling out new plans and concentrate on making their lines more stable and reliable. A lot of people complain about frequent disconnections and erratic speeds. They should focus on that first.
Look at PLDT’s fanpage on facebook, it’s filled with complaints. Why? Because of bad service. PLDT has no forum on their dsl site, so some dude made an unofficial PLDT page and people started going there to complain. How about PLDT’s official fanpage? You can’t post on the wall. You can only guess why.
What’s the use of your uber 10mbps if you can’t use it when it’s raining. You call PLDT and they tell you they don’t know what’s wrong and they’ll be sending a tech out. Tech comes when it’s not raining so they say there’s no problem. It rains again and you have no internet again and the cycle continues.
Seriously PLDT. What’s up with you?
At least it’s “unlimited”. Anyway, bakit madaming asterisks? LOL Dami namang conditions, if ever.
May tatlong *** sa Xtreme. Baka 10Mbps lang in 30mins per day. The rest 1Mbps na.
wait another year and it will be doubled
PLDT upgrade me already!
Ayaw ko… up to 10Mbps.. okay na ako sa 7Mbps ko sa Globe
@Lorenz
ayan na nga oh. may proof na!
maybe its just another marketing strategy to get more signups. Why don’t you go for skybroadband 12mpbs?
Double the speed for just an additional P1,000?! Sounds too good to be true…
