PLDT Plan 999

Looks like PLDT is aggressively selling its DSL service, now with a residential package of Php999 per month (PLDT Plan 999) at speeds of 384Kbps. This is the former bandwidth allocation for their Plan 1995 which is now at 512Kbps.

On top that, their Php788 per month for Smart WiFi is being heavily promoted in the provinces.

The Plan 999 was also an old promo for students only but has now been expanded to cover regular residential subscribers. With the introduction of DSL Plan 999, I think PLDT will soon be upgrading existing subscribers to higher bandwidths. Much more that Globe Telecoms is pushing to 2Mbps for Php2,995 (Explore Gold Plan).

The problem here though is that PLDT is so aggressive in selling broadband connections to potential new customers that it has already forgotten about the existing ones. Just read the comments over at the Smart WiFi entry.

I am sure they know that it’s cheaper to retain new customers than to get new ones. Oh, I forgot they have that 1-year lock-up clause.

    hello wish ko sana mag pakabit ng plan 999 kaso sabi nila mabagal.

    (baka nman may virus ung mga computers nyo kasi spyware/adware are the no. 1 cause of slow internet connection maski nka DSL o broadband kapa kasi those programs steals the bandwith of your connection and sends it to those who created the spyware/adware making your computer’s internet connection slow or worst crawling for speed!)

    or is it better to have plan 1995?

    pag may nkapag test na po ng plan 999 in a virus free pc post nyo naman po ung speed nya!
    (test mo yuga!)

    thanx

    i’ll be visiting your blog site for your and other’s replies!

    @ boblot30

    Hay sinabi mo pa… Hindi lang ang Speed or connection ang bulok.. Pati mga Representative dito sa amin sa Zamboanga City bulok rin! Hindi nila ini-entertain ang mga residential service yun na nga particularly itong “Plan 999” Imagine almost or more 1 year na… wala pa daw Port available para dito… Hay! i’m so disappointed nag apply kami ng kaibigan ko nung last year pa, sabi hintay lang baka 2006 meron hangang ngayon wala pa… Sus!!! Umasa lang ako sa Wala.. Pero kung sa mga bagong nag-oopen na Internet Cafe ini-offer talaga nila ng services… kasi mas malaki ang Bayad! Hay… PLDT DSL Mga Mukhang Pera!!! Ang Galing ng Advertisement nyo Tapos Bulok naman ang Service nyo “NOW NA”

    hi po. may tatanong lang ako. diba ang DSL plan 999. ang 384Kbps ang bilis daw ito. pero kung magdadownload ako. bakit 30kbps or 35kbps lang. bakit? at bakit pinagawa ako ng pldt user name. pero parang hindi natupad. bakit parang iba ang user at password ko. ang problema ko lang. bakit hindi nasusunod ang speed.

    Tip ko lang para maging SPY-WARE free ang inyong computer,Huwag gumamit ng LINTEK na INTERNET EXPLORER!!!instead,go for MOZILLA FIREFOX,tried it and it worked,dahil ang SPYWARE ay pumapasok sa ACTIVE X ng walang kwentang Internet Explorer na yan,dahil 90 percent ng computer sa mundo gumagamit ng IE,FIREFOX kasi mas resistant,dahil karamihan ng mga SPYWARE hindi naka program para sa browser na ito,at may built-in pop-up blocker pa which is VERY VERY EFFECTIVE…1 month na akong nagda-download ng PORNO at hindi man lng natinag ng SPYWARE,
    as long as may pang counter ka na mga freeware 2lad ng SPYWAREBLASTER at AD-AWARE SE (LIBRE ‘to mga pards)…Hope nabigyan kayo ng helpful tips

    hi,
    currently im employed as a tech support, I do understand how you feel, coz i am a smart wifi subscriber too. I think we should always optimize our browser, update antivirus and run a virus checked on ur pc.
    Also tried to install an anti spyware, special for those who loves to browse www.bible.com (hehehehe)

    enjoy surfing…

    and one thing usually pldt use a modem router so u dont need to buy a router the best way to find out wether ur modem is a just a modem or a modem router is simply get the model seach the net and see if its a modem or a modem router. hehehe isa sa trick nyan eh hanapin mo kung may rest button ung modem mo, pag may reset switch yan malang modem router yan pero di ko rin nilalahat kasi pag na reset mo ung modem mo at naka connect ung computer mo sa modem mo… type this at dos promt “ipconfig” pag may lumabas na ip usually 192.x.x.x or something except 169.x.x.x malamang sure kana na modem router yan kasi by default ang modem router is in router mode pag factory default. the only thing u need to do is get the ip add of ur modem and get the default pass word so u can enter the ur isp pass word and ID para automatic connect na ung modem mo at kung may plano ka mag dagdag ng computer bili kanalang ng switch or hub hehehe i hope I was able to answer some of the question……but pls correct me if iam wrong
