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.
i have my pldt quick install kit…well, installed. ano pa ba?! hahaha! and i’m using it..malamang naman noh? you guys should try it.

yes JP. that was so last year. I agree. But then they relaunched it or whatever.
@jp, yeah that was so last year pa but they relaunched it, probably with some technical problems they encountered. http://myworldmydsl.com/qik/home.aspx here’s their website. check it out if you want.

Agree ako kay MG, magagaling ang Pldt sa panloloko. HIndi sila service oriented, Money oriented sila. Kahit kulang sa serbisyo basta kumikita sila.

how can i downgrade my Connection MY DSL PROFESSIONAL to MY DSL 999/ month? and to disconnect the IDDSL. there in the Philippines bec. now im staying here in U.A.E. give me the full details…. thanks and regards….
Well pldt plan 999 ako with landline pero mabilis naman ang connection ko..nakakapag online games ako like ragna, gg client, guild wars na walang lag. sa testing ng net speed ko umaabot sa 900kbps ako..hehehe ang alam ko pag may kapit bahay kang naka plan 999 with landline nahahati yung speed so mas marami mas babagal..pero sa case ko alam kong ako lang ang naka plan 999 kasi puro mayayaman ang kapitbahay ko .^_^
FYI:
pwede ka mag router kung gusto mo 2 pc na may internet sa isang subscription.
hello!! my concern is about the PLDT postpaid landline plus…..
magkakaproblema kaya ako if di kona binayaran yung bill ko for the 1st month palang which is 6K kase sobrang pangit ang service nila. di ako makatawag ng local call and di rin clear ang incoming call. Ive tried to file for deactivation to their mobile center but they asked me to pay the remaining lock in period fee… So di na ako nagbayad and wala din naman cila sinend na bill sa akin so pano ko malalaman kung magkano babayaan ko… recently, nakareciv ako ng letter fr PLDT offis. magbayad daw ako or else idedemanda daw.. totoo po kaya un?? magkakaproblema po kaya ako?
pls give me a good avice. tnx
sir..ask ko if its possible to use router on plan 999 im buying new PC kc e im thinking kung pwede 1subscription for 2 computers..tnx
