PLDT upgrades DSL Plan 3000 from 8Mbps to 20Mbps

After tinkering around with the setup of my Philips Hue at home to configure it to the local network, I discovered that my DSL Plan 3000 has been changed from maximum of 8Mbps to 20Mbps. This is what the router shows in the upstream and downstream settings.

Yugatech 728x90 Reno7 Series

Upload speed is still stuck at 1Mbps though. Tried downloading via P2P and getting 3.6MB/s total download speeds.

I also did some random speed tests and got these results:

I remember my initial speed tests were in the 7Mbps range during the first week that I got this installed in my condo unit so a 14Mbps results is more than welcome. This also puts the speed of DSL much closer to that of the entry-level Fibr plans.

We have yet to confirm with other subscribers if they have experienced these upgrades recently. We believe other lower tiered plans have also gotten a speed bump.

Perhaps the upgrade roll-out is still in progress. Do hit the comments if you get similar results.

    That’s what step down transformers address for.
    Secondly, a couple of years ago in December pldt bumped up my download speed to 1mb/sec. Perhaps a Christmas present for the crappy service I was getting throughout the year.. I downloaded as many TV shows as possible.. :-)

    My PLDT Connection is Super reliable in my area…promised speed is fulfilled almost 100 percent of the time, yun nga lang may Torrent throttling na nagaganap from 9:00 PM -11:PM araw araw, noa a big deal..pero kung meron kang gustog panoorin na TV show mag aantay ka ng medyo matagal kasi 1/6th lang ang ibinibigay sa yo…YouTube and other streaming sites, no problem as far as throttling goes
