Sky Cable has recently announced it is buying competing cable TV and internet provider Destiny Cable as well as Solid Broadband Company and UNI-Cable TV.
This makes Sky Cable and even bigger and more dominant player in the cable TV market. Sky Cable currently has around half a million subscribers in the Philippines. It’s unknown how many are internet subscribers.
All existing subscribers of Destiny Cable, SBC and Uni-Cable will continue using their existing subscriptions and channels as well as monthly fees. Sky Cable plans to roll out their service later on (probably once subs are up for their annual renewals). Destiny Cable is the 2nd largest direct-to-home cable TV provider.
The entire deal is estimated to cost Sky Cable a whooping Php3 billion.
Solid Broadband Corp. is part of the Solid Group that also owns MyDestiny and MyPhone.

This is the current thread in businesses throughout the country. Big corporations buying their competitor by offering huge amount of money. Unfortunately, there is no law that prohibits a company from acquiring its competitor and monopolizing the market. Sad for loyal Destiny subscribers like myself that the company is not as loyal to its subscribers…
skybroadband in the philippines sucks so much. They use some sort of squid proxy so you load from their proxy instead of the real internet making it super slow. Also it seems the dns is blocking things or failing 80% of the time.
Its horrible for the cost

How about G-Sat DTH Satellite TV diba pag-aari din yan ng Global Destiny Cable? Magkakaroon narin kaya sila ng ANC, Teleradyo sa CH LINEUP nila? Good thing kung magkaroon kasi pangit ang cable provider dito sa probinsya ko… Di ko rin gusto ang Cgnal becoz of annoying CIGNAL LOGO. DREAM SAT naman pangit ang video quality although OK naman ang CH Line-up. Pero gusto ko talaga magkaroon ng ANC, Cinema One, MYX at Teleradyo ang G-SAT.
