While most users only need basic or cheaper internet plans to fulfill their needs, other tasks require extra bandwidth for maximum efficiency. That being said, getting the most expensive internet plans may be out of their budget range. Fortunately, there are options in the PHP 2K – PHP 3K range that offer higher speeds that are cheaper by the Mbps.
As per our usual request, please do your due diligence when researching these ISPs. Making sure that they perform well in your area is better than having the fastest advertised speeds. Here are the internet plans that are under PHP 3K from the five most prominent ISPs:
| ISP | Plan | Speed | Monthly Data Limit | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Converge | FIBER X 2500 | 75 Mbps | - | PHP 2,500 |
| PLDT | UNLI FIBER PLAN 2899 | 100 Mbps | - | PHP 2,899 |
| Globe | Globe At Home Unli Plan 2499 | 50 Mbps | - | PHP 2,499 |
| Globe At Home Go Unli Plan 2899 | 100 Mbps | - | PHP 2,899 | |
| Globe At Home Go Big Plan 2499 | 100 Mbps | 1TB | PHP 2,499 | |
| SKY | SKY Fiber Unli Broadband plan 2,499 | 75 Mbps | - | PHP 2,499 |
| SKY Fiber Unli Broadband plan 2,899 | 100 Mbps | - | PHP 2,899 | |
| Eastern Communications | Eastern Home Plan 2498 | 80 Mbps | - | PHP 2,498 |
| Eastern Home Plan 2798 | 100 Mbps | - | PHP 2,798 |
Converge, PLDT, Globe, and SKY all offer fiber connections, which should be more consistent, and have relatively similar download and upload speeds compared to regular broadband connections. Meanwhile, we still haven’t confirmed the connection type of Eastern Communication’s Home Plans.
Moving up tiers means that users can expect faster speeds for less price, and at the PHP 2K to PHP 3K price range, telecoms have gotten a lot more competitive. Here are notable takeaways from each ISP’s offerings:
At the PHP 2.5K range, Globe is offering the lowest speed at 50 Mbps for unlimited plans, while Eastern Communications is offering the fastest plan, with 80 Mbps. Converge, and SKY offer comparable plans, with speeds of up to 75 Mbps. If, however, you’re okay with getting a monthly data cap, then Globe is also offering a 100 Mbps plan with a generous 1TB monthly data allocation.
Going higher, PLDT, Globe, and SKY are offering 100 Mbps data plans for PHP 2,900, while Eastern Communications’ 100 Mbps plan is cheaper at PHP 2,800.
If your profession also requires a lot of calls, consider subscribing to Globe or PLDT, as it also comes with free calls to Globe/TM and Smart/Sun/TNT subscribers, respectively. Additionally, Eastern Communications’ Plan 2798 includes a wired telephone line included in the package.
If you’re interested in subscribing or switching Internet Service Providers, check the serviceability of your area, as well as any installation fees, lock-in periods, and other concerns by going to the ISP’s respective websites below:
