We’ve had a healthy discussion of the PisoNet business here before and how it is slowly encroaching into the very competitive internet cafe market. We even featured a housewife running a 3-station Piso Net business inside their home.
It looks like this small enterprise is getting some traction as PLDT has set its eyes on it.
Cyberya is a project by PLDT with the partnership of PC Express and Intel. The machine is provided by PCX, powered by an Intel chip and supplied by PLDT’s Cyberya Package 999 for up to 1Mbps internet connection.
The Cyberya machine itself costs Php15,499USD 264INR 22,390EUR 252CNY 1,923 a pop which is on top of your monthly subscription of Php999USD 17INR 1,443EUR 16CNY 124 from PLDT. You can apply for a Cyberya package at any PLDT business center or PCX branch. You will need proof of billing and proof of business in order to apply. Comes with 24-month extended service and after-sales service.
They did not exactly specify the hardware configuration of the machine though so better ask first if it’s a capable one.
The set-up promises a monthly gross revenue of Php7,200USD 123INR 10,401EUR 117CNY 894 @ Php1USD 0.02INR 1EUR 0.02CNY 0.12 per 4 minutes of charge time to customers (estimated net profit is around Php5,000USD 85INR 7,223EUR 81CNY 621/month). What’s not clear is what happens if you order two machines and you only need 1 PLDT connection.
Updated: According to one commenter below, you can have a maximum of 3 units per location, per connection.

On the quoted 7200pesos gross per month, that would be possible if ideally you run it 16 hours straight a day, 7 days a week on a 30 day month. You would need to pay for electricity consumption, too, on top of the unit acquirement cost and monthly plan fee. The unit would also be depreciated badly in a very few years so it will be worthless sooner than one realizes. A buyer should also take note that the number of customers would most likely to diminish in number since internet access will be more and more affordable/accessible in the coming months (I’d say month since tech grows almost exponentially). Also factor in the risk of being robbed in your house which is a big potential risk to your family. To cut it short, I would rather invest in other ventures; though, it’s only my opinion.

I saw 3 Cyberya machines in our neighborhood and it’s only connected on one PLDT modem router.

How many PCs can I avail of?
You can purchase a maximum of 3 PCs per location. At this rate, the wireless broadband can support the devices and provide an ideal user experience.
Justin says:
IN this generation of tablets and pocket wi-fi devices, is this business still viable? I mean, an average employed person could easily buy a 2nd hand CM Fusion Bolt tablet for around P3k, and a 2nd hand pocket wi-fi for another P2k, plus P1k internet load (already unlisurf 1 month). Even your typical call center agent can afford this. So what’s the target market of Cyberya?
echo says:
Wow sipag mag reply ni Abe ha!? Himala
zapper says:
so, what do you exactly mean when you say “typical call center agent?”
meh says:
then you will have 5k php worth of 1 peso coins to drag to the bank. What fun
The 5k they claim is profit from the machine its not counting the electric cost for these, and having someone to monitor them for damage/issues
