Ok, new poll again. Just wondering how much do people spend for their internet connectivity on a monthly basis?
Options include:
* Almost free — if you get it from school or office or something similar
* Less than Php500 a month — mostly if you’re using prepaid dial-up
* Less than Php1,000 a month – for entry level broadband connections
* Between Php1,000 to Php2,000 a month — for mid level DSL connections, mobile broadband (Visibility, WeRoam)
* Between Php2,000 to Php3,000 a month – for mid level broadband or multiple connections
* Between Php3,000 to Php5,000 a month – for top tier broadband, multiple connections or mobile internet
* Above Php5,000 – either you gotta you got a leased line or you’re spending way too much on internet connectivity
If you’re sharing the internet cost with someone else in your place who also uses it, only indicate your own shared expenses. Likewise, if you have multiple connections (2 DSL plus WiFi plus 3G), just add them all up. If you use prepaid mobile internet like Smart 3G/GPRS, just make an educated guess how you you spent for it every month.
I spend around P2300 a month. I have sun, globe, and wi-tribe. Wi-tribe is the fastest but limited within metro-manila. Globe and Sun are at even par. Globe signals are sometimes cut. Sun is pretty reliable in Metro-Manila. If you’re always within MM, get wi-tribe. It’s really great!
Living in PI for the last 10 yrs., I have come to the conclusion that there is very little BB service to be had out side Manila. Of course you need to define BB, for me that would be 2mbps (NOT up to) down and 1Mbps up.
Such a crazy mismatch quilt of companies overlapping coverage, and in the next sub-division no coverage. If I can see what ipsatellite delivers and it’s not UP TO then I will spend the $2000.00 for equipment and service.
At the present time Smartbro is P999 and Comclark is p1350 (up to 768) more like 384 DN AND <100KB UP. For me that just sucks. If ever there was a company that induces hate, ComClark sits on top of the heap.
If you only email and surf, SmartBro is OK, barely.
Damm, be glad when the 2 yrs is up.
sus, gprs lang si ako, ninanakaw pa ni smart. Smart n smart talaga!!! katabi lang ng bundok mayon bahay ko.hehehehe

Yugatech,
What is your point of your survey and you bragging about which gadgets you have?
tsk tsk… cost of living is way too high in a British-crown country… but back in the Philippines I only pay around P1200 for a 512kbps + phone line – Digitel broadband
I spent 25€ a month for my monthly internet wireless connection using TIM’s HSDPA pc card here in Italy, free internet connection from Monday to Friday from 5PM to 9Am, also free on weekends(whole day on Saturdays and Sunday) and holidays.
US$349 / month for 1.5 Mbps – Cable & Wireless Americas, here in Turks & Caicos Islands.
eek, after seeing the comments, i think i’d better “downgrade” my subscription na. i’m spending almost 3k for pldt dsl (includes landline fee). pldt’s not offering this bundle anymore, i think.
