And I’ll be that they’ll never ba able to fully use that, unless they have a gigabit router with at least 1900AC support.

@sean , what the? ofcourse the can use it, the modem that will be provided will be optimized to handle gigabit data , you might be referring to LAN for the router and the AC is for the wifi, stop being a smart ass, your comment makes you look stupid.

Their platinum plans are only for the “elite” villages in the Philippines. Even for internet we have discrimination.

Actually if it was me if you know and trust at least 4 of your neighbors. Just split up the difference between you and share Wifi lol. 250 Mb for 2,500 a month is quite a deal lol

food for thought

Andami namang bobo at inggitero sa comments. May buying power sila kaya nasa kanila na yun kung paano nila gagamitin ang 1gbps connection. Sa nagsabi na dumb family, di mo sila kilala personally kaya hindi mo alam kung gagamitin din nila for business purposes ang subscription. Di naman yan tulad ng iphone na pagkamahal mahal e isang tao lang ang gagamit. Pag pobre ka talaga e wala kang alternative kundi maging keyboard warrior at magalit sa mga may pera. Communist thinking at katol pa more.
