The National Telecommunications Commission will be holding a Public Hearing & Consultation regarding the Memorandum Order on Minimum Speed of Broadband Connection. Details after the jump.
We already discussed it in detail here, but this is your chance to be heard in a public consultation.
What: Proposed Memorandum Order on “Minimum Speed of Broadband Connection”
When: January 11, 2011 – Tuesday, 2:00pm
Where: NTC Executive Conference Rm., 3rd Floor, NTC Building, BIR Road, East Triangle, Diliman, Quezon City
If you are for or against this proposed memorandum, I’d encourage you to attend and air your side for consideration by the NTC. Remember that this is just a proposal and can be amended based on public consultation.
This issue stemmed from the recent stories on Globe’s 800MB daily cap, Smart Mobile Internet’s 1.5GB monthly cap and BayanDSL monthly cap of 100GB to residential customers.
The bandwidth caps only affect residential accounts. Business accounts are not capped.
I hope that service scam should ceased to exist. Guilty
Yes if its fair. Like 1mbps at 15 pesos per month.
After all japan cost 13 pesos equivalent for every 1mbps a month. while US 1mbps internet cost 166 pesos.
Speed must also be consistently fast.
lok at this pic which compares price per 1mbps around the world for major countries

unfortunately the big version of the pic is down. my dsl gives me 1 mbps (in fairness 1.3mbps) for 1000 pesos or around $23 a month. That puts me off the scale since the scale only goes up to $20 a month per mbps. #1 is japan with $0.27 per 1 mbps
re: the NTC public hearing
this is a very very iportant issue which affects filipinos all over the country. This should be televised and phone in, text in and IM in questions should be entertained. If not, then the NTC is treating it as if it were a mere local ordinance. People from other parts of the country would be “disenfranchised” so to speak because they would not be able to air their views
@maling akala, bakit di ka na lang matulog kaysa mag mura? Umm..
Uhm, mga futang ina ninyo. bakit d na lang kayo pumunta imbes na magreklamo? Umm
Ohh.. NO!
@moi
Correct me if I am wrong but I guess SUN is the first to have a fair usage policy.
I’ve heard that telcos are planning to use this bandwidth cap to make more money on consumers by making plans on increasing bandwidth like on wi-tribe.
@yuga
Please paki confirm lang po kung ung sun cell eh nag iimplement ng capping. It’s a big issue if SUN does not implement capping and other networks cap their services.
@abraham-uplb
as of the moment, we are no longer considered as a third world country according to former national treasurer up prof. briones and the world bank.sorry, correction itch.
naka-wifi nga ang bahay ko, marami nga nag-internet nang sabay-sabay, nanood nga ako nang anime sa anime video streaming sites habang iba’y nag-facebook, lalagyan nang limit, diba masyadong unfair ang capping, maganda yung 100GB bandwidth cap a month pero dagdagan pa sana para patas, hindi naman kami’y masyadong massive sa kaka-download, upload nang photo’s sa facebook malamang.
yung 384kbps DSL, hindi ka makaka-youtube sa ganyang speed, talagang magagalit ka.
pero huwag lang abusuhin ang technology, learn how to control your craving.
nakaka-degrade daw ang fiber optic sa kaka-uncapped, malamang ayon sa urban legend, isipin na lang yung tubig sa gripo, kung pabaya kayo sa kakabukas at kakatagas, ganoon din sa internet na laging bukas.
gusto ko sana pumunta kaso nasa overseas ako. please guys pumunta kayo, to fight for our rights.
I want to go too but I’m in Baguio!!! ano ba yan.. walang ganyan na consultation but buong Pilipinas ang apektado. I’m a homebased medical transcriptionist by profession– putting a cap on my internet connection would hinder me from doing my work. Sa size pa lang ng audio files na kailangan ko, maliit ang allowed bandwidth na yan.

> The bandwidth caps only affect residential accounts.
> Business accounts are not capped.
I wouldn’t be so careless to make that assumption, sir yuga.
As it stands the draft memo makes no such distinction.
5. Service providers may set the maximum volume of data allowed per subscriber/user per day.
Nowhere in the document does it differentiate between residential and business accounts. Just because Bayantel set their corporate accounts as uncapped does not mean that’s how the rest of the telcos agreed to bandwidth capping with the NTC.
Sana may mga pumunta sa public hearing. Hindi lang puro dakdak sa cyberspace na hindi naman binabasa ng mga taga-NTC.
I’ll go for no cap but pay as you use service!! :)
