PLDT now offers 10Mbps DSL plan for Php4,000

maybe its just another marketing strategy to get more signups. Why don’t you go for skybroadband 12mpbs?

Ayaw ko… up to 10Mbps.. okay na ako sa 7Mbps ko sa Globe

May tatlong *** sa Xtreme. Baka 10Mbps lang in 30mins per day. The rest 1Mbps na.

Pfffft. Pldt should stop rolling out new plans and concentrate on making their lines more stable and reliable. A lot of people complain about frequent disconnections and erratic speeds. They should focus on that first.
Look at PLDT’s fanpage on facebook, it’s filled with complaints. Why? Because of bad service. PLDT has no forum on their dsl site, so some dude made an unofficial PLDT page and people started going there to complain. How about PLDT’s official fanpage? You can’t post on the wall. You can only guess why.

What’s the use of your uber 10mbps if you can’t use it when it’s raining. You call PLDT and they tell you they don’t know what’s wrong and they’ll be sending a tech out. Tech comes when it’s not raining so they say there’s no problem. It rains again and you have no internet again and the cycle continues.

Seriously PLDT. What’s up with you?

I was a PLDT DSL subscriber before but we changed to globe DSL for the good.

For one thing that 4k plan will have to need a POSTPAID LANDLINE, so that is another 790 pesos on top of it.

WIth globe its just 2k a months for 3mbps but its still fast for surfing even my brothers are in torrent, online gaming and my mom on skype.

Yun ang mahirap e. You cannot opt to have the DSL alone. Kelangan may landline pa rin and that landline’s bill is on top of your DSL subscription bill.

I’ll just wait for Globe to upgrade their plans as well.

I’m not interested…. Im already switching to Sky. We are going to try subscribing to Sky’s Bundle offers – Sky Voice, Sky Broadband and Sky Cable.

globelines broadband is better. Pag sinabi mong 3mbps, talagang 3mbps ang connection mo even during peak hours. .

@abe wow 1 mbps lang ave ng connection niyo po? maybe its time to change ISP.

The problem with our internet connection here in manila is that is not consistent on all areas. There are some areas that a certain ISP works great and there some areas that they don’t.

I’m fortunate to be located where bayantel works great except for daily disconnections, I do get what I paid for.

I won’t shed out 4K for a PLDT dsl! The worse part about this ISP is their after sales service! It takes them 2 weeks or so to just respond to your problem and fix their lines.

ayan na start ng scheme ng pldt smart sucell ni mvp para masolo ang market.kaya globe pa rin ako para may competition!

yup, swertihan lang din sa location yan, plan 999 kami, but we can get up to 1.8mbps

Dito din sa cavite hindi pa lahat ng area abot ng pldt. Like itong area namen sa dasmariñas, cavite. Yung area na lang ata namen ang hindi abot. kainis lang. I’m happy with globe though. Haha

Is that really fast?

Well, let’s give them chance to show their offer. It’s not wise to judge without letting them perform it.

when will this service be available?

honestly our internet service here is overpriced and slow…i dont know why our local telcos cant offer those packages from our neighbors…i lived in thailand for some months and we had a 12mbps connection for only 750 baht (roughly 900pesos)…and considering that pldt is held almost major by ntt then why cant they offer the same pricing scheme in japan (my sister has a 15mbps connection for 1500 yen monthly)…considering that we have one of the best broadband and telco facilities in the world…pera pera talaga maryosep

We’ve been Plan 1995 on PLDT for nearly a decade now. They’ve delivered near (around 70-90%) their speed for most of the time and it’s been years since we’ve called anyone from PLDT for assistance. Then again, it could have something to do with the nearby PLDT office which is relatively large.

I have a 3Mbit Globe DSL that gives me 8-8.5Mbit downstream everyday since it was installed over 6 months ago – and my downstream caps out around 700Kbit.

Pretty good for a 3000/500 at 1995 peso.

Any feedback about skybroadband? Meron kasing 15 days free trial. Maganda kaya?

dapat i upgrade na din nila ang plan 1mbps. hehehe

Sana sa mga subscription na ganyan may mga free 30-day trial period, bago ka pumirma ng contract. Para naman ma-experience muna ng mga subscribers kung gaaano talaga kabilis ang up to 10Mbps na yan.

Yes!!!!!!! Maka upgrade na nga ulit! Sulit yan pag malapit ka sa pldt main server sa area niyo.. Samin consistent 5mbps buong araw.. Bihirang bumabagsak under 4mbps.. So kung maka upgrade kmi nang 10mbps, cguradong consistent dn yan! :)

magaapply ako ng ganyang speed kapag ganito na ang price nyan sa atin..

LOL

sos weak pa rin yang 10mbps na yan ang mahal pa! dito sa iceland 50mbps tapos ang monthly usage allowance 140 GB tapos free 10GB pa kung na ubos mo na.. ang price? around 3000 piso!

atleast, kami masayang kasama ang pamilya namin dito sa pinas..

ikaw? masaya kb sa ibang bansa? ipinagpalit mo nb ang bilis ng net sa pamilya mo d2?

I Did… So far it’s been stable and I am maxing out my connection. :) http://raymundtiu.com/?p=493

i got the plan 1995 (3mbps) before they said that it’s only 2mbps… you have to insist what’s on their ad so you get the exact speed. now i’m getting well off 3mbps….

Just an FYI, when you say mbps, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s equal to MB/s. mbps means megabits per second and MB/s means megabytes per second. 8 bits = 1 byte. If you do the math 10mbps = 1.25 MB/s.

I hope this makes everything clear. I hope PLDT would rate their products using real world metrics such as the Byte and not the bit. A lot of ISPs did upsell the bit more than the byte since they can convince to sell their services better to unknowing customers who don’t know the difference between the bit and the byte. I hope there would be a law that would abolish this misinformation.

Well.. let me put it in easy words. PLDT simply sucks. I have the XCEL 3000 Plan with “up to” 5 mbps.
In the contract it is stated that this plan will provide anything between 60% (3 mbps) and 5 mbps.

FACT is that my Smart stick is faster. I usually get anything around 0,35 – 2,25 mbps. If I make a speedtest every minute, I get 10 totally different results within 10 minutes.
This is misrepresentation of contract. If you pay for a San Mig litro, they give you a small Pilsen instead but they charge the litro that is betrayal and a stafa case friends. Maybe PLDT customers should unite and file such a case. We all pay for a service that they don´t provide.
I have been abroad and in Germany for example you get 25 mbps flatrate for less than 1.200 php and it works 24/7 under all weather conditions.
Shame on PLDT for such a service but way overpriced.

Sana nga mabilis na. Palaging taas baba ang speed e depende sa oras. kainis.

para sakin ang PLDT manloloko ng consumers alam nyo kasi base on my experience 2 pldt dsl connection ko isang 1.5 at 3mbps pero pareho lagi na didisconnect tumawag na ako ng service pinalitan ng modem tapos ok habang andun sila pero pag alis ng technical nila wala na balik sa problema. palagay nyo ano experience nyo!

I have PLDT and Globe DSL (both at up to 3 mbps). Parehong maayos sa area ko (Batangas City). And nag-a-average ako ng 2.5 mbps kahit peak hours.

Kung hindi ko lang kailangan talaga ng back-up/redundancy, mate-tempt akong kumuha nyang 10 mbps connection.

I wish google comes to philippines and offers it fibre up to 1Gbps for only $70. I’ll surely get it whatever happens -_-

e ano na? fix to? hahaha

magalit kayo pag may problema sa connection nyo, wag nyong tigilan hanggat di naayos.. ganyan ako before! pero ngayon dalawang shop ko 10mbps na ang gamit, yung isa pumapalo ng 9.45/ yung isa naman 11.85, sikreto MAGALIT kayo ng MAGALIT hanggat di nyo nkukuha yung serbisyong binayaran nyo!

Good thing you guys have PLDT and their seemingly attractive DSL Plans. If PLDT comes on our area, I will immediately take the Fibr Plans.

Here in Binan, we’re stuck at a local telco (as you all know, there is no PLDT or Globe Wired on the area due to Monopoly) that offers P2750 for 2MBps… (yay high price T_T)

The only consolation I got despite the high price is that the connection is literally 256KB/sec or 2Mbps all the time. But I’ve been using it for a Month now… I’m still quite scared though.

i was a subscriber way back when it was 384Kbps. i remember those pricing, and i guess i’ll stick with their lower tiered plans and not go with the higher end/tiered plans.
