Looks like PLDT is aggressively selling its DSL service, now with a residential package of Php999 per month (PLDT Plan 999) at speeds of 384Kbps. This is the former bandwidth allocation for their Plan 1995 which is now at 512Kbps.
On top that, their Php788 per month for Smart WiFi is being heavily promoted in the provinces.
The Plan 999 was also an old promo for students only but has now been expanded to cover regular residential subscribers. With the introduction of DSL Plan 999, I think PLDT will soon be upgrading existing subscribers to higher bandwidths. Much more that Globe Telecoms is pushing to 2Mbps for Php2,995 (Explore Gold Plan).
The problem here though is that PLDT is so aggressive in selling broadband connections to potential new customers that it has already forgotten about the existing ones. Just read the comments over at the Smart WiFi entry.
I am sure they know that it’s cheaper to retain new customers than to get new ones. Oh, I forgot they have that 1-year lock-up clause.
i’m quite the optimistic actually. I always see the glass half full, notably with my internet connection, love life, social life, and everything in between. haha! That didn’t sound right i guess. lol
wag mo naman batiin. baka malasin ka. haha! just kidding. well i hope it’ll be fine as well on my end. Nothing wrong happening that can cause utter madness and screaming. haha!
hi ria. still good. oh you mean the connection? also good. wala pa naman problema na major so far. i like it that way. sana ganun na lang parati.
yeah. I guess so. but you can talk to MVP about your demands, anyway. hahaha! Just not going out of bounds or whatever.
oh you were there?!?!?!!?! NOOOO!O!!!!!! I wonder when he’ll come back. I’ll just surf about it or maybe buy tickets to Singapore.
haha! No! Manny V. Pangilinan, the CEO of PLDT, and a fellow Atenean. Sorry proud ako ha. And Kobe rocks! I was at Boni High St. earlier. Damn! Idol ko talaga.
who’s MVP? What are you talking about? Is it Kobe Bryant?
ty, how’s your qik product?
yeah, you are very demanding! hahaha! why don’t you speak personally with MVP about your demands. hahaha!
hopefully this year na sila mag expand. I’ll just watch the channels on regular cable if they won’t. YES, I’M BEING A DEMANDING CUSTOMER! LOL!
right now, ito pa lang afford ko sa qik product. I want to have that 3mbps kasi it goes with the free wifi.
i don’t know when exactly they’ll expand their watchpad channels but probably in a year or two..or maybe soon. idk. as if insider ako sa kanila. haha!
oh cool. they’ll expand. when would they do this?
after my most of my friends got this kit, i thought maybe it was worth the try. now i have it. purchased a few days ago after doing some minor research over the net.
after all that talk, i finally got that qik. hahaha! tinamad lang pumunta sa mga retail outlets lately.
i believe naman pldt will expand their watchpad. ang konti naman kasi ng mga channels for that eh.
same here. i’m okay with like pldt qik and all but watchpad has limited channels. sigh i hope they expand.
interesting topic we have. to seniorita, yes i have tried the watchpad…but no, i’m sticking to regular tv programming unless they have put many more channel options. but qik is an ideal product, but not an ideal service of pldt. that’s my reklamo. other than that, i’m okay with with them.
hey guys, i had my computer connected with qik. so nice! and the watchpad thing is like so great, but so few channels. nonetheless, it’s still great! anyone here tried the watchpad already, besides like me?
weirdo, meron na ako niyan. so far so good ika nga ng iba. how do you find it?
