Sky Broadband offers 200Mbps at Php34,999

ang mahal naman. kaya sa mga mayayaman na area lang available. bias ang mga ISP d2 sa pinas. sobrang mahal na nga puro ‘up to’ lng ang connection na binibigay.

may mobile broadband ako na sun at DSL sa bahay na pldt pero lage ko naman naabot yun speed na binabayaran ko… kaya minsan nag tataka ako bat yung iba sinasabi nila hindi nila abot yung sa kanila…

pero sir abe meron ba to bandwidth limit or unli to?

Damn! That’s pricey.. I wonder who will subscribe to this.

They could’ve increased the speeds of their current subscriber base instead of looking for a niche group. Also with sky broadband, with the way their network is made, you have a hard time downloading from direct download sites like hotfile etc..

Also, a more accurate speedtest would be to use a server outside the country of origin :)

2mbps okay na sakin,,,

Wew, pricey much!

is this unlimited?

naka sky broadband ako dati and since naka proxy lang sila laging shared yung connections and you wont be able to download sa mga file sharing sites (mediafire etc.)

Kaya ang target market nila nasa executive villages eh. Dayum! OVERR PRICEDDDDD!

USA is about 20Mbps for $60 or 3000php hummm

How can sky justify these prices? Is the equipment made of gold and enchanted by magic fairies?

The more of this offers, the better! Competition kung baga kasi ang pinaka-aggressive ko pa lang na naririnig na pwede lumaban dito is PLDT Fibr. Wala naman na akong balita sa Globe.

And yes, merong mga makakaafford nito sa mga mentioned subdivisions lalung-lalo na yung mga anak ng mga executives or CEOs earning half a million a month of paycheck tapos mga spoiled brat mga anak nila: “Daddy, I want the best of the best Internet connection”.

I think the reason behind this is hindi subsidised the government ang network infrastructure. Kailangan maglatag ng smart at ng globe ng sarili nilang infra. Sa ibang bansa, isang infra lang gamit lahat ng provider dun dadaan, kaya mas mababa ang cost. 34K medyo sobra yun kasi sa ibang bansa may 20 or 30Mbps ka na na fiber pero max of about Php 10k Lang ang babayaran

bat may ping pa sa PLDT 0ms na yan 50mbps download 30mbps upload….

I just hate it when an ISP is making excuses and taking advantage of the “up to….” scheme.

ano naman kaya ang data capping nyan? 15GB o 35GB? what a waste of additional bandwidth…

any techy guy from Sky or Bayantel na pwedeng sumagot sa tanung ko? is this the Asia America Gateway submarine fiber na nagland sa La Union? do Bayantel extract bandwidth from this gateway facility? if so then i would agree it would reach this top speed for now..for now, since hindi pa congested ang traffic? i believe philippines will not consume even 10% of the designed capacity of this Gateway facility.. guys try to chek on this link AAG investor ang bayantel sa submarine fiber na ito.. i would love to subscribe on this if its AAG.. http://meetings.apnic.net/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/18879/International-Fibre-Developments-Panel-Session_AAG.pdf

i hope and pray Google Fiber will have a country test and that will be philippines imagine their plans

120$- Free HDTV Channels, Nexus 7 tablet, 2TB Storage, guaranteed 1GBPS upload and download free equipment (HDTV Box, Network/router box, Storage Box 2TB)

70$- the same 1GBPS speed and 2TB storage except no HDTV and Nexus 7 Tablet

FREE- you only need to pay 1 time installation but you get free internet for 7 years with a 5mbps download 1mbps

ALL DOESN’T HAVE A DATA CAP so imagine niyo guys pag yung google naisip nila gawin tayong experimental country naku malulugi lahat ng telco providers dito for sure tiba tiba tayo sa presyo considering kahit i 10k nila yung may HDTV connection atleast sigurado yung speed natin

I wanted to thank you for this excellent read!! I absolutely loved every
bit of it. I have got you bookmarked to look at new stuff you post…

200MBPS. Thta’s ridiculous. that 200mbps is only avilable for webhosts in the philippines. if the website is outside the philippines, that’s probably only 1mbps.

why don’t you test it using servers outside the philippines if it’s really 200mbps.

MG, thay are charging 1000Php for 1 mbps (philippines pmly, server speedtest outside PH is probably .0001 kbps), in other less advanced countries in asia, 6mbps is less than 1000PHp a month

I have had internet providers all over the world, and by far SKY is the very worst. No other company comes anywhere close of having that distinction. THEY DISGUST ME!

I’m a regular person looking for an awesome internet connection, due to my… I might say hobby of downloading tons and tons of stuffs on the internet… And I might say, this is a pretty rip off Plan… True, because, we can really possibly reach that 200mbps or maybe even more in a much cheaper price… The answer for us to have that is, “DO NOT CONTROL THE INTERNET PROVIDING, LIKE WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO THE RICE CROPS.” And for the record, YES! We are TOP ONE! for having the SLOWEST internet connection in the ENTIRE WORLD.
