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.

ABSOLUTELY ABSURD!!!!!
I’m talking to my friend from the Netherlands.
and he said that the internet there is only euro 90 for 150 mbps that’s equivalent to:

90 Euro equals
5379.56 Philippine Peso

Fred · 13 years ago

there grazy here my birth country Holland. 100 mb 40 euro glasviber that’s 2000 peso

Luis · 13 years ago

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!

Joean · 13 years ago

Too much for too little.

adrian · 13 years ago

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

kamote · 13 years ago

cable dsl speed is total speed over N of subscribers so 200mbps / 200 subscribers paying 35k a month = 1mbps trololo

amorsolo square · 13 years ago

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…

Enzo · 13 years ago

Oh, come-on BAYANTEL, your speedtest is pointing to SKYBroadband server…You so bias. Why don’t you test it out with servers in the US where majority of world’s websites are hosted.

Felix · 13 years ago

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 must say, Sky made it happen! I’ve been a happy Sky Broadband subscriber for 3 years now, and never experienced any intermittent connection, the trick there is not to subscribe with their Landline and you should be fine. Since they worked with Cisqo, it has been great and harmonious all throughout the way.. If I have some extra bucks, I’ll surely upgrade to that 200mbps! 1 Season of your favorite drama in 30mins? wow!

jessie bejerano · 13 years ago

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

Jessie Bejerano · 13 years ago

Is this for real? saan available ang Bandwidth na ito? meron ba kayo dito sa baguio? PM me guys im looking for a bandwidth source…

Edwin P. · 13 years ago

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

Mag Dungo · 14 years ago

Sky is crazy! Who in their right minds will pay P35K a month? For an intermittent Sky broadband? We all know Sky’s track record. We’ll probably get 40% uptime and we will never reach the 200Mbps. Yun ma ga-gaurantee ko. In Korea you can get 1Gbps for P2,000 a month, fiber optic pa. Not some low-tech cable. Rip-off!

Jherwynne Javier · 14 years ago

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

Ave.Uzer · 14 years ago

I am paying for the up to 1.5 Mbps plan…
I AM REACHING 1.8 Mbps so fuck you Skyhaters, eat shit and suck dicks you fucking faggots!

nikko · 14 years ago

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

Mr. Curious · 14 years ago

WHO THE FCK NEEDS A 200Mbps INTERNET SPEED IN RESIDENTIAL?!?! IT’S A FCKING RIP OFF!

tbone · 14 years ago

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

negro · 14 years ago

kupal ang mga ISP natin dito sa pinas, buti pa sa ibang bansa ambibilis ng internet connections

Emman Malaman · 14 years ago

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”.

Badong · 14 years ago

Tapos may capping na 10GB a month

Hahahaha!

meh · 14 years ago

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?

Harold · 14 years ago

Aanhin mo naman daw ang 200mbps sa bahay.

mcometa · 14 years ago

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

JustSayin · 14 years ago

it would’ve been nice if they updated the speed of their bundles to get more subscribers,
rather than go for a niche market.

also a more accurate test for speed would be to test it on a server not located in the philippines.

jhepoyski · 14 years ago

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.)

Suarez7 · 14 years ago

Bibili na lang ako ng bagong sasakyan. haha
Ang mahal!

wako · 14 years ago

is this unlimited?

icerkx · 14 years ago

Bakit hanggang ngaun mahal parin ang presyo ng intenet,999 parin nila ay 1.5mbps, subalit dito sa singapore naka 100mbps kami ay abot 3500 lang. nang aabuso lang sila

Pundit · 14 years ago

Wew, pricey much!

ChrisP · 14 years ago

Wew.. Pricey much! OK na ko sa 1 Mbps. :)

Cocopako · 14 years ago

2mbps okay na sakin,,,

garz · 14 years ago

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced!!!

JustAThough · 14 years ago

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 :)

grayscale · 14 years ago

bandwidth cap?

Mitee de la Cruz · 14 years ago

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?

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 14 years ago

No limit.

Ramon · 14 years ago

Hmm nah, it’s good that they’re offering this, but it’s still too expensive, and it’s almost guranteed that it won’t reach it’s advertised speed =/

UnknownDevice · 14 years ago

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.
