Sky Broadband offers 112Mbps for Php19,999

Heard about this yesterday but wasn’t able to verify it until today when I visited their booth and asked for a demo. Yes, you read it right — Sky Broadband is offering up to 112Mbps residential cable internet.

Then, I saw this banner/standee that says it’s really 112Mbps and not the 12Mbps we already knew they’re offering for about 2 years now.

Yeah, I couldn’t believe myself. So I had to see and test it. So here’s the YouTube clip I took while testing it on SpeedTest:

From our tests, it was able to register 86Mbps downstream and 4.3Mbps upstream. Sky Broadband reps tell me the theoretical speed is 112Mbps down and 5Mbps up.

I tried viewing YouTube HD (720p) and it was playing really smooth and I could really see the buffer status going faster than the playback.

There’s a catch here though — the subscription costs Php19,999 per month and it’s currently only available to residents of Manansala Tower at the Rockwell Center, Makati. They sure do know which condo residents have the cash to afford this service.

  1. Rockwell residents spend most of the time traveling, buying cars, shopping abroad and probably has more than 5 houses. they dont visit youtube that often or stream pirated online videos, so why subscribe to 112 mbps (and get only half the speed in reality)… and spend almost 20K per month just because they have money to burn. hehehe


  2. @abeolandres san yun? Pero kukunin mo nga???? Sarap! Abe may DM ako sayo.


  3. baka tulad lang din yan ng ibang broadband, false promises.. tulad nung pinost mo about it (yung “up to…”) Nakakahinayang naman na gumastos ng 20k tapos di pa rin aabot ng 112mbps.. hehehehe


  4. here’s another “UP TO blah blah speed”… untrue and deliberately misleading rich customers. LOL


  5. is this a 24-month contract lock-in? grabeh, almost half a million pesos for the internet subscription in 2 years. hahaha even if i can afford, i don’t think i’m dumb enough to fall into this trap.

    BUT YEAH WHATEVER, having 112mbps internet at home truly rocks! even if it means getting only half the speed in actual, its still super fast but being shortchanged by Skybroadband on the other hand. hahaha


  6. @abeolandres Of course. But joking aside, 112Mbps is pretty amazing amazing considering the relatively archaic infrastructure we have here.


  7. @tsokolate22
    if you we’re living in the places mentioned by abe in the post, 20k won’t mean much to you.


  8. Is there any bandwidth allocation per month? hehehe


  9. @abeolandres the question is why would you pay P19k for your residential broadband :)


  10. they should first roll out their regular plans to more provinces before making this big move. people like me here are waiting for sky broadband to arrive in my place so we can enjoy the 6 to 12mbps


  11. Wow.. Sky broadband can now supply that bandwidth?


  12. @abeolandres I think that’s a bit too much for broadband. We’ll have to wait a few more years before prices really drop.


  13. seriously if they can offer a 112mbps for 20k, they should also offer a 24mbps for 5k so it can easily be affordable. :3


  14. there’s a rumor that a major telecoms company has already set up fiber-to-the-home in posh makati residential areas. they’re currently in the testing phase and will be offering speeds from 60 to 100mbps by next year.


  15. They could start by calling me back. I called their hotline to ask if my area was available. No. I gave my cell number so their sales could call me back after they check. Nothing. I guess, no service. Bye.


  16. maganda to kun may package sila ng IPTV at VIOP phone service.. mala At&T uverse.. masyado malaki ung bandwith na yan for internet stuffs alone..


  17. Dunno. Personal broadband that costs more than most people’s monthly salaries? Doesn’t sound right. Social justice-wise and all.


  18. 20k a month for residential broadband?
    Who will get this? Parents who spoil their gaming fanatic sons/husbands rotten. OR a techi super rich anti social bachelor whose favorite TV show is Big Bang Theory, can afford to fly to Comicon every year, and bid on movie items/props.


  19. well ganun tlga.. may mga target market parin ang mga to.. like the 24k gold-plated iphone 3gs, stupid idea pero nabenta. may mga taong sadyang handang magubos ng pera, kasi kaya nila.. kayang impractical lang tlaga tingnan in any ways..


  20. Pwede na siguro yan na pang realtime video conference sa Skype?


  21. bagay sa kanila ay batuhin ng isang batyang KAMATIS. Who gonna pay for a 20k residential internet? They are out of their mind.


  22. magandang nagagawa ang 112mbps
    pagdating sa panood nang Anime in full HD 1080p at 47″ LED TV/PC Monitor, imagine that

    makaka-Skype na Face 2 Face in High Quality 1080p or less

    perfect for Internet Cafe na mahigit sa 20+ PC’s na sabay-sabay mag-youtube at manood nang sabay in full HD

    imagine you’ve been hosting a website na maraming nag-visit in no time

    but the downside is the Price itself, who could afford a P20k MSF for this, malamang hula ko yung mga bigating Artista ang makaka-afford yan


  23. It’s cable internet right? So what happens when there are a lot of other subscribers using the pipelines?


  24. Contrary to what others here are saying I think you should be able to spend your own money on what you see fit, if that means spending 20k on internet, why not? We do live in a capitalist society you know.

    Way to go judge and generalize that they’re spoiled.


  25. ganyan lang talaga ang buhay mga tangang mayayaman lang ang papatol dyan.. mga di makuntentong sila lang ang makaka afford nyan na kahit di nila alam basta mahal ang presyo..(yabang yabang lang ikanga) kaya nga sa rockwell lang available.. not practical


  26. Nice aus to Docsis 3.0 sa Pinas! Maglabas lang kau ng maglabas ng 100Mbps+ services para pag dating sa APO ko affordable na yan. Good job Sky.


  27. First Forbes Park (Globe) now a single condo in Rockwell? The Forbes rollout was more than a year ago and it hasn’t expanded. What’s the point? These guys don’t seem interested in extending it to the rest of us.

    Sky Broadband is not even available to the vast majority of Makati, where people who can afford to pay the higher cost live, and that’s been out for years now. Let alone the rest of the Metro. Screw that!


  28. @yuga there’s something wrong with ur iphone app. Iba ang lumalabas na article when i touch ur updates. I tried to comment, nag eerror lang. Im using safari to write this. Sana maayos kaagad.


  29. it does not have to start with the rich people

    internet should be an equalizer


  30. Here’s a hint on why they chose the location — Rockwell & Sky Broadband are both owned by the Lopezes.


  31. in 5 years maybe that speed will only cost around 2k a month.


  32. For sure Up To lang yan.. kalahati lang yan. but who would notice right? hehe


  33. OK pagkakakitan yan. kung may kilalaka or relative sa rock, share kayo sa bayad tapos gamit ka ng wifi para sa netcafe mo. hehehe


  34. Hehe, if you could afford PhP 20K/mo for your DSL, you probably don’t spend that much time on the internets. Unless you got rich off the internet.

    Although I guess there could be a few kids on Manansala Tower begging their rich mommy and daddy for this right now, hehe.


  35. Fiber optics to wala ng iba pa. Pero ibang fibre optics gamit nila, nakita ko kac ung post ni danny choo ung kinabitan xa ng internet na 100mbps fibre optics daw sabi nya pero ibang klaseng tech na gamit ung plastic lang. ECE students kung alam nyo tech na to paki elaborate please.

    Maganda to kung meron ka ng servers na inaalagaan kac di mo na kelangan mag subscribe sa paid hosting. eto na mismo un. kelangan mo lang ng storage at kung ano ano pa


  36. Uh wait.. SkyBroadband’s infrastructure sucks when it comes to downloading from torrents, right?


  37. very impractical
    if they can offer the bandwidth for TV, phone and Internet that’s good but only for Internet? no thanks

    can’t they offer anything that can attract the ‘masa’ than to impress the rich people?
