Sky Broadband offers 5Mbps at Php999

may signal po ba yang di2 sa panabo city?

Yeoch. Kung 20gb yan, sold ako. That’s more or less my minimum monthly usage. So what happens when we go overboard the 15gb? Do we pay more or just get slower speeds?

This is interesting.

15GB is just 1 Steam full game for game, so what happens if I reached the cap? Am I back to 1Mbps?

If that’s the case, it’s OK..hopefully they get Bulacan coverage soon.

@Myke:

You will be disconnected automatically, and you will need to “top-up” your account.

It’s P100 per GB.

@jon:

If 20GB — you will be charged P999 for the first 15 GB and P500 for the 5 1GB topup.

Sounds tempting and it may be practical for users who just check their email, FB, Twitter and a few YouTube videos, the faster speed could easily tempt them to stay online longer and do more things.

it is very expensive. internet and electricity in our country is very expensive

buti pa sa singapore., mura ang rates at super high speed. taga sa presyo telco’s dito

Kung ang gamit lang namang ng internet mo ay mag t-tweet,mag p-post ng status sa fb eh di advisable to lalo na kung may pldt landline ka.
Mag add ka na lang ng for abour +250 eh may net ka na para sa fb twitter etc.

Make it 500 per month and you got yourself a deal.

baket walang inet na below Php600 per month??? compare to other countries parang mahal ng internet sa pinas?!

ok sana kahit 5gb lang, basta assured ka sa speed na 5mbps.

EH nung nagpakabit ako ng 3mbps nila, swerte ka na sa 1.5 mbps. Youtube mo pa nag bbuffer.

Kalimutan mo na rin mga rapidshare at torret. kasi pag iccomplain mo, sasabihin nila illegal yan at wala sila gagawin.

Ayun, bumalik ulit ako sa PLDT DSL.

5mbps?! haha! ayusin niyo muna infrastructure niyo!

i am currently a subscriber of their 3Mbps.
Maabot mo yung subscription speed mo kapag nagtotorrent ka na ng mga files na maraming seeds (100+).
Pag nagdownload ka rin ng files sa big sites like Google (GMail)mabilis ang DL speed mo.
Pati sa pag load ng pages mapapansin mo na mabilis ka.
Instant streaming din ang YouTube at 480p lalo na 360p. Di mo naman need mag 720p kapag maliit lang ang monitor mo at kapag di ka mag full screen at kung kitteh lang naman titignan mo.
Kaso madalas mag down ang proxies nila lalo na pag bagyo.
Di pa efficient ang pag reroute ng mga proxy servers nila.
Last time I checked they have 7 proxies.
Pag down, most of the time 2 proxies are down :(

ayos na sana kaso bakit may 15GB cap, eh di parang wala rin :(

ah base sa comment ng mga users dito
di pa sila reliable besides duon at as conspiracy ang bagal ng net sa pinas
this is a big ass bs promotion
sana hinde madame mauto para hinde ito magtagal
kaya ko nasabe dahil sa 15gb usage limit
sa ibang bansa ang 1k naten makaka10mbps na
kung unlimited iyan kukuha ko bukas na bukas rn
kaya naman nila gawen unli 5mbps lalo na iyon ibang isp talgan iniisahan nila mga customers nila kasi hinde na sila naligayahan sa tubo nila

Well you just can’t have everything. May trade off palagi. Hindi naman tayo high tech kagaya ng ibang bansa. Kung gusto mo mabilis mag migrate ka na lang. Dial up na lang muna hahaha..

Ok na sana yan pero mas ok siguro if 20GB usage at that same price.

Ano ba yan? Complain ng complain… kung ayaw niyo then stick to your old plan…

I torrent a lot so this won’t work for me. Also, that 5mbps speed happens in the “ideal” world only.

so ideally sino dapat ang mag avail ng ganyan kabilis ..atsaka bakit pa may 15Gb cap..whew!

at 5mbps i could use its bandwidth cap in 2 days

Im a user of SkyCable I subscribe 1.5mbps but they give me 1mbps.. kaya imposible ata yan YUGATECH ..

He2x Check it out this how to use ipad.

I’m actually not sure how much I use in a month… I think it would be great if Sky Broadband could give us details of our monthly usage (im currently subscribed to their 1.5mpbs), then personally inform customers that would fit great for this new offering.

some movies are more than 1Gig so 15 Gig is small.

base on experience, di niyo rin ma aapreciate yung 5 mbps nila na THEORITICAL speed.

nag subscribe kasi last May 2010 sa 6mbps unli plan nila. and walang kwenta. mabilis lang pag youtube (di lang naman youtube ang ginagamitan ng internet). on all other things, mahina, para kang naka dial up. lol. ang pangit pa ng customer service. pag tumawag ka sa kanila, sasabihin lang na gagawan “raw” nila ng paraan. pero ala pa rin.

summary:
i only had SKY broadband for a MONTH, disconnect ko na agad, binalik ko personally yung modem nila kasi ayaw nilang kunin sa bahay (di ka nila i-didisconnect kung hindi masauli yung modem) Php 4,999 pa nun ang 6mbps plan. sinayang ko lang pera ko sa kanila :(

kukulit! parang mga hindi nagbabasa, nakalagay na nga “if you’re not really a heavy user and don’t spend a lot of time surfing at home” =))

btw, 5Mbps is the port speed. it’s the speed between your modem at home and the switch of your ISP. connection rate to the internet is another thing. that will depend on the CIR set by the ISP to their 5Mbps subscribers.

pc modem ISP Internet

How I wish this can be available in my area too.. Myself as a heavy user does not really consume more than 10gb a month..

@ Alain,

Isa ka pang makulit na hindi nagbabasa…. sinabi na ngang hindi ito para sa mga heavy internet users na katulad mo.

@ joe,

hahaha wala naman ako balak magpakabit nito. ok na ako sa eastern telecom. 1k per month 2mbps unlimited.

Maybe I will try this one someday… For now I’m still happy in my current provider…

pwede ko ng pagkasyahin ung 15gb ^^

If you are given a lifetime supply of cigarettes for free, will you just be bound and bound and bound to smoke until supplies last, then complain that there are no more supplies thus making the supply “free and unlimited” worthless/misleading?

(Not a tight analogy I know, but that’s the picture.)

It’s about the speed of the internet. If you need that program/file NOW, then you can really get it NOW. Hindi yan tungkol sa unlimited or not. Makukuha mo na AGAD-AGAD ang mga kailangan mong files. Hindi masasayang ang oras mo kakahintay matapos ang download bago mo maumpisahan magtrabaho. Yun ang point dun kaya may sense ang mabilis na download kahit na may 15gb or 35gb cap. GETS NYO?

worst promo of ISP’s

panu po ba yan ? mas mabilis po ba yan sa dsl ? nag loloko kc ung pldt dsl ko eh sayang nmn ung 1700 na binabayad ko kanila per month

Paki-email po saken kung san lang po ito places available? thanks. js****@****.***

Guys please advice. I would like to change my ISP SmartBro (yung wireless naka-canopy antenna) to this Skybroadband. Im paying 988/month sa SmartBro…..eto po bang offer nila is mabilis?

Yung unlimited (uncapped) na 1Mbps for P999/month ng Sky is the same lang yun sa speed ng SmartBro ko? Tagal na kse Smartbro ko mga 4 yrs na nakalimutan ko na ano MBps nun.

Also one last question….etong Sky broadband po ba pwede na dito gamitin ang IP Cam na gusto ko setup sa house ko? Sa SmartBro daw kse hindi pwede kse wireless….may nagsabi sa akin na ang IP cams dapat yung mga wired like etong Sky. Sensya na bopols ako sa mga IP thing na yan :(

Thanks…

Kalokohan yang internet package na yan, in a month maconsume mo lang 15GB. Sa surfing pa lang malaki na nagagamit. Tapos kapag nag excess babayaran per data. Sa ibang bansa ang limited usage nasa 100, 200, 500;to 1000gb.
