Honestly, basura ang internet nila. Nag upgrade kami ng internet from 3 mbps to 16 mbps noong June 1, 2018. Maganda sya the first week. 2 laptops at 5 phones ang nagcoconnect. I was playing league of legends on my laptop, my sister was playing mobile legends, si mama nag yo-youtube then si papa nanonood ng movie. There was no lag kahit marami ang naka connect. Pero habang tumatagal, nagiging basura ang connection nila. Umalis kina mama at papa, leaving me and my sister alone at home. So nag decide kami mag watch ng movie. Ambagal. We disconnect all of our devices except sa laptop na ginagamit namin para sa movie. Every 5 seconds nag bubuffer, ano yan? Isang laptop na nga lang naka connect, bagal pa ng net. June 16, 2018 ngayon pero wala talagang difference sa speed nila, naghihina pa ata. Please wag na kayong mag upgrade dahil magsisisi lang kayo. Parang binasura mo lang yung binayad mo. Next month papalit na kami ng internet. Kung sino man may alam ng internet na sureball talaga na mabilis, please reply.

am a subscriber to their 3mbps plan and planning to upgrade. Have been a subscriber for more than 10 yrs. I can stream without buffering, my son plays online, he does complain but all gamers complain and can’t get enough speed. I read and do a lot of research online, do online banking, download songs and shows. Am from Pasig area near Marcos Highway.

I just applied for their 16mbps plan. I am currently a PLDT DSL 8mbps subscriber the reason why I want to switch from PLDT to sky because PLDT really have a poor connection. So I wonder if mas malala pa sa sky.

So how did it go? Are you up to 16mbps now? Same case with me. I’m currently on 1999 plan with 5mbps. Just recently I saw their ad about the 16mbps plan for the same price. I tried to inquire if I can upgrade and all they said was that the 16mbps plan is temporarily on hold because there were, allegedly, subscribers (to the said plan) experiencing speed crash down to 1mbps due to some technical blah blah’s.. I was cynical about that.. Just wondering how your connection is now. Is it good?

Do not get DECEIVED by the word UNLIMITED INTERNET. Yes the speed will be 16 mbps but once you reached the data cap it will dip down to a super slow speed. That’s what UNLIMITED means. They would still allow you to connect to the internet but with super slow speed

Hi, Sir. So what is the data cap? How many GB per day can I consume?

I’ve been a skybroadband subscriber for years coming from PLDT and overall my experience with sky is good, not perfect. I’m on their 5mbps plan now and I just emailed them earlier today and my connection will be upgraded to 16mbps since I’m already paying 1999php for the plan I currently have. I guess I’m one of the lucky ones who has a stable connection with them.

If only their network was reliable. Was a subscriber 4 years ago for quite some time. Slow and selective browsing, intermittent connections, and generally bad network management. AFAIK, there are still a lot of people complaining of their service which basically did not improve at all after all this time.

Well, kanya-kanyang sentimiento lang yan. Been a subscriber for almost 2 years with 3Mbps and it’s about 2-3% of the entire year lang nag-d-DC, ping (latency) is always about 16-28 ms. Swertihan lang sa locations.

Can Yugatech ask PLDT when PLDT Fibr will become available here in Brgy. 605 Sta. Mesa Manila or expansion plans in Manila City? Converge ICT Fiber is currently installing their facilities here.

how can this be fast and the fastest if the upload is only 1 Mbps ??? is it fiber or just multiple copper wires binded? what about capping? what about sharing of bandwidth with Internet Cafe’s who will pull the bandwidth once they start on line games? what about customer support?

Sky internet only works well when the weather is fine. As soon as there is rain, say goodbye to your connection.

I had that problem before, called them up and their techs fixed it. Since then I’ve never experienced problems with my connection when it rains.

Avoid Sky Broadband! Intermittent/unstable connection. Horrific browsing/surfing speed nightly.

STAY AWAY from this. You’ve been warned.

@TRIADWARFARE Wow so you are willing to check your internet or call tech support for issues arising once a week or twice a week or even everyday?

I don’t live on a subdivision but I never get faulty lines with PLDT ADSL compared when I had Sky FYI…

triadwarfare · 11 years ago

So if you are to choose between PLDT ADSL and this, which would you choose?

I’d personally choose this based on internet speeds alone. While I understand that it sucks that it must be very difficult to have faulty lines, but hey, at least it’s available in most areas even if you don’t live on a subdivision.

#PickYourPoison

I don’t pity guys who get charged for internet because of failing to contact technical support. It’s not the ISP’s responsibility to check if your connection’s OK everyday. No ISP does that, even if you go to other countries like Australia. Don’t expect the ISP to do everything for you. At least you don’t get charged call out fees here

True! Don’t fall with this! We subscribed to them last April, it was fast until May. After that, May-Sept is hell!

They will demand for payment but no connection at all.
