We also contacted BayanTel to inquire about their fastest internet offering. Based on the email that we received from them, their top-of-the-line offering has an MSF of Php24,999 with only burstable speeds of up to 20Mbps.
In addition, the local ISP is also offering IAS or Internet Access Service via Metro Ethernet with a maximum speed of 10 Mbps for $1,250 with a one-time fee of $500.
Can you please help me to find a better telcos for internet shop?
Everything in the Philippines is pathetic, from politics to internet connection and transportation. If there is a term such as 4th world country, this is it! Almost everyone is corrupt, and everyone has crab mentality!
wala kayong lahat sa office nasa 700Mbps ang internet free lang sympre sila may ari ng sky broadband, nagdodownload ako ng 100GB na mga files in less than 2hours…hahhahaha
It’s not about the plan pricing in all honesty. What you have to check though are the stability and performance of these ISPs in your area. Check your neighborhood, or several forums before you subscribe. Para hindi masyadong nagrereklamo pag nakabitan na. ;)
Give me a break…….How are you supposed to find out the real-world performance of these ISPs (I use the phrase loosely)without actually subscribing……By which time,it’s too late. They lock you into a 2-year sentence with them.
Furthermore, you can pay as much as you want monthly- the point is, you will NEVER get what you pay for in terms of speed…….BECAUSE GLOBE ARE A BUNCH OF THIEVES. If the dumbass philippines government had not allowed PLDT /GLOBE to operate a duopoly, maybe there would be a chance of customers getting value for money….But as it is, its a case of “If you dont like it,kiss my ass””
@Grumpy,
I was using Sun Broadband Wireless back then. Until they decided to throttle my browsing speeds (this was a big issue of the ISP before). Surveyed my neighbors for their DSL subscriptions and experiences. Most of them were PLDT and BayanTel subscribers. I was able to survey 2 Globelines DSL subscribers, which said they are yet to encounter any downtime. I decided to choose Globelines (and now Tattoo DSL) based from these feedbacks, and until now, only during the rage of Milenyo and “Habagat” were I able to experience service outages. (Their monthly capping for new plans suck, though)
It’s a case-to-case basis, but often than not, choosing the lesser evil works. :)
“you will NEVER get what you pay for in terms of speed” – Where is this based from? Hirap kasi sa mga Pinoy, you always like to compare prices with U.S., Singapore, South Korea… DREAM ON! Unless PH is able to compete with these countries for communication technologies and infra, then you’re better off using India or Thailand as your baseline.
I laughed so much when I read this article…I couldn’t reply for 15 minutes…..
I have GLOBE TATTOO HOME BROADBAND 5MB/s…Im lucky if I get 20% of that speed, 90% of the time. A friend of mine has GLOBE 10MB/s. He’s lucky to get 3MB/s 90% of the time.
GLOBE as a Company, is a joke…..Unfortunately, the joke is on their customers.Have you seen their latest Plans?…….”Up To” is GLOBE’s favourite expression…And anyway,what is the use of “Up to 15 MB/s” when you have an 80Gb download cap? Do you realise how soon you would exceed your capping at that speed (not that you would ever reach 15MB/s)? And subsequently throttled to 64Kb/s………
Mr Bulaong should do some research…….
I got the same reaction dude! Mr. Bulaong knows about if for sure but Yugatech is “maka” Globe so he won’t say it.
It’s because the Globe Tattoo DSL Plan 9999 that’s indicated here is not subject to monthly capping or FUP. Joke’s on you guys for bashing the article without getting your facts straight ;)
Depends on location, I guess. I’m on Globe DSL here in Pasig (PLDT Fibr is not yet available in my location) and I get decent speeds. For my 15 Mbps plan, I am yet to see my speed go below 12 Mbps. Downloads are at 1.5 MB/s. 1080p YouTube videos are smooth (stats for nerds indicate 12 Mbps).
It’s even more stable than the PLDT Fibr connection we have in Bicol where YouTube videos can sometimes take a while to buffer and Spotify playback skips on peak hours.
I’m using globe’s old plan of 10mbps, with no fup. It often reach 1mb/s download speed.
Guys…. Huwag na magtaka. Economic nga ang bagal na internet pa kaya
Tsk tsk…
Foreign internet providers.. please invade Philippine Telcos with higher speed at a Low price.. I think you will have more subscribers than the existing providers if you do that..
Dto sa Singapore:
Starhub 1Gbps Fibre Broadband = SG$49.90
Singtel 1Gbps Fibre Broadband = SG$50.00
wow how inexpensive in SG. woe pinoys :(
I would personally go for PLDT Fibr. We have the basic fibr plan at home. It’s around Php1,800 monthly. Speeds average at 3-5mbps. And I feel like the connection speed doubles from 12AM – 6AM.
BUT Php20,000 is still very expensive. I guess if I’m a Sy or a Zobel…
Hi,
I respect the article’s point of view on the comparison of the fastest internet speed but the article does not have an apple to apple comparison. Eastern’s IDS service has a contention ratio of 1:1 which gives the client a guarantee 155Mbps. IDS is a corporate grade internet and cannot be compared to other telcos residential offering mentioned above. This also explains why Eastern’s price is in dollars compared to others that is in pesos.
If I may suggest to the author to please kindly edit the article to avoid confusion. Maybe additional information on what kind of internet it is will help.
Thanks
Agree with this. Eastern’s IDS gives 155/155 (DL/UL). Also, 155 is the Commited Speed unlike the others with UP TO **** Speed. The IDS isnt comparable with other services provided in this article.
US prices:
Legend(DL speed/UL speed)
Time Warner – 300mbps/20mbps $64.99+taxes
Comcast – 2000mbps/??? $299.95+taxes | 150mbps/??? $129.95+taxes
Verizon Fios – 500mbps/500mbps $214.99+taxes
AT&T U-Verse – 1000mbps/??? $110.00+taxes
If they can offer speeds like that with a much lower price, why can’t the philippines do the same. :(
No worries, when Bam Aquino finally fixes that competition law, we’ll be able to have some good Comcast Master Race internet. Putting the duopoly to it’s place.
If i were to choose, I’d pick globe. Its the cheapest plan with good benefits…
All itrnet sucks in Philippines over state under supply
Ulul ka, vtlobo!
Further proof that the Philippines is a hopeless plutocracy. For the fossils out there that still believe that fast, reliable internet should still be a luxury in this day and age, crawl out of your time-warp bubble plox. Or, seriously, go extinct already.
Gotta agree with you that internet rate should have gone down and the speeds up here in PH. But once you get to see it also from the providers perspective you’ll somehow understand that it’s not that easy or simple. And to compare our state of the internets to another developed country is really a moot point. For instance, building the infra for a disparate island nation is really so much more costly than for a single island tiny country with majority of subs are on condo type residences/buildings. Another big difference is that here we dont have a common neutral local IX for content developers to peer with thus could possibly bring down or minize utilizing ornpaying for transit going to another country’s iX just to connect to sites/content.
I’ve worked for both an SG ISP and a local ISp and believe me the local ISP’s international capacity is manyfolds over than that of the SG ISP but the latter is offering gigabit even 2gbps for residential. The local ISp can offer that same speed as they are using the same technology but they dont for whatever reason. Probably coz the local ISPs number of subs is also manyfolds over than the SG ISPs.hehe Please note also that all ISPs oversell their bandwidth.
These are just two challenges here that I see for PH ISPs and there are indeed many more factors to consider on the pricing of intetnet access.
The Fastest Internet in PH That Most Homeowners Can’t Buy. XD
Marami nag babasa ng blog nyo na kumukuha ng info kaya paki ayos mga post nyo.
maayos naman po yung post.. ang hindi po yung pag iintindi nyo.. the post is all about the highest bandwidth isp’s can offer..
enterprise data type connection is always priced at dollars rate like PLDT IGATE, GLOBE Enterprise, EASTERN Leased Line..
– i also agree that it’s somewhat pricey, but if you weigh in the factors you’ll know why..
Philippines is not covered by a single land like other nation
Rampant stealing of cables by bakal boys
Free loaders, the ones stealing bandwidth by means of using hacks/vpn/proxy
High government taxes, and electricity
these are some factors that we don’t consider but matters in correlate to giving the service
Hi Dunkin,
vtlobo has a point. It may be expressed on a not so nice manner but the details are a bit out of order. The article compares the speed but indicated the price thus implying that one offer is very expensive yet has a smaller bandwidth. Yes there is the comparison of speed which is the point of the article but the inclusion of price without labeling if it is for enterprise or residential, and the contention ratio (CIR) is deceiving.
Thanks, :)
paki ayos pag nag popost ng info typo ata yung $14,334 that’s 645,030 @45php monthly yan ha 7,740,360 per year wala at editor website na ito. get you facts straight!
That price is quite common in the enterprise segment. I’d still say though that that quote from eastern is a bit higher than most for a 155mbps dedicated internet access. Most likely thats for an STM1 IPLC going to US plus IP port. Kumbaga dedicated yung access mo up to US then US ISp na magbibigay sayo ng internet. Theres a difference with that than the usual dedicated internet port up to the local ISP or IX.
