1 Mbps thru Smart Wifi?

It’s called PLDT myDSL-W (as in wireless) … same animal, different bandwidth.

There are 3 residential plans for PLDT DSL-W :

Plan 999 256 Kbps – Php 999USD 17INR 1,443EUR 16CNY 124

Plan 1,995 512 Kbps – Php 1,995USD 34INR 2,882EUR 32CNY 248

Plan 3,000 1 Mbps – Php 3,000USD 51INR 4,334EUR 49CNY 372

Initially available in Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao.

If this baby becomes available in our small island-province of Guimaras, I sure do love to get connected from our little beach over there (ever heard of Alubihod beach?).

A month here, a month there, ain’t bad huh?

I had a hard time looking for cafes with internet connection in the town of san miguel, guimaras. If alubihod is connected I’ll probably stay there more often. I’m supposed to be there last thursday.

As of the moment, there are ongoing constructions of hundreds of base stations nationwide. This would help to serve other areas that are currently not included in our coverage area. The bad thing is, newly constructed base stations only get signals from old base stations causing congestion which leads to slow to no internet connection in the network. The pipe started to be choked more than a month ago but they are still accepting hundreds of new subscribers everyday. Sorry, I have to say this. I am from Meridian. I just can’t take this anymore. My conscience always disturbs me! T_T

Hopefully tani ma- materialize and that would solve our connectivity probs. Didto sa amon sa villa, bisan linya ka telepono di ka lab-ot. PLDT had been claiming that they have extensive upgrades and modernization on their network. Pero as I could remember, 11 years na apply ko sa landline sa ila wala gid gihapon.

So at this time mantinir lang ko anay sa Islacom (krone type, wireless man ni, classic type lang hehehe) galing pag mag labay eroplano (alagyan gid abi balay namon pakadto sa madurriao) ga ka DC dayon Internet ko :-(

I hope it could be in placed soon.
