If you feel like the basic internet plans just won’t do, then you’re going to need to step it up a notch and get the next plan. This doesn’t mean that you have to go for the absolute best. Fortunately, there are affordable options in the PHP 2K range that offer decent speeds for the price.
UPDATE: We’ve adjusted the list to reflect changes to Globe’s new plans, and the speed boosts in their exiting unlimited plans.
As per our usual request, please do your due diligence when researching these ISPs. Making sure that they perform well in your area is better than having the fastest advertised speeds. Here are the internet plans that are under PHP 2K from the five most prominent ISPs:
| ISP | Plan | Speed | Inclusions | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLDT | UNLIFIBR PLAN 1299 | 10 Mbps | Unlimited calls to Smart/Sun/TNT | PHP 1,299 |
| UNLIFIBR PLAN 1699 | 15 Mbps | Unlimited calls to Smart/Sun/TNT | PHP 1,699 | |
| UNLIFIBR PLAN 1899 | 30 Mbps | Unlimited calls to Smart/Sun/TNT | PHP 1,899 | |
| Globe | Globe at Home Plan 1299 | 10 Mbps | Unlimited Calls to Globe/TM, Local area landline and NDD 500GB Cap | PHP 1,299 |
| Globe At Home Go Unli Plan 1699 | 20 Mbps | Unlimited Calls to Globe/TM, Local area landline and NDD | PHP 1,699 | |
| Globe At Home Go Unli Plan 1899 | 30 Mbps | Unlimited Calls to Globe/TM, Local area landline and NDD | PHP 1,899 | |
| Globe At Home Go Big Plan 1899 | 50 Mbps | 600GB Cap | PHP 1,899 | |
| SKY | SKY Fiber Unli Broadband Plan 999 | 5 Mbps | - | PHP 999 |
| SKY Fiber Unli Broadband Plan 1,499 | 25 Mbps | - | PHP 1,499 | |
| SKY Fiber Unli Broadband Plan 1,999 | 50 Mbps | - | PHP 1,999 | |
| Eastern Communications | Eastern Home Plan 998 | 10 Mbps | - | PHP 998 |
| Eastern Home Plan 1,498 | 30 Mbps | - | PHP 1,498 | |
| Eastern Home Plan 1,898 | 50 Mbps | - | PHP 1,898 | |
| Converge | FIBER X 1500 | 25 Mbps | - | PHP 1,500 |
Do note that the plans given by PLDT, Converge, and SKY are Fiber connections, which should be more consistent (that is to say, there are no peak hours), and should have relatively similar download and upload speeds. Meanwhile, we still haven’t gotten word on the connection type of Eastern Telecommunication’s plans.
As you can expect, going for faster, more expensive plans will net you more speed per Peso spent compared to the most affordable ones. While I won’t be going over each plan, here are notable takeaways from each ISP’s offerings:
Eastern Telecommunications is offering the cheapest, unlimited wired internet plan among the five ISPs, priced at just PHP 998.
SKY and Eastern Telecommunications are both offering the fastest internet connection under PHP 2,000. If you’re after raw speed, and these ISPs perform well in your area, then these are the plans to get.
If you want to save on telephone bills, getting a Globe or PLDT Plan will give you free unlimited calls to Globe/TM and Smart/Sun/TNT subscribers, respectively.
Additionally, Globe is offering a limited internet plan that can reach speeds up to 50 Mbps but is capped to only 600GB per month.
Before you subscribe, check the serviceability of your area or if there are installation fees or lock-in periods by going to the ISP’s respective website listed below:
As always, let’s help each other out by recommending what ISP works well in what area, so we can avoid having slow internet connections!
Hi thum,bs up for the 2k range internet plans.
Just want to ask if is there an internet with no loss connection also with decent speed?
I have a family friend in their 60’s asking me before. They want to have internet with no loss connection for they are not techie and have no idea how to refresh modem or etc.
Will wait for your answer.
Thanks.
