Which Internet Service Provider Do You Prefer?

[nicomax]

im using go! internet. ok naman for a dial-up. hindi mahirap magconnect. powered by eastern telecoms ata ito. 25hours/100pesos. rating: 8/10

[elmo37]

meron pa bang pre-paid internet ? sorry, nasanay na ako sa DSL, akala ko lahat naka DSL na

 

meron pa naman.ako gamit ko smart 3G using my N73. 20 pesos per hour lang.solve na rin sa download at browsing @384kbps pag madaling araw.

[czarjo21]

BLAST, ok naman kahit peak hours, yan gamit ko dati, now using bayantel DSL, pretty dependable naman.

[geneticfreak]

counted ba dito yung prepaid na Smart BRO? if so then for me its the best prepaid service in terms of speed and pricing.

[Protoculture]

IMHO mahal ang pre-paid ng smart, cmiiw 10 pesos / 30 mins.? mas mahal lumalabas kumpara sa post-paid plan...

 

maganda lang pwede mo dalin kahit saan (ata)

Hi all!

 

I was just wondering, maybe this thread could help everybody in choosing our internet service provider or our next. Ive been reading a few reviews here and there and most of the time people are ranting about the crappy service. if there is anything good in your connection please do tell. here are a few questions:

 

1. What is your ISP(internet service provider)?

2. What is your bandwidth?

3. How much are you paying monthly?

4. Are you really getting the bandwidth you are paying for?

5. Are you experiencing any problems with your connection?

6. Are you satisfied with the service?

7. If you are satisfied please tell why.

8. Would you stick to your internet connection now or change to another ISP? Which ISP would it be?

[frankiboi]

of course i have to answer first hehehe...

 

1. Im using smart bro

2. 386kbps i think..

3. im paying P989/month

4. nope... other people are paying for the same price and has a better connection

5. its reliable... always connected... but the problem is its just slow...

6. nope... if i had to call 6727277 its either i have to wait so long or they'll just hang up... but there are times that the call pushes through

7. the only thing that keeps me satisfied is im always connected... i dont get disconnected like a few of my friends... but they get good speeds thats the trade off...

8. im not satisfied and i want to change to pldt dsl... once PLDT is available in my area i would definitely convert! but... no pldt dsl yet ive been applying for a year now...

[frankiboi]

wow ang dami pa pala gumagamit ng dial up... bat ayaw niyo pa mag broadband? diba parang mastipid mag broadband?

[tabolits]

Ito naman ang sa'kin...

 

1. What is your ISP(internet service provider)?

A. Unfortunately, smartbro den.

 

2. What is your bandwidth?

A. 384 kbps.

 

3. How much are you paying monthly?

A. 999

 

4. Are you really getting the bandwidth you are paying for?

A. No, according sa Download Speed Test ko ay 332 kbps or 41 kb/s. :cry:

 

5. Are you experiencing any problems with your connection?

A. Minsan may bagyo ay disconnected ako for 5 days.

 

6. Are you satisfied with the service?

A. Hell No. Ang style ng Customer Serviceresponse ay "Passing The Buck". You will be given a "Report Number" after another. A representative will promise you a "24 Hour Waiting Time and Call Back" for an update on a technical support, I always end up calling back after 3 F#C%iNG Days. Anoher thing is I hate their false advertisement sa Outlook E-mail Support, I was informed by a couple of smartbro tech support guys na, smartbro does not support Outlook e-mail. :grr:

 

7. If you are satisfied please tell why.

A. One more time... Hell No.

 

8. Would you stick to your internet connection now or change to another ISP? Which ISP would it be?

A. I have to suck it up for the meantime, 12 Months Contract kase. I will definitely change to anoher ISP after my contract, any reomendations?

 

I miss my Satellite Dish/Cable Connection when I was abroad. :thumbsupsmiley:

sometimes dsl don't work

[frankiboi]

kung magpapalit ka abangan mo na lang yung globe or yung happy communications... mag launch daw sila ng wimax this year... pero sana ok parin pricing... mukhang malalampaso ang smart bro kasi wireless so hindi dependent sa hard lines... pero meron din nagsabi ang PLDT mag palit ng dsl wires to fiber optic cables diretso sa bahay kaso di naman magiging available samin yun kasi wala din dsl availability samin... badtrip noh... kaya abang na lang mag launch ng wimax...

[j23knight]

PLDT DSL internet service is good but repairs and maintenance very poor for my experience. I heard globe has good DSL.

[icindstreets]

My globe broadband here in makati works great... however yung sa mom ko sa paranaque sucks... cguro kasi wireless...

[prutkeyk]

skybroadband..no problems with dl and games..

[lycon]

I use PLDT MyDSL

768kbps is the maximum I got when I started with the service and now that rarely happens :thumbsdownsmiley: I usally get 384-512 kbps. But its gets me on the internet most of the time so really can't complain.

 

I just hope it stays that way. Ayoko na tawagan uli "customer service" nila to report a problem, that was a very bad experience and a waste of time.

[basic_instinct]

PLDT sa akin minsan mabilis minsan mabagal. Weder weder lang yan

[greennblue68]

any FR on the new Globe wimax or sky broadband? planning to change from smartbro and would appreciate any FRs on these 2 providers.

[bubutako]

PLDT tops

 

Before we used Eastern Telecoms which was extremely fast and real good for VOIP but I don't know what happened to them now.

 

Broadband Philippines used to be great too but they were bought by Bayantel

[ram200682]

pldt dsl is good, especially if u can have business line, sky broadband is good also, the problem is, its not available everywhere.

[highway69]

I think each ISP has its own downside, depending on the area.. mine I use smartbro for 2 yrs now wla nman hassle.. My friend/ former college classmate tells me the manager of their Backbone lives near the area (sna till now di cya lumipat ng bahay) kaya lagot tlga sila pg ngkaron ng downtime outside their maintenance window. All wireless internet kahit anong ISP pa yan basta umuulan has bad connection, the rain droplets affects the LOS, adds noise to transmission. Iba pa rin pg wired connection tlga kaso olats tlga service ng PLDT, hope Globe's service team is good though haven't tried it yet.

[roundhead]

worse service is PLDT DSL , nalugi ang internet shop ko dahil sa PLDT DSL , lagi disconnect.

imho, for broadband internet, speed costs a LOT OF MONEY

 

...the faster it gets, the more expensive it becomes ..and yet there is still no assurance that the connection would be stable :thumbsdownsmiley:

[deepdiverboy]

PLDT DSL for home use works just fine for me. If you have an old DSL modem, don't trade it in for the new smaller ones. The newer ones suck, laging disconnect. Yung old model (usually black) is bulkier, but they never disconnected in 3 yrs of using.
