Dsl Or Cable Broadband?

[diggnation]

using PLDT right now. so far it's good. cant compare it to the ones i used back home (comcast, rogers etc.) pero decent naman. i can download and watch online without lagging

[j23knight]

for me, depends on your area, sometimes cable is better while dsl is not vice versa. I had a friend who had both. Cable very fast in torrent but sax at games. While DSL good for games not that good in Torrent downloads.

Hi! just wandering around, I have internet cafe and we have two internet provider, kaso nga lang yung globe for the past two months na eh! walang connection, sabi for upgrading daw. mandaluyong kami and I'm thinking if we can switch to skybroadband di ko lang lam kung ok ito sa location namin? San ba location mo? can you give more details regarding skybroadband kung paano kami makakapag subscribe and its performance? We have ten pc so far. thanks!

imho, pareho lang yan. ang pinagkaiba lang nyan is yung CIR rate na pipirmahan mo as subscriber and the method of how data is transmitted and how the telco delivers it and performs customer and technical services.

 

i had bad experiences for both cable and DSL, so wala akong kinikilingan.

Swertihan lang cguro kung saan mas maganda.

Ano bang mas mabilis gamitin sa tatlong available na broadband kit yung smartBro, Globe Tattoo, o yung Sun prepaid Kit?

mydsl pldt really sucks almost 2 weeks now they cant fix the problem in my internet shop, at the moment i temporary closed my shop due to this problem ( intermittent from fast to slow). I dont want to suffer my costumer kaya nagclosed muna ako .CALLING THE ATTENTION OF PLDT MY DSL , IF YOU CANT FIX , I THINK ITS BETTER TO SHIFT NOW TO ANOTHER OPTIONS.

they said that copper wire is faster than the cables that's why i prefer DSL

[jczobelbadboy]

here in pasig naman (dela paz) over a month na, nawala internet during ondoy until now no service pa rin yung aming Globe DSL pati phone. Grabe!

 

Which is better DSL or Broadband, its the same. Better yet you ask for a trial, yun nga lang 24 months magiging lock-in period mo.

CABLE FTW!!! Ok naman DSL kaso para sakin laging may problem sa line e, minsan sa modem, dami mo pang gagalawin para pag turn on ng PCP e automatic ng bukas internet. Cable kasi direcho na and talagang mabilis. You can never go wrong with cable internet

Experience with Cable Internet from Mountain View Cable of Baguio City.... VERRRRRRYYYYYYYYY SLOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Technically speaking, cable internet is faster, if you are near the source provider. Otherwise, ADSL would be faster because the telephone lines has long been established.

 

pero if you're paying 1-2 mbps lng, go for ADSL kc ndi naman nila nalilimit ung bandwidth na binibigay sayo. case in point: i'm paying for 3 mbps but i get 5 mbps sa caloocan monumento area. not sure w/ the cable internets though.

 

pero lately, the service has sucked so bad, and i'm opting to reach 6mbps through skynet. unfortunately, ndi pa daw servicable ung area ng caloocan.

I'm using Globe Broadband. My location is Sta. Maria, Bulacan and I have the 1Mbps wireless plan. Only had it for 2 weeks. Globe has 2 annoying issues:

 

- My browser (whether IE8, Google Chrome or FireFox) always returns a "page cannot be displayed" error after I click on any "Sign in" or Log in button. Buti n lng may remember me option :glare:

- Upload is non-existent. Mag-upload k lang ng pic s facebook error n. speedtest.net confirms this also. The site returns an error saying "uploading test failed" (or something like that). The DL speed is good minsan 1.2 Mbps p nga eh kaso ung uploading function really ticks me off. Parang one way street lang talaga.

 

Avoid globe muna if you're near my area. I'll post updates here if Globe fixes it.

Meron pa pala! Globe limits P2P downloading ny alloting only 20% of download speed. So if your into torrents, and alang available cable or DSL, Smartbro n lng kayo or Sun. You'll hate Globe because of that. :cry:
