Dsl Or Cable Broadband?

[draxxm]

It depends... per scenario basis...

 

Both DSL and Cable Internet are shared bandwdith. Meaning if the line gets saturated (too many users at any time, connection type becomes immaterial.. both are sluggish.

 

The difference between the two is that Cable is more capable of supporting longer distances compared to DSL. For the DSL, if you are too far from the telco, you have the poorest signal.

I presume meron kang globe signal sa loob ng bahay ninyo dati, at kung lalabas ka, meron pa ring signal.

 

Kung ganon ang kalagayan mo, ang ibig sabihin niyan ay humina ang buga ng signal ng globe galing sa cellsite nila. Kasi, yung plug-in modem mo ay gumagana.

 

If that is the case, you have some options: 1. Call globe technical support at doon ka magtanong. 2. maghanap ka ng location sa bahay ninyo na malakas-lakas ang globe signal. 3. Kung kaya ng budget mo, maghanap ka ng cellular signal booster. Medyo gagastos ka lang nga (and I think it's not worth it). Maraming ganyan sa greenhills. Aabutin ka ng mga P12k-P14k. 4. Change your internet provider.

 

 

 

 

 

 

humina talaga ang signal ng globe. ganyan din dito samin. mahina ang cellphone signal nila. malakas ang sun dito samin. baliktad na sila ngayon. dati sun ang mahirap makahanap ng signal. ngayon globe na ang ganun

Currently, i'm using bayantel here in Olympus, NOvaliches, but for a reason, we are moving out. I don't have an idea if we can transfer our bayantel to Camarin, Caloocan. if bayantel does not offer service within the place, pahingi naman ng advice mga bro kung anong magandang ISP sa area ng Camarin, Caloocan before Bagong Silang??

 

thanks mga tol.

[maniako]

I still go for DSL connection, problema kasi sa cable internet, mas malayo ka node means mas mababa ang signal at mas lalong bumabagal

Ask mo yung Wi-Tribe if abot nila ang Camarin. Based on current market, mataas ang throughput nya kumpara sa DSL at cable. Dyahe lang pag umuulan kasi talagang nawawala ang internet.

[kesongputi]

Pldt DSL user din ako. So far nakukuhs ko naman yung 1mbps na speed kaso madalas ma dc ang connection namin.

[keyholder]

I think lahat naman ng ISP, kesongputi. I'm using bayantel, uber lag. Depende kasi sa application na ginagamit mo kung TCP ba o UDP. Ang DotA is still considered UDP kaya pag nagkaron ng loss kahit sa isang packet ng signal, DC na agad yan. Unlike pag youtube, TCP kaya kahit maDC, marerecover nya yung lost signal.

[polofalltrades]

Correction, most real time applications use UDP. Streaming video included.

DSL

[sample101]

things to consider when choosing an ISP; if cable, the number of subscribers in your area and if dsl, the distance from your house to the local office in your area. What is best for one location may not be what is best for your location. Ask your neighbors how reliable there ISP is.

Globe tattoo user po ako since 2010 and so far wala naman akong problema sa service... except kung wala talagang signal sa location kung saan ko kailangan yung connection. although kinailangan kong iupgrade yung modem ko from the USB plug-it to a more heavy duty version (huawei b200w.) so far maganda kuha ng signal nung modem ko kaya very consistent yung service.

 

 

 

 

 

already tried using it on different locations and so far solid at mabilis yung connection. here are the tested locations:

1. Del Monte Ave Frisco
2. Project 6 & 8 Tandang Sora
3. Eastwood Libis
4. Alabang Zapote Rd Las Piñas
5. San Francisco St., Mandaluyong

out of experience lang, mas maganda talaga DSL dahil dedicated yung line at mas stable ang connection. pero it still all boils down kung ano yung service provider na available at best sa location current niyo.

Cable

[countermeasure]

Simple rule of thumb, fellow GM. If you are a download freak go for Cable DSL, but if you are a gamer, go for DSL-Broadband,

[slickprick]

DSL is the way to go. Go with PLDT for no capping
