Dsl Or Cable Broadband?

[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

Depends on the line in your area. Some areas have stable phone lines for DSL while some have better cable lines than phone

[Miguel_D]

I would like to try DSL

[direstraits94]

F$@k smart cable broadband

[gotagug]

DSL

[milkman26]

I've had bad experiences on both Smart and Globe. PLDT's custom support is good depending on your area though. Right now I'm using pldt

[ghidolkod2]

im using globe dsl right now. stable naman siya most of the time, except today they're having nationwide network issues probably due to typhoon luis last saturday,/sunday

[silverarrow1692]

dsl pa rin

[docseiya]

DSL.

[Rick56]

Noong broadband pa ako madalas akong ma disconnect

Nakaasar kasi madalas akong mag online games nung time na yon

Lalo na pag umuulan totally walang silbi ang broadband ko

Tapos nung lumipat ako sa DSL e wala na akong naging problema sa connection

 

So para sa akin e DSL bassed on experience

[xoomleonhart]

DSL is so the most reliable. Although you may want to subscribe to unli LTE and get your self a B593s LTE router.

I'm using sky cable for a few years now. okay naman. Marikina area.

[arjaylyn]

dsl

[Google]

i would go for cable.

 

why?

 

- generally DSL speed is better but

- reliability, DSL is prone to lags and disconnections.... mas stable ang cable.

[crazymassage89]

DSL!, for now kaso not to reliable, me time na na acess ko certain website iba hindi, example, kaninang umaga naaccess ko yahoo mail taz, fb di ko ma access, tapos pag gabi naaccess ko na fb, yahoo mail naman hindi, pa iba iba rin, di ako nag dodownload non, in any form

.

Mobile braodband, naka GPRS lagi, suertehan lang kung naka 3G (yung 384kbps lang, hindi HSDPA or 3.5G) minsan, Laguna area

[Joel88]

I am using PLDT DSL at home. Okay naman ang speed and reliable naman. Never tried using Cable broadband before so I wouldn't really be able to compare.

What is true for one type of provider is true for all. Internet speed is all about bandwidth. There is an allocated bandwidth, and that is shared by all subscribers. Hence, more subscribers on line, bandwidth is more divided, slower internet speed. The less subscribers online, more bandwidth is available, the connection speed is faster.When a particular service provider says you have a guaranteed 1Mbps connection, that is only partly true. 1Mbps means that would be the allocation to each subscriber IF total available bandwidth is divided by X number of subscribers. BUT, service providers would easily allow more subscribers over their projected users. Why? Because logically, the expectation is that NOT ALL subscribers log-on at that same time. That is the provider's expectation and projection.It does happen, however, that there are particular times that everyone, and more, go online. That's when you will start to experience a sluggish internet connection.Case in point: all service providers are only good at the start, when there subscribers are just few. But you will notice, in time, your internet speed will also slacken. That means, the number of subscribers have already increased, hence the reason why your internet connection will start to slow down.When that happens, your service provider SHOULD upgrade their bandwidth. If they don't, they're service will start to suck, and they will loose their subscribers as these will transfer to another service provider.The real test of true internet speed is your actual observation when you browse, or when you upload/download files. Not even sites like speedtest.net show the actual and real internet speed.

I agree!
