DSL ISP for Unlimited (Gb-wise) downloading
« on: May 02, 2013, 03:31:57 am »
Hi mga ka-espiya,


I'm a long time subscriber of smartbro dito sa laguna, >5 years na yung subscription but lately nagimplement sila ng FUP , 15Gb / month na lang ang pwede mo gamitin with normal speed, tapos pag lumampas ng 15Gb eh throttled down to 30kbps (in my case) , sakto na lang pangbukas ng average sized webpage ng mabilis.

So eto na problema ko, ano po marerecommend niyo sa kin na ISP, yung DSL na sana (unlimited daw ito Gb-wise) , ayoko na ng broadband kasi unti unti na kinakain ng FUP yung mga offers na ganun, I'm willing to pay 999 - 2k for the connection as long as mabilis at unlimited downloading.

Salamat sa mga magrereply, at pakilipat na lang po kung nasa maling board!  toast::

wala naman iba pagpipilian kundi PLDT, Globe lines at Bayantel. wala naman yatang bayantel sa area nyo at isa pa pangit service.

so PLDT lang ang choice mo. kung available globe dyan sa inyo magglobe ka since mas mura pero masmaganda pa rin service ng PLDT.

wala ngang  Bayantel sir, just checked, salamat sa response!

am now checking PLDT DSL plans, pero medyo di malinaw ito:

http://www.pldt.com.ph/products/consumers/internet/PublishingImages/myDSL%20plan%20flyer.jpg

ayoko kasi nung bundled pa, may plan ba sila na not including phone line? hiwalay pa kasi ata sa bayad yun, I just want to pay for the net, I don't need the phone  ??? (sorry, not really aware of DSL stuff)

saka alin kaya sir dyan yung nearest sa smartbro plan 999 ko, service wise? thanks! :D

not looking for a workaround, iiwanan ko kasi sir yung connection sa bahay, hindi ako halos ang nagamit nun so I doubt resetting every single time will work lalo na at non-tech savvy yung gagamit.

also, eventually magagawan ng patch yang resetting, I don't wanna waste my time researching kung may iba pang paraan, dagdag sakit ng ulo yan pag nagkataon hehe :)

sa pagkakaintindi ko sa smartbro "up to" 2mbps, kung mamalasin may time na 100kbps or lower pa minsan tama ba? mahal ang 2mbps plan ng PLDT

plan 1299 may constant speed sya na 768kbps. kasama na yung phone sa 1299 na babayaran.

kung internet lang alam ko globe pwede, pero hindi yata sa PLDT.

or mag globe broadband postpaid stick ka na lang. 999 din saka alam ko walang cap ang data usage. hintayin mo yung mga globe user na ka-espiya natin para ma-confirm.

di ko gets tong "constant" sir, you mean ito yung upper limit ng download speeds?

so solo ko naman yung 768kbps speed na yan as compared to 2 mbps pero shared sa smartbro (naglalaro lang yung speed ko between 160 - 240kbps sa DDL dati, until magka FUP)? tama po ba pagkakaintindi ko?

so yung 1299 po, all in na kasama yung bayad sa phone, with unlimited local calls? sorry sa dami ng tanong sir, sobrang dami din kasi ng nilalagay nila na info sa ad eh, di naman streamlined at madaling intindihin

ayoko na po itry yung sa broadband sir, may nakalagay na FUP sa globe site eh, baka maapektuhan din yan, sayang naman yung ibabayad ko sa lock in period D:

yes, constant speed ang 768kbps. kung bumaba man iyan maliit lang ibaba. posibleng dahil sa physical line may problema.

gamit ko sa bahay is 1mbps, constant iyon hindi nag-iiba. kaya lang dl speed ko is 150kbps lang <--- eto yung nalilito ako. pero kung papasyal dito si bodieph sa thread mo mas maipapaliwanag nya mabuti :D

sa 1299 all in na iyon, internet connection at phone. as long as hindi NDD (ibang probinsya, kasama na Manila) ang tatawagan mo walang additional na charge.

speedtest ko:

nawala yung ipopost ko sana pag refresh ng screen so shortcut ko nalang

pag wireless broadband, mas marami nakikishare since lahat kayo in the area na gumagamit ng signal na network na yun (i.e. smart) share kayo sa speed

sa residential DSL (usually dynamic IP), mas konte lang kayo na share sa speed so mas stable ang speed na makukuha mo. although meron parin talaga time na mabagal yan, example nalng kung yung kapitbahay mo pareho kayo connection tapos siya mga tipong 10 computers puro nag youtube, nag torrent, etc

technically mas mabilis ang wireless broadband for the same monthly fee. pero ok lang yan pag nasa lugar ka ikaw lang (or konte lang kayo) ang gumagamit sa network na yun (i.e. nasa may bundok ka and ikaw lang gumagamit sa signal ng smart, more or less solo mo ang buong 7.2mbps)

yung pinakitang speedtest showing 1.25mbps, that translates to about 150 KB/s, so tama nga yung nakukuhang speed ni toblerone

edit

kaya pala nabura, naulit pala nag copy options sa forum, if copy lang option na pinili mo iba ang makukuha mo pag paste

don't be confused with 1Mbps (1Mega bits/second) and 150kBps (150 kilo bytes/second).. Di ko alam na may 15GB cap ang pldt. Di din kasi kami nakakaabot ng 15GB of data transfer.. We are paying for 2Mbps plan pero bihira makaabot ng 1Mbps ang speed namin ??? Mukhang mas ok yung globe dito sa area namin.


Pero kung may LTE coverage sa area niyo, i would suggest smartbro pocket wifi. Mura lang kasi at tested na ng barkada ko..

myBro is SMART not PLDT, please dont confuse the 2, naka PLDT myDSL kami 3 houses splitting 3.5mbps and constant 3.5mbps ang speed tests namin and i DL a lot of stuff including one time that TERA installer na 20gb and i never had any problems

TAMA yung kung may LTE kayo kune meron sa area nyo kasi konti pa lang ang gumagamit kaya hindi pa congested

Ang alam ko sir PLDT na ang humahawak ng mybro ngayon. Kahit sa fb page ng smart e pinapasa na nila ang mga nagrereklamong smart bro subscribers sa PLDT page. Even yung pag manage ng account namen sa smart bro https://my.smart.com.ph ay inilipat na sa http://my.pldthome.com/

nagmerge na sila sir, iisa na humahawak ng smartbro at pldt mydsl - refer to post above.

good to know yan sir, subok mo na na constant talaga yung speedtests, pero anong fraction nung maximum yung actual DL speed mo sir pag let's say DDL using IDM ? eh kung torrent?

sawang sawa na ko sa pitch nila na puro may up-to , one time yung up to 1mbps connection namin nagiisa na ko nakaconnect sa base station di man lang pumalo ng > 300kbps. hindi rin siguro ito maimbestigahan ng NTC , ayaw magbigay ng solid figures eh.

sa broadband products pa lang ata implemented yung cap sir , sa smartbro kasi meron na, kaya po sa DSL na ko nagtitingintingin eh wala pang cap dun. Kung naka myDSL ka naman, no need to worry :D

and yung LTE I don't think is an option for me, wala pa yata dito sa probinsya saka most likely lalagyan din ng cap yan ngayon at nagumpisa na tong FUP >.<
