Fast Internet Connection

[Dabs]

I think that if you get a 50 mbps plan you will just get 80% of the plan you payed for so if I'm not wrong with my calculation you will just get 40ish mbps after the installation

If I'm only getting 80% of something I paid for, I'm cancelling it.

Yung isang kapatid ko naka 50 mbps. Speedtest shows 50 mbps. Yung isang kilala ko, naka 50 mbps din. Pag speedtest, ganun din.

Ako naka 25 mbps. Pag speedtest umaabot ng 26 mbps. 6 ms ping. hehe.

Okey naman PLDT. Sa akin 5 mbps lang DSL plan, nasa 1750/month.
I don't have any problems with my connection. I'm thinking of downgrading
my plan pa nga to 3mbps 1299/month since sa tingin ko kaya naman. Kahit sabay gumagamit
laptop at desktop, nakamovie yung isa,yung isa youtube/fb/browse/etc plus yung mga phones
pa nagddl animes at lagi connected. Plus you get a landline pa.

Pero kung broadband ang gamit, wala talaga. Smart broadband dati,tsk. Nakaka-kunsumi.

[JonSnow666]

We need a new ISP here in the Philippines other than PLDT. What do you think guys?

Telstra n lng talaga pag asa natin para bumilis naman internet natin dito sa pinas,pero need natin maghintay ng mahigit 5 years para matapos ang pagpapatayo ng mga tower nila.

Diba hindi na tuloy ang telstra dito? Baka binantaan ng mga oligarchs na mga network service provider dito sa pinas. masyadong silang gahaman.

Sa ibang bansa palibre ng palibre ang internet kahit san ka nakalugar samantalang dito sa pinas noon unlimited surfing pero ngayon super limited nalang. kalokohan talaga ng mga pinoy oh!!!

Hmmm. Medyo mahal yan ah, pero siguro kasi the landline is included in the price. Hindi na ako gumagamit ng landline since meron ako cell phone, at si mrs. meron din cell phone.

Kung meron ka PLDT DSL, meron P999 for 5 mbps. P1299 is for 10 mbps.
Kung meron ka PLDT Fibr, meron P1899 for 50 mbps (50 GB usage/bandwidth) or P2899 for unlimited.
Kung Globe Broadband, meron P1299 for 10 mbps (100 GB) and P1599 for 20 mbps (150 GB). I would probably go for the P2499 for 100 mbps (1 TB) personally, if I were to try Globe.

I had their DSL service before for 5 mbps, wala naman masyadong problema, medyo spoiled lang ako sa faster speeds ngayon.

Yung dalawang anak ko, kumakain ng about 50 GB per month each, tablet lang gamit nila, youtube buong araw (with time limits), tapos ako na mismo nag set ng "low quality" para less bandwidth gamitin, pero minsan nagiging 720p o 1080p parin. Hindi naman sila nagrereklamo.

Ako, na meron laptop and server, ayun ... pero ni schedule ko naman ang big downloads sa gabi, starting from 3AM to 7AM. Pag nakita ako gusto ko download, queue ko lang, the next day tapos na download unless it's a 50 GB game (tapos delete ko lang pag panget.)


Hindi mo ma enjoy ang live streaming ng 1080p o 4k kung speed mo slower than 5 mbps. Tapos meron ka nikiki share pa. So dapat 10 mbps minimum target mo. Opinyon lang. Nabubuhay naman ako ng WALANG internet pag nasa labas. Cellphone is 4g speeds only ... pang email email only. Unless meron free wifi.

Try niyo din yung iba yung hdi masyado kilala. Sa amin cable + 5mbps Internet+WiFi for 1.5kphp

[bhadz]

Try niyo din yung iba yung hdi masyado kilala. Sa amin cable + 5mbps Internet+WiFi for 1.5kphp

Anong klaseng internet connection ito chief or anong service provider ito? Kasi dito sa amin telepono + 3mbps + wifi tapos unstable yung billing ko montlhy minsan 1,100 - 1,300 pesos siya pero sa speed nya wala akong masabi talagang sobrang okay na okay dahil laptop lang naman gamit ko kaya sulit na sulit ang investment sa bayan internet connection.

Boss Dabs,

Regarding sa PLDT Fibr Unlimited, wireless ba yung modem nun? o nakadirect sa linya(cable) ng PLDT?, balak sana namin mag avail kaso ang problema malayo yung dulo ng cable ng PLDT dito samin.

Pano ba yung technical details neto at ano ibig sabihin nung bridge/route? ano difference nila?

mahal naman nian pre. .globe ka nlng pre 15mbs 1599 meron ka pang libreng chrome cast at netflix. pero anyway advise ko kung gamer ka go for globe ayos na ayos ping nila.

We need a new ISP here in the Philippines other than PLDT. What do you think guys?

Well of course.

There's already been discussions about that, hopefully a new player will enter the market soon

Well, if you're talking about the Telstra project here in the Philippines it is already been rejected by the ISP here in the Philippines. They didn't agree to have Telstra here in our country because they know that if they did it will be their great rival when it comes to internet connection. They know it for themselves that Telstra has more faster internet connection than what they have, that's why they've rejected it. They just want to own the whole country for their slow internet connection, their UNLI promos is just a lie. If you're gonna register to the one of their UNLI promos and you've been using a lot of data's which is natural since you have unlimited data but the thing is they will going to limit it. It ridiculous right?, I think it's better if they will just gonna change those UNLISURF promos that they have. It's a LIE.

Nope, not referring to Telstra as I already know their operations are not going to pursue.

What I'm saying is since this issue has got the ball rolling, I'm hoping a new and better ISP can truly and finally serve in our country.

Yes, they limit it to what they call fair use - when you've reached significant data usage already, they will somewhat 'limit your connection' to give way for others to use the data.

Being too saturated is one factor here.

Boss Dabs,

Regarding sa PLDT Fibr Unlimited, wireless ba yung modem nun? o nakadirect sa linya(cable) ng PLDT?, balak sana namin mag avail kaso ang problema malayo yung dulo ng cable ng PLDT dito samin.

Pano ba yung technical details neto at ano ibig sabihin nung bridge/route? ano difference nila?

Ang wireless is the Ultera. Wag na wag mo kunin yon unless you have no choice. They will put a canopy type antenna on your roof, like Smart Bro (same company naman sila.)

Route is when your DSL modem is also the router, assigns DHCP addresses, acts as a basic firewall, etc. Good enough for most people.

Bridge is a mode where the modem is just the modem. You connect a wire or ethernet cable directly to your PC (which you need to configure) or to another router. A little bit more advanced, but usually better if you know how to set it up. You can use a third party router / wifi access point such as Netgear or Asus. Or in my case Ubiquity (Edge Router and UAP-AC-Lite).

Actually, yung sa aken na modem is just a DSL modem that works with my service. I upgraded the firmware and turn off the built-in wifi, then I connected it to a switch. From the switch I connected an access point and put it on the wall near the ceiling. I was going to put the modem in bridge mode, pero hindi ko naman kailangan so I left it as is.

The built in ones from both globe and pldt, they're cheap and they suck. I would not use any built in wifi from those.

Boss Dabs

PLDT rin ba gamit mo? Kc naginquire aq sa knila last year I think,kung pwedeng dry loop(DSL w/o landline) pero sabi nila di raw pwede. Anong service provider gamit mo?
Gusto q rin ipa-cut landline sana and keep the DSL.

Yung plan 1299 nila comes with a landline pero 3mbps lng yun.
At yung plan 999 nila 5mbps pero hindi pa ksama dyan yung bill ng landline kaya magiging 1740 yan. Grabe nga eh.

Kaya I'm trying to look for other options sana.

mahal naman nian pre. .globe ka nlng pre 15mbs 1599 meron ka pang libreng chrome cast at netflix. pero anyway advise ko kung gamer ka go for globe ayos na ayos ping nila.

Yung globe, broadband ba yan pre? Ok sana kaso ang broadband kc depende sa lugar, mahirap sumagap signal.

[Dabs]

I just looked at their websites yesterday. Naka Globe ako dati, and na try ko na rin PLDT. Yung dalawang kapatid ko naka Globe and PLDT sa bahay nila. Wala ako sa area nila kaya iba gamit ko.

[BossMacko]

We need a new ISP here in the Philippines other than PLDT. What do you think guys?

Isa to sa mga aayusin ni pangulo naten. Sobrang bagal ng internet ng pilipinas dahil pineperahan lang tayo kung tutuusin ung binabayad naten monthly sa internet connection naten sa ibang bansa sobrang bilis na . Pero dahil wala tayo magagawa ngayon ang pinaka mabilis na internet connection na pwede naten iavail is PLDT , The more MBPS you avail the higher the price nga lang.

PLDT Fibr, meron P1899 for 50 mbps (50 GB usage/bandwidth) or P2899 for unlimited.

Mabagal pa ba yan for you? Considering the price. The usual price dati kasi was P999 for 1, 3, and 5 mbps. That was about 5 to 10 to 15 years ago. At least magkalaban ang PLDT at Globe. Yung mga cable companies din like Sky and Destiny, or depende sa location mo.

agree ako sayo sir dabs unlike dati tlga sobrang bagal para sakin okey na ung gntong speed na upgrade nila. .mga pang business type na ang 50mbs and up murang mura na un mreon dito sa baguio mga shop mostly naka 100mbs na sila.

[npredtorch]

Sana tanggalin ang mga capping/throttling at kung ano ano pang rules sa pag papabagal ng internet. Hirap kasi nung may limit ka na mga 50gb per month etc. Hindi tuloy mkpag download ng mga hd games tulad ng mga assassins creed na aabot sa 10gb. Pagnaabot na yung limit back to 256 kbps nalang

So this means the PLDT Fibr isn't wireless and needed to connect directly?

Is there no other way (in my case that we are far from the last line of pldt) to connect internet other than this ultera?

[Skarner21]

Sana tanggalin ang mga capping/throttling at kung ano ano pang rules sa pag papabagal ng internet. Hirap kasi nung may limit ka na mga 50gb per month etc. Hindi tuloy mkpag download ng mga hd games tulad ng mga assassins creed na aabot sa 10gb. Pagnaabot na yung limit back to 256 kbps nalang

Yan nga rin problema ko capping mas maganda parin yung wimax noon... kung may bagong network na lalabas at unlimited bandwidth malamang mag lilipatan ang mga ibang legit users.. basta ako nag istay ako dito sa wimax ko na hanggang ngayun buhay pa ang mga mac ko. since na nahack ng pinsan ko ang mismong database ng contractor sa lugar namin dahil nanunuod sya paano ikinakabit yung wimax namin nuon.
At ngayun hindi nya shineshare sa iba at kami lang hindi parin nawawala ok naman ang speed stable kaysa sa pldt or sky minsan nawawala talaga kung sa globe at smart capping naman ang problema..

Suwerte mo naman may signal pa ng wimax sa lugar nyo. Yung wimax ko namaalam na matapos ang anim na taon naming pagsasama, totally kasi inalis ng Globe yung wimax frequency sa lugar namin kaya ayun. Ok pa naman ang wimax libre walang monthly bills mag snipe ka lang ng mac may connection ka na agad. Hindi tulad ngayon kailangan mo ng mag load ng mag load kung naka prepaid ka.
