basta mga sis wag DIGITEL's ADSL ang kunin nyo. para matuwa kayo sa internet speed nyo.


Digitel ADSL Bida 999 with 512kbps bandwidth vs Smart Bro 384 kbps bandwidth..........

DIGITEL'S ADSL SUCKS!!!

nakakainis!!!

sayang lang pala ang pera kong pambayad.  mabilis lang sa speedtest aabot ka talaga ng 400+ or sometimes 500+ pero mabagal and 0% download sa limewire at flashget. super slow browsing pa.

nakakaloko. ang bilis ng speed pero pag ginamit walang kwenta feeling mo nakadial up ka lang. madalas ako mapuyat dahil sa sobrang bagal nya. d ko magawa ng mabilis ang mga dapat kong gawin. 

maganda lang palang pakinggan na up to 512kbps sila pero sa performance digitel really sucks!!!

consume ko lang yun advance fee ko kahit magbayad pa ko ng early termination fee na P2000 ok lang. ibabalik ko na connection ng Smart Bro ko. kahit up to 384kbps lang sya mas mabilis pa kesa sa digitel. atleast sa area ko ok yun Smart Bro.

They're different as far as I know.

I'm using BayanDSL for 1 1/2 yrs now. Though the internet connection is nowhere near perfect, customer service is sincere in helping you out. However, I've had problems with the slowness of their picking up the phone if I call on their 24hr hotline. Fortunately, when they pick it up (finally after a bunch of redials and rings), the repairmen will surely come within the next 24 hours.

i've heard a rumour na bababaan daw yung speed ng myDestiny Cable Internet .. 

[crybaby05]

digitel dsl kami..
halos everyday may complaint kami..

[closet loser]

the best  parin ang plst mydsl kahit na madalas ma-dc.

haaay, kelan kaya magkakaron ng matinong isp dito sa pinas?

[buzymom]

Currently naka globe kami, sobrang sakit sa ulo.  As in madalas mawalan ng connection. especially this week, hirap.  And it's so hard to get thru their hotline pa.

[willowy22]

we're happy with our smartbro connection. so far wala kami pa nagiging problema sa smartbro. once or twice lang yata kami nawalan ng connection tapos halos 30 minutes lang yata yung walang connection.

for the past month sakit sa ulo ng pldt dsl, after a few minutes nawawalan ng conncetion, I complained na sabi irereset daw nila okay sya for a day tapos ganun na naman nakakainis

[merriam]

nasa pasig/cainta area ako. near sta lu. I'm very very happy with Globelines broadband. 13 months na ako dito. swerte ata ng location ko. Very rare ang disconnection. 2x lang ata nung bagyo, and 1 day lang. tapos pag dating ng bill nagka rebate. hehe.

Yung kapitbahay namin SMart bro. inis na inis. pangit connection lalo na pag may ulan. tapos ilang beses pinaayos kasi tinotopak parati.

[kouji]

i use pldt dsl 999. it has problems, but it usually works thankfully. haven't tried the other companies' products yet though.

[_pink12_]

I'm using PLDT DSL plan 1295. no problems. Okay pa yung customer service, mabilis yung action and pagrepair ng problems. No to Globe Broadband!

[micci]

^bakit naman sis?how about globe visibility,ok ba?

[_pink12_]

laging nadidisconnect tapos minsan, konting ambon lang, putol na agad yung connection. To think na katapat lang namin yung building where there transmitter is located and nasa 3rd floor naman ng house namin yung modem. Pag nagka-problem, you will deal with the scripted lines of their customer service agents pero weeks pa bago pumunta yung technician sa bahay.

[micci]

^ganun ba sis?how about yung sa prepaid,which is better, smart bro or globe visibility?

[pixiedust]

mejo primitive tong question pero could you recommend a cheap but reliable naman na post paid dial up internet service?

for some reason kasi walang service samin ang pldt dsl. hindi pa daw abot ng service nila yung street namin kahit na sa qc lang naman kami. laging sinasabi nila samin na next month daw pwede na samin pero after 1 year, wala pa din. nirerecommend nila magsmart bro nalang kami pero mahina din naman signal dito. so what's the point?

ayaw naman namin ng globe kasi we'll need to get a globe line pa para lang magka dsl. dagdag gastos lang. and mas lalo namang hindi reliable ang signal ng globe samin kaya useless mag globe wireless.

we used to subscribe to tri-isys unlimited post paid dial up pero pinaterminate namin kasi kala nga namin magkaka dsl na kami after one month. so ngayon balak ko magpa kabit nalang muna ulit ng dial up while waiting for pldt's "1 month". ok naman tri-isys. naghahanap lang ako ng ibang options. any recos?

[harlet]

hay, lately ang sakit sa ulo ng bayantel, linggo linggo me problema, hirap pang tumawag sa hotline nila, 15 to 30 minutes nakikinig ka lang ng music nila, parang pinapatulog ka. ako rin, naghahanap ng ibang provider, kaya lang baka mas palpak naman ang makuha ko.

[iloveYUMI]

we're using pldt dsl for almost 5 years.  globelines dito samin, di daw maganda accdg sa mga kapitbahay
