It's not a site problem... I'm talking about slowness in all aspects...(Browsing, Bittorrent etc) Any pldt subscribers here? I've tried multiple bandwidth testing websites... i only get 80kbps. Using PLDT's 768kbps plan.

pila diay gi expect nimo? sakto ra bitaw sad na sa imo gikuha na plan...(upto 768 kilobits / upto 96 kilobytes) pero wala jud sad ayo ang pldt oi....kinsa globe dire? unsay inyo comments?

I think you confuse kbps with KB/s. I signed up for 768kbps (kilobits per second) I only got 80kbps (kilobits per second) Thats around 10KB/s (Kilobytes / second).

I just talked to pldt tech sa phone. They said naa daw problema sa ilang network. No ETR for the problem.

based on my experience with their tech support.. "naa sa manila ang problem" <-- taga tawag nako sa pldt mao ila tubag nako.. kung dili sila ka tubag nako...

naa sad panahon nga ang problema naa sa manila, basin ang ilang servers did2 lang gi centalized sa manila, ang naa dire sa cebu kay DSLAM lang ang naa dire

daghan man possibilities nga mag down cla, it could be their servers or.....the worst case...ilang backbone mag down (fiber or microwave) which is dili lang DSL mag down kundi tanan services like lease lines ect.

Ni improve na gamay akong speeds sa DSL today.. got a speed of 480kbps... still slow for my 768kbps plan.

diri jud sa ako cafe.... kai 6 days na wla DSL 3 times a day ko cge tawag sa ila hotline cge lang saad...way ayo

That's really bad bai..to think nga critical gud na to ur business.. maypa ayaw bayri ang next nimo nga bill.. and tell pldt nga u will be charging them for lost revenue because of their downtime.

I'm really thinking about switching to globe... give pldt an ultimatum na if they dont fix it by this date.. will not pay my bills with them anymore.. if they wanna sue me for non payment. then we'll go to court.. sila man ang mas ma daot kay ppl will know how lousy their dsl is.

if they sue you just let me know kay I will sue them too! makalagot ning PLDT DSL. I was using their service before, sus makalagot ang @@@@.

In my ICafe, we subscribed to PLDT(700+ kbps) and it found out that their services is not good. We also experienced slow connection and sometimes disconnected, even their hotline customer reps could not give an exact answer.

While in Globe broadband, at 384kbps I experienced no downtime in their connections and their 171 hotline is quite good, it really answers all your connections problem. One thing bad in Globe is their billing system. Even though I paid my bill, they still temporarily disconnect my subscriptions.

We do subscribed Bayantel at 1gbps in our school in Mandaue where I used to teach programming. So far so good, we never experience downtime with them until now. I think they've learned from previous experiences.

These are all my experiences with the above ISP and there is no biases in my statement.
