Avoid sky broadband!!!

I'm not doing this to promote other ISPs (as well all know, they are all the same - unreliable and crappy). I'd like to warn others who are thinking about getting SkyBroadband. DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT to do so. Why? Here's why:


Proven and tested:





Look at the time. Five minutes has elapsed and the test has not even finished yet.

Server is HKIX server. If you choose a local server, what good will that be? If the connection is working fine, it can reach about 5MBPS if you use a local Philippine server, 2MBPS at an HK server and 40-50 KBPS on a US Server (Comcast FL). Pagka way ayo!

This is a 5MBPS connection at PhP 2,000.00 a month. Asa ang hustisya ani? This happens FREQUENTLY. I've only had this connection for less than a month, and I have called their helpless customer service line more than 4 times already. Mo dako akong bill ani sa ako phone kay wala mi landline.

If the connection is not slow, another frequent problem is that some web-pages DO NOT OPEN at ALL. Not all, but some random ones. I lost my part-time time Home Based job because of this. How can you do data mining if some of the web-pages you need to access do not open?

Movie streaming - POOR. Torrents - POOR. FTP - poor. The only good about this connection is that Youtube is amazingly fast, bisag 720p or 1080p ang quality. So mag Youtube na lang ko ani pirmi kay mao raman ang ok? Kayasa.

Also, it took about more than a week to have the connection installed after the agent collected the Application Forms. Abtik kaayo mo tunga pra mo collect sa form, pero ang pag install hastang dugaya. Gi away na nako kay ngano wa pa. In the end na taod ra. The installer said nga na wala daw ang application form mao na dugay, and they had to re-do it.


As an additional insult, it took me more than 20 minutes to find a photo hosting site that will OPEN just to upload those pictures. Hinay pa sad ang upload and less than 1MB ra ang pics. Grabeha!


I am going to have this disconnected, and I will really fight their Termination Fee. Yes, there is a P2,000.00 TERMINATION FEE. Unbelievable. Sala nako bati ilang service, so ako ipa putol, unya pa bayron pako? Ahaka na. Asa na man and consumer protection ana oi. Paita aning nasud nga gipa dagan ug mga capitalista. Walay say ang mga consumers!


So kung naa pa kay plan mag pa taod ug SKY BROADBAND, pag andam ug daghang TYLENOL ug ADVIL. Ug daghang kwarta!
