I see a few old threads regarding broadband services in Manila thats too old to reply so let me just put my reply here.

For those looking for a decent DSL connection in Manila (Metro Manila) then my suggestions are:

Bayantel - P1,200 Pesos/Monthly 712kbps with land line phone
PLDT - 990 Pesos/Monthly with land line phone

Don't even think going for SmartBro or Globelines, they suck.

PLDT and Bayantel aren't perfect but they're the lesser evils.

I had Bayantel service before and for 2 years I get decent reliable connection with minimal downtime that only last a few hours.

Now I have PLDT (Plan 990 pesos w/ land line) and I get no lower than 10mbps down and 800kbps up connection. I even had a couple of 19mbps connection even though I should only be getting 384kbps connection.

So what I'm trying to say is get a PLDT and you might get lucky too because I know a lot of people with 384kbps plan with 1.5mbps connection. Here's the link to my speedtest -> »www.speedtest.net/result/348392577.png

Re: Manila Broadband

It might depend on how many subscibers are using the same service as you are.

[analogy]
you might be sharing the water pipe with 5 people on Bayantel and sharing the water pipe with 25 people on SmartBro or Globelines..

speaking of Globe:

Then again in Cavite they have to use Globe as their landline which I don't like at all. At the other location in Manila there is PLDT and I find that much better quality.

It's been a couple of years since I was there so knowing any local stores would be hard. The only "reputable" store that comes to mind would be SM. SM Mega Mall in Mandaluyong maybe?
