By the ways know any reputable computer stores in this area?
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?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22427117 Fri, 22 May 2009 09:31:30 EDT Re: Manila Broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22425164 anon : Yes Pasig im in australia and trying to get a total price to connect a home phone and broadband internet, say(256kbps).

Your help would be greatly appreciated. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22425164 Thu, 21 May 2009 21:05:32 EDT Re: Manila Broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22425095 CUBS_FAN : I'm guessing you mean Pasig. If you can get PLDT go for it, Pasig is close to Cavite and might be in Globe territory]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22425095 Thu, 21 May 2009 20:52:38 EDT Re: Manila Broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22425079 anon : which company can give my girlfriend the best landline and broadband internet access. She lives in Caniogan, Pasag City.

PLDT DSL is much better. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22381155 Wed, 13 May 2009 05:37:14 EDT Re: Manila Broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22164087 CUBS_FAN : 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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22164087 Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:01:17 EDT Manila Broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21531048 zaldy : 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]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21531048 Fri, 05 Dec 2008 05:25:34 EDT
