Manila Broadband

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

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.

I would have to agree with you on that one. PLDT DSL is much better.

which company can give my girlfriend the best landline and broadband internet access. She lives in Caniogan, Pasag City.

A few companies to compare would be greatly appreciated.

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

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?
