Broadband Internet, at Last!

Finally we have broadband internet connection at home. And that’s after more than a year of waiting for the installation of PLDT DSL to take place. For five years I am using dial up connection. I’ve tried almost all internet cards available at the store nearby. I could only experience high speed internet if I would rent outside.
When tested at Speedtest.net on the day it was installed, the speed was 477kbps. When I checked it a while ago, it’s 455kbps. Not bad when I am used to 56kbps, haha!
By the way, I am using the PLDT Phone + DSL Bundle Plan. For now I am enjoying every bit of this ‘experience’ as I can visit more sites, especially those that requires high speed connections.

Fren,
Yang combo plan ng pldt eh hindi available dito sa barangay namin dahil kulang ang ports nila. sayang nga dahil yan ang gusto ko. kung separate plans kasi ng phone at DSL eh mahal. mas mainam yang combo na nakuha mo. I hope maging availabale na rin sa min. I’m still using smartbro na ubod ng bagal kung minsan kaya tinatamad akong mag-online dahil kainis lang sya pag ginamit mo.

Glenn, this time mas marami na akong mabibisitang site, haha! tagal ko rin hinintay to eh!
Jessie, Yan di ang sinabi nila last year, di pa available dito sa amin yung para bundle plan, ang in-offer nga nila sa akin ay yung hiwalay na DSL plan o yung Smart Bro, eh ayoko naman kasi mas mahal, haha. Buti sna kung 24/7 ako naka online para sulit.
Laarni, Na try ko na rin yung sa pldt speed test. Pero yung nag install ng DSL, yung sa speedtest.net kc ginamit nya, kaya nakigaya na ako, haha.

Ahehee, Amor, tin-ry ko internet speed ko, umabot sa 967 kbps, totoo kaya to? Sabagay kapag broadband mabilis talaga ano.
Sa Davao ang gamit gamit ng isa kong kapatid ay pldtDSL yun bang 900+ ang mo. So far, wala namang problema. Yung isa kong kapatid ay Smartbro, wala ring probs. Pero mahina ang dating sa webcam. Bago ba yang jumbo, friend?

wow saludo ako sayo kasi kahit pala nung dial up ka pa lang talagang nagtyatyaga ka pumasok sa blog ko na 48 years bago magload. I didn’t know that.
anyway mageenjoy ka talaga pag dsl kana kasi ang laki ng pagkakaiba, tapos wala pang limit ng oras. before when |I was using dial up I was disconnecting pag nageemail ako then connect na lang pag isesend na hehe.
Happy monday po.

@Marlene, actually last year pa itong PLDT Phone + DSL Bundle Plan. Ngayon nga lang nagka roon ng line sa area namin, pero marami na akong nabasang blog before na may dsl bundle sila. In fairness friend ang bilis naman ng internet speed mo, kalokah. Ewan ko kung meron ditong nakaka-abot sa ganyan. haha.
@Pusa, okay nga ang promo sis, kya heto nag eenjoy sa experience ng broadband. Sana hindi magka problema.
@Bluep, pinagtatyagaan ko talaga kasi napaka informative naman ng blog mo, pero ngayon di ko na kailangan mag hintay ng matagal diba.

In India one company Bharti Airtel Ltd is fooling around people by selling 128 KBPS line as broadband connections. later they cheat people by even not giving this speed too. But we are habitual of all these things. People do cheat in india using wrong mean in advertising and viral marketing and lots of people enjoy being fooled by others.

Fren,
At this time I shifted from smartbro to Digitel DSL. It was a terrible mistake! Digitel DSL sucks big time. Naku, putol-putol ang connection ko fren kanya nawawalan ako nang ganang mag-online. I thought they would change (the speed and reliability of my internet connection) but they have only gotten worse for the past two weeks now.

Ako nmn so far eh wala pang problem sa PLDT DSL. Maliban sa bill na ginulat ako sa laki, dahil sa cost of equipment daw. Hopefully next month eh mas mababa na, compared ngayon.

Fren,
Naku, up to now problematic ako. Pag nagka-PLDT DSL dito sa area namin tlgang lilipat ako.
