broadband provider

[liwanag]

peeps, ano ba ang magandang broadband provider for network gaming?im planning to put up a computer shop with 6 to 8 computers.Anong speed kaya ang ideal?Any inputs would be appreciated!

[ghosthunter]

right now... only one is the best choice... PLDT DSL since most of the local online games are connected through them.

... for six to eight pcs... you can get away with 384kbs but ideal would be twice that speed.

thank you po sir, nagsurf po ako sa pldt dsl my residential sila at business package ano po ba ang dapat?

[umzzzzz]

afaik pag residential kasi hanggang 4 pc's lang ang pwede. since 6-8 pc's ka, you should avail the business package. mas mataas din ata ang bandwidth nun.

there is not much difference between residential & business packages except how much you pay per month.

liwanag,
I suggest initially getting the 768kbps (i assume you are getting the residential account) if you plan to have 8 computers and might have plans of adding more computers later.

Actually 768kbps can handle more than 10 computers... expecially if they aren't all downloading at the same time. Remember, some will be surfing the internet, chatting and others will be playing online games.

to add, i think, bayantel is now the best and the fastest dsl provider.
yun nga lang, limited yung areas.

[ILuvDetailing]

ano website ng bayantel?

[erict]

ang broadband connection depende kasi sa location mo kung nagtitipid ka..kasi laging "sharing" yan.

not sure kung may globe dyan ha. kase ung globe broadband namin 8 mbps... ang bilis hehe :cool:

[boybi]

pwede bang magset ng max download speed for each PC? dito kasi sa bahay, 2 PC lang na nakanetwork, pero kung nagdadownload ako, halos hindi na makagamit yung isang PC.

Yes sir, ang tawag po riyan sa feature na iyan ay QoS (Quality of Service).
Yun mga broadband router (tulad ng Linksys) ay mayroon niyan. Pwede per port (RJ45) or per service (http, ftp, bit *******, etc).

Yun setup ko dito, meron guaranteed na bandwidth para sa Skype (for VoIP) na tipong malinaw voice calls maski na meron nag d dl, o nag Bit *******.

Sa mga nagpakabit na ng broadband, pa-confirm naman ng konting tech/lay-out info (at kung ang nalalaman ko e di haka-haka lang):

1. Yong zipdee at destiny (being cable tv providers) ay yong matatabang co-axial cables ang ilalatag papasok sa bahay, tama ba?

E yon MyDsl, skydsl (Bayantel), at globe broadband. May splitter sa labas tapos...

2. ordinary telephone wires na lang ba ang tutulay papaloob ng house?

Tapos ikokonek yong PC LAN card (built-in sa PC namin yong Ali Network Adapter, fast ethernet something) sa modem (libre to di ba).

3. E yong kung saan isasaksak ang modem, tulad lang ba ng ordinary telephone wall jack?

Sa QC, walang globe. Ang bayantel, walang webspace. Ayoko naman ng co-axial kase yong abang namin sa loob ng bahay ay telephone wire at jack na e. So I'm left with PLDT. Sana alang hassle masyado.

4. alin ba mas mabilis o reliable --- cable-based or telephone-based broadband connection?

Medyo nakakainip na ang dial up e. Ang lalaki pa ng mga downloads at updates lalo na ang XP

Salamat.

PS: ay isa na lang, narinig ko rin (ewan ko kung tama) na ang broadband setup e "WI-FI-able" na rin. Ano gadget at san mo kelangan kabit to para maging hot spot ang place mo? hehe...hot spot, parang may illegal na activity e

[BlueBimmer]

meron ata throttling software..or sa router ilimit?

[fukengruven]

BIZ LITE ata package ko sa computer shop ko with 30 units, 1500kbps ang speed, ok naman 5k a month with free PC

[BlueBimmer]
