regarding eastern dsl... my shop in manila uses eastern dsl. I have been pretty happy with their service since day one of installation. if they have a down time, they even call up to inform the shop of the sked of the downtime. If I need my dsl modem replaced (about twice so far), I got a replacement within one day of calling the help line. Download speeds never below rated speeds, faster even!

But thats for a commercial dsl account. I dunno if they have that level of service for home accounts... a point to ponder.
