Feedback Re:Destiny Cable Internet

Any current users? How's the service? Actually, dapat gagawin ko na 'tong thread na 'to last week pa before I get Destiny's service but thanks to PLDT MyDSL, I cannot connect to the internet! :fire:

Anyways, I got the service na. Hindi naman noticable yung difference sa speed during peak hours pero pag patak ng 11pm onwards 1+Mbps na ako! Ang bilis! hehehe!

DSL ka na lang bro. Cousin ko sa Taft sila nagpakabit, mabilis daw kaso minsan pag walang signal buong araw walang internet hehehe. DSL sigurado, hassle lang talaga if kunwari may ginagawa di ka din maka-connect.

taga sta mesa ako, (pina santol to be exact). Ive been using smartbro for over a year now, and im generally satisfied. Pero nung bago pa lang ang connection ko mabagal, di ako makapanuod sa youtube ng dirediretso. Ngayon kaya na makanuod ng isang buong video without buffering. And its been months since i last had problems with my connection.

with regards to destiny, dito sa area namin our neighbor went months without dsl connection. The destiny people were not able to troubleshoot, they ended up asking destiny to just cancel their subscription. This was back in 2005, not sure if QOS for destiny has improved since then.

I've been on Destiny since 2004. Ang masasabi ko lang, it works for me.

There were some bumps on the road initially and talking with their tech support was never fun, but when it works, it works beatifully. Download speeds are more than adequate, a full episode of my favorite shows takes only 30 minutes on a good day.

Downtimes have been few and far between, I can only recall one major incident where the outage was of the extended nature (3 days walang connection). They experienced a cut line then after a storm, so I didn't deduct pogi points from them on that.

Nawawala kapag umuulan? Never happened to me! Frankly, I can't imagine how/why that would be the case. Kung Smart Bro sana...

My advice to you is to keep it if it makes you happy.

i've used destiny before PLDT mydsl. sabi ko sa'yo, I dread the day na pag-uwi ko eh umuulan sa Ortigas Center. siguradung mabagal o kaya wala na.

maybe it has something to do with the Coaxial cable nila, pag nabasa grounded. di tulad ng PLDT, fibre optics
