Ganyan ba sa Ortigas? Ok naman po dito sa Makati although pag may bagyo, minsan hazy yung cable tv namin.

Php499 for the first two months then Php999 per month. There is no lock-in period but you have to pay Php2k deposit for the modem for 8 months. After that, pwede i-apply sa payment yung deposit.

alin kaya papakabit ko ngayon?

Depende po sa inyo sir. In our area, we were one of the first to use PLDT MyDSL here. Ok naman nung una. Naka-problema lang sila sa kin na di nila ma-resolve so I switched to Destiny.

Check ko lang speed ko ngayon and this is what I got:

Speed Meter

Your current bandwidth reading is

Maybe their uplink then was satellite. When were you a Destiny subscriber? Or it could be due to where you're located.

I don't think that's the cause. When they say "fiber", it's not fiber all the way from their central office to your home. Same as with cable.

we have destiny here at the office for the past 2 years. basically, hit-and-miss sya. from time to time, we have the occasional cut-offs and I've got all kinds of excuses from tech support. ended up getting the cell of the repair guy for a direct call instead.

anyway, mabilis siya kung sa mabilis. download all day baby..

sa house naman, we had destiny for the past 4 years ata. no complaints with the connection too. kahit umuulan.

pero eto lang ang con na nakikita ko: tech support is hard to contact. as in tsambahan kung may sasagot. and who the hell came up with their 24-hour tech support kuno? pag dating pa lang ng 5pm wala na. hehehe

Bossing, san po location ng office and house mo? Makati po yung house ko.

i've been a user for more than a year. mandaluyong area. generally ok. but at certain times, i'd have no internet for days on end. 3 days, 5 days etc. tapos, they'll tell me that they can only get their technical people to come to my area on wednesdays and saturdays. and i have to wait until those days.

Eto ang pinakamabilis ko sa Destiny..

exactly my problem with them for past number of years.

anyway, just to reiterate sa iba, mabilis-kung sa mabilis ang connection pero tech support sucks. they can only come on either Tuesday or Friday sa 'min.

so when sira yung connection sa Office dumating na sila on the 2nd Friday pa. all in all, almost 2 weeks kami walang Internet. in the past, I tried to ask for a rebate but I've been unsuccessful on this. will try to avail for a rebate again. baka ngayon makuha ko na.

maganda yung location natin bro kasi lapit lang office ng destiny eh... and knowing na cable internet itop.. hindi lahat ito ang usual na pinapakabit kasi more on DSL phoneline ang alam nila...

hiwalay ang bayad mo monthly sa cable and internet di ba?! so abutin ng 1500 ang monthly. 500 sa cable tapos 1k sa internet..

Sabi dun sa isang blog tungkol sa Desitny Internet, pwede ka bumili ng splitter at split mo yung cable into your modem and TV..

Never tried it yet though..
