I note that many postings from actual Meridian users from other bulletin boards say that weather is indeed a factor. Not to mention the hassle of antenna installation on your property.

PLDT MyDSL has now become competitive. At P1,995 per month, you get 512 kbps DSL connection. Libre na ang installation fee, meron pang libreng Lexmark printer!

Kung pa-surf-surf ka lang naman ng mga websites, i think cheaper pa rin ang dial-up (yun nga lang busy ang line mo). But like me downloading songs and movies often, 512 kbps is awesome.

Agree on the dial up solution
Weather becomes a factor if the antenna gets hit by lightning.
I've been using it for almost two months now, 240kbps burstable to 256kbps. So far so good. IMHO, its value for money at 988/mo.
Meridian's hardware is installed within the premises of selected Smart cell sites, tower, transmission and power supply lang ang ginamit nila.

yeah talk about competitive. Im using it right now (512kbps connection) and i can't entirely say that im very satisfied. it keeps on disconnecting. how do i know? all pages keeps on reloading and my YM keeps on logging on-off every 30 seconds! it's crazy! And btw, the free printer isn't entirely true. you have to buy the ink to get the printer so nde den sha free. hahaha
