PLDT myDSL Subscribers: is your connection OK?

[ts1n1ta]

hayyy still battling with the discon problem. still waiting for a technician to change the modem...and yet dumating ang bill namen for two months pa!. so disappointing...

[alwayz_yummy]

siguro after ng contract period ko, baka di na ako babalik sa pldt....ok sa bayan tel, ang di ginawa ng pldt ay un "costumer survey."and bayantel did this siguro to know costumer's feedbacks....80-90% constant ang speed...

nga pala sir bleed, ok nga ang cable, pero pag pagabi na, nadidisconect kasi sa dami ng viewers ng cable tv, di na naaacomidate ang internet connection.

iba din ang pag-log-in sa bayantel...diba sa plst PPPoE log-in, sa bayan tel ko, independent sa phone line ang DSL plus it is static-IP log-in...

i think kaya mas-stable ang bayantel,kasi may dedicated IP ka na agad....

nga pala, speaking of bill...ung modem i forgot about it!...hay, seems pldt dsl namin magagamit pa for the next months..\

static IP ng bayantel? sa PLDT higher plans (corporate yata) pa meron static IP.

[Ungas]

Small Biz Lite 512kbps 2 dynamic or 1 static IP P4,000/month.
Small Biz DSL, Jr. 768kbps 5 static IP P8,000/month

[alwayz_yummy]

sir ungas, small biz lite kami noon.. pero PPPoE ang connection..

kaya nga me nagpalit, 4000+10%vat=4,400 ung dsl palang, plus pa ung almost 800 na line rental....add pa ung paminsang operator-long distance(walang direct dial phone namin)

kaya ko naconsider ito kasi, 2999(vat inclusive) only,*512kbps also..up to 10 PCs

i gambled,e...ok lang sabi ko kung puro disconect din, at least 3000 lang babayaran ko instead na 4400...somewhat practicality,e....wala nga lang akong bayantel phone...kasi wala nang slots na malapit,e....waiting list ako sa phone....pero ok lang...

Di ba frequent disconnections din inaabot? Nabasa ko sa TPC forums merong Bayantel DSL customers dc din daw lagi. At the same time pwede nga mag avail ng DSL service even without Bayantel landlines.

Unless you're hosting something over the Internet for a long period of time, a static IP is unnecessary. It just makes your comp more vulnerable to hacking/DDoS attempts.

Anyway, I'm using Globelines Broadband at home. The speed is okay - 45KB/s downloading on BT. It has a really weird quirk though... I upload at 70KB/s (and all BT/Gnutella leechers love me). I've had only two brief disconnections before. However I don't like the suckyass Speedtouch USB modem (which, according to the contract, you can't change). In my dad's office he still needs to go to the Globequest "dashboard" to "activate" Internet acces (which is lame), fortunately I don't need to do this at home.

P997.50/mo unlimited for two years, 384kbps download advertised (48KB/s... so my download speeds are just right).

i am using Small Biz DSL Jr. and hindi naman ako nagkakaproblema sa disconnections. lagi akong nakakakuha ng above 800kbps sa bandwidth test ng pldtplay.com. the public switch is less than 2kms away, btw.

[odell]

bigla bigla bumabagal un connection.. minsan ok minsan hinde.. bakit kaya ganun..

[Ungas]

Sabi ng PLDT source natin kagulo daw ng DSL tech people. Daming upgrades ginagawa araw-araw. Kaya minsan nakaka tsamba kayo ng mabilis at kadalasan disconnection. Kung mapapansin nyo yung IP nyo nagbabago, imbes na 210.213.*.* nagiging 57.68.*.* naranasan ko ito last nite, biglang umabot ng 3Mbps download ko kagabi. Nung mabalik sa dating 210.213.*.* nabalik din sa dati yung connection and frequent disconnects.
