Telstra to enter Phiilippines market, to compete with Globe and PLDT.

[chua_riwap]

So wala na Telstra? Tapos ang mga pangarap na 100mbps, no data cap?

[luis_]

result of my speed test

DL speed - 5.33Mbps
UL speed - 0.69 Mbps

bakit ang layo ng difference ng DL at UL? btw, naka wifi ako nun nag speed test. mas mabilis siguro yan if wired.

Normal yan asymmetric ika nga. Para kasing nag type ka yahoo.com ilang bytes lang at napakaliit ng send data mo pero balik sayo whole page na malaking data.

use a wired connection and point your speedtest to the PLDT server (not any other server) in Makati or QC.

so babawiin ba ng PLDT yung mga inupgrade na speeds?

Langhya, kung kelan naka 50mbps ako, ngayon pa ako walang maisip na ma-download.

Called up Globe regarding my wimax's fluctating signal. Aba, nag uupgrade daw to LTE!

Hindi excuse yan. Sabihin mo nagbabayad ka ng tama at mag threat ka na ipapaputol mo na lang linya mo at lilipat ka sa Smart dahil mas maganda service. Sabihin mo rin madami kayong globe wimax user sa area nyo. Effective yan umaabot yan sa managers.

^Theyre upgrading.lots of new channels for disposal. Tip when reporting an outage-get as many incident report numbers.The volume of reported incidents reflects on the weekly performance that triggers corrective action.

Re speedtest on adsl, upload is always capped to 1mb or depending on the clients package where the virtual Lans are pointing. Cir and capping is not new, even frame relays and MPLS caps bandwidth either implemented on layer 2 or 3. If you want no capping, get a DLL clear channel to the ISP router.

Kung wireless internet service ang offer nila. Gaya ng wi tribe. Malamang hindi stable ang connection. Pero kung fiber connection,matulin at walang cap. Kabahan talaga ang globe at pldt.

Putting up either is no small feat. i seriously doubt if the duopoly will allow Telstra to piggyback on their infra, in spite of the supposed deregulation here. It requires significant investment, billions of pesos...and that's the easy part. i'm sure there are a ton of permits, regulations, etc that they need to comply with -- that's the hard part. And all the while the duopoly will not make things easy for them.

Then, if by some miracle they do put up their infra. the duopoly can easily start a price war and price them out of the market.


RSA and Telstra are not stupid, they know all this...so either they have a deck of trump cards up their sleeves, or ....

But Telstra has San Mig as a local partner IF this pushes through. This counts for something, right?

[chronicle]

SMB has eastern and wimax. Telstra is really big, even bigger than pldt. In terms of equipment, Telstra has loads of it.

Regarding infra, unless smb starts buying lots in the metro, i dont think they can compete.

The permits for outside plant are the real pita. I dont think Telstra has any idea how awful it is.

In AU, Telstra has the infra. They own it, and resell lease them for profit.

the biggest asset telstra can bring with their partnership with san miguel is their huge experience in the telecoms industry

if action speaks louder than word, watch PLDTs action for any credence about this merger

Putting a lot of money and not having any management control over it is a common problem why there is little direct foreign investment in the oligarch economy of the PH.

Telstra drops Philippines joint venture plan
REBECCA THURLOWDOW JONESMARCH 14, 2016 9:46AM



Telstra and San Miguel have abandoned talks over a wireless joint venture in the Philippines, but vowed to continue pursuing growth opportunities in Asia.

Australia’s biggest phone and internet provider, which announced the talks in August, was looking to invest up to $US1 billion in the proposed wireless joint venture in the Philippines, which has one of the lowest mobile network speeds in the world.

However Telstra chief executive Andrew Penn said the companies were unable to reach commercial arrangements on a possible equity investment in the venture.

“While this opportunity is strategically attractive, and we have great respect for San Miguel Corporation and its President Mr (Ramon) Ang, it was obviously crucial that the commercial arrangements achieved the right risk-reward balance for all involved,” Mr Penn said.

Telstra (TLS) has offered to continue technical network design and construction consultancy support to San Miguel.

The Australian telecommunications company had envisaged investing up to $US1 billion in the joint venture.

Telstra would continue to pursue growth opportunities in Asia consistent with its strategy, Mr Penn said.

The telco has boosted investments in Asia over the past 18 months, including the $US697 million acquisition of submarine cable network Pacnet, as its home market dominance comes under pressure from rivals.

“Our investment decisions will be guided by our capital management framework. Investments remain an important part of our future to ensure sustainable growth in earnings and shareholder returns over time,” he added.

Telstra shares closed at $5.16 on Friday, valuing the company at $63.08 billion.
