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

Maybe for selected areas lang? Yung CIR ba tinaasan or same lang? ISPs like to shock you with the maximum/burstable rate, but typically the CIR is quite low

Home DSL plans don't have CIR. That's usually for Business DSL connections only.

And from experience, more than your broadband plan's promised burst rate, it's your location that determines what your usual internet speed will be.

I have a 3 mbps connection, and I get 3 mbps 90% of the time. My girlfriend has the same connection but mostly gets 768 kbps only.

I welcome the US$1B investment to the country. It will produce jobs and contribute to our economy. I also welcome additional players to keep the existing telcos on their toes. I'm a little bit skeptical about the deployment of a wireless infrastructure as a new player in the field. Where will Telstra focus? City-centric where the data/voice traffic is? Or in the outskirts where the growth areas are? Provincial? It will take a couple of years depending on how their deployment will be executed before they get their acts right. Connecting a backbone and deploying wireless point to multi-point infrastructure, creating a billing system, organising technical and customer service, etc, etc will take quite some time. Good luck to Telstra and San Miguel on this new venture.

Every time na tumatawag pldt saken lagi nalang may binebenta. Like nung 99 pesos a month na CCTV camera, or 2000pesos na tablet.

Sana offeran rin ako ng ganyan :D

gnayan din samin. nagulat na nga lang ako. well wala naman mawawala so tingnan natin.
i'm in the office, bukas try ko speedtest. tingnan natin if me pagbabago.

Plan 1299 is 2 mbps + free landline right? So you mean magiging 20 mbps yung internet speed mo? I kinda doubt that. If PLDT is now able to offer that level of broadband speed, dapat all over the news na yan.

kahit ako i doubt it. sabi ko pa nga sa kausap kong CSR, REALLY? hahaha
but there's no harm in saying yes, wala naman additional cost (as they said).
if pldt subscriber kayo, try nyo tawagan if me ganun ngang offer. ewan ko ba ba't ako natawagan agad.

[redix]

Tumawag po samin kanina csr ng pldt nag ooffer sila ng tablet na parang ipad daw itsura and ios. Nung pinatanung ko sa wife ko kung apple ba inooffer nila sabi ng csr hindi daw kamukha lang daw. And pinatanung ko kung ios ba sagot nya android daw, kaya natawa ako bat nya sasabihin na like ios. Ang sabi pa worth 17k daw yung tablet pero they will just charge us for 7k and staggard payment depende sa ibabayad namin monthly. Then ipinatanung ko kung anung brand, and sabi ng csr Wave daw dipa nailailalabas sa market by nextyear pa daw and kitkat daw yung version. Sarap sana murahin ng csr hindi nya alam mga pinagsasabi nya, marsmallow na version ngayon ng android kahit man lang sana lollipop. Nakaka hiblood lang kasi tong ULTERA nila mas mabilis pa yung dial up minsan nag zero speed sa speedmeter. Sobra pa sa tanim bala itong ginagawa nila, tanim bagal for 2 years ka mag suffer sa LTE nila na supposed tobe Long Term Evolution yun pala Long Term suffering. Just sharing po....

Na qualify ka sir maging test subscriber. Titignan nila at pag aaralan usage mo para pag basehan mga iooffer nilang promo sa susunod pero wala namang problema dyan.

Malapit na mawala mga unlimited lahat may cap na. Babagal lang connection mo pag na reach mo yung cap. Fair usage policy nga daw hehe. Ok na yang 50gb cap mataas na yan para sa akin. 500mb lang naman ang x-art at weekly lang ang labas. Nawala pa yify.

Pati dsl magkakaron na ng cap?

[99moves]

yung fibr lite plan 1899 ng PLDT, 20mbps capped at 80gb, pag naubos mo na monthly allowance wala ka na connection unless you purchase a 199 pesos "booster" which will give you another 10gb. this is according to their website.

Busting the Telstra myth, and other matters | The Manila Times Online

Last week, the local tech website Unbox.ph did a good job of legitimate journalism and flushed out the real story, which bears repeating here since the rumor mill is still operating at top speed.

Telstra is not at this point “planning” to enter the Philippine market; we know this, because Unbox.ph writer John Nieves took the radical step of contacting the company’s media relations office and asking them a direct question.
Telstra has not set up a Philippine headquarters near the Mall of Asia (the odd-looking building that prominently displays the company’s name is its call center, jointly operated with Teletech, part of a BPO operation that has been here since 2013); it has not earmarked $1 billion to invest in building a network here (no monetary figures have actually been discussed by the concerned parties).

What has taken place, according to Telstra, is some preliminary discussion about an opportunity that seems promising, but may or may not be feasible. Present circumstances suggest that it will not be; for one thing, Telstra’s apparent choice of partner is a little dubious; SMC has money, but nothing in the way of useful experience in the telecom sector, and a less than impressive recent record when it comes to projects outside its core food and beverage competence (e.g., Philippine Airlines).

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.
