*Horsepower: yes sir! If I remember correctly, I managed to download a ~500 MB file (it's a VM appliance from a partner's site) in about 7 minutes, despite the server on the other end having some cap on their bandwidth (FF is showing around 1.2 to 1.3 MB download only).

No problem with his line. Check out his next post the ping is down to just 28ms. The reason why the ping is very high when pinging the Manila speedtest server from a PLDT connection is politics. Manila speedtest server is operated by BTI Philippines.

Our ISPs kasi instead of promoting inter-operability, walang connection to each other. So if you're a PLDT user wanting to connect to a BTI connected server or PC, say for some gaming action your traffic is routed all the way out to singapore, taiwan, japan or australia before coming back. Very funny if you have a neighbor on a different ISP and try a traceroute to each other.

Oh yup, I thought he was at PLDT's server (Makati) pero Manila pala. I stand corrected.

Technically it doesn't...internet speed really depends on the bandwidth/speed subscription that you have. For DSL subscription, when you subscribe to 1.3Mb it doesn't mean you really get 1.3Mb but instead you have a bursting of 1.3Mbps.meaning your internet speed can go as high as 1.3mbps but your not getting 1.3mbps in reality...
