Your internet connection speed

[BratPAQ]

Natatawa lang ako sa mga nagko comment na ang mahal daw ng cignal connect, yung satellite internet ng cignal. Ang mahal daw, 3.3k for 10gb of data. Mag DITO na lang daw sila mas mura. [emoji23]

I can certainly understand that really remote locations require satellite internet. Places where even mobile phones don't work.

But the writing's on the wall. Once Starlink turns on their service here in the PH within the year... and at a lower initial cost and monthly fee to boot, sino kaya pupulutin sa kangkungan?

I would assume cignal would lower their price to be competitive.

Mahal starlink, not sure if they will offer it at lower price once they gained 10%+ market share in PH.

At 5k/month ng starlink, parang kuntento na ako sa PLDT plan ko na 1699 since city limits lang naman.
Cgro this is useful if you are going to travel to a remote places, or it may appeal to those that will usually camp out.

Also, I didn't know na may cignal internet using satellite. That would be a welcome addition dito sa PH and a much cheaper than starlink.

Also, hindi pa masyadong wide coverage ni dito.
I recently bought dito sim for my dual sim iphone.
I was tempted from their 99/month 7GB data, 300 mins call to other network.
Pero hirap makasagap ng signal on some places especially if you are inside the building.
Wala ding 5G sa iphone, not sure if makakuha ng 5G signal android users.
Globe 5G is OK in my area.

Imbis na makatipid, napa load tuloy sa primary globe sim prepaid ko ng Php213 which is 5GB, 500 mins globe to globe calls for 30 days. if maubos 5GB before mag one month, top-upan ko lang ng 5Gb using Go50.

Tipid sana dito if wide coverage signal niya.

Maybe. Time will tell.

Where is the 5k/month? This is from their website when I entered my PH address. Granted it's just an estimate.

Also, I think their monthly bandwidth quota is 1TB.



Again, satellite internet is not for everyone. If you have an off-grid hacienda in the mountains, this is probably your only option for connectivity.

They are way, way more advanced than you think. They've been using satellite tech long before most people here were born.

ang Globe * Home naiwan na sa pansitan..

Yung Globe At Home modem ko din natutulog na lang sa cabinet.
Tamang GOMO SIM na lang ang alternate connection ko kapag lumalabas or may problema sa local internet.
So far I have one for my dual-SIM phone and another for my tablet at home.


Update on my current Converge Plan 1500. Originally 25Mbps when I got it last Nov. 2020.

Same here. Using it as WAN Failover. When my primary ISP (PLDT Fibr) goes down, the router automatically shifts to the backup modem.

Difference is, I was able to unlock/de-brand the modem and so I have the versatility to use non-Globe/GOMO SIMs like DITO if I have to.

I'm on the same converge 1500 plan but nowhere near these speeds. How come ang bilis nito if you don't mind me asking...
