Sky Broadband vs PLDT DSL

Hi Potpot! Thats a pretty fast connection. Are you able to watch twitch streams on source quality? I have a Sky broadband connection and medium is the best I can do.

 

Any recent news on Sky's service? I don't need blazing speed, just reliability. Thinking of signing up for their 8mbs plan.

 

after 2 weeks observing, i think we're ready to let go of PLDT:



a no brainer for us as for the same price,we are only getting 15mbps on pldt. Was able to DL Sierra in under 30mins. happy

 

Are there skybroadband subscribers in ermita-malate area? how's the service for you?

 

I just signed up to Sky Broadband's 50Mbps plan after a horrendous experience with PLDT DSL.

One issue that I noticed with Sky is the slow Apple App Store downloads. I guess they are throttling it.

Anyone here using a VPN with their Sky connection? Does it improve the download speeds?

 

Try changing your DNS to either Open DNS or Google's. That worked for me.

 

Globe Broadband is upgrading their data plans. I have the 7mbps with 70gb data cap + HOOQ + NBA Premium + Spotify on plan 1999. Upgraded mine with 15mbps 150 data cap + HOOQ + Netflix for only 1599. I should've gotten the 50mbps with 300 data cap for only 1899 (which is still cheaper than my previous plan) but not yet available in our place.

 

I'm already using Google's but I haven't tried OpenDNS yet. I'll give it go. Thanks!

 

Hi! Sorry for the very late response, i was out of town. Yes streaming according to my children is very fast. Netflix is awesome. The only problem is appstore. Slow. Cant seem to fix it. Help with this giys!

 

Is there a way to change the dns on the sky router itself?

 

We're here in malate, so far sky is great, except when downloading from appstore

 

Hi! How is your set up because i am having problem downloading from appstore

 

Hi, didn't have to change anything (apart from password on 3rd day). Just connected to existing asus wifi router and we were good. Can't recall but there must be way to change DNS in skycable router.

,

 

i connected the sky router to an apple etreme. but ours is so slow when downloading from appstore and the sierra download keeps stopping

 

have you tried connecting to skycable router thru wifi? same issue?
not an expert here but i find wifi on skycable router faster than wifi thru asus router / even wired! speedtest.net results show same. maybe there's something wrong with my setup as well
anyway, i hope you resolve yours soon. sorry not much of help.

 

Yes, just go on your browser and configure it via your router's Setup dialogue.

 

i already tried and there is no way to change the dns already configured in the sky provided, router, i also called their hotline and confirmed that it can not be changed. downloading from appstore via aebs or via sky router is slow.

 

Was able to change mine. I think all router configuration would allow you to change DNS and other stuff. What's the model of your router? That's weird.

 

Are there plans of Sky broadband on fiber connection?

 

here are pics of my router. i dont know what model it is.
thanks for the help.
