    Default best internet plan for home use

    hi guys! after 5 years of agonizingly slow internet speed, (we pay p999 and only get something like .32 kb/s download speed) we are finally convinced that we need a new internet provider / plan.

    could you recommend what's a good internet plan for home use? we are really suffering here. =)

    TIA!

    with their shapers/capping, none that I can think of

    that's why i could not let go of my more than 3 year old Globe 3Mbps DOP subscription because by far, it hasn't been affected by that capping

    You are most likely subscribed to the 384 kbps plan, hence the .32 kb/s download speed... Why don't you just upgrade your plan to 1 mbps, around P1,295/month, landline + internet combo.

    That's what i did... Am getting a 110 kb/s or more download speed now. Depends also sa internet traffic.

    thanks! i cant really recall the exact plan that we have because it was my father pa i think who got it.

    i see, that sounds good but what if no landline? i dont think we need it and we had our number for a long time already, so we just want better internet =)

    have you guys heard or tried Sky yet ? i saw they have 10mbs ? is it true?

    Then just upgrade your plan to 1 mbps.

    The 1 mbps plan is around 1600/mo. that's landline(600) + internet(1k) combo.

    Just get smart bro. I am currently on WiMax after 3 years of being on smart bro, and it really sucks. 60kbps is already fast, compared to Smart bro's 200kbps on the average. cheaper too @999 for 2mbps, compared to WiMax's 512kbps at the same 999/mo.
    This happens. This is an anagram.
