Top 10 Dsl Providers

**jalka70** · 11-13-2008, 02:08 AM

Dear Philippins Macusers, best wishes from France !

My wife and me would come in your nice country in a few months, for rent a home for a long period (6 months to 1 entire year), before buy something and install definitively in Philippinas. During this time, I need a VERY GOOD and very stable DSL provider, for be able to continue to work with Europa and France (I'm graphic designer, and teleworker).
I should need a broadband access of the best quality, price is not really important.

Could you establish a TOP 10 of the best providers in your country ?

Thanks in advance for your answers… And see you soon !

PLDT DSL for me is be the best choice.

BayanDSL for me.

Quick Service
Consistent Connection
and if my memory serves me right, they are the first to re-establish connection when the fiber optics cable (in Taiwan i think) were damaged by an earthquake not so long ago.

Perhaps it would be prudent to use two different DSL providers connected to a load-balancing router.

I don't think the Philippines has anywhere near 10 DSL providers.

Cablelink for me. Never had a problem since more than a year ago. When PLDT dsl had slowed down last christmas, mine was running at full speed, hehe. Was able to skype to a lot of friends overseas.

Globe Innove should be on your list of DSL providers to consider seriously.

Advance bienvenue to the Philippines!

Enlighten me on the "load-balancing router" please.

And yes, I'd suggest you get two DSL accounts just to be sure. I use Bayantel DSL. They fix any problems within 24 hours. Unlike the other competitor who could take weeks.

Simple explanation is: One router with two DSL providers (like a cellphone with dual SIM) - if one is down, the other is still up - so your connection is uninterrupted and you don't experience drop-outs. D-Link's DI-LB604 is one example of this router.

Oh. So, there are two ports for the two modems in this particular router model? Thanks.

Been having problems with PLDT and Globe Innove that's why we switched to another provider.

My suggestions would be (in order):
1) Eastern Telecom - Never had any downtime. This is what we use in my former company.
2) Primeworld Digital Systems - Their connection is top notch however they only offer corporate accounts.
3) Bayantel - They're pretty decent. Howewer, they only cover the Quezon City area and some parts of Makati.
5) Bell Telecommunications - Stable connection. Customer support is very helpful.
