PLDT always disconnect every 15-30 mins. although they are good for online gaming because of low ping. but if your downloading a huge files, you wont regret skybroadband. the only ISP can offer more than 10mbps. try the 15 day trial and see for your self, you can choose the 12mbps or 24,48 and 112mbps but only for available area.

use a net limiter while testing the speed of your internet, you will see the real download speed.

Ive never used pldt my dsl but I have had sky broadband for over a year, and I can say from experience it is the worst isp I have ever had in my life. For days at a time their service is down and for about 6 months now its been so slow you can barely surf the net. Hell they even sent a notice saying one month is free because they suck so bad. So for anyone reading this DO NOT GO WITH SKY BROADBAND!!!!!! Save yourself alot of trouble and headaches. I dont know what else to choose though not many choices in the Philippines

Good to know! I think location plays a big factor with internet speeds. I’m on PLDT plan 999 and I sometimes go up to 400kbps on good days.

Here at home, we’ve had PLDT myDSL plan 990 for about a month, after having Smart BRO plan 999 for around 3 years. It was the biggest mistake we’ve made. Torrent download speed doesn’t even reach 50 kbps. When we were with Smart, we were downloading torrents at 200 kbps.

I live in Alabang. I want our Smart BRO back.

After reading this, I’m also going to get PLDT myDSL. I have been putting up with Sky Broadband’s crappy service since God knows when and I have had nothing but intermittent disconnections. I also took their 3mbps connection and at night it slows down to a speed akin to that of a dial-up connection. Their speeds are really dependent on the time of day.. very unstable indeed. It also doesn’t help that our school requires us to upload our projects online. I almost didn’t get to pass one of my projects because of their impossible upload speed and unstable connection, but when I rushed to my neighbor who was using a PLDT myDSL 999 my file uploaded smoothly and without any problems.

So yeah, I guess PLDT works in our location but sky doesn’t.. Or I may be an isolated case?

I’d like to disagree. It all depends on location. Right now Im using PLDT myDSL plan 999. Here were my problems:
First Three months of installation – VERY LAGGY. ALMOST NO CONNECTION AT ALL. I COULD ONLY GET CONNECTED IN EARLY MORNINGS.
Now we’ve been connected for almost two years, and mind you after those first three months, the disconnections were still there (Although they were less often, but still often). We only got to maximize our connection (No lag, DC or whatsoever) after about a year of being connected. Now the problem persists again. We’ve tried contacting customer service dozens of time (via local 171 and email) and still they dont take us seriously. Three weeks and counting, PLDT myDSL is SHIT.

So back to your post, probably you have slow connection because your too far away from the server or something…
