I also live in your area, and I’m researching on what broadband plan to get. Is your connection still good until now?

pre di ka ba nagkakaproblema sa megaupload? ambagal kasi ng megaupload downloads ko pero sa rapidshare, depositfiles, hotfiles, mediafire etc… walang problema at max speed download pa… megaupload lang tlga ang mabagal di ko alam kung bakit.

sa games like online or garena ok lang ako at sa torrent walang problema…

Ever wondered why they relabeled their service from ZPdee to sky broadband? that’s because they are now getting their signal from bayantel, as opposed to when they were still ZPdee it was from PLDT. I got my connection when they were still ZPdee but since they switched, it has been a living hell for me when it comes to gamin (I play WoW).

NOTE: If Gamer = NO SKY BROADBAND
If not = Yes to sky
(although I have to admit, my torrenting is incredulously faster with sky)

If i were you guys I wold go with Bayantel DSL… their customer service is MORE competent, nicer, their upload speed is at 700kbps or something (at SKY it is around 300 kbps – takes forever to upload)…AND I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THE PROBLEMS WITH BAYANTEL I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH SKY. (i know because I am currently subscribed to both of them)…next week i will do away with SKY and get the new Globe WiMax plan

I am a very unsatisfed SKY Broadband subscriber. Everything was fine the first and second month….NO PROBLEMS. But then I started having trouble. I am only subscribed to their 3 mbps plan. the problems i started to have were slow downloads, after that i started to experience intermittent loss of connection on a nightly basis. To top it all off, I started to experience problems with downloading form sites such as hotfile.com, rapidshare.com and megaupload.com. I just want to clarify that i UNDERSTAND the meanings of static/dynamic IP and that these sites have limits for free users. Whenever I would try to download from one of theses sites, it would always say that I cannot download since I have a parallel download or I have reached the hourly limit – which is funny because I have not downloaded anything in 36 hours. the following is a reply from one of their customer service reps. “As per advised of our Network Administrator, a Static IP address will not
resolve the problem with Rapid Share. It is advisable that users have a
premium account for them to continuously avail of the services of Rapid
Share. This same goes with other file hosting sites such as Mega Upload,
Hot File.
”

I understand what she is trying to say, but again, as a free user I should be able to enjoy downloading until i reach the limit, BUT how do i reach the limit when i have not downloaded anything in 24 hours?

Yeah, don’t get sky broadband for gaming – as the ping rates aren’t too good.

I played guild-wars and had to settle on an “uncrowded” international server.
