Internet in the Philippines

[Michael Parnham]

Sadly I'm making more poor decisions than I would have wished.

On the positive side not expensive decisions.

I signed up with PLDT for there phone and DSL internet.
But to be honest I'm not that impressed with the speed.
Sometimes I can get 2Mbps but mostly it's running at about 0.80 to just over 1 but unpredictable.
I can still watch iPlayer etc but the buffering can become a pain.

A neighbour has mentioned pocket wifi as a back-up especially when there's a brown out.
Incidentally i haven't had a single brown out so far

Fred also mentioned in previous thread about LTE (Long Term Evolution) wifi
Now I've been researching and asking questions and it seems this could be the way to go.

Some of our neighbours have tall poles outside their house with wifi antenna on top. From what I can gather this is connected to 4G router to give fast internet and I think unlimited on a PAYG basis.

It takes time for me to understand all this and as of yet I've no idea on the costs.

Does anyone have any ideas / comments ?

I did try speaking to the sales folks at a couple of SM malls but I really doubt they know what there talking about. Never got the same info on the questions twice

I found Smart Cable was no problem Peter and it solved all my internet and TV requirements at Php1,200 per month approximately. Check it out!
