If you’re looking for ISP comparison in the Philippines, then this post is for you. I’ve been offline for 2 days straight—again—because of Smart Bro’s Super Fast Internet Connection. I can’t blame myself because I’m still using it as my main internet service provider even if I know that it sucks bigtime.
All ISPs in the Philippines are not perfect. They can’t guarantee 100% up-time and all of them have negative reviews. This is one of the many reasons why Filipinos can’t decide which is best and which is the worst. Here are the current commercial internet service providers in the Philippines (excluding Smart Bro): Globelines Broadband, SkyBroadband,Sky Cable’s ZPDee, Sky Internet, DigitelOne DSL, Bayantel DSL, Meridian Telekoms Broadband and PLDT MyDSL.
What I’m trying to do now is to solicit comments from you, my dear readers, of what’s the best Internet Service Provider in the Philippines from your own experience because I’m planning to dump Smart Bro and move to a brand new ISP after suffering internet havoc for 48 hours straight.
Hoping to hear from you guys…
UPDATE 07/27/09: Here is the top 10 list of Internet Service Providers in the Philippines according to SpeedTest.net. I can only name two commercial ISPs in the screenshot below: Sky Broadband and Sky Internet (Now BayanDSL). Most of the ISPs in the list are now commercially available. If you’re working in one of the DOST offices in the country, you’re very lucky because you can experience the fastest upload and download speed in the Philippines. Here’s the screenshot of the Top 10 ISPs:

We were using PLDT MyDSL but it sucks :evil: so we switched to Globelines Broadband recently and so far my family is satisfied. :wink:
Hmmmmm.. depende ata sa area. Dito kasi yung Globelines nag loloko.. pero anyway. Globe is still better than Smart Bro. :mrgreen:
i think it also depends on the area.. i'm using smartbro canopy for over a year now and ok naman siya.. 2 times pa lang yata ako tumatawag sa customer care to report a problem. what sucks is the smartbro usb modem... and i heard that smart is going to release a LTE USB modem which will give speeds up to 50 mbps daw.. hmmmmm! thanks mr jehzlau for starting this blog.. it has been my hobby to read the comments here! :)
Mas mabilis po ba talaga anf GLOBE kaysa sa SMART??
How about Yung CAble Internet Providers?
d2 naman mabilis ang smart bro .
bulacan area !
Actually mas mabilis ang cable internet compare sa PLDT MY DSL, GLOBE & Smartbro...Dpende nga lang kung ang facilities ng cable internet ay bago ang gamit nilang divices in their backbone.
trying to be smart huh? ang pldt po ay cable connection ang gamit... wag ka kasi magmarunong kung mali2x naman ang binibigay na info...
haha.. natawa naman ako sa comment ni nana. kung makapagsermon wagas! iba ang cable internet sa dsl internet. cable internet uses the cable infrastructure to provide internet connection while dsl uses the telephone line. kung titingnan mo young modems nila, magkaiba. sky internet is an example of cable broadband while pldt provides dsl.
nana buti na lang engot ka. ang pagkakaintindi nya ata sa cable internet e yung lahat naka cable tama ba? buti na lang nandyan si karole at nakapgexplain dahil kung hindi baka ihampas ko yang cable mo sa kokote mo. :ipit:
tried smart ung my canopy,mejo ok nmn.globe tattoo,mejo mbilis,pro mdls down,pti lndline,nwwlan ng dial tone.now pldt kmi, bundled 1,299 mbgl po.san andres manila loc nmin..:(
Lets try to share experiences instead. I have a plan with Skybroadband internet of P999 for 3mbps, at an average I only get 1mbps and never exceed (wishful thinking). It sucks!!!
yesh... PLDt MYDSL really sucks!.... services is so poor and slow... people at the office are really slow too.... their 171... 172 and 172 cannot really update report status.... information don't match at all.
paano po mabilisan yung connection ng wifi sa pldt
paano po mabilisan yung connection ng wifi sa pldthome?bakit? mahina yung connection dto sa wifi? atsaka po gsto naming po malaman kung bakit merong pa 10gb atibapa
Basicially Smart and PLDT are one company...pag nag down ang isa most like ganun din ang isa which what usually happens here
pwede po bng mgtanung if malkss po ang connection ng smart here sa fairview area litex road...thx po..
@Cesar Noel - pero anong ma rerecommend mo? yung hindi nag dodown.. naiinis na ako sa smart bro.. gusto ko nang lumipat.. :(
kua, ISP never commits na di sila magdodown and sabihin mo eh yung di madalas magdown.. Almost 20% of their service have Plant activities and Plant repair. It depends din sa provider mo yung TRT nila kung nagdown para mamonitor. Walang perpektong ISP, it just the ideal ISP you should choose..
smart bro din ako, nagkaproblema din ako date, 1 week sobrang bagal ng net ko, tumawag lang sa customer support nila, after nun, hindi nako nagkaproblema...
try mo din tumawag, dapat yung tipong galit ka tska naiirita, para sumunod kagad, hehe..ganon ginawa ko date :twisted: ...ayun, okay naman na.
Bayan DSL dito sa cagayan de oro pinakadabest eh..kasi hindi nadadown ang connection..pero ewan ko kung meron ba Bayan DSL dyan sa inyo.. :smile:
I think ok din ang Bayan DSL dito kasi lahat ng cafe na malapit dito naka Bayan DSL eh.. heehee :)
@Ferdielicious - hmmmmmmm... Bayan DSL by Bayan Telecommunications? Sige titingnan ko din yan.. hehehe :D
PLDT DSL and smart bro both sucks. Yan ang gamit namin dati. Una PLDT DSL, masasabi mo talaga toh sa una "Hooo bilis!" pero habang tumatagal, may araw na 12-24 ay nawawala ang connection ng DSL. May prob din ang PLDT DSL kapag IE gamit mo, kasi minsan hindi nagloload kaya kelngan pang irefresh ng irefresh. mabibitin ka lalo na kapag nanonood ka. :twisted:
Take note, may computer shop pa kami nun ha. kaya puro mura sa telepono ang naririnig samen ng mga taga PLDT ampff sila. :shock:
Dahil putik na nalugi kami sa PLDT, tinry namin ang bagong labas na SMART BRO. I think naka 1 year din kami. Smart bro and dial-up are equal in speed WTF. Mabilis pa ang ISP Bonanza. hirap lalo na kapag may bagyo. WALANG SIGNAL!
Sky Cable Zpdee, according to an online friend, minsan, walang connection for an hour. Better than PLDT DSL huh? 12-24 hours no connection.
At habang nagttype ako, ang gamit kong connection ngayon ay DIGITELONE. Satisfied, contented and magaan sa bulsa. Last May lang kami nagpakabit, hindi maiiwasan may downtime, but unlike PLDT, Digitel Downtime only takes a minute!
Yung iba ewan ko, hindi ko pa ntry.
i agree naka digitel din ako...sobrang bilis....sulit na sulit ang binabayad koh....no downtime......2 years na akong naka digitel...hindi pa ako naka tawag sa costumer service ever...
Hi ms. Ada digitelone p din po b gamit nyo naun? san po ung location nyo? mukng mbilis jn ang digitelone.. balak kc nmin mgswitch ng ibang isp..
@ada thay both suck?? this is just a proof of your ignorance... nakadepende po yan sa lugar, bandwith etc... san ka ba kasi nakatira sa bukid?? mag sms ka na lang
@nana
Hey dude watch your language you keep on insulting people on this thread don't you have something to say informative to help other people rather than saying negative things. Its not helping
@Ada - thanks for sharing.. hmmmmmmmmmm... baka mag DigitelOne na din ako.. hintay pa ako ng maraming comments.. sa pag google ko kasi konti lang din reklamo sa DigitelOne... pero baka may mag comment dito na DigitalOne Sucks! hehe.. let's see :)
@jamie - ok.. 1 point for Globliness :D heehee...
@Dyimz - hmmmmmmmm... pero kahit ilang beses ako magalit sa smart bro yun parin.. baka mabait lang talaga ako or manhid yung naka usap ko..
Same here at pasay! Im satified with my connection! It depends cguro kung malakas ang signal sa lugar nyo!
anong connection?
: :twisted: suck digitelOne na bulok ilang buwan akung hindi pinuntahan ng technician ang bagal pa ng net!!!tapos ang reason ng technician nag iisa lang daw sya!!!kasi sya lang ang marunong anu ba yun!!kahit puntahan ko sa office papalitan lang daw ang modem router haysss finally lumipat na ako sa smart bro bwiset lagi naman dc...kaya im planning sa iba wala nabang iba??/?
