A reader asked “ano ba ang mas pinakamura at may pinakamalakas na speed? smart ba or globe!

This will depend on which plan are you subscribing to, and of course, to which ISP you are dealing with:

4. Wired Globe Broadband Plan 3.0 Mbps Data Only – You get a download speed of up to 3.0 Mbps for PhP 1,995.00 monthly.

Check the Globelines website for more details.

For Smart Bro Plans:
1. The New Plan 799 will give you up to 384 kbps speed, with 40 internet hours free. You will be charged PhP 10.00 per block of 30 minutes in excess of 40 hours.

2. Plan 999 will give you up to 384 kbps speed with unlimited internet access for monthly of PhP 999.00.

For PLDT MyDSL Plans:
1. Xperience Plan. You get up to 1.0 Mbps speed for a monthly service fee of PhP 999.00.
2. Xcite Plan. You get up to up to 2.0 Mbps speed for PhP 1,995 per month.
3. Xcel Plan. You get up to 3.0 Mbps speed for PhP 3,000 per month.

I have tried two of these three. My first subscription was on Smart Bro and I have tried their service for a year. However, I was getting crappy and sluggish internet connection most of the time so after I have finished the lock-in period of 1 year, I switched to PLDT MyDSL. Until now, we are using PLDT MyDSL at home, and so far their service is satisfactory.
