We were discussing about broadband connectivities over at Rico’s blog where he’s recommending ETPI’s 5Mbps package for Php35,000 a month. I haven’t tried Eastern Telecoms ever so I cannot attest to their connection uptime and reliability but have heard so many complaints about their residential offerings, dubbed evoDSL.
And while I suggested getting 2 separate DSL providers and using a D-Link Load-Balancing Router to hook them both up, I also discovered PLDT has published newer bandwidth caps for its residential plans.
Same price points but increased bandwidths:
Package Type * Speed * Monthly Service Fee (Pesos)
Xperience * up to 1.0 Mbps * Php999
Xcite * up to 2.0 Mbps * Php 1,995
Xcel * up to 5.0 Mbps * Php 3,000
The operative word being “up to”, read the fine print:
1. DSL type is Asymmetric DSL
2. Gradual rollout in selected areas starting January 1, 2006
3. myDSL-W (Canopy) only includes Plan 999 (384 kbps) and Plan 1995 (768 kbps)
4. Monthly Service Fees are eVAT exclusive (monthly fees with eVAT as follows: Xperience = 1019, Xcite - 2035, Xcel = 3060)
5. email format = “username@pldtdsl.net”
6. Lock-in period is 12 months (without promo)
7. Free installation except for myDSL-W (Canopy)
Gradual roll-out since January 2006? It’s 2007 already! And oh, I remember getting a call from a PLDT customer rep telling me that if I wanted to extend my contract for another yet, they’d waive my 13th month service fee.

How Dirty is Your Cellphones?
Yeah! Cell phones can carry more germs than toilets and may make you sick.
I think im pretty sluggish and definitely primitive in writing. though somehow im able to express myself. but in the way that i know. I have been thinking of expanding my Website. maybe buy my personal domain. but unfortunately i tried tracing beeps.com its already owned by somebody else. so on with the brainstorming "what will be the name of my website?" Im thinking that Abe's website would be my pattern in some sections. Add to that is it really worth it investing in your own personal website? or maybe you simply rely on Free space/domain providers, sample of this blogspot. Is my website really getting some visitors? those are some questions that i need to discover and most likely should base my decision on investing to it.
