I switched from SmartBro to PLDT MyDSL and I’m much HAPPIER!! :)

    For over a year I suffered from the so called “Number 1 Broadband” internet connection in the Philippines which is SmartBro. Well of course its number 1. How many Internet Sevce Providers offer Broadband here in the country? So let me tell you, it aint much. For everytime there is storm (and there were a lot for the past year) I’d have to put up with the on and off connection of my ISP. But wait, it didn’t even need storms sometimes for it to mess up. There were times that I can only access a few websites. One of those sites were Youtube yet I can’t even load a damn video. And to top it all off, you might want to keep in mind that most of my income comes from the net. So basically, its ruining my livelihood.

    “When why didn’t you call up the company?” you might ask! I did! I even went to them personally to nag about it and the agent told me to call their hotline because to be honest, they can’t answer any of my questions. Why are they working their in the first place??? So Smart was able to call me up and take my questions and viola… They told me that that’s the way it is since the connection is wireless and the weather could have significant effects. DUH?! I knew that! So I concluded that  the only solution is to switch ISPs. So after some asking around, I found out which connection would be good especially in my particular location. It is PLDT’s MyDSL.

    When my 1 year contract with SmartBro ended, I applied for MyDSL and behold as my life became more beautiful!   I no longer have to wait for Youtube to load, now it waits for me to start watching. And my downloads?It goes as high as 180Kbps. That’s the way it’s supposed to be! Well, another lesson learned about which product to acquire. How about you? Which ISP made you happy?
