Finally, after having to wait for quite awhile trying to have SKYBROADBAND back at home, I am now enjoying real broadband! Thanks to SKYBROADBAND! Now, I have a reliable and fast internet for home and work use less the hassle of being disconnected every hour as what I have experienced with GLOBE BROADBAND for years!
I have still retained my 2Mbps GLOBE BROADBAND but only for my WIFI connection at home just to keep our mobile phones and laptops connected. Besides, I have to use it just to put worth on the money I have been paying for the past 5 years with GLOBE. It is also useful and wise to have a backup connection especially for a person like me. Who knows that I may have the same issues with SKYBROADBAND someday!
My work requires that I have a round-the-clock connectivity both mobile via phone and via web. When not in foreign business trips, I am working from home collaborating with my colleagues all the way from Europe, America and Asia. Thus, it is vital that I have a very good internet subscription. It’s a must!
So far, I have been monitoring my speed hourly just to ensure that the promised of 12Mbps bandwidth is delivered. I was not impressed last night as I was just having 7-8Mbps but I was happy this morning to have 17Mbps via SPEEDTEST.NET which is fast for Manila yet not that fast compared to South Korea’s 30Mbps average rate!
I have to work for now. I have no more reason not to join video conferences since I have a faster connectivity now. I just need to make sure that I stay focused and be not tempted to video streams or downloads. With such speed, it’s hard not to be hooked onto downloading cool stuffs online. Hehehe. Thanks to SKYBROADBAND!

You must be kidding or very lucky. Sky doesn’t come close to delivering the advertised speed. Speedtest.net is only a simulation and does not reflect real download speeds. a 6mbps means “6 mega bits per SECOND. Good luck trying to download a 3mbps file in 3 seconds. Its false advertising and they get away with it because they know as bad as it is, it’s better than Globe and PLDT and there is no Consumer Protection Agency in the PI. They would never get away with this in Japan or Europe.
