PLDT myDSL’s Internet to Sawa TRANSFORMS my Internet experience from Lounging to Speeding

I can compare my daily internet experience to what I used to do in the beach before and what I have done during my last travels. Before, I used to just walk on the beach, swim a little and just lounge at the beach. But during my last vacation in Panglao Isalnd in Bohol and a resort in Batangas, I started getting into water sports and became thrilled with speed.

When I wasn't using PLDT my DSL as internet connection at home, going online was much like just lounging at the beach, swimming around and having as much fun as snorkeling.

The internet experience then wasn't totally zero but it was not as amazing as when I shifted to PLDT myDSL.

When I dropped the subscription to my previous ISP and got the PLDT myDSL plan which included Watchpad, it was all speed since then. And that's a perfect parallel to my Panglao Island and Batangas experiences. It was like experiencing the speed and thrill of water sports.

Riding the jet ski for the second time, but first time to stay on it for a long amount of time, was super exciting and I was glad to let my family experience it with me. I was also as glad that we shifted to PLDT myDSL. Now, me and my family enjoy surfing the internet together. My six-year-old son now enjoys updating his status and commenting on posts of his friends in FB while me and the wife blog, download and watch streaming videos. We can share the internet connection and still enjoy speed.

A new experience for me was learning wakeboarding. It was like my transition from being a regular blogger to being a Nuffnanger which happened during the early years of my being a blogger.

Originally, it is done with one being pulled by a jet ski or a speed boat, but thanks to man-made mechanical devices, wakeboarding has been made more accessible and affordable.

This is like what PLDT is doing for their Plan 3,000 subscribers who are getting a free internet connection speed upgrade from 3mbps to 5mbps starting June. That's "internet to sawa" because subscribers can stream, download and even play online as much as they want. That's fast internet connection made more accessible and affordable.

SmartBro, PLDT MyDSL or SKY Broadband: My Comparison

This internet connection speed test was taken at exactly 9:14 PM. I have been getting the habit of testing speeds whenever and wherever I am connected to the internet since we shifted from SmartBro Wireless to PLDT MyDSL. The increase in speed was so significant that I now have become so conscious and particular about the internet connection I am using each time I surf, even outside the house. So far, the promise of SmartBro's "up to 384kbps" is not usually being delivered, based on the speed tests I have made from our office which uses a SmartBro connection. It actually seldom reaches 300kbps which is not actually wrond because SmartBro does not guarantee a speed - they only give a range or a limit which is always a just a possibility. So far, we are very much content with the connection speed provided by PLDT MyDSL. But jsut to make you aware, there are greater speed available from SKY Cable. They have a P6,000 plan that gives upt to 12mbps and that includes a certain number of minutes of calls to the US and Canada every month and a 15% discount on the cable connection. They have lower deals and you can see the SKY Broadband plans or packages below.


So if it's speed you're looking for and you don't mind paying a lot, go for SKY Broadband, if it's money well spent, try PLDT MyDSL. About SmartBro, use it if the other two are not available in your are, it's still better than dial-up.
