Calling all loyal subscribers of Sky Cable who’ve been with them for at least a year and with no outstanding balance, you can try out their broadband connection for FREE for 15 days!
SkyBroadband is offering a 15-day free trial of up to 12 mbps broadband internet connection for Sky Cable subscribers. Not only that, included in the package is their SkyVoice service which you can use to call people abroad for only a peso per minute.
You don’t have to shell out anything for the modem and set up fee and you are not required to continue their service when the 15-day period is up.
This is unheard of for residential internet and it’s much faster than DSL since instead of phone lines, cable lines are used which can carry more bandwidth. So if you qualify, I highly recommend you go for the 15-day trial and download all movies that you can in 15 days. Hahaha.
Contact Marites Ramos (Account Executive) at 6369292 loc. 6515 or e-mail her at thezskylab@yahoo.com. You can mention that you got her info from Calvin of PinoyTechBlog.
If you’re interested in SkyBroadband and wondering what your P999 monthly internet budget can get you, it’s 1.5 mbps (if you’re also a Sky Cable subscriber, 1 mbps if you’re not) plus 15% off on your Sky Cable bill.

I called up the Sky Broadband hotline and I was told we’re eligible to have the free 15-day trial (being a Sky Cable subscriber for years now). Free, no fees for the modem and installation, they clearly stated this. They specified the date they would arrive, but had to follow-up several times for several weeks. Finally, they installed the cable (separate from the cable used for tv) and the cable modem.
Suprisingly, they handed us a paper we should sign for a two-year lock-in period with Sky Broadband. We were also told that a deposit fee of Php1,000 shall be added to our Sky Cable bill.
What the?!
Another (bigger) surprise: internet didn’t work. Good thing they didn’t leave after installing the modem. They spent hours, till about 8PM, then finally told us Sky Broadband isn’t available in our area (5-minute walk from UST. So they took the modem and left.
Lousy. Irresponsible. Plain stupid and inconsiderate customer service and technical staff.
argh what a lousy service. maybe the one who went to your place didn’t know that it’s only a trial plan. ang sabi talaga ng sky cable managers is that there will be no fee unless you broke the modem somehow.
i also asked if I could avail of the plan pero they checked first kung pwede sa area namin and too bad wala pa.
