PLDT myDSL-W Wireless DSL
PLDT has a wireless “DSL” service.
It appears to be a PLDT-branded version of Smart WiFi with different plans and rates. The service is offered as an alternative to wired, phone line DSL. The branding continues the trend that in the Philippines, “DSL” means “broadband.”
Any feedback on the service?

I have a question guys please help me i noticed something with my bill i applied for 999 per month but i always pay 2,272.73 pesos excluding my landline and my speed is only 687.1kbps Why is that guys? please answer this soon as possible. thank u.
elow^^ i applied a phone line and im planning to apply din for new internet connection within QC. sabi nila mahina din ung sa bayantel and other connections at sa mga nabasa ko nagdadalawang isip tuloy ako mag apply ng pldt dsl
.kahit ung 1mbps sana para atleast mabilis though inde naman talagang 1mbps un sguro mga around 700-800kbps lang (based sa experience ng friend ko).
sabi dun sa pldt office, meron daw options like ung isa apply for new phone + internet connection worth 1.2k/mo. na atleast 256kbps fixed. then ung other is phoneline around P700/mo at internet 1mbps@ 999/mo.(so lumalabas 1.6k/mo bill ko monthly). eh bakit kay Kris ganunang billing? :s
which is which po ba talaga? hehe
@cindy
karamihan sa mga internet shops na mabibilis ang connections, naka business plans sila (i guess)ung ang bill eh inde bababa ng 4k/mo.

Well, I would like to say the PLDTdsl has lots of technical issues, people that are installing their dsl lines have access to our information (the PPPoE login and the password). So they can use it anytime they want thus stealing our internet access, when somebody else uses your PPPoE acct they get connected and you get disconnected. You have to reboot your modem in order to get connected again. Imagine the cost of being offline especially if you have a web server that has many clients around the world.
elow! ask q lng if how we can avail pldt dsl?we smartbro now, can we install dsl instead of smartbro?we also need wireless phone….he he he help me naman
Hanep talaga ang PLDT imagine hindi pa due date naniningil na kaagad pag alam nila na naka enrol sa credit card pati ung hindi pa due sinisingil na pano pag ang pondo mo lang sa card is yung month na dapat mo lang bayaran tapos puputulin nila kasi d mabayaran ng buo ng bangko dahil nga pati hindi pa due sinisingil na. pero pag kamag anak nila 3 buwan na di pa pinuputol
PUTANG INA NYO PLDT WALA KAYONG KWENTA. NAPAKABAGAL NG DSL NYO. MGA BOBO. MAGPAKAMATAY N LAHAT KAYO MGA PUTANG INA NYO. SALSALIN NYO TITI KO KANTUTIN NYO MGA MAGULANG NYO KAININ NYO TAE KO ISUBSOB NYO MUKHA NYO SA INIDORO AT MGA ANAK NG TIGIDONG KAYO.
