Saijin,

That’s too bad. Yeah, Digitel sucks. Up to now my connection is unstable. They fixed it for a month but then the old trouble came back and I’m back to my slow Digitel connection with many interruptions during my working hours.

DIGITELONE Digital Telecommunications Philippines Inc. is one the company that forge RST packets as a way to limit clients seeding. This ISPs are not telling there customers what they are doing.

Traffic associated with Bittorrent protocol-based applications, like Vuze (Azureus), has been particularly targeted.

As a PROOF on April 21, 2008 Azureus released an initial results, Go to this PDF file ( http://cache2.vuze.com/docs/internet_future/First_Results_from_Vuze_Network_Monitoring_Tool.pdf )and search “Digitel” without the quotes.

For all Torrent Downloaders help me banned Digitel Worldwide!! I just shouted on their Support a while ago because they can’t solve this issue (actually I’m complaining everyday). I can download on a speed on 100Kbps early in the morning (1AM to 9AM) but suddenly it falls to 2kbps at about 9AM until 12AM

Actually I’m from La Union and the only choices I have are SmartBro and Digitel.

SEV,

thanks sa comment mo. actually ang ginawa ko eh kinulit ko talaga sila nang husto. i used to call their hotline 174 and 175 (in my area) 2-3 times per day. assert your right as a customer. totoo yan. nagbabayad tayo nang tama at pinaghihirapan natin ang perang binabayad natin. we should only get the proper service in return.

Milet,

Thanks for your very informative comment. I’m pretty sure other readers of this post have learned something about it because now they can compare services and performances of different DSL and ISP’s here in the Philippines.

i was just dropping my entrecard here but got interested in your article. my first internet connection was through digitel’s mango. the kbps that they’ve promised to their advertistements are just promises. their customer supports is zero. their call center agents does not have the know how. and since its a dial up my connection was crawling, but i am paying 3k+ per month.

then i switched to globe speak n surf. wireless landline plus accdg to globe broadband. it is still no good. not sure though if their broadband (not the wireless one) is ok.

now, i am using pldt xcite dsl. i am paying 3k+ for dsl and landline but i am happy. i am running on a connection of 1000+kbps. there are downtime but when you call their customer support they restore it asap unless the problem is major. although i am not sure if this applies to all their users.

Fren,

Oo nga. Sana wag namang lagi unlike in my case na mula’t sapul nai-connect ang Digitel DSL ko, problemado na. I have also tried tweaking my connection but nothing worked so far.

Buti na lang wala pa akong problem sa connection ng PLDT DSL sa ngayon, pero I’ve heard several stories na nagloloko din naman minsan ‘to pero sana wag namang lagi.

Shiera,

Yeah, problems in broadband connections in the Philippines happen in select areas only. The problem is there are many areas in the country that is affected by this. Dito sa Ilocos Norte nga, ang mga Digitel DSL users eh gusto nang magwala sa galit because of the very poor service of Digitel.

Twink,

Yup, ok daw ang Bayantel sa area nyo. Dito sa Ilocos kasi wlang Bayantel. Kung meron lang yun na rin sana ang kukunin ko. PLDT at Digitel DSL lang ang meron dito. Mga problematic pa. Kahit ang Smartbro broadband, problematic din.
