The leading ISP’s in the Philippines
PLDT ISP- The best value for money! PLDT are one of the fastest providers and their rates are very reasonable. My main gripe with them is that their DNS server is always failing. Luckily we run our own internal DNS server.
Bayantel ISP- Although it can be a bit up and down, the connection is generally okay. My experience with them is that they oversell their capacity so it can get slow during peak hours. On the whole, Bayantel is a cheap and cheerful offering.
Sky Broadband ISP - One of the newer players to the field and what a winner. Very quick and very reasonably priced. Although they still seem to be getting to grips with professional installation, the quality and speed of the connection is very good.
My Destiny ISP – MyDestiny are in my opinion, the worst ISP in the Philippines. The speed of the connection is very poor and during peak hours you can be waiting a minute or two just for the Google homepage to load! They perform the oddest traffic shaping I’ve ever seen. Unlike other companies like Eastern Telecom who apply their traffic shaping to bulk traffic (torrents), mydestiny traffic shape HTTP sockets! So general web browsing is penalised while torrents which open many sockets continue downloading very quickly. You can increase the speed of your HTTP downloads by using a download manager like ‘downloadthemall‘ which opens multiple sockets at once.
