PLDT HOME Maintains Home Broadband Leadership

There's no question, PLDT Home is still the broadband home leader as they reach 1 Million subscribers in the end of 2014. Mr. Ariel Fermin, EVP and Head of Home Business says "This growth was driven by PLDT Home's extensive facility roll out and unending efforts to provide compelling multimedia content. We're investing in improving and expanding our infrastructure so we could reach more homes to provide the strongest connections."

I could attest to this because aside from my very reliable Smart line, I've got PLDT Home internet connection which never gave me problems for years now. Thay stability I think is its selling point. Now that they are expanding infrastructure, I heard they are also thinking of providing more content like music, games and tv shows. They are also providing solutions to soho security with the new PLDT HOME FAM CAM that's done together with existing PLDT HOME DSL plan Php 1299, Php 1699 and up subscribers. It's one of the reasons why PLDT HOME DSL got awards from consumer groups, and recently the Araw Awards. They are also a six time Readers Digest Trusted Brand Awardee for the Most Trusted Internet Provider, now how can you beat that?

Ciao!

Public Advisory from Sky Cable

It's going to be one rainy night. As we brace ourselves for the effect of Typhoon Ruby aka Hagupit, we might also encounter inconveniences at home like losing our cable services because towers, posts might fall off, get broken by strong winds expected today or tomorrow. They will follow and make all remedies to make sure everything would be working but of course we have to consider this is something beyond their control. If they fix it while it's still raining outside, their safety might be also at risk. They might have to make sure their people are not going to be at harms way while they are doing the repairs. That goes the same with their broadband internet connection too.

Been struggling with your slow connection for so long?! Well PLDT Home Bro's got you covered with the latest addition to their family. They just recently launched PLDT Home Bro ULTERA a few days ago at an event in SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. It was graced by current CEO/Cairman Manny Pangilinan and PLDT Assistant Vice President Ava Española. 

We even saw it in action that evening.

PLDT Home Bro ULTERA is the perfect thing to have with digitally connected families. Now, there's no more excuse to stay in slow connections whether wired or wireless. If you have your Mom and Dad on Facebook, younger siblings on Twitter or Youtube, you don't have to suffer when somebody uses streaming or downloading at the comforts of your own home.

Jasmine Curtis, Bea Binene and their friends trying the connection too on their phones.

PLDT Executives, Tim Yap, Anton Del Rosario, Raymond Gutierrez and Alvin Teng was there to show support to PLDT Home.

It's available in three modes. The ULTERA Basic can get you speeds up to 3 Mbps, ULTERA Max which can get you 5 Mbps and ULTERA Pro that can push speeds up to 10 Mbps.

Daniel Padilla Birthday Concert Live on SKYcable PAY-PER-VIEW!

Cool, calm and collective, Daniel Padilla is celebrating a huge birthday concert on April 30, 2013. I've already announced that on my post here. =)

I know sometime soon, the tickets might be out of stock on Ticketnet and the Araneta Ticketing office. I wouldn't be surprised if it's already sold out. But SkyCable has got you covered and might even bring you more things backstage as they will have PayPerView subscription open for their subscribers this Tuesday. 

It's a whole lotta cheaper than getting a ticket and you can watch right from the comforts of your home. Aside from that, you can watch with the whole family and scream your lungs out for every song he will be performing on that day. Who knows, this might actually be better than a boxing match if you watch it!

Sing along with Daniel and all his guests on this date, which you can get for only Php 399.00. Isn't that a first? Bringing Digital TV at home, that's what Sky Cable can do for you!

This and a lot more on their Facebook Page so check it out!

The Importance of Staying and Getting Connected

When things are crucial and you need to work remotely all you can do is depend upon your Internet connection. DSL in this side of the world is not that efficient because as soon as wind and a little drizzle arrive, so does your line. People could not even call the phone company because lo and behold both lines do not work. These are the times you wish there was Comcast internet in your area. In an age where vital information exchange is done on this medium; this is once crucial part of operating your businesses. The best international companies know how important this is and they invest on information technology infrastructures that are fail safe, environmentally laudable and still energy and cost efficient.

Cable Internet has been one of the best ways to get on line. You won't have to worry about speed and signal rates and even television services are bundled with it. The discounts and freebies you can get are unmatched because of the stable infrastructure. You can also choose what shows to see on any given day. The easier it is for any consumer or corporation to have choices and get the best performance out of their service providers is tantamount to the success of these businesses. Life is good and should never be complicated by simple operation necessities. If you have a business and get Internet connection for both your wired and wireless clients without interruptions when you want it and when you need it then you would not have any problems at all. Information through social media and the Internet is part of human rights now. Disconnecting from the world is not an option if we truly wish to attain success today.

PLDT myDSL’s Internet to Sawa TRANSFORMS my Internet experience from ZERO to HERO!

The Goodlooking guy formerly known as ZERO! LOL!
(photo credits to Anton of Pusangkalye.net)

I haven't been the best guy to ask about technical stuff. I throw jargons here and there that wouldn't be comprehended by ordinary humans. It just gets more complicated by the minute. I entered the blogging world by the tender age of ** (thought I'd tell you huh?!LOL!) but I've learned to tone down a bit and make an effort to tell stories for lay men and women. This is not a surprise to some of you. I'm a self proclaimed geek, online almost 24/7... excluding bathroom breaks and meal time. =)

I get OC'd if I don't get to read emails. I get depressed if I don't get to see Facebook alerts. I turn neurotic if the Internet doesn't want to cooperate with me when I'm blogging. I'd die if I don't get to upload my photos and brag about them in forums. I went into a phase just like everyone else; the dark age of Internet in the country when nobody knows when it will be back, or when a page would load, or when my downloads would finish. I have experienced that first hand with dial up services (hey! no! I'm not that old!) and those ISP's that mushroomed in the past (same for corporate accounts!). It's either buggy, laggy, or eggy. You literally wait for yourself to lay an egg before you see how your chosen website loads up! LOL!

When DSL and Cable came along, I thought the heavens opened up and gave this geek a break. I tried countless companies (some of which I even worked for! LOL!) that promised bandwidths of preposterous speeds. I also thought Cable Internet was a wise choice but it went down every time it rained. Second rate DSL services said they're the best and the fastest but caps you off in an apparent attempt to charge you/just plainly stop you if you go over their limits! (whoever invented that kilobyte cap must have been sleeping under a rock for ages!)

It was nice for a day or two. No hitches, no problems whatsoever! I got to see the difference between connections. Later on, I got myself some WIFI for the home so I can get my kins online too. The problem is, it only stayed up until it wants to. Without warning, their DSL and phone turns to a busy tone when some part of the metro gets rain. I really wondered if their service was just for summer... or a solar panel somewhere makes it run. NOT FUNNY when I have deadlines to meet!

I'm not a supporter of those popular USB ones either, tried this and that but I ended up getting my account drained of money; because their promo connection rates don't even see the light of day in some areas. The connections are pretty bad too. In hindsight, I became the lamest tech guy in the house/in the neighborhood that they have ever met. I'm one of those computer geeks that get blamed for something the ISP's should have done. I suffered bullying in the kitchen, they fed me too much to get this big too... =(


Nobody came close with the convenience I had when I switched to PLDT! I got it on a bundle together with our phone! I got a new number too to get those pesky prank callers some dose of their own medicine. Honestly, it only went down ONCE in its history because of a MAJOR TYPHOON. As for the connection, everything's sweet! I get to download all the things I need for work. I get to upload my photos, connect with people on social networks and stay online all day like I wanted. I blogged about the experience too and YOU'RE LOOKING RIGHT AT IT! LOL! Not only did I become a plain old "blogger"... I became part of NUFFNANG and GLITTERATI PLUS too!

It looks like they're serving another sweet fruit on the plate like this one! Imagine getting 5Mbps instead of the 3Mbps that you used to pay for on Plan 3000! As if that weren't enough they're throwing in PLDT WATCHPAD's Exclusive content... and a year of FREE PLDT TO PLDT NDD Calls oh my!

Now that I have PLDT, my Brother in Ireland looks smooth on video streaming. My Sister at home could play her favorite Facebook game and spend countless hours on it. My Mom and Dad get to talk to relatives around the world via Skype on my IPAD2. Obviously this tech guy who owns this site just became ZERO to a HERO in no time! Food still comes in though; but that's every once in a while... right after gym time.

I get to save some damsel in distress SOMETIMES too!
Just like any HERO would do! =)
