SKY FIBER Offers SWAK Internet Packages This 2022

Today was a good time for coffee together with the folks from SKY Fiber. The company is launching speed packages that is both fast and affordable.

James Dumlao of Sky Fiber's Programming and Airtime Group says "The past two years have been challenging. We're adapting to work from home, online shopping, doing videos online and connecting with loved ones. Good quality internet is a necessity and we at Sky Fiber want to commit our services for the market today at the Swak na Swak media launch. There are options out there, but the choosing the right plan is a little difficult to do. The SWAK PLAN brings value for our subscribers. Yumi and Philip of Davao Conyo will share their experiences and we look forward to see you our Sky Kapamilya in events soon."

Yumi says "For me, updating my friends seem normal and I post it online. My followers appreciate it and they recognize me in malls, so I felt someone is watching me and I feel glad seeing that. Back in 2018 I was just a bored teen looking for apps, I downloaded it and was surprised I could share short videos. I made content for it and it didn't blew up overnight, maybe my 5th one did. And I found an Oppa for me. Sharing content on Tiktok is something that I do regularly, and Sky Fiber makes it possible."

Davao Conyo's Philip Hernandez says "I'm an introvert but when I go to malls, I get noticed because of the content I put out. I don't feel super special, but everyone creates videos nowadays. The difference I think is the humor we put in it. I am gay and funny, so I really made and effort to perform. I made videos from commercials I've watched when I was a kid, it was like an experiment on Facebook and I was too shy to actually do that. I didn't appear in skits before, it was like just me and a voice. The one that blew up was my 4 Sisters and a Wedding in Bisaya. That went viral, and I knew then that it was what the public wanted. The unique narrative of having hollywood films in my lines was something that people looked forward to. I had to be really careful because of copyright stuff. You also need to be consistent, sometimes videos are daily. I need upload speeds that can cater that. For me, the WIFI Mesh solved so many of my problems because I am at the second floor of my home where it was usually dismal, but now Sky Fiber has it. and it's cute!"

Sky Fiber offers 999 per month for 20 Mbps, 30 Mbps for Php 1,299 per month. For heavy streaming they have 75mbps at 1699, 100Mbps for 2299 per month, with a generous 50Mbps boost until April this year. They also ahve bundled Cable and Broadband Plans for you at Php 1699 for 40Mbps. Now is the time to switch to Sky Fiber, with FREE Installation fees and Wifi Mesh packages included in the plan. The speed boost is available for plans 50Mbps and above. It's a treat for subscribers and they plan to extend its duration, you're better off getting one now!

Sky Launches "Sky On Demand"

We were at the Sky Cable On Demand launch earlier and they were really keeping things from us prior to this day. The invitation was misleading and they were talking about other things on the venue before we heard it from the CEO himself. Finally, it's something like a Netflix/TIVO service by Sky Cable, though you have to have Sky Broadband with it. Aside from that, it also works with the proprietary box intended for it. 

Ross Legaspi of Sky Marketing says "This service is simple, it's like having IWantTV on Sky Cable On Demand. You have your own profile, you can have it customized. You have every show from the most popular network in the country, but now you'll have tons of channels that are exclusive to SkyCable Broadband. You can have a marathon at the comforts of your own home. You can even stop it, then go back and play where you paused the machine when you partially watched it".

It's easy to watch now, you can watch it in your own home as Sky On Demand becomes available in your homes soon. There's a one time fee of 499 and about capacity, it's going to be unlimited because it's going to be in the cloud. It will soon be available by March and the plan is to implement it in the whole country where Sky Broadband is available. They're continuing to populate the channels and even partnered with big outfits so you can be sure you'll have more titles that you can watch over and over again only on SKY On Demand.

Morisette Amon also provided entertainment earlier!

"Sky is headed where the customer will lead us. It now is allowing us to listen to customers and choose their own content if they don't want to pay for it. The whole season of shows are already on cable and it's the currency of the content that can set us apart" Legaspi adds. If you don't have Sky Broadband, and you are a Sky Cable subscriber like me, you won't have the additional movie channels exclusive on their line. If you want to try it out, they told me they can accommodate anyone a 15 day FREE trial so just ask and see if the experience wows you, that's SKY ON DEMAND!

Sky Cable Issues Statement On TV5 Complaint

Image owned by SkyCable, cto, not mine.

It was crazy last December and signals from Cable companies were also wonky, I don't know what caused it but Manila's TV5 complained to NTC about signal disruptions during that time. We've got official apologies from Sky Cable about the incident and they published this on their channels.

"SKY apologizes to customers that experienced a seven minute signal loss last December 13, 2014. We continue to work round-the-clock to minimize and immediately resolve service interruptions in the future.

We wish to expound that the signal loss was due to a power fluctuation that affected all our channels in Metro Manila, at 2:13pm of December 13, 2014. By 2:20pm, we were able to restart our equipment in order to restore the channels.

SKY wishes to clarify that any extended signal loss of TV5 was due to the fact that the set-top box that they provided to us defaulted to AksyonTV not TV5 once equipment were restarted. 

We will work with the NTC and TV5 to prevent similar occurrences in the future.” - SKYcable Corporation"

The lack of communication does make it hard for companies to do business streaming their channels to cable providers in the Philippines. I guess they apologized about the situation and will inform stakeholders about outages or service interruptions in the future. Now what will the NTC do after this? Will TV5 be able to accept the situation and move on since an apology seems to have issued? I know how it is to lose cable TV, it made me crazy the whole day since I paid for the service and I wasn't getting it... I wish there was some way to make things easier, but this is a start.

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.

Image from Sky Cable Facebook Page and not mine.

Anyway, they've got some of the places on red alert. Once that the power and roads are passable on these provinces, they'll make sure to have everything back to normal. The provinces are Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Aklan, Albay, Antique, Biliran, Bohol, Bukidnon,  Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Camiguin, Capiz, Catanduanes, Cebu,  Compostela Valley, Davao del Norte, Davao Oriental, Dinagat Islands,  Eastern Samar, Guimaras, Iloilo, Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, Leyte, Marinduque, Masbate, Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Northern Samar, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, Mindoro,  Oriental Mindoro, Palawan, Quezon, Romblon, Samar, Siquijor, Sorsogon,  Southern Leyte, Surigao del Norte,  Surigao del Sur, Zamboanga del Norte, and Zamboanga del Sur.

Post by Sky Cable.

If your connection has not been restored and your place has been declared safe already, please don't hesitate to contact their hotline for Manila, CAMANAVA and Rizal (632) 381-0000, for  046-484-4701 for Cavite, 049-534-2814 for Sta.

WWE’s “SummerSlam” now on Sky Cable Pay Per View!

 It looks like the rain won't even stop this from happening! It's WWF Summerslam happening this morning 7AM LIVE with NO COMMERCIAL BREAKS on Sky Cable HD. Just subscribe in Standard or High Definition for only P350.00 and you can get to experience things like these and special shows on pay per view options on top of your regular bill. What's amazing is that you can get your friends and family along for the ride in your own homes.

Aside from that, this will have replays so if you miss the first showing the succeeding ones can be your best popcorn or beer partner. Watch he pays another shot on the championship contract through the "Money in the Bank" event  courtesy of  the one and only Paul Heyman. 

CM Punk will try and seek revenge from his former manager to prove that he is still the best in the world. He will be leaving inside the ring as he battles the beast Brock Lesnar in this match. Punk on the other hand will get his hands on former UFC and WWE champion Lesnar while Heyman laughs at him ringside.

Daniel Bryan on the other hand will be there to defend his WWE Championship with guest referee Triple H on this side. He was personally picked by former champ John Cena to face him so he could prove the world that he can beat him. I'm sure it won’t be easy because my favorite John Cena just by stats alone has beaten him already. Will he be a worthy opponent? Or will this be a one sided game?

I've only been doing it for boxing and basketball matches but never thought that I could do it for a movie. Now for only a measly amount of Php 399 for 7 days.

Nadal fans would probably have a field day looking at his body this 2013 French Open. He's doing pretty good in the overall standings and I'm so lucky that I have my own SkyCable HD Digibox at home. It's currently being shown on SKYcable FREE VIEW and cable channel Balls until June 9, that is until Sunday. Isn't that great? :)

With the likes of Nadal, Nishikori, Gasquet, Wawrinka, Djokovic, Kohlschreiber, Haas and Youzhny now in the 4th round of the Men's Singles, it's sure to be one heck of a round for these guys playing in Paris' Roland Garros Stadium.

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!

Donaire VS Rigondeaux on SkyCable!

The Filipino Flash Nonito Donaire, Image not mine, shown as uploaded on http://sportsbycolin.com

OMG! Did you hear the news? The Filipino Flash Nonito Donaire is going up against a very well trained Cuban Guillermo “The Jackal” Rigondeaux. I am still rooting for of course the four-division world champion and the reigning WBO- The Ring and WBC Diamond Super Bantamweight Champion Nonito Donaire but if his game plan doesn't work with Rigondeaux, chances are he might lose it both on this title fight.

His antagonist isn't that easy either. Being a gold medalist at the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics, this Cuban Southpaw professionally has no losses, 11 wins with 8 via knockouts. The match will happen on Saturday, April 13 at 11 p.m. Eastern Time at Radio City Music Hall in New York City so I wanna catch this live. I've got my Digibox and SkyCable ready at home and I am planning to get Pay Per View just for this event. Nobody would even dare to spoil this match for me, otherwise I might have to punch them haha!

Anyway, SKYcable Pay-Per-View would only cost 499 since I am in Metro Manila. It costs around 799 in selected provinces. It's easy to get too because a single call to 381-0000 or visit www.mysky.com.ph can get me subscribed in just a few thingamajigs from SkyCable! Come and experience digital cable TV beyond clear signal, only on SkyCable!

Sky Cable's Official Press Statement

For all Sky Cable subscribers just like me, I just got hold of their official statement regarding the problems encountered after a systems update on their digibox a few weeks ago. This also has something to do with the GMA and 4 other channels who had issues encountered after that update. 

Apparently they have it now fixed!

Now make sure you go ahead and update your digiboxes to the latest one so you would have these channels back. I know some of you still watch programs on these channels, so thank the one above we're back in regular programming. Now where's that remote control when you need it...

Call 381-0000 if you are still having problems with it. Which reminds me... I need to have another digibox for my cable line too.
