Which one are you using for internet connection?
Pre-paid USB sticks
Post-paid USB sticks
"Broadband" sticks
or DSL?
I'm using PLDT DSL. Works just fine for me since I don't watch too much videos over youtube nor am I fond of download music files from the web. PLDT's connection has slowed down since late March and this article could probably explain what is happening.

Still I prefer DSL over so-called broadband sticks.

PLDTs lines were broken under the sea. Since March 28 until late April before it can return to full use again.
See Ms Understoods link. It will explain.

I use Globe broadband 3 GB for P 999. Much faster than Tattoo stick or PLDT.
If you don't like it here then leave.

We have Globe internet connection at home. 3MBPS for only P1299 a month. And I tell you, it's pretty fast even if I'm streaming videos, or downloading it. It depends on what connection you have. Though the Philippines has the SLOWEST broadband (sticks) connection.
