That is using the nearest speedtest.net server. Reliability is
excelent. Speed is consistent -- and I only get to pay 900++ a month.

Does that mean that I can't expect anything better than 512kbps for four

I agree, one thing that is good with residential broadband here in the
Philippines is no download limit. In some countries, Australia and I think
UK have monthly download allocation. Entry level plans have 300 MB

My point is, don't expect great performance for consumer prices. You
really do get what you pay for.

Use Eastern if you can we get an outage once a Year.. Just check speeds to the
sites you want to access primarily since the Routing between the ISP's here
SUCK..
Don't know how much we pay and i don't care because the service is so good for
what we do.

Both my old SmartBro account and my new Globe DSL account are sitting
on private IP's.
So... slow Bittorrent (peers can't connect to me...) and I can't run a server.
One work-around I haven't tried is to get a shell account from a US
company (just shell account) then use an SSH tunnel. That way a
condo building. They'll charge
subscribers something like 4T/mo for a 2Mbps line.

My 384kbit smart bro connection before was 999/month. in taguig (the
poor section of town, across C5 from fort bonifacio). i could get
350kbit early on but lately it's been only 80kbit.
I have since then switched to a 1.5mbit globe wired connection. i
usually get 400kbit to 500kbit. also 999/month
Greetings fellow PLUGers!
I've set up a webserver/router for our firm using FOSS. Unfortunately our
connection is a paltry 500kbps P4,000/month DSL SmartBro connection.
I've tried looking for a faster connection. But PLDT says that our box "is
not DSL capable" but the adjacent building is capable
