When we talk about the BEST ISP here in Davao City, each of us has it's own opinion. Some say Bayantel or PLDT MyDSL are the best. Some might disagree and say they are wrong and SmartBro or Globelines are better.
I've been loyal to Sky Cable's Zpdee as my ISP for two years and it was my first connection to replace the ever painful dial up. Geez... I remembered the days of how annoying dial up was. A 10 mb file to be downloaded for 1 hour? Don't imagine. Luckily, these ISP became affordable with great speeds to offer.
The question now is how stable and reliable they can be?
I only tried 2 ISP in Davao so I'll give a short feedback.
Sky Cable's Zpdee - Sky Cable(not Sun Cable) is mandatory if you want to avail their connection. Their 512 kbps is 900 php + 650 php for Sky Cable. That's quite expensive BUT their connection is REALLY stable. Almost 0% interuption and you get what you paid for.
PROS: stable, no disconnection(unless some theft stole their cable wires), good download, good surfing
CONS: expensive, bad for uploading, for 900 - 1000 php, 512 kbps is not enough since some ISP offers up to 1 mbps, 1 PC only(I'm serious, you can't use this to other PC/laptops)
Globelines - This was my second ISP, most of my friends warned me about this ISP but 512 kbps is not enough for me and Zpdee is way too expensive. My mom never watch cable channels and I never watch TV so yes Sky Cable was useless for us! Freshly installed 2 weeks ago, it was fast. 995 php for up to 1 mbps, it was a good offer. Problem is, once it disconnects it really mean it! You'll have no internet for day/s which is annoying as hell!
PROS: 995 php for up to 1 mbps it was a good offer unlike the 512 kbps, fast download, quick response from customer service
CONS: not so fast on surfing(Tip: Use OpenDNS for improvement), unstable!
In my opinion, ISP here in Davao really varries upon your location. Some find this ISP good, others don't. Just a small tip, if you are satisfied with your ISP stick with it!
