if you have a land line connection already go for their DSL packages, if not smart wifi is another option, or pay the landline fone fee and the DSL if you can afford it..

yes, but i'm not sure which of the 3 i will get, so i'm asking the help of istoryans who might have experiences to tell about these providers. thanks.

PLDT DSL very popular and high availability. check if your neighbors have them and count how many in your neighborhood has pldt dsl....the more subscribers the less is the speed since you will be sharing with them. Example in your area 20 subcribers if the DSLAM(the box gray in color located in the street) has a capacity of 20mbps....so 20mbps /20 ports so its like more cars in a narrow street.

Bayantel expensive but has less subscribers so very fast speeds

Globe DSL just recently increased their speeds and packages. Check also how many in the neighborhood. the same with pldt

Smart Wifi. unless you are 300 meters from the Smart Cell site don't bother getting one unless you don't have available phone line.
