This was very helpful. I have often wondered about internet service in the Philippines. Now I have an idea…thanks.

[@jamesclaire115]

We had only one provider in the province. That provider was PLDT. The service was satisfactory most of the time. When our power was out our internet was also out. When l got a generator, PLDT did as well. Something is better than nothing. Our bill was close to $50 per month. Often times the speeds were not always as advertised. Repairs were not too slow as the rep and l had a common interest in poultry. Our province is the brown capitol of the archipelago. Thank for sharing. Great video.

Great channel, you’re informative and knowledgeable. Thank you!

Internet speed is one thing, latency is another which to me is important

[@keemoe007]

Thank you again Evan for the great information and the research that you have been doing to make such wonderful videos. It must be a lot of work to research then put together a quality video. I am grateful for what you are doing for us.

[@whoelsebutquagmire5119]

Been waiting on this

[@TheSavvyExpat]

Great, hope you find this video to be of value.

I have a Globe pocket wifi 🤗 and top up about 400 peso’s every 2 weeks 🙀 star ⭐️ link should be a future option soon I hope 🤞

[@lexterjohnsapuay5935]

Just to let you know here in central luzon. Converge became a fastest ISP they actually also offer cable tv package until now and it's available here in Pampanga and Tarlac and FiberX 1500 is already 100mbps

[@rosarioarquero-martin3461]

Thank you, I needed this info. Pls. do one when starlink is up and running.

[@paulnebeling2068]

Please do a video on Starlink. I'm moving to Daram in September, so THIS video will get bookmarked and reviewed before we move.

Excellent information. And it shows the problem of coverage. The best wired service so far is PLDT. But even this will not cover over 6000 from the 7000 islands of the Philippines. The same applies to the wireless services. And in addition, there is no combined service of wired and wireless. Meaning you will always neet two services, one for home and one for being out. Thanks to Starlink, this days are over soon... A real game-changer. You can install on a yacht and have access on all islands as well as on the whole pacific ocean! And it replaces the wired service and I guess also the wireless. Pre-pandemic there was no choice but to go to work in an office. In pandemic we learned about home-office. With Starlink we will learn about yacht-office! How exciting is this!

[@robocop581]

PLDT service sucks

[@LAXAMAND]

Very exciting for 1 percenters but not for the masses.

[@pac9764]

Solid content again, SE! Well researched and concise. Thank you

Hey Evan great video as usual

[@johnclark7973]

Outstanding video, Evan! 👏. This was the most in-depth vlog I have seen on internet and call plans in asia. So needless to say, this was really, really helpful for me. Globe looks like a great choice, and I look forward to your upcoming starlink video! Take care and take it easy.

[@TheSavvyExpat]

Glad this video was of value to you John!

[@assaultressgamer]

@@TheSavvyExpat which plan do you recommend that's best for youtubers? Meaning good upload speed.

[@waltermorris5786]

very glad I found you

[@noodlefankennedy6334]

Will be going to Philippines next month for about a month. Is it better to get a SIM card for the phone or get a Mobile Wifi for internet access? Do you have any recommendation? Enjoyed watching your content.

[@griffin2765]

I'm interested to see how much Starlink will be. My friend has it at his cabin in a semi-remote city in the US, and he's paying $110. He said they just increased it from $90.

[@robocop581]

Set up fee with the Satellite receiver is 30K pesos. Monthly fee will likely be 6K to 7K pesos

[@rephillips56]

Thank you! I would pay 10K for the speed Starlink provides.

[@mikefranks4528]

thanks Evan. I wonder if Starlink is an option out there. If so would love to see a video on it.

hi, i was just in a hotel in Tacloban City and my wifey lives in La Paz Leyte, i was wondering if there was away to boost or make a hotel WIFI faster and better in those areas ?

[@johnnyS01]

Thanks for this Evan, sound info as always will hit up the link and do further research. Enjoy your weekend.

[@f0ul0u]

Converge have already upgraded their FiberX...From 25mbps they already now have 100mbps for P1500..Biggest con is their customer service, although there is already improvement and I was surprised that their onsite technician arrived just 1 day when before it may take them 3 days. I think I am lucky to be in an area and does not suffer a lot of downtime.

[@Synfulz]

I use Globe fiber at home. It is fast and reliable and it cost me 2699 php monthly.

[@TomandAmyinthePI]

All of the advertised net speeds are "Up to" whatever speed and I believe the speeds are a combination of Download and Upload speeds....i.e. 20 download x 5 upload = 100 mbps

[@jerryzion2121]

What about new provider, RED? We just changed to this provider 2 months ago fo r our condo in Cainta Rizal?

[@DavidHarrisonDGH]

Hello Savy I wanted to ask if there is a phone provider plan in the Philippines that has international phone plans?I travel a lot and I wanted to know If I can use my Philippine phone internationally when traveling to Europe and Asia.

[@carletto_au]

Great! Thank you so much

We live in Samal , Davao near Davao City. What carrier will you recommend if we want to be able to watch Netflix, KZbin, USA sport channel and able to upload videos in my YT ( I have my own channel)? How much will this cost monthly? Thank you for great presentation!

[@deborahbrito900]

I just moved to the philippines and can you tell me if a Smart or Globe pocket wifi is viable？

[@alfonsocalero]

Any suggestions for a balikbayan?

[@jmfernelius]

What about International calling? I run a business back here in the US. And I'm worried that I'm not gonna be able to make phone calls in the United States without paying high prices. I spend a lot of time on the phone every day here in the US. And that won't stop when I'm in the Philippines. Any suggestions?

[@talongranger6991]

It's funny that you mentioned Singapore has the fastest internet in the world @ 99 or 200 mBps. I subscribe with Xfinity in the U.S at the speed of 1000mgbs (1G ), that is with upgraded modem and wired/wireless router. I am retiring soon, would the internet provider in the Philippines allow me to use my own modem and router?

[@-n-6969]

which ISP has the lowest ping ms latency ..

[@boldtaa]

75 MBPS would allow you to stream in 4k on two devices. That should be enough for most.

[@stevepollard2169]

Why DITO Telecommunications not mentioned?

[@Hicks-g1m]

I've only heard of PLDT and REd fiber here in the Philippines I've never heard of Converge

[@waltermorris5786]

I am in a state of shock that fiber optics is available in the Philippines...eight years ago, the only country slower than the Philippines was Afghanistan.

What is with "Unli" in the Philippines? I was stumped the first time I visited and went to Mang Inasal with their Unli-rice? Me: "What kind of rice is that?" 🤣 That's when I knew Filipinos eat a lot of rice! Who orders Unli-rice?? Well, apparently a lot of people do as they walk around with a thermos with rice and keep scooping rice.🐷 Do a video of common words? I always wonder what Mang is? Google says it's a derivation of Man? Other sites say it can mean Mister. Lots of words in reference to people that are older, younger, female, male, etc... Confused in the Philippines??? 😁

[@hjrogers]

The Philippines has incredible linguistic diversity. Most Filipinos can speak (at least on some level) three languages: Filipino (based on Tagalog), English, and their local language that can vary considerably - kwfwikaatkultura.ph/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Pinal-na-Mapa-Repositoryo2.png . Mang Inasal means “Mr. Barbecue” in Hiligaynon.

[@manilamartin1001]

Filipinos like unli rice like Americans drink unli soda. I remember being disappointed here when their soda size used to only go up to 12oz. I guess we each have our own vices.

[@darrylk808]

@@manilamartin1001 good point.

[@artyomparner4528]

Philippine internet is one of the worst internet in the world.... aside of not student-friendly using web? it is also one of the most expensive internet of the not so called rich country, it also kills the tourism of the country. Why not the government solons try visit Vietnam? they have the most cheapest and the fastest internet in the region and not for that? it is almost free...INTERNET everywhere.The problem in the Philippines,they sucks their own people through politics like this.

Some plans I know from this list have been updated especially with Globe since I'm a long time subscriber. Our household has had Php2,499/month (50mbps at the time of subscription way back) and now that same Php2,499/month is now 500mbps. Download/upload speeds are a bit more than the marketed speed at around 540 and 580mbps respectively. 2 tips when applying for home internet plans: 1) Always ask and check for availability for FIBER connection in your area. That way you can be sure that fiber will be installed because there are still DSL lines (previous technology prior to Fiber for those who don't know) running across the country. DSL lines are effective for speeds of 100mbps and below and have harsh/bad latency compared to the fiber lines so if you're not aware of the line type that is to be installed to your house, you might suffer high latency and low internet speed and more so absolutely horrendous upload speed. 2) If you're an existing subscriber, check from time to time your service provider's website for up-to-date plans. Chances are they have updated their pricing and that pricing may not have been applied to your current plan. From my experience with Globe, they just automatically update your plan whenever such changes occur. Hope this helps! NOTE: All plans are subject to area availability. Most specially fiber plans.
