pldtdsl at 384kbps. not!

i was downloading a iso image file of pcbsd 1.0 (a 683 meg file) when i noticed that downloads are a bit slow.

so i checked my traffic stats and here’s what i see:

pldtdsl real speed

i’m not even hitting 256kbps!

so i go over at pldtdsl.com and here’s what i see:

pldtdsl ad

i don’t think the difference of 128kpbs wouldn’t even cover traffic overhead.

conclusion: pldt lies.

update (2006.05.03) :
i checked with pldt’s bandwidth tester located in their site and here’s what i got:

bandwidth test results

something really sucks.

    googling around & found your blog. i’m one of those unhappy subscribers. the recent alibi i got from pldt las piñas branch is “they are upgrading to fiber-optics connection, just like what they executed @ somewhere pamplona, lp”. we should do something about this monopolizing, theft & lies. we are bound by their contracts but they are’nt delivering the subscribers’ privileges to the optimum.

    regards

    Hello bud, just would like to ask what provider ‘really’ deliver what they promise. Currently I have SmartBro and I am NOT happy either. Thanks.
