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

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.

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

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

Great information. Thank you! Grateful,

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

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.

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!

Very exciting for 1 percenters but not for the masses.

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

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

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.

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

Always great information to help make decisions - definitely do a video on StarLink

I want to move to the PI. I am Fil-Am and I just love the PI so much. How did you do it? Thanks in advance!!

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 ?

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.

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.

We live in Samal , Davao near Davao City. What carrier will you recommend if we want to be able to watch Netflix, KZread, 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!

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

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?

Just wondering what is available in the Guihulngan area

Why DITO Telecommunications not mentioned?

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.

Starlink Video Please 🙏🏾💯🎉

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?

what is the best internet for EPL, UEFA FOOTBALL AND SIX NATIONS RUGBY in philiipines

which ISP has the lowest ping ms latency ..

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.

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

Any suggestions for a balikbayan?

I get very fast Internet here in Quezon city and in Baguio using PLDT 400 mbps

Any info from anyone here regarding prepaid sim plans with unlimited data and texts or at least 40gb and texts? Maybe Hotspot? I'm visiting Davao and do not want to feel restricted.

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

Here in Austin, TX I get 718 MBPS Download and 919 MBPS Upload Internet Speed.

Can I pay a Philippine wifi in Canada or online

Tôi muốn mua bộ phát wifi tốc độ cao . Chúng tôi đang ở tầng 20 và không thể có dây kết nối . Hãy chỉ tôi

Do you need to live in Manila to have the fastest internet?

LOL you got me

Ang mmhal naman

Woooow fiber is extremely expensive in the Philippines, especially considering how most people only earn a fraction of what people earn in the USA or Europe. I live in Denmark and I can get faster fibre connection for less money here, and in all modesty I probably earn more here than the average Filipino earns monthly in their country

3500 php for converge and not even 30 mbps download and upload speed test… hmmm…. Maybe globe would be better? ( makati city btw) thoughts???

Hey Evan, I’m not sure if u have done comparison between an apartment and condominium in BGC and near vicinity. Also, if possible can u talk about the pros and cons of it, if u please. Thank you.

Why is this so expensive (in relative terms) in the Philippines? I live in Denmark, where the average person probably earns 20 times as much monthly as the average Filipino, and still our Internet- and data-plans are much cheaper and -no doubt - at least as quick and stable as in the Philippines.

I´ve been to the Philippines several times, and I have noticed that some things there are basically not even cheaper than here - and like I said our average income is probably almost 20 times bigger than there. For many people it must be tough economically to survive there.

PLDT CORRUPTED WIFI EVER😑....1,299 CUTTING INTERNET WITHOUT ANY NOTICE FOR 3-5 DAYS WAITING FOR THEIR REPAIR TEAM😑.......2X A MONTH UNTERRUPTION WTF 😑😑

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.

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??? 😁

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.

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.
