Sky Broadband is set to launch a new offering for their internet service — a special broadband plan of (up to) 5Mbps at only Php999 a month with a 15GB cap.
Now that looks like a very attractive offer if you’re not really a heavy user and don’t spend a lot of time surfing at home (mostly people checking emails, FB and Twitter with a little bit of YouTube now and then).
Telco insiders are saying that around 80% of broadband users don’t really consume more than 15GB of traffic a month, then this alternative plan is for them.
If 15GB is not enough for you, Sky Broadband also offers another tiered plan — 5Mbps at Php1,999 with 35GB cap.
If you think you use more than this amount of bandwidth, then you can still stick to the un-capped (or unlimited) bandwidth plan at 1Mbps for Php999 a month. People now have more choices which plan fits their usage pattern.
Im currently subscriber of skybroadband
Im here at citihomes sm molino currently nasa apartment palang po ako pero lilipat na po kami ng fairground subdv. Pwede po ba ako mag patransfer sa ng sky ko dun sa fairground subd. Please help me because i like sky broadband ever. Please please help me.
You can reach me at my email pathyjong****@****.***
Kalokohan yang internet package na yan, in a month maconsume mo lang 15GB. Sa surfing pa lang malaki na nagagamit. Tapos kapag nag excess babayaran per data. Sa ibang bansa ang limited usage nasa 100, 200, 500;to 1000gb.
hay naku, simula nung nagmaintennace sila, sobrang bagal na. mas mabuti pa nung 1Mbps lang consistent. pero nung naging 3 Mbps na simula disyembre 2014 sobrang bagal na. sunod panay sabihin pa magspeedtest daw.

SKY BROADBAND 5mps plan = HIGH PING
SKY BROADBAND 5mps plan = LAG
SKY BROADBAND 5mps plan = KICK PLAYER
SKY BROADBAND 5mps plan = 0.42mbps (this is not even 1mbps)
Sky Broadband 5mbps plan is good for the first few weeks and will days after that. It sucks.
Oo nga! Tama! Dati proud ako dito sa 5mbps plan na to. Ngayon, sakit sa ulo! Grabe! Wag na kayo mag Sky Broadband. 3 minute video sa Youtube, nagiging 30 minutes para lang mapanood.
I used to love this for some months. 5mbps was consistent. Pero pag tagal na, hindi pa aabot ng 1mbps!!!! Lilipat na ako sa iba.
Wag niyong kunin to. Nag papaasa lang!!!!!
Nung una maganda to. Ngayon hindi man lang umabot ng 1mbps. Pag tumawag ka sa customer service nila, bababaan ka. Kapag nag email ka, walang reply. mag hanap nalang kayo ng mas maganda.
15gb usage – how many hrs a day w/in 30 days?
Sky broadband 5MBPS @ 999 sucks. It is not worth. It is so slow even skype voice calls do not go through. It is pain with their support. They do not even respond. It is very expensive in philippines to make multiple calls.
may i know if available na ang skybroadband sa Bukidnon, Mindanao?
gOOD DAY, HOW TO SUBSCRIBE THE SKYBRO? I JUST WANNA ASK IF THERE’S A SKY BROADBAND IN nueva eCIJA, gUIMBA, iF THERE IS… i WANT TO AVAIL THIS ONE
good day … just wanna ask if there’s a sky broadband in the south of cebu province in Dumanjug in particular… I want to avail this one.
how to subscribe the SkyBro..??
how can i avail this..my area is at the boundary of marikina and pasig city (marcos hiway)
i want to avail this now
Hi just wanna ask if we have skybroadband here in Bacolod/ negros ocidental..pls let me know..thanks
basta kami mag pa cut na kami end of this month sa sky broadbandswitch na kami sa mobile broadband much cheaper and faster.
if you plan on cutting of your lined internet connection becuase you find broadband cheaper and faster, i guess you got some idea wrong, broadband depends on signal(location dependent), stability, and for a clearer info, broadband wont go any faster than lined connection, here is the difference,, with the plan 700kbps of pldt and a globe or smartbro with 3mbps, your 700kbps is a lot more stable. i had some site to visit and remote desktop to use. i cant even connect to my remote desktop using broadband that is said to be 3mpbs or 2mbps or lets just say 1mbps but with 700kbps, i can connect to my remote desktop or cmmonly known for RDP, if you upload images on facebook, you can be assure that it will be uploaded using the 700kbps pldt but with broadband? damn…..your going to be stuck and repeating sthe upload..thats the difference between broadband and a lined or wired connection
how can i avail the services of sky broad band for my computer
Guys please advice. I would like to change my ISP SmartBro (yung wireless naka-canopy antenna) to this Skybroadband. Im paying 988/month sa SmartBro…..eto po bang offer nila is mabilis?
Yung unlimited (uncapped) na 1Mbps for P999/month ng Sky is the same lang yun sa speed ng SmartBro ko? Tagal na kse Smartbro ko mga 4 yrs na nakalimutan ko na ano MBps nun.
Also one last question….etong Sky broadband po ba pwede na dito gamitin ang IP Cam na gusto ko setup sa house ko? Sa SmartBro daw kse hindi pwede kse wireless….may nagsabi sa akin na ang IP cams dapat yung mga wired like etong Sky. Sensya na bopols ako sa mga IP thing na yan :(
Thanks…
okey narin to noh? parang may limit lang!! kung P999 okey narin wan2sawa narin 2..
Paki-email po saken kung san lang po ito places available? thanks. js****@****.***
Where exactly this skyBroadband is available? i mean, what places it can cover?
panu po ba yan ? mas mabilis po ba yan sa dsl ? nag loloko kc ung pldt dsl ko eh sayang nmn ung 1700 na binabayad ko kanila per month
hahahah! onga! walang kwenta prin yang promo n yan.. dun nlng tayo s ibang internet networks, bobo may IDEA nyan >_<
Well for someone who has no life like you it’s worthless. Para to sa mga seryosong studyante o sa mga trabaho. Example need mo iupload yung project mo sa company. Time = Money.
^ lol, i use about 25GB a month alone from up/downloading PDF format files for projects and proposals, and this is only one part of the picture. i use about 10GB a month just by babysitting the news(stocks, item prices, etc.) on multiple sites(yahoo, msn, etc.), i use about 20GB a month by streaming with contacts to other countries because of meetings and tournaments and another 10GB a month by participating on these.
all in all this sums up to 65GB a month but this is only a fraction of what i do with my internet, go figure.
worst promo of ISP’s
Hi. I wanna know how to compute in an easy way my usge. Is there a program for windows or mac?
It’s about the speed of the internet. If you need that program/file NOW, then you can really get it NOW. Hindi yan tungkol sa unlimited or not. Makukuha mo na AGAD-AGAD ang mga kailangan mong files. Hindi masasayang ang oras mo kakahintay matapos ang download bago mo maumpisahan magtrabaho. Yun ang point dun kaya may sense ang mabilis na download kahit na may 15gb or 35gb cap. GETS NYO?
my limit pla yan. well ako hpy nko s sun broadband ko. P50 lng unlmtd n ko for one day. s umaga up to 300kbps ang speedtest. s gbi nmn nglalaro s 1mbps -1.8mbps. advntage ko lng cguro eh un i’m about 200 meters away s cellsite nila d2 s novaliches
If you are given a lifetime supply of cigarettes for free, will you just be bound and bound and bound to smoke until supplies last, then complain that there are no more supplies thus making the supply “free and unlimited” worthless/misleading?
(Not a tight analogy I know, but that’s the picture.)
@Fleeb If your supplier has a much smaller warehouse than other suppliers in other parts of the world and refuses to build more warehouses, instead telling you to consume less cigarettes (even though you’re supposed to have unlimited) then yes, you can definitely complain.
sabihin nalang nating prang trabaho toh, sabi sayo ng boss mo sweldo is 100 per item na matapos mo ia-assemble and the max assembly speed is 5items per hour for 12hrs a day, 30days a month.
natapos mo is perfect 1800items tapos sweldo mo is 15K lng kasi sabi nila yun daw max na sweldo eh dapat nakuha mo is 180K, sino ngayon naloko?
kung mabagal ka mag assemble siguro nga di mo mapansin yung cap pero pag hasler ka dimandahan na toh.
pwde ba mgpa kabit ng SkyBroadband sa mga places na wlang cgnal ang mga cellphone????
http://lifeat5mbps.bti.net.ph/lifeat5mbps/pages/bandwidth_usage_calculator
pwede ko ng pagkasyahin ung 15gb ^^
5 mbps down speed pero may 15 gig cap? napaka stupid naman. panu mo ma i-enjoy ung speed mo? with speeds like that, you’re bound to DOWNLOAD AND DOWNLOAD AND DOWNLOAD. walang duda yan. pointless! btw, if you’re such the so-called “light user”, BAKIT KA PA KUKUHA NG 5MBPS NA CONNECTION SPEED? nako-nako naman.

this sounds more like an excuse rather than a convincing explanation
Maybe I will try this one someday… For now I’m still happy in my current provider…
how will you know if 15gb or more ung nacoconsume mo a month?
@ joe,
hahaha wala naman ako balak magpakabit nito. ok na ako sa eastern telecom. 1k per month 2mbps unlimited.
isang malaking kalokohan nanaman to ni lopez… hahahaha… kakabit lng ng 5mbps promo-kuno na to samin… tuwangtuwa pa ung mga team ng nagkabit kasi pumalo ng 7mbps nung nag speedtest kame… eh cnong niloko nila… hahaha d stable ung speed… then madalas dc… d pa siguro ok ung infra ng sky… pero try parin namin ung static ip nila na inoofer for P250 per month… bka sakaling maging stable na…
@ Alain,
Isa ka pang makulit na hindi nagbabasa…. sinabi na ngang hindi ito para sa mga heavy internet users na katulad mo.
nako. pano pa kaya ako?? downstream is 250GB per month… =D
Pano pa ko 3gb per day minimum :D
How I wish this can be available in my area too.. Myself as a heavy user does not really consume more than 10gb a month..
hi. I haven’t tried this yet. But I’m planning to. I think the reason why ISPs don’t give the advertised burst speed to the fullest is because of those downloading illegal stuff 24/7. The bandwidth cap is a logical move to apply fair usage policy. So, I think sky will be able to give those subscribed in the 5mbps plan up to 70% of the advertised speed. Sky should.
kukulit! parang mga hindi nagbabasa, nakalagay na nga “if you’re not really a heavy user and don’t spend a lot of time surfing at home” =))
btw, 5Mbps is the port speed. it’s the speed between your modem at home and the switch of your ISP. connection rate to the internet is another thing. that will depend on the CIR set by the ISP to their 5Mbps subscribers.
pc modem ISP Internet
I am using sky…Dati umaabot speeds ko to 3-7mbps..pero simula nung january 3mbps na lng…Dahil siguro jan. hehehe…
base on experience, di niyo rin ma aapreciate yung 5 mbps nila na THEORITICAL speed.
nag subscribe kasi last May 2010 sa 6mbps unli plan nila. and walang kwenta. mabilis lang pag youtube (di lang naman youtube ang ginagamitan ng internet). on all other things, mahina, para kang naka dial up. lol. ang pangit pa ng customer service. pag tumawag ka sa kanila, sasabihin lang na gagawan “raw” nila ng paraan. pero ala pa rin.
summary:
i only had SKY broadband for a MONTH, disconnect ko na agad, binalik ko personally yung modem nila kasi ayaw nilang kunin sa bahay (di ka nila i-didisconnect kung hindi masauli yung modem) Php 4,999 pa nun ang 6mbps plan. sinayang ko lang pera ko sa kanila :(
Alam niyo ang kulit niyo!!! sinabi na ngang base sa study nila eh 80% of internet users consume less than 15 GB. If you think 15GB is low, then you must be one of the 20% who downloads a lot, then it is not suitable for you and not designed for you, then use other plan and stop barking-up the wrong tree.
some movies are more than 1Gig so 15 Gig is small.
I think the reason why people doesn’t consume more then 15gb per month is due to the sh*tty slow & intermittent Internet service.
I’m actually not sure how much I use in a month… I think it would be great if Sky Broadband could give us details of our monthly usage (im currently subscribed to their 1.5mpbs), then personally inform customers that would fit great for this new offering.
another false hope ng mga ISP…iiyak ka lng sa P999 mo..better try hacked wimax, TOR or VPN para libre..tsk tsk another false advertisement…
Im a user of SkyCable I subscribe 1.5mbps but they give me 1mbps.. kaya imposible ata yan YUGATECH ..
He2x Check it out this how to use ipad.
http://yopintech.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-to-use-apple-ipad.html
A lot of people I know download 2GB to 4GB size of data(file) a day. This is surely a no-no for tech people.
at 5mbps i could use its bandwidth cap in 2 days
lols… if you’re hardcore downloader 15gb is not enough!
Just went to the official site of that offering (www.lifeat5mbps.com), and just found out that:
[1] The bandwidth top-up rate – if 15GB/mo. is not enough – is PhP100 per additional 1GB, and
[2] They have another 5Mbps plan, this time with a 35GB bandwiith data limit, at PhP1,999 per month.
so ideally sino dapat ang mag avail ng ganyan kabilis ..atsaka bakit pa may 15Gb cap..whew!
BOOOOO Walang kwenta 15gb cap.. kaya nga gusto mabilis net para makapag download ng mabilis
I torrent a lot so this won’t work for me. Also, that 5mbps speed happens in the “ideal” world only.
That “up to” 5mbps means 0 to 5mbps. Don’t be fooled.
Ano ba yan? Complain ng complain… kung ayaw niyo then stick to your old plan…
I couldn’t agree with you more.
you’re doing it yourself. :)
No thanks. I’d go through that bandwidth in 2-3 days.
Ok na sana yan pero mas ok siguro if 20GB usage at that same price.
“Telco insiders are saying that around 80% of broadband users don’t really consume more than 15GB of traffic a month..”
Oh really? =/ ano nagpakabit ka ng net para mag chat at e-mail lang? ugh please.. haven’t they heard the words STREAMING, ONLINE GAMES and DOWNLOADS? dumb a@#$%les.. XD
iba iba ang mga internet usage pattern ng mga tao, hindi lahat puro downloads, streaming at online games ginagawa katulad mo.
Lol I know right. FYI lang bro.. kahit magbukas ka lang ng website.. you’re still consuming “bits”.. meaning you’re downloading parin, kahit konti2x lang. Even bigger with flash-based websites.
So what if meron 1 desktop + 2 laptop sa bahay mo. With your so-called different usage pattern ng mga tao in 1 household, I don’t think kasya yang 15GB mo dude.
P.S. I don’t play online games anymore.. solve na ako sa mga emulators. lol
and it begs the question, why the hell do you need 5mbps for you to make status updates on facebook, twitter or youtube? para bang naglolokohan lang tayo. They offer 5mbps to those who don’t need it and and offer 1mbps to those who actually need 5mbps. That’s retarded.
it’s possible really.
not everyone knows how to play or do play online games.
there are even some people who doesn’t know how to play youtube videos.
and there are people who only download things from yahoo mail (attachments).
I think the only dumbass here is you. If I explain it, I think you won’t be able to comprehend it so why bother.
As if you can explain.. ni wala ka ngang opinion na naka post? lol. Try to post something first dude. XD
Well you just can’t have everything. May trade off palagi. Hindi naman tayo high tech kagaya ng ibang bansa. Kung gusto mo mabilis mag migrate ka na lang. Dial up na lang muna hahaha..
this is a good offer. wi-tribe is a joke. :)
ah base sa comment ng mga users dito
di pa sila reliable besides duon at as conspiracy ang bagal ng net sa pinas
this is a big ass bs promotion
sana hinde madame mauto para hinde ito magtagal
kaya ko nasabe dahil sa 15gb usage limit
sa ibang bansa ang 1k naten makaka10mbps na
kung unlimited iyan kukuha ko bukas na bukas rn
kaya naman nila gawen unli 5mbps lalo na iyon ibang isp talgan iniisahan nila mga customers nila kasi hinde na sila naligayahan sa tubo nila
Is it nationwide or in some selected areas only? http://jonaflormicfren-jonah.blogspot.com/
ayos na sana kaso bakit may 15GB cap, eh di parang wala rin :(
… 80% download less than 15GB per month because that’s all they could download…
I have an unlimited 768 Kbps connection that only works at that speed at around 2 in the morning till about 7 a.m. and I dl about 6-8GB a month. With 5Mbps, 15 GB would be used up in maybe a week.
Unlimited with a guaranteed consistent, even if lower, connection speed is still better.
Virgin Media in the U.K. I believe offers 50Mbps connection speeds. Now that is fast!
i am currently a subscriber of their 3Mbps.
Maabot mo yung subscription speed mo kapag nagtotorrent ka na ng mga files na maraming seeds (100+).
Pag nagdownload ka rin ng files sa big sites like Google (GMail)mabilis ang DL speed mo.
Pati sa pag load ng pages mapapansin mo na mabilis ka.
Instant streaming din ang YouTube at 480p lalo na 360p. Di mo naman need mag 720p kapag maliit lang ang monitor mo at kapag di ka mag full screen at kung kitteh lang naman titignan mo.
Kaso madalas mag down ang proxies nila lalo na pag bagyo.
Di pa efficient ang pag reroute ng mga proxy servers nila.
Last time I checked they have 7 proxies.
Pag down, most of the time 2 proxies are down :(
nice observation! …. kaya mas okay pa rin sa PLDC? este PLDT?
parang hawing sa A4TECH yung logo ni yuga.
ok sana kahit 5gb lang, basta assured ka sa speed na 5mbps.
EH nung nagpakabit ako ng 3mbps nila, swerte ka na sa 1.5 mbps. Youtube mo pa nag bbuffer.
Kalimutan mo na rin mga rapidshare at torret. kasi pag iccomplain mo, sasabihin nila illegal yan at wala sila gagawin.
Ayun, bumalik ulit ako sa PLDT DSL.
5mbps?! haha! ayusin niyo muna infrastructure niyo!
Skybroadband’s service is more disappointing than the competitors!
I have a client who got their 12mbps corporate plan with bundled cable tv, but sad to say their download and streaming speed is just same as my 1mpbs at home!
Funny because we were expecting to watch youtube videos without any lags but the buffer still exist. i think they are capping it, we are downloading files from our ftp server at only 100kpbs, buti pa sa 2MB ng pldt or smart ko sa bahay tlagang mka pag download ka ng 150kbps na consistent.
So after a year my client just dumped skybroadband then switched to another ISP.
baket walang inet na below Php600 per month??? compare to other countries parang mahal ng internet sa pinas?!
Certainly not for me who consumes 30-50GB downstream per month.
Make it 500 per month and you got yourself a deal.
What a shitty offer!! Sa ibang countries 100mbps less thatn 2k pa! Hayup kayong mga telcos! Ginagago nyo lang ang mga pilipino.
Kung ang gamit lang namang ng internet mo ay mag t-tweet,mag p-post ng status sa fb eh di advisable to lalo na kung may pldt landline ka.
Mag add ka na lang ng for abour +250 eh may net ka na para sa fb twitter etc.
BTW… panu ba malaman kung ilang GB per month conumption mo? answer naman oh! hehe
consumption* pala haha
it is very expensive. internet and electricity in our country is very expensive
buti pa sa singapore., mura ang rates at super high speed. taga sa presyo telco’s dito
Mahal din ang rates sa Singapore I remember our PUB consumption is around 350 sing dollars sa internet naman 60 sing dollards.Pero kasi kaya sa sweldo unlike sa pinas. Share ko lang Anti Asian/racist Rant
I admit that his comment is inaccurate. But it is not Anti-Asian (he’s comparing two Asian countries. It’s more like it’s anti-Phil.)
More importantly, his comment doesn’t have anything to do with race. Stop being too PC to the point that you see slights where there are none.
Lol! What good is 5mbps for when all you do is tweet, email, facebook, and a little youtube? The market interested in faster internet are ones who do more: they youtube a lot, view internet videos in HD, they download a lot. They torrent. They are into big media. they may be filmmakers, video people, photographers, graphic designers. And that 15gb cap is a little tight.
Look at the statistics. The telco(s) pointed out that “80%” of their subscribers do not consume more than 15Gb of data.
This plan caters to them, the majority of subscribers.
It’s only logical that the 20% who consume more bandwidth should have to spend more than what the majority of subscribers are paying for.
They should charge P600 or less for these people then. The 80% who aren’t really using and taking full advantage of their internet subscriptions. Instead of giving the tweeters, emailers, facebookers more speed which they don’t really need, give them cheaper fees.
@jedd – business-wise, it’s not a good idea.
I’m just pointing out that this is a farce deal. This is essentially what they’re telling users: Need a lot of bandwidth? Want to enjoy HD video, download from App stores? You get 1mbps. Just tweeting, email, and Facebook? We’ll give you 5mbps!!!
It’s not giving users anything of value per their usage patterns contrary to what you say.
Sounds tempting and it may be practical for users who just check their email, FB, Twitter and a few YouTube videos, the faster speed could easily tempt them to stay online longer and do more things.
Why would you want to take this offer? Just for their theoretical speed? If for some reason someone forgets to log off or your kid downloads a tv or movie and forgets about it then what?
I say stick to the unlimited so there are no worries.
If you want a bucket type system maybe just count the downloads as an alternative.
@Myke:
You will be disconnected automatically, and you will need to “top-up” your account.
It’s P100 per GB.
@jon:
If 20GB — you will be charged P999 for the first 15 GB and P500 for the 5 1GB topup.
the 15GB cap is combined upstream and downstream right?
15GB is just 1 Steam full game for game, so what happens if I reached the cap? Am I back to 1Mbps?
If that’s the case, it’s OK..hopefully they get Bulacan coverage soon.
That’s a lot better than Wi-tribe’s offer of 2MBPs @ P1999/month with a cap of 12GB!
Yeoch. Kung 20gb yan, sold ako. That’s more or less my minimum monthly usage. So what happens when we go overboard the 15gb? Do we pay more or just get slower speeds?
This is interesting.
if u exceed u get cut off! addtional 100 pesos per 1gig
ok na sana yan, pero based on experience sa lahat ng mga network di naman umaabot ng 1mbps ang signal nila. this is just another trap.
mag sun prepaid broadband stick na lang kayo mabilis at tipid pa. ako sun gamit ko sa desktop ko bilis bilis mag surf…
may signal po ba yang di2 sa panabo city?
pwede na hahahhaha nice!
