  1. So now it’s competing against PLDT/Smart and Globe. Wonder how the price compares.

  2. 10Mbps max this indicated that this is 1. old technology I had used something similar before when I was still living in saudi, provided by Orbit cignal’s middle east equivalent not owned by pangalinan of course. it isn’t new it’s overpriced. 2.this is a true sateline unlike their cable service which is like a beam forming ‘antenna’ that points a beacon to a microwave tower. this is a real satelite in the sky and in the farthest atmosphere or even space unlike starlink which orbits in the lower ring of orbit closer to earth in high numbers to provide high speeds they launched 1 satelite in the more far orbit to cater to more users and save cash at the same time since you would need less satelite in orbit to serve this part of the globe -1 probably for this face of the earth- at that distance from the earth.

  3. 10 Mbps FOR PHP 23,500 per month??? is this for real????

    • Yes, and the target market is definitely not you. Do you also realize the purpose of this kind of internet access?

  4. The pricing was insane. It was better to order Starlink Satellite that was Engineered by SpaceX instead and pay $499 for the hardware cost and $99 monthly for the subscription with no speed limits.

    • Yes agree on on it

    • You’re endorsing an internet provider which is not available locally?!

  5. That’s crazy over price , maybe 10years ago where social media is not demand. I rather choose DITO the 3rd telcos recently available in philippine ,a very high speed internet with low prices.

    • Well all our other Telcos are well and good, they did not it is where mobile data and fixed broadband are not available. So say you live in the most remote areas of the Mountain Province or the northern most tip of the philippines where there are no cell sites on sight. and you have the moolah then of course this would be 1 or your only other choices, I think Smart hasa Satellite phone with internet but the data isn’t fast either.

  6. Is this a joke? Ridiculous pricing 23K for 10 mbps. I have to read it twice.

    • Pang bukid kase to o kung may sarili kang isla na di na kaya ng signal walang choice tsaka siguro mahal imaintain ang service nito kase thru satellite kukuha ng internet.

  7. yes really old tec had experience in UK in the 80,s of this kind of system only did was 50mb for 15pounds a month that’s about 1000pezos

  8. Mas cheaper is bambu net and Vsat

  9. There are other satellite internet in the philliphines which is much cheaper.

  10. Definitely the customer target is not us. Thats only for big fishes.

  11. mas mahal pa to sa starlink ng spaceX ah

  12. Interested but not at that price
    Unreasonable..

  13. Target customers: The IDI0TS
