BayanTel sets broadband cap at 100GB?

I rattling happy to find this internet site on bing, just what I was searching for : D likewise bookmarked .

anu ba naman yan BAYANTEL DSL N YAN BWISET PUTOL PUTOL INTERNET CONNECTION!
MAGSASAWA KA KAKAREPORT WLA DIN! WLANG MALASAKIT ANG MGA COMPLAINT OFFICER AT CREWS OR BAYANTEL MISMO SA MGA CUSTOMER!

magpakabit po kme ng internet sa cumputer. kailangan po namin eh. at mura lang ahahhhh????

ayos lang… 100GB is not bad

“The bandwidth cap forum posting is back, it was reposted by the same forum helper.

http://www.bayan.com.ph/forum/yaf_postst5515_What-is-the-policy-on-Internet-Bandwidth-Usage.aspx”

It’s not reflected elsewhere though, including Bayantel’s DSL page, the price-speed matrix (even as a footnote or fine print) nor is in the FAQ. Furthermore, as far as I know there has been no subscriber notification through mail (snail or email), print (newspapers, magazines), telephone call, etc.

If a single forum post is supposed to disseminate an important change in policy, no wonder Bayantel is screwed up.

@Cake, as a residential consumer, I will be happy with a 3GB bandwidth usage per day. It’s more than enough, unless you are someone who only downloads or streams movies 24/7.

100 Gb is too low. In fact, according to my usage monitor I’ve downloaded 49.7 Gb since January 1, which is nearly half of the alleged quota in 5 days.

To those who are saying this is a lot, please remember that it’s monthly. That would translate to only 3.33GBs a day.

To compare, on an “unlimited” 1mbps plan, you should be able to transfer 617GBs per month maximum. Let’s say speeds are slow and you only ever get half of 1mbps, that would still mean you should have 308.5GBs.

“100 GB PER MONTH?! OA NA NGA YUN EH! I DOUBT IF SOMEONE CAN EVEN CONSUME 1 GB A DAY! Movie DL usually runs around 750MB-1GB+ depending on format. But that is MORE than enough, anyone protesting to that is a crazy maniac living his/her life streaming porn or doing online shows 24/7. Define KURACHA?! ;p HATS OFF BAYANTEL!!!!”

@scraven_mark

You must be on dial-up or high on something. I consume at least 8GB a day.

Dude, whatever you’re smoking, let me have some.

wtf??
para saming mga torrent users hindi sapat yang 100gb per month!

@durr, are you? humorous comment po yun. hindi po ako tanga if that’s what your implying.

@Paul, forum po ba ni bayantel ba yun?

i think hindi mapapansin ng nakakarami ang effect ng bandwidth capping.

baka typo lang. baka 10GB or 100MB talaga yan dapat? lol.

There’s no bandwidth limit per month for BayanDSL users. :)

Cap or not, the ISPs here offer crap. The Philippines offering speeds of price of about a thousand pesos per 1Mbps? Then a cap? Idiocy. We have the tech and the architecture to support more than that. We have the one of the lowest speeds in Asia and in the world. In other countries, pay the same amount we do here and get speeds at least 5x faster. Our ISPs are a big bloody joke. Can’t even get decent video streaming here.

IF PLDT adds a cap to their DSL service, what will happen to their watchPOD program?”

They’re probably gonna charge us separately for that. lol

Are you still living in 2002? I can use up 5-10gigs a day without even trying…

They should not implement such bandwidth cap as it will limit the downloads for most users. Yoo bad news for everyone using their service.

“but in reality is not exist.. we all know that here in the Phil. the normal bandwidth for personal connection is 1Mb which is 3gb/month. How could BayanTel set that kind of part Huge connection in just a month….”

3gb/month “normal”.. no fucking retard thinks that’s normal.
100mb a day = 20 music videos (which you can view in 1 hour and 30 minutes)
100mb a day = 100 high res pictures (which you can view within an hour)
You can’t even stream a full length low-res(300mb) movie in a day with that shitty bandwidth cap.

Damn you NTC! Bakit kailangan pang i-limit ang bandwidth, bakit hindi na lang kayo mag-expand sa network nyo imbis na kami ang mag-adjust! Its unfair! I usually stream HD movies/shows everyday. Tapos 100GB/month na lang.. Hay naku!! :(

i think somebodys trying to brag about his DL capabilities, at 80gb ++ a month thats 2.4 terabyte for three months alone. I think his selling those DL in quiapo LOL….

thats very short sighted.

isipin ninyo, kung super capped/mahal ang kuryente during the 1950’s noong nag dedevelop pa lang ang bansa, sure ball na madaming mga technological inventions ay di magiging sikat kasi masyado malakas sa kuryente like refrigerator, washing machine, microwave, electric iron, etc etc. Lahat nalang tayo gagamit ng kandila

going back further, noong “capped” ang kotse kasi mahal and kakaunti ang ginagawa, ang kotse treated as toy ng mayaman. Noong dumating ang “uncapped” model T (cheap and madaming supply) pati mga middle class nagkaroon ng kotse and alam nyo kung gaano ka importante ang kotse (kasama jeepney and bus) sa buhay ngayon, hindi na laruan kundi isang necessity

same thing sa internet. Madaming mga services like VOIP, tele-surgery, tele-teaching, video on demand, youtube, digital downloads, etc ay di na lalago

in English, suppressing innovation due to limited supply

Im going to switch to bayantel nlng pag ganito :D…haha

Switched to downloading 720p video files since early last year and upon checking my usage in their site I only used 6GB, 10GB for Nov and Dec respectively. I do have an estimate on how much I download per month but I don’t think with my usage that I would be this low.

@Kenzo

ndi issue ang bandwidth sa mmo gaming, maliit lang na coconsume nyan. Pag na download mo na ang client wala ng problema.

I’m okay with the 100GB monthly cap. Actually, I’m only spending around 25GB to 35GB per month due to daily downloads and seedings with 5-users sharing on the network.

Wow! How I wish this is for real! And that other telcos would follow the same step. This is so generous of BayanTel though I’m not sure if they have better internet as compared to PLDT myDSL.

Let’s see. Hopefully, if NTC would be implementing the broadband cap per subscriber, then a 100 GB cap would do.

100Gb is indeed huge = )

Sino ba may kakilalang Senatong dyan or Tongressman na pwedeng magpass ng bill at ayusin ang capping na ito? For sure maraming boboto sa kanya next election pag nalaman ng taong bayan na siya ang nagpasimuno sa pag ayos or pag regulate ng capping nito.

Internet connection is a basic necessity for a modern world.

Telco companies should rethink their subscription packages.

Example
1 – with monthly cap – low bandwidth
2 – with monthly cap – high bandwidth
3 – no cap – low bandwidth
4 – no cap – high bandwidth

well… im lucky to be one of those subs… :)
i can tell that bayan DSL is really fair.. esp. the speed & the stability of ur connection.. & the best part is when the clock strikes 10pm onwards.. they have speed on demand, ur connection will go gaga coz of the lightning fast connection.. so u get what u really pay for.. im a heavy torrent user.. so this is a good news for me.. :)

I think the 100gb claim is real. Di pa umaabot sa 100gb/month ang consumption ko sa bayantel pag nasa probinsya ako… kahit power user naman ako na magdamagan nagddownload…

Ethan kakasha po yan. .dpende sa quality or format ng camc0rder nyo. . .sample pag 3gp lang goods na yan. ,kung gus2 mu high mg MP4,but n0t sure pg makaya. .. . .

badwidth limit e sa amin nga ang bagal ng internet bibigyan pa ng limit

Is this for home users only? Our business line is connected to 5 security cameras which are on 24 hours a day, 5 computers that run during business hours, and around 3 to 4 laptops at any given time of the day. Not sure 100GB is enough.

yung iba nga maliit lang limit, eto 100GB ok na ok nato. .hehe. . .
