   It will take 24 hours to take effect daw. It is a bit of a hassle, but I hope it’ll be worth it. 768kbps hardly feels snappy anymore.

   this was already been going around the net for a week or so before it was actually confirmed.

   Admittedly, it was a good move since this should have been done earlier this year when every competitors have upgraded their plans.

   I’m getting 768kbps on morning and 1.2 mb during SOD.

   by the way, the Plan 2560’s old speed which was 2mb not 1.5mb. which was upgraded to 2.5mbps

   To upgrade, you have to either call 411200 or e-mail csdip@bayan.com.ph

   [...] to J. Angelo’s heads-up on the recent speed upgrade of Sky DSL / Bayantel DSL (which has been rebranded as Bayan DSL), [...]

   I still got 384kbps(or lower) on my speed test. Im just wondering if the upgrade is a automatic system that every bayantel subscriber should have, without prior notice to bayantels customer service.

   Called tech support the other day. FYI. the new plans are all using Dynamic IP. If u have an old acct then ur (usually) assigned a Static IP

   While I would instantly jump at the chance for a plan with a higher speed and a lower price range, this piece of info got me thingking.

   I’m not currently hosting any websites at the moment but I’d probably stick to my old plan with the Static IP. It’s a shame that they won’t at least adjust my monthly bill to fit the current plan even if I retain my old speed.

   The upgrades are not that fast, sometimes I get 450kbps download speed with a 86ping, I’m wondering if the dsl modem got something to do with this, and, is DSL different from ADSL?

    letter to bayantel:
    i heard that new subscribers wont have an expiration for their speed on demand feature.
    well im a loyal sky/ bayantel dsl user. my SOD is expired coz ive been using your services for almost 2 years.
    don’t u think we guys should also deserve the no expiration SOD also?
    i was asking the operator in 4112000. she said they have been requesting that issue but you guys are not doing anything about it.
    so much for the loyalty? more of the sales.
    prove us wrong. do something.

    This is so unfair. Why do existing subscribers have to request for it? It should be automatic. Grabe. More than 3 years na kaming DSL subscriber ng BayanTel [and a landline subscriber for more than a decade].

    Anyway, we only have to request for it right? We DON’T have to change settings or have a technician come over to do something, right? I guess OK na ako dito… pero sana man lang ibigay nila sa customers nila what they are paying for, hindi ‘ung ganito na kailangan pang i-request.

    —- Yes, you only have to make a request, but u have to make a written one. It would be nice if you could just do it over the phone.

    I also find this really inconvenient. Sana they had the courtesy to send a letter(maybe along with the bill) informing us of any new plans that would present itself.

    Good thing though is that mabilis nila gawin ung changes. In my experience at least. Fastest request I had that was acted upon was within 4 hrs.(made the request letter on the spot sa ofc nila kasi ayaw ko na ng pabalik-balk). Longest was 24 hrs.

    Agreed and agreed. I didn’t even see any advertisements about it. Dito ko lang nabasa, to be honest.

    Pero yes, they act on it really fast. I was surprised to receive a reply to my e-mail in less than an hour. And in less than 3 hours, ayun:

    Another happy customer

    Good Move on the part of Bayantel, at least competent naman yung company. Bad thing is lagi pa rin may problem yung International connections nila kahit na upgrade na yung speed ko na 3 months na palang ineenjoy nung iba, (nalaman ko lang nung may makita akong poster ad nila along the road as I was travelling in Q.C.) tuloy sobra bagal lagi ng down/upload ko, siguro marami na talaga subscriber dito sa Abad Santos, Tondo, Manila, and the worst di na bumalik sa dati yung Ping ko which is crucial for online gaming. Dati 390ms sa USA servers now 580ms. Pag nagupgrade na rin ng Speed yung other competitor sigurado lipat na ko.

    With regards to the Bayantel Wireless landline service – I have several friends who were duped into getting the service – it sucks. Big time. Even in the Makati area – their service isn’t good and drops in the middle of a conversation and I need to keep calling the bayantel number like 5 times just to get a connection. Its really frustrating during urgent times and emergencies. Bayantel wireless landline sucks and I would advise everyone else to not get the service. Calling via cellphone networks might be more expensive but its less frustrating than Bayantel service and there’s always a connection via cellular phones unlike this wireless landline service. Bayantel should improve their signal and connections. Until then, my opinion of their service stays – it stinks and it sucks.

    Hello. hindi nio nmn kc kailangn i push forward kng maguupgrade man ng speed and bayan eh. they have their limit tapos isabay nio pa sa limit ng inet nio. try tweaking ur tcp ip to accpt more and through put more din. some browser tweak also improve the browsing lalo na pag sa mtu. kapag nag upgrade ang bayan ng kanilng speeds it means only one thing. dumadami na ung subscribers nila. so they have to increase some of its bandwith a little. about dun sa mga numerals i doubt it will affect you a lot kc may kahati ka pa rin lalo na subscriber line pa rin ang gamit mo. dun lang kayo hindi talo sa upload well enjoy .. bb

    This bayan dsl really sucks it’s not availiable in tondo so we just subscribe to PLDT MyDSL Plan990 – Unlimited 384kbps, bayan dsl Plan899 is really interesting because of their speed of 768kbps – 1280kbps – much cheaper and faster than PLDT Plan990. but how can people from here purchase it, do they don’t want our money.

    I suggest switching to globe or smartbro if your location is in tondo. My BayanDSL is blipping in and out of the internet scene, specially at peak time you barely get online. Never in my subscription I was able to connect during important times. Kung di important sayo yung connections e mag Bayantel ka. And never use Bayantel for gaming kasi lagi ka kick, ayaw ng iba players yung Laggg.
