But.. that 112Meg SkyBroadband.... is \'residential\' use only....
And being tested in a limited radius from Rockwell Plaza, Makati
But... 12k monthly is not bad..... if you are already paying 100k rent at Rockwell...
The condos.. are actually INSIDE the posh Rockwell Mall !

Aye but what\'s the justification of such high tariffs?
Costs - of optic fibre (presumably what they are using if restricted to small area) or wages certainly aren\'t any less in Japan & Korea than they are in Philippines
Any new product/service is usually launched in a control area before being rolled out to a much larger audience area

Don\'t know how accurate their speed tests are on that chart but their pricing is way off. They show California as $1-$5 per month. No way you can find internet access here for that. In my area the lowest is AT&T dsl at $14 per month for 1.5mbs. :( The local cable companies are $20 or more and that\'s just for 3mbs. And in Japan internet access is less than $1 per month? ??? Pretty hard for me to swallow.

I agree - I saw in fine print from that article... they simply listed the LOWEST price found in each area.... and average would have been MUCH better comparison !
