PLDT buys Sun Cellular Digitel at P74.1B

THE BOARD of directors of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) and Gokongwei-led JG Summit Holdings, Inc. approved on Tuesday the acquisition by PLDT of a stake in Digital Telecommunications Philippines, Inc. which owns the Sun Cellular mobile phone brand.

Hope that PLDT implements the same simple loading that SUN has where the customer load is not charged everytime you send a load text which is so annoying in the SMART loading system for broadband.  What the heck we want a simple loading setup not like the complicated ever changing SMART setup and where they charge for every load text how annoying.

Well, it is true that they are cheaper but if you put in reliability and consistency into the mix, I’d still pay for a fix line.  It is very inconsistent and not as reliable as a wired connection. There’s lot of capping policies even though Telcos do not admit this directly to its customers.  ..........been using both a wired and wireless DSL and I should say that my wired one never fails as often and gives a consistent connection.

Comparing Globe Tattoo, SmartBro and Sun Broadband Wireless

 

From Tonycruz website link follows below.    More and more Filipinos have again gone wireless to connect to the internet. Recently, the three major wireless telcos have pushed down the cost of their wireless broadband modems or dongles to as low as P888 in a common effort to outsell competitors. The competition has gone so fierce that rivals Smart and Globe have come out with ads claiming their respective wireless broadband service is faster. Curiously, both did not include Sun in their ads.  Read an up to date review of the three services, speeds, cost comparison at this bloggers site  (although he did not include the new P2000 unlimited plan from Globe and Globe & Smart offer of P20 a day for surfing  certain social sites or the new unlimited Blackberry surfing from SMART daily rate or the SMART BRO Share it at P999 a month. )   Read his comparisons and excellent chart  here  but you will have to highlight the site as its hard to read in brown http://tonyocruz.com/?p=2619

 

The blogger writes Globe and Smart are apparently still stingy in offering and approving applications for postpaid Globe Tattoo and SmartBro accounts. Sun Cellular has taken advantage of this by offering the widest choices for postpaid subscribers.

 

But SUN has made available an Easy Broadband 799 Plan which requires only the submission of one ID and the advanced payment of two monthly service fees, and without any contract. Those already with a modem or dongle can also avail of the SBW 799 SIM Only Plan – again without a long list of requirements and with a short contract of just six months.
