Globe Broadband 2Mbps: Php1,995 (DSL w/ free Landline)
Bayan DSL 1.5Mbps: Php1,699

The sky broadband speed listed above is for non-skycable subscriber, if you are a skycable user, it is 3Mbps..

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.

Huawei B933 aka Smartbro share it for only P2500. visit link http://gpscdma.en.alibaba.com/product/268777718-0/B933_hsdpa_modem.html

Maybe a businessman in the Philippines will import them and sell them here, good business opportunity as then the router could be used for SUN, SMART or Globe or general use as now the present one is locked to SMART.
