The Real DSL Score

The Real DSL Score
I just got hooked up to BayanTel’s fastest SkyDSL service (advertised in their site at 2 MBPS) so I was excited to find out how it compares to PLDT DSL’s 1.2 MBps service.

I used SpeedTest.net to test both accounts, and the country I chose was Singapore.

So want to know what the results are? Here it is:

Bayantel:

PLDT:

I tried pinging Yahoo using both connections and I was getting 350+ms latency on BayanTel compared to 250+ms on PLDT. The fact that my PLDT DSL connection is hooked up on a wireless router located in another room makes this data pretty interesting.

Hmmmmm. Maybe BayanTel’s Satisfaction Guarantee will be put to the test.
