 And it turns out the new fibrehome company is owned by the chinese company that makes the equipment !

Let's hope the 3rd Telecom player shakes things up but I fear they will be dragged down to PLDT/Globe's level rather than it bringing those 2 up to  its.

I cannot see that happening as I think they would have to use PLDT`s infrastructure.

That was my point - I fear the new player will be dragged down to the incumbents level

I have Globe at home- Prepaid Wifi and it's good when it's working which is most of the time, if I need to go to their office with problems the cashier is the go to girl, seems to know what's going on and how to fix, the customer service staff need to learn customer service. Had PLDT when I first came, service was fairly good, moved location and there connection was pathetic, Sky not worth talking about. Having dealt with Aussie ISP's for years it's much the same as local ISP's or maybe worse but much more expensive.

We have just signed up for PLDT's 20 meg 'unlimited' today )p1899 per month)... supposedly for connection in 5-7 days, after two nice young ladies knocked on our gate. 

Hmmm. Let's see.   

Then again, we are in the middle of bloody nowhere, so it already feels like a miracle, having a 'fiber' line strung down our lonely lane.

Yep - believe it when you see it.  We had all the forms filled in and everything was set up but when the technical team got involved it was a no-go.  Hopefully,  your case will be different.

Well, we are approximately 10 metres from the nearest PLDT Fiber distribution (?) box, but yes, it IS the Philippines.
