I have noticed a major slowdown in our internet connection for the past few months now. When we first signed up for Starhub a year and a half ago, we got the 12Mbps connection. That was unheard of in the Philippines. In the Philippines, you’d be happy with a 1Mbps connection speed. So I thought at 12Mbps, I wouldn’t have a problem at all. But the past few months, I can’t even watch a youtube video without having to wait for it to buffer or use my webcam without it freezing.
We are paying about $80 a month for a service that gives me an equivalent of a 56k connection speed.
It is 12:30 AM on a weekday. I decided to check my internet connection speed using this tool. I made sure nothing else was using bandwidth and this is the result I got:
I’m not even expecting to reach 12Mbps but 40KBps? Heller???

Madami ako nakita similar complaints pero di naman umaako ang Starhub. In fairness, ngayon umaga mabilis naman. Pero pag peak hours nakakabaliw sa bagal.
