Wednesday, February 13, 2008 Destiny recently increased the speedcap of its subscribers to atleast 1Mbps but despite the noticeable increase from bandwidth results, browsing has remain very slow especially websites outside the Philippines.Labels: cable-internet, news CLICK HERE TO READ COMPLETE STORYPosted @ 2/13/2008 10:19:00 PM | 4 comments Tuesday, February 12, 2008 MyDestiny Increases Speedcap to 1Mbps  TipidPC users are now reporting that downstream speedtest results are reaching atleast 950kbps. Download and browsing speeds also improved. But still, capping at 1Mbps is contrary to their claims of "No Speed Limit". Labels: cable-internet, news CLICK HERE TO READ COMPLETE STORYPosted @ 2/12/2008 04:30:00 PM | 0 comments Monday, February 11, 2008 MyDestiny Caps Speeds to 512kbps  We made some bandwidth metering on speedtest.net, GlobeQUEST, SKYinet, and mydestiny's own bandwidth meter and all the results confirmed a bandwidth cap. Results are consistent. None of them ever broke the 512kbps barrier, even MyDestiny's very own meter barely reached 512kbps. Though the speeds now are almost within the promised minimum rate, this is still against the claim of no speed limit. Tests were taken randomly and all of them yielded the same result whether it's in the wee hours of the morning or at peak hours.

Good day!Why are they taking this long to complete a simple router replacement? 1 month?! So if you're to believe them, expect an increase of browsing and download speed next week. And no more speed capping!

I am xxx, a student of xxx, whose father is a subscriber of both your CATV and Broadband services. I have sent this e-mail to inform you, specifically, the Billing Department, that my parents aren't pleased with the way your mail messengers deliver our billing. Delivering the mail at any time of the day is fine, but having to continuously press the door bell to the point that my mother would have to go out furious just to sign and receive the mail is absolutely inexcusable and rude for a customer. By noon, most of the people at home take a nap off the hard work we do at a daily basis, and I believe you know, as well as I do, that disturbing a well-deserved sleep just to sign and receive a mail, wherein fact your mail man could just drop it off our mail box is rather disappointing in the customer's point of view. What is the point of having a mail box if you still have to go down just to receive a mail that can be dropped on the box anyway? I would like to inform you that being subscribed on your services for years now, there were no instances that we did not receive your billing nor did we skip paying the bill. You may check on your records if you may, so that you may at least know that we've been one of your loyal subscribers for some years now. So, where does the need of having to sign a mail of billing, just to ensure we received it, come from? If we received your billing then, don't you think it's logical that we'd be receiving it the next time? So why the need of signing and receiving tenths of times? Why the need to be deprived of our noontime rests? Please, do enlighten me. This complaint has already been called in by my mother through your hotline for three times now. Add to that, she also went directly onto your office in Chino Roces just to speak to the Officer-in-Charge and tell you how much of an inconvenience this "signature-required" mail has been in our daily living, yet after all the hassle she's been through just to let you know, it seems all has fallen on deaf ears. Tell me, is this how you treat a customer complaint? After having been subscribed to your service, can't you at least give us the benefit of the doubt that you can at least sermon your men and tell them countless and countless of times that, "When you deliver this mail at XXXX Everlasting St., Ph. 8, Marcelo Green Village, Paranaque, don't ever, ever, disturb anyone nor ring the bell, just drop off the mail in the mail box."? Or are mail men more important than subscribers? I hope that's not the case. If you already sermoned your men and they still kept disturbing us, then perhaps, with all due respect, you may have to remove those in charge and replace them with a competent one. Our last billing, which was delivered today, did the same thing we've been complaining for countless of times already. We are currently sleeping and the mail man just can't stop ringing the door bell to the point that someone, furious enough, would go down and sign the mail. It has now come to the point that my parents are opting for a disconnection. Tell me, does it really have to reach to this point? Just because you can't lecture your mail man or at least those who are in charge of mailing, it arrived to the choice of opting for disconnection? This is very disappointing as a customer. I hope, that for the last time, that this e-mail would finally reach you and let you know of the inconvenience your billing delivery has given us. Our complaint has fallen on deaf ears, but I hope that this e-mail of our complaint wouldn't fall on "deaf" eyes. As a member of this family and as the one who opted to subscribe on to your services, I would like to inform you that this would be our last notification of our complaint to you. If, by the next time the billing arrives and nothing changes, then may I say now, that it has been a pleasure to be subscribed on your services for years, but unfortunately, you failed to answer the simple demand of this customer. Thank you for taking the time to read this complaint. God bless!

I live at California Gardens Square. My subscription to Mydestiny started late May. How I wished I read your post here before I subscribed! The unlimited plan 1688 (512kbps) turned out to be slower than dial-up internet speed (less than 56kbps)! Well, I'm actually luckier than you because I'm able to talk to technical support often, but all my conversations with them led to no improvement whatsoever on the speed of my connection. They kept on saying that people will be coming to the condo to troubleshoot and fix the connection. They kept on mentioning that there's a problem with the 2 main modems that are installed in the condo. This is where all mydestiny subscribers in the condo are connected. But I noticed that things only got worse. I also sent an email to technical support and to the alleged tech support supervisor (jlc@mydestiny), but nobody has replied to me yet. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO MYDESTINY DSL. YOU WILL ONLY WASTE YOUR MONEY AND PRECIOUS TIME CONTACTING CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND WRITING MESSAGES LIKE THIS ONE.

Get Broadband Internet for only P 500.00! We're giving away hi-speed Internet at an affordable price. Experience break-neck speed with the country's most affordable broadband Internet service provider. Call us at 841-9393 and press 1 for Sales for more inquiries. THE PROMO: You pay 1k for 2 months (that's 500/mo)and you're supposed to get high-speed internet. On the 3rd mo onwards, the rate will be at 1,688/mo.[Here at Greenhills Garden Square Condominium, they will tell you that you'll get a speed of 512 kpbs to 1 mbps. Cool!] THEIR LIES: SPEED: Break-neck speed registers at 154kbps. Worst net connection I had: 0.0kbps! Well, results of bandwidth test so far: 0.0kbps, 3.90kbps, 9.70kbps, 45.50kbps and 116.60kbps. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Press 1 for Sales and you'll be entertained at break-neck speed. Once you've subscribed, press 2 for Technical Support and you'll be lucky to get through any one of their maintenance team. You will be redirected to a voice message on their 24/7 customer hotline. The "within-20-minutes-you-will-receive-a-call sales talk" when you text them your area code username and contact no. is actually another one of their many LIES. You are lucky to get a call within an hour or so. When you do get a call, they will hear you alright and promise to get back to you for feedback, and again, THEY WON'T. So, YOU TEXT THEIR 24/7 CUSTOMER TEXT HOTLINE AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN. SCHEDULE OF MAINTENACE TEAM: Here at GGS or Greenhills Garden Square Condominium, the sched is every Tues & Fri. So cancel all your appointments during these days if you encounter net trouble (w/c is frequently), and wait till kingdom come. If they don't make it, when you meet, they will tell you that they did go to your unit but then only the housemaid was around. [I DON'T HAVE A MAID!]. Another excuse they will give you: maybe they have gone to the wrong unit. LAME! Or they will say: "The security guard said you've left." [I WAS JUST IN THE UNIT ALL ALONG]. WHAT TO DO: If you are from GREENHILLS GARDEN SQUARE CONDO - you have no choice because MyDestiny is the only service provider allowed in the building (talk about monopoly)..or JUST USE INTERNET CARDS.. If you are not from GGS and are enticed to subscribe: JUST DON'T!...unless, the connection in your area is not as messed up as in my area and that they will be able to deliver their f#@!*^! sales lies.
