When andrea got pregnant, we knew and agreed that she would stop working after giving birth. This posed a major concern for us because it takes our combined salary to pay off all our bills and expenses. The search for a solution led us various work-from-home jobs. Andrea saw a lot of opportunities to earn money right at the comfort of our home (without leaving). It looked promising! The catch - a high-speed internet connection was required.
This prompted us to look for the cheapest high-speed internet provider available at that time. We compared the leading providers: PLDT myDSL, Globe wireless Broadband, Zippidee by SkyCable, and SmartBro Wireless Provider.
At that time, PLDT required an existing phoneline before allowing subscription. Since the house did not have a line yet, purchasing one with DSL connection would be similar to paying for 2 phones. It just seemed too impractical. Globe broadband, on the other hand, because of the need for hotspots, did not appeal as a practical choice as well. Zippidee, which was actually one of our top choices unfortunately would not allow us a subscription because our area is still not within reach of SkyCable company, thus, narrowing our choices down to SmartBro.
Now, almost a year after subscribing to SmartBro, PLDT is offering a new promo - a phoneline and internet connection for less than P800 per month. Globelines is also showcasing the same combo for a slightly higher fee of 900. With all the cheaper subscriptions today and our not so satisfying experience with SmartBro, I think back and ask, did we make the right choice?
