Wired internet plans in the Philippines under PHP 2K

If you feel like the basic internet plans just won’t do, then you’re going to need to step it up a notch and get the next plan. This doesn’t mean that you have to go for the absolute best. Fortunately, there are affordable options in the PHP 2K range that offer decent speeds for the price.

As per our usual request, please do your due diligence when researching these ISPs. Making sure that they perform well in your area is better than having the fastest advertised speeds. Here are the internet plans that are under PHP 2K from the five most prominent ISPs:

ISP	Plan	Speed	Inclusions	Price
PLDT	UNLIFIBR PLAN 1299	10 Mbps	Unlimited calls to Smart/Sun/TNT	PHP 1,299
	UNLIFIBR PLAN 1699	20 Mbps	Unlimited calls to Smart/Sun/TNT	PHP 1,699
	UNLIFIBR PLAN 1899	30 Mbps	Unlimited calls to Smart/Sun/TNT	PHP 1,899
Globe	Globe at Home Go Unli Plan 1299	5 Mbps	Unlimited Calls to Globe/TM, Local area landline and NDD	PHP 1,299
	Globe At Home Go Unli Plan 1699	10 Mbps	Unlimited Calls to Globe/TM, Local area landline and NDD	PHP 1,699
	Globe At Home Go Unli Plan 1899	25 Mbps	Unlimited Calls to Globe/TM, Local area landline and NDD	PHP 1,899
	Globe At Home Go Big Plan 1899	50 Mbps	600GB Cap	PHP 1,899
SKY	SKY Fiber Unli Broadband Plan 999	5 Mbps	-	PHP 999
	SKY Fiber Unli Broadband Plan 1,499	25 Mbps	-	PHP 1,499
	SKY Fiber Unli Broadband Plan 1,999	50 Mbps	-	PHP 1,999
Eastern Communications	Eastern Home Plan 998	10 Mbps	-	PHP 998
	Eastern Home Plan 1,498	30 Mbps	-	PHP 1,498
	Eastern Home Plan 1,898	50 Mbps	-	PHP 1,898
Converge	FIBER X 1500	25 Mbps	-	PHP 1,500

Do note that the plans given by PLDT, Converge, and SKY are Fiber connections, which should be more consistent (that is to say, there are no peak hours), and should have relatively similar download and upload speeds. Meanwhile, we still haven’t gotten word on the connection type of Eastern Telecommunication’s plans.

As you can expect, going for faster, more expensive plans will net you more speed per Peso spent compared to the most affordable ones. While I won’t be going over each plan, here are notable takeaways from each ISP’s offerings:

Eastern Telecommunications is offering the cheapest, unlimited wired internet plan among the five ISPs, priced at just PHP 998.

SKY and Eastern Telecommunications are both offering the fastest internet connection under PHP 2,000. If you’re after raw speed, and these ISPs perform well in your area, then these are the plans to get.

If you want to save on telephone bills, getting a Globe or PLDT Plan will give you free unlimited calls to Globe/TM and Smart/Sun/TNT subscribers, respectively.

Additionally, Globe is offering a limited internet plan that can reach speeds up to 50 Mbps but is capped to only 600GB per month.

Before you subscribe, check the serviceability of your area or if there are installation fees or lock-in periods by going to the ISP’s respective website listed below:

As always, let’s help each other out by recommending what ISP works well in what area, so we can avoid having slow internet connections!
