So far it’s only PLDT that’s guilty of doing this in the Philippines. I suspected they might have started to do this as recently I hardly get over 50k download speeds anymore when before I could get 400k(using a 3.6mbs connection). I guess this confirms it.
I don’t know about you but we should be up in arms about this. It’s akin to a restaurant offering an all-you-can-eat buffet but they only give you a teeny weeny plate and tell you that you have to stop eating after five trips to the buffet table.
