I live in Cavite and noticed some quirks with my connection two nights ako. (Been connected for 1.5 years already and I came from the 384kbps as advertised to 512.)
Anyway, I tried different testing sites and while results varied, I could tell that what was consistent is that I felt like I really have a connection more than twice as advertised.
Confirmed here:
And at speedtest (I realized speedtest was banned here. But as it can also automatically show me the results based on my ISP, which is for our case, Smart bro. I currently have the two top spots.)
I even blogged it here: http://lunaticrave.com/
where I posted a ridiculous result given to me by PLDTPlay's speed tester.
So what is it? A glitch? I do not know what I could still improve on if I follow the tweaks posted here.
