In determining the best Internet Service Provider, the main criterion that should be addressed is the speed. This speed is usually measured by customers as how fast download and upload time is. It also includes Internet browsing speed and online gaming performance. There are several Internet Service Providers in the Philippines nowadays but there are two Internet Service Providers that stand out. These are PLDT myDSL and Globelines Broadband.

The most common Internet Service Provider in the Philippines is PLDT myDSL. PLDT gives several DSL pricing options that aims to suit the customer’s needs. Each of the pricing options is available in different maximum speed levels. In general, the speed of the DSL connection is just fine. It may not reach the maximum speed on your plan most of the time but the Internet connection speed is at its tolerable level. Uploading and downloading of files are fast. When it comes to online gaming, there are instances wherein the game is a bit lagged but still, connection speed is tolerable. However, there are lots of instances wherein there are DSL connection problems. And to make things worse, PLDT has poor customer service and technical support staff that will not give you any assurance about your complaint.

Another popular Internet Service Provider in the Philippines is the tough competitor of PLDT myDSL, Globelines Broadband. It contains similar connection packages like PLDT myDSL but they offer it at a cheaper price. At the start of the Globelines Broadband subscription, customers were very happy with the connection speed as well as the service they are getting from the customer service and technical support staff. But as they grow in numbers, it has become evident that the connection speed and quality of service from CSRs and technical support are downgrading. Aside from that, after the Taiwan earthquake, customers subscribed to this plan were the most affected. The connection was restored after a month and the speed was noticeably slower than it was before. Good thing for Globe, they were eager to give a bill deduction on the billing statement that they issued after the Taiwan earthquake.

MMORPGs stand for massive multiplayer online role playing games. The definition pretty much speaks for itself, but for those who still don’t get it, they’re simply just like your typical RPGs except that there’s no single player play or LAN (Local Area Network) play. The most recommended MMORPGs for internet cafes as of date are RF online, Tantra, Flyff, RAN online, and many more.

RF online stands for Rising Forces, and is about various robot races struggling for dominance over resources. Characters are classified into warriors (melee fighters), rangers (ranged fighters), specialists (fighters with special abilities), and spiritualists (fighters with different kinds of energy weapons).

Tantra is one of the more popular of these online RPGs. The story is based on the definition of Tantra itself, as a body of practices and beliefs based on the principle that everything in the universe is controlled by the energy of an all-powerful God. This RPG features three different schools of Tantra, each having its own views and specialties. Each of these schools focus on the use of a certain form of chakra and uses varying methods to make use of it. The first school is the Samaja Tantra. This school specializes on the right hand path and specializes with the use of the Sahasrara chakra. The second school is the Mishra Tantra, which specializes on Anahata chakra. The 3^rd school is the Kaula Tantra, which is considered to go on the left path. This school specializes in Muladhara chakra and uses external methods to bring forth its power.

Flyff stands for Fly for Fun. This game as its name suggests allows players to fly around the world. They gain experience points by defeating monsters. Higher levels means better playing and fighting power. Characters fly around on brooms and boards.

RAN online is a campus-based game. The plot focuses on three schools named Sacred Peak, Phoenix, and Mystic Peak. As the story goes, a fourth school fails to protect its students from becoming mutants. The objective of the game is to find out what happened to the fourth school and save the students. A player can start with two players, but can add up more later in the game. There are four character modes in the game: brawler and swordsman for male players, and archer and shaman for female players.
