Hi there..Im a British expat living in Dauis so please excuse my use of English in your great Boholano forum!!
As we live in an internet black spot I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the trenches being dug out around the whole island are for the installation of fibre optic cable.. Would anyone here have any idea what the intended use is for this cable? Is it specifically for the airport or will us local residence be able to benefit from things like TV cable service and high speed internet??
Any information will be appreciated!!
Thank you.

Hi, I am just getting ready to move from Pampanga to Dauis (Mayacabac).   Do you know what the Internet situation there is?

Cheers,

Chris

Hi there.. The optics are for expansion of PLDT on the island..

Surely on later part will come services from the said company like landlines and broadband...

Hope that they work fasts on this

high speed internet of course, but this is not new.

not new...but still NEW  for the island.better than nothing............

high speed internet?

There are a bunch of ISPs, good coverage in Tagbilaran, Dauis and Panglao.  PLDT and Globe offer DSL.  I think Globe has exhausted its capacity now and is starting to sell Wifi connections.  WiFi is also on offer from Smart (384Kb/s?).
Fiber Optic speeds would be a great improvement.  The max you can get now for a personal connection is 2Mb/s.  Any higher and you must get a commercial connection at a much higher price.

Samot ka dugay ilang pagtrabaho kay naa siguro corrupt officials na involved. Before, taw ilang gipabuho para  butangan sa hose, nya kay wala man taronga ug buho sa mga trabahante nya mabaw ra, gipabalik sa taga telecom company kay wala ka pasar sa standard nga gilawmon. Karon, gamit na jud sila heavy equipments. Naa pa sila karon sa Danao Panglao nag sige ug buho.

The fiber optic around Panglao Island is most likely installed by Globe Telecom.

it's by pldt....for smart

Good, tagpila pod kaha ang monthly ani maayo unta og affordable

hello Atty Handel... good to hear that Globe is installing the said fiber optic for better performance

Any updates on the fibre optics??
We are still stuck with Smartbro at the moment..Click a link-go make a coffee- come back and the page has half loaded!!
