To connect your digibox to the internet via LAN.  Maybe to download games or if you plan to upgrade the system.  Kasi hindi pa yata wifi capable ang digibox unlike a Smart TV, PS3/PS4 and some 3D Bluray players.

We have Sky Cable Dual Def 499 and Sky Broadband 1.5 Mbps @Php 999. I think they no longer offer 1.5 Mbps. The minimum speed is 3 Mbps @Php 999 if you are an existing Sky cable subscriber. Lock-in period is 12 months instead of 24 months for new Sky broadband subscriber with existing Sky cable subscription.

If you didn't receive a mail in your digibox, try calling Sky. I think it will still be applicable to you. Natuwa lang ako since after agreeing on the T&Cs sa mySky account, the modem resetted by itself and when I ran speed test, yun na 2.95 Mbps yung result. All done via internet.

Not sure, I've read the T&Cs and I didn't see any capping. As far as I know, mine is unlimited. Sky has its own consumable plan with 15GB or 35GB cap at 10Mbps speed.



called up sky. they are increasing the dual def bill to P549 per month. asked about the upgrade of speed, sabi kailangan maka receive ng notification to upgrade it before it can be set to 3mbps.

you don't need to wait for anything, just email their customer service and they will upgrade your plan immediately. that's what i did.

Tinawagan ko sila sabi nila wala na daw yung feature na yun. Dumb move from them. It looks simple to program the feature.

Sir how much po plan nyo? yung sa plan499 kasi cost ng extra HD box ay 1,299.

Sorry bro, late reply.  Dual Def 999 ang plan ko.  Pero after all add-ons (2nd box and addt'l channels), P1799 na ang monthly bill ko.  :(

Guys, we are almost done with our renovation. Need to decide already if I go with Sky or Cignal. What are the clear advantages and disadvantages if I go for Sky over Cignal?

check both service provider for their channel offering.
check if you need sky broadband as well if they offer it and you need one.
both has their plus... and minuses...

you need to decide on which one will give you the best entertainment return in the long run.
consider as well the services they provide.

btw, consider also their promotional offers.
