get the plan 3000 .. get a router to hook up your 3 pcs ... that way if you're not using all the pcs at the same time .. you can get more speed for the pc that's on ... the only advantage of having 3 separate plans would be redunduncy .. if one of your lines go down .. the others "might" still be up ..

i'm not sure why you'd want to get an additional phone line only to satisfy your dsl requirement .. unless you want to have private phone calls which you can use your cellphone anyways ..

eh kung magkakaroon pala kayo ng additional 2 lines plus 2 existing lines eh yung 999's na nga lang kunin mo!!! at least pag may prob isang line gumagana pa yung dalawa. kasi kung yung iisa lang na plan kukunin mo at nagka-problema, lahat 3 pc's mo alaws na rin connection ;)

if the reason you'll be getting separate plans is redundancy .. get a pldt and a globlines subscription ..

most of the time pagnagkaroon ng problema, all 3 DSL connections are affected, thats because all 3 DSLs are connected to one and the same base station. unless its the phone line itself thats causing the problem.

We're not getting additional phone lines just for that. Kailangan na rin talaga anyway.

EDIT: Sabi sa 171, 'bawal' daw mag-split ng dsl connection. Is this true? Nakakainis kasi sa 171 napaka-inconsistent ng mga sumasagot. Pati speeds ng plans paiba-iba sagot.

AFAIK di bawal ang splitting kung nasa iisang bahay lang. Ang alam kong bawal kung idi-distribute mo sa mga kapitbahay nyo or gagamitin mo for Internet Cafe.

technically bawal but in practice, they don't even bother.

So if you don't want to be bothered by the technican/installed about it, just let them install it normally (direct to PC) then after he leaves, connect and configure your router to the DSL modem and surf away.

Advantage of using a router are:
-sharing of a single internet connection to multiple computers
-protection to the computers from outside hackers (firewall)
-simple to configure and more reliable (than using a didicated NAT server)
-small size and low power requirements (i have my router attached to the wall)
