PLDT Watchpad lights up DSL experience VS PLDT Watchpad - EPIC FAIL

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

I wondered with the heavy advertising for the Pacman rumble how the delivery of the promises would work.  The results are starting to appear online. And the lack of the ability to go full screen is a big problem too.   Read two opposing articles by clicking the links below to blogs.

PLDT Watchpad - EPIC FAIL

If PLDT is thinking of marketing this, they better junk the whole system and shop for another one ... it could not even go at par with the illegal Sopcast, TVU, and other live streams ... it kept on disconnecting, pixelated, went slowmo, and finally bogged-out before round 10 was completed.

I had a good experience on watching Manny's 3 last fights on PLDT's Mypad.net ... for this fight, I was enticed to upgrade my DSL connection to 2Mbps Plan 1995, bad decision

Watchpad cannot even go full screen ... it really sucks!!!  Read this viewers comments here (they are not my comments please note)

And another blogger says:  I was utterly disappointed with PLDT watchpad not only was it hyped but it did not deliver what a decent show should during the height of the Pacquiao vs Cotto Firepower.  This comment appears on this blog http://allthingsdigitaldownsouth.blogspot.com/2009/11/pldt-watchpad-hows-your-experience.html

And another blogger writes
Disapppointing service from PLDT WatchPad!!!!

Now that the fight was over, the service appears to be back to normal! But still a disappointment, since the time that PLDT has to deliver a good service... they where knockout like Manny kicking Cotto's b*tt!!
