Each time Manny Pacquiao has a fight, people everywhere look for effective bullshit-free ways to watch it online live and hopefully with the same quality as a pay-per-view service, but without the pay-per-view cost. Especially now that Manny Pacquiao is all set to fight Juan Manuel Marquez on Nov. 13—even this early, people are dredging the interwebs to be able to see it vie live video streaming.
Good thing is that PLDT DSL’s WatchPad feature is already capable of allowing its subscribers to watch a Manny Pacquiao fight online hassle-free. This broadband internet service offers fast internet connection that it is indeed possible to watch high-definition video streaming of most cable channels. Thousands of PLDT DSL subscribers already know that, and are often the source of text messages revealing the outcome of a Manny Pacquiao fight ahead of the local terrestrial broadcast (that is often bleeding so much with advertisements).
On the other hand, another good means to watch a Manny Paquiao live is through Globe’s Wimax service, although we have a number of caveats for that. One, Globe Tattoo Wimax does not have any ready-made software like that of PLDT DSL’s Watchpad. And another: you will have to apply first to have Speed Boost on your account to be able to seamlessly watch live video streaming if you happen to find any website that allows this.
The verdict, of course, is obvious: PLDT DSL offers an easy and ready means for online users to watch any Manny Pacquiao fight online live. While Globe Tattoo Wimax (no thanks to its Fair Usage Policy aka bandwidth capping) still needs some adjustment to ensure that you will be able to have some good quality viewing experience in watching the boxing match, but only if you activate its new Speed Boost add-on (call 211 using your Globe mobile phone for more info about this).
How about smart bro …why can’t they provide free live streaming of pacquiao fights to their subscribers ???…..The fact that smart phillippines is and has always been a sponsor of many pacquiao fights,,,,,,,
@alex,
smartbro is also based on the Wimax technology, and as such, it is also under bandwidth capping. worse, they have a lower (as of the last we heard) bandwidth cap than that of Globe Tattoo Wimax.
of course, if you still haven’t exceeded your allotted badnwidth for the month, you can watch manny pacquiao live video streaming. but most smart bro users usually exceed their allotted bandwidth in a few days, so they’re highly likely to be unable to smoothly watch live video streaming using the degraded post-FUP bandwidth.
if you can, get a wired DSL–either Globe or PLDT.
