what are the well known telecommunication companies in your country? are they able to satisfy the demands of their subscribers? do they offer and provide quality services? here in the philippines, we have the following: + PHLIPPINE LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE COMPANY, commonly known as PLDT, is the largest telecommunications company in the Philippines. The following are PLDT's subsidiaries and affiliates: Fixed-Line: Clark Telecom Subic Telecom Smart-NTT Multimedia PLDT Global PLDT US PLDT US Retail PLDT UK PLDT HK PLDT HK 1528 PLDT HK Ltd PLDT SG PLDT SG Retail Services Maranao Telephone Wireless: Smart Communications (Globe's closest competition) Pilipino Telephone Smart Money Holdings Corporation i-Contacts Corporation Telesat ACeS Philippines Mabuhay Satellite Information and Communications Technology: ePLDT SPi Infocom Technologies mySecureSign Vocativ Systems Parlance Systems iPlus Intelligent Network Digital Paradise Stradcom International Holdings BayanTrade Dotcom + GLOBE TELECOM, commonly known as Globe, is the second-largest telecommunications company in the Philippines. Globe Telecom's products are sold under the following brands: Globe Handyphone (mobile service) Globe Solutions (mobile service for businesses) Touch Mobile (mobile service through subsidiary Innove Communications) Globelines (fixed-line service through subsidiary Innove Communications) GlobeQuest (fixed-line service for businesses through subsidiary Innove Communications) Globe Visibility (mobile data HSDPA service through subsidiary Innove Communications) + DIGITAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS PHILIPPINES, commonly known as Digitel, is the second-largest fixed-line and the third-largest mobile telecommunications company in the Philippines. It is also the company that owns Sun Cellular, the Philippines's fastest- growing mobile phone service. Digitel is divided into the following subsidiaries: Digitel Capital Philippines Ltd Digitel Information Technology Services Digitel Mobile Phils. d/b/a Sun Cellular + BAYAN TELECOMMUNICATIONS INCORPORATED, commonly known as BayanTel, is a telecommunications company serving areas in Metro Manila, Bicol and local exchange service areas in the Visayas and Mindanao regions combined cover a population of over 25 million, nearly 33% of the population of the Philippines. BayanTel is also a provider of data and communications services such as dedicated domestic and international leased lines, frame relay services, Internet access, and other managed data services like Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL). i actually subscribe to all these companies in one way or another and i think Globe and Smart offers the best when it comes to mobile communications, PLDT is excellent when it comes to land line services, BayanTel's DSL services is above average and Digitel's DSL services is average.

Wow that is a lot of companies and you subscribe to them all? wow. We only use Verizon for our cellphone and Cox Cable for our internet/cable and landline. Those are the only two we use. I know there are a few companies out there but I am only familiar with these two.

Here in Canadas, the main cellphone company is Rogers which also has landline service in some provinces and not in othrs. The other GSM cellphone is Fido which is under Rogers. The other cellphone companies Telux and some with Mobile in their name are CMA which means they are limited to Us and Canada. We used to have MTS as our landline, M stnading for Manitoba, there are others, like STS, the S standng for the province of Saskatchewan. We now use Shaw Cable and Shaw telephone services. As of yet there is no Shaw cellphone service.
