our internet speed before was only 5-10 mbps, I really did not want to make the switch from dsl to fibr since fibr wire is more delicate and it is much more expensive too, but they said they will no longer fix the dsl plan so we had no choice.
I thought it would only be up to 50mbps but when I checked, we're getting 210 to 250 mbps. I'm scared about the internet bill now.

Yes, that was also my experience; they persuaded me to upgrade rather than have the DSL fixed. Instead of upgrading with them, I attempted Globe Fiber as a test of the other provider. 35Mbps is sufficient for me to browse the internet without experiencing any glitches or difficulties so far. I have recently heard concerns about PLDT's internet connection issues, therefore I decided to move to the other provider at this time.

@lady1993 Although it is a little cumbersome to have to apply again and provide the required info, the transfer was essential because our neighborhood has been complaining about their services, and somehow transferring prevented me from suffering the problem even with their fiber connection. After several months, I have not yet run into any issues. Even though there have been lags on occasion, they typically disappear by the end of the day.

I don't understand your circumstance.to my understanding,the faster internet speed is better,why you are scared?in our place,we pay for internet monthly,no matter how much net datas we consumed. the faster the speed is,the happier we are.But i hope they were not charging according to toal net datas consumed by you.

@lady1993 ,I see,are there other net speed options?for example,100mbps,or 80mbps.a suitable net speed with moderate price is better for you.

@jefferson126 The minimum spee is expensive for me. 
But it seems like our bill did not increase, which is great

So far we have prevented from getting ourselves an upgrade because we know it's going to be expensive again.

Hope the same thing happens to us too.

Is the bill dependent on how much data you use? I don't think so. In my house it's prepaid and I can use as much data I want-in other words Unlimited.

Yea internet bill nowadays has been an essential to many homes and offices too. Hence incurring expenses on it is something you should expect. However, choose a reliable supplier who would charge fairly given this hard economic times
