Now in my search for solution or fix for this problem on the web (using my SmartBro – I believe that it only needs some tweak on the DNS of the connection settings), I found this post from NonThoughts blog enumerating a list of different valid DNS servers that is working with PLDT.
Here are the numbers listed by the said blog post and I use the first 4 numbers on the list and my connection on PLDT did came back.
Update: I added Google DNS and OpenDNS which are the numbers that I am using right now. It speed up the loading of the websites.
Google DNS (recommended)
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
OpenDNS (secure DNS with filtering options, go to OpenDNS.com and customize your setting):
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
PLDT DNS:
58.69.254.3
58.69.254.4
58.69.254.8
58.69.254.9
58.69.254.43
58.69.254.46
58.69.254.70
58.69.254.72
58.69.254.103
58.69.254.104

58.69.254.133
58.69.254.134

ang problem kong palaging ma-encounter is yung mawala ang internet connection ko kapag umulan na, at saka during evening time at around 9pm. onwards. please help to rectify this problem. You know nagbabayad tayo nang tama ang services hindi…upset
I experienced the same, a few months ago. What I did is report this issue to 172 (PLDT’s hotline for issues like this). I did this for a couple times and even ask them if this is really normal, “na nawawala ang internet kapag umuulan” and they told me na “dapat hindi” and they will file a report regarding this. Naresolve naman, problema naman brown out 🙂

i also have problem with PLDT every 5mins my connection get lost..i called 172 and technician came..but he said that theres no prob. on my connection..after technician checked my net i tried to use it for me to test but still the same connection..it sucks..i think PLDT fooling us..we paid our bills but they dont give what we are paying for..
Windows 7 keeps indicating that the DNS is incorrect no matter which number I type.help
Make sure that you’re setting the IPv4 and not the IPv6 setting. If you are using IPv6, try this Google Public DNS IPv6 version of the dns:
2001:4860:4860::8888
2001:4860:4860::8844
Will try sir thank you.
I will try this one and will see if this one has effect on my agony about the connection we are having with our PLDT DSL. Thanks Bleuken!
