Is PLDT DSL slowing down?

About a month ago, I posted an article praising the performance of our PLDT DSL connection. You can read more about that article here. In the speed test results that I have posted, the connection averaged about 4.9 Mbps. In the past few weeks, however, the connection can't seem to get to 4 Mbps. And, yes, I turned off Wi-Fi to the other connected devices and checked the PC was not running any updates. I have tested in a span of multiple days and the connection is now averaging 3.5 Mbps. Is PLDT DSL slowing down?

Here's the latest speed test that I performed. This is the best of 3 tests for today:

PLDT DSL at 5 Mbps

I've been a PLDT subscriber for almost 3 years now. I was originally subscribed to the 3 Mbps plan. However, a few months ago, my internet download and browsing speeds were noticeably faster. I thought it might be a temporary hick-up but the increased speed was consistent for the next month. So, I asked around and found out that PLDT increased the speed of their packages and existing users were automatically upgraded. I did not have to do anything. Good on you PLDT.

Here are a couple of screenshots that I took of my speed tests.

Thus far, I am satisfied with the connection speed and the service that I am given. They say DSL performance also depends on the area where your service area is. So, if you are living within Labangon area, you might want to check PLDT out.
