What backup connection would you recommend?

I have PLDT dsl, but need a backup, independent of phone lines (wireless).
It does not need to be fast, maybe 1mbps is ok for that, but it must be unlimited.
What would you recommend?

the way i understand it, you wanted to have a wireless connection that would serve as a backup. imho, copper lines are more stable that wireless lines. if you want a connection without a phone line, i think both bayantel and globe offer naked dsl lines (meaning no dial-tone/phone). although you could always go for the more expensive leased lines.

No, I need a backup which will work without a line.
When there is a brownout, the cabinets of the ISP are dead of course, so even when using a generator, I wont be able to use the internet.
Not so with wireless...

Naa sa Globe nga madala-dala nimu ang modem. Wireless connection sya then murag modem/router na gani to kay sa akong barkada man gud to. Me adto me ug bukid naka Internet gihapon basta naay signal.

sounds like globe tattoo or smart bro is your answer although I doubt if 3g internet will get you 1mbps in this country...

in our case, when we use the generator, we still get to be connected... I guess our set-ups are different then...

The problem is, when there's a power interruption, the PLDT cabinet also lost power, and the batteries in the cabinet are good for just 2 hours max. After that, all is dead. So it wont help when running a generator, I still would not have phone/dsl, thats why I was looking for something "wireless", independent of any wire/phoneline.
