Curfews and Internet Clampdown

I know this is kinda paranoid already but several people have contacted me about erratic to no internet connection. Yes, there’s that 12 midnight to 5am police curfew imposed on the entire Mega Manila, but the internet? There’s also the detention processing of media people who were present during the siege at the Manila Peninsula Hotel. I’d like to believe that this knee-jerk reaction is nothing to be worried about. Anybody else having problems with their net connection? Couldn’t it be just net traffic congestion?

    Making a roll call of my ISPs

    1. Smart Bro- acting up which is rare
    2. Globelines- smooth. Usual.
    3. PLDT- the usual intermittent. same old crappy connection. nothing new.

    the winner today is Globelines Broadband. Yay

    Just clogged. Mobile networks are hours delayed.

    Although my connection is stable right now.. the best connection I have from Globe Innove since I subscribed.

    Oh, to the rest of the public.. please don’t believe the news that there’s a martial law (mostly coming from radio stations). It’s causing panick… :/

    Probably congestion. Can’t go out? Go online. Government annoying? Bitch about it on the internet. Twitter has been a great communication too. Real-time updates that are even faster than the news websites.
