lost our DIGITEL DSL connection an hour before that deadly storm hit the pasig/cainta/marikina area. i do live in cainta and when the power went up 4days after the flooding, everything followed after that EXCEPT THE SUCKING DIGITEL DSL CONNECTION. it had been a week and a half now since i started calling day and night and getting promises that they would send a technician to check out the connections here at our subdivision. until now… NOTHING! i have already tried to be patient with their poor customer service reps, even though i know when they say pasensya na po was just so robotic and scripted na. i lost my patience yesterday and cussed one of them shouted at the top of my lungs out of desperation… and still… N O T H I N G ! ! ! FUCK DIGITEL. i should have known that their service was crappy…. crappy is an understatement… i dont know what else to call this poor low life internet service

in our place we got the VERY fast digitel damn it! just kidding ofcourse i alwaays go to a speedtest and u know its really slow but every night it gets alot of speed. DSL is good but i have never tried to use broadband but i know dsl is good because you get the speed you want with ur modem unlike cables u know ?hehe..i hope optic fibers will come soon in pinas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

true true. It’s been like that for this week. I saw it over the internet and didn’t believe my eyes until i had it speedtested. On to the weekend and i hope it’ll be the same. Expect internet traffic though.

I can attest to the fact that plan 999 goes from 1.3mbps to 1.8, give or take. I forgot the figures and I didn’t get any lags and whatnot.

yo Barca boy and Ty, I’m going to do a handful of reviews, like this QIK thing, Smart Bro, Globe’s, and Sun’s broadbands. Know where I could start guys or anyone here can make a suggestion or two?

All good Barca Boy! Yeah of course I have to be positive. There’s always a solution to every problem so why fret about it? But my patience, if stretched to the limit, can only be so much, so I trust that these pldt guys can do what it takes to repair problems and stuff. Well, none to repair yet that’s for sure so i’ll just take my time and enjoy surfing stuff around.

surprised to see pepperoni not around. What’s up Ty! wow, you sure are positive about the connection of pldt, even if sometimes it gets jammed or lagged or whatever.

I’m not surprised as well dun sa connection na almost 2mbps. it has happened before with the first plan i availed from pldt. it can happen again.

ah okay. Well, as Pacquiao said, now you know. LOL! But I doubt it’s consistent, as in almost 2mbps all the time. Dami pa ring factors.

I can relate man. Truly, I can relate. But you seem agitated or whatever. hahaha! Kidding. Well for me I was caught by surprised since I didn’t know that it would be almost 2mbps the connection speed.

no offense but i’m not surprised at all. my dsl connection is okay. i’m not ranting about it, although i used to way way before (like two years ago i think) but now it’s not that bad anymore. I don’t get lagged as well.

hello pepperoni, fancy seeing you here still around. I heard someone over the net universe had recently gotten an almost 2mbps connection with a plan 999. Something to raise eyebrows about?

hello DSL lovers, loathers, haters, and typical subscribers alike! what’s up?! Anyone here?

yeah i thought so. Maybe about a blog regarding DSL in the Philippines, on an objective standpoint. i’m not saying this one’s not objective but perhaps on a personal note. that’s what reviews are all about anyway,

igoogle niyo na lang. I think tha’ts easier. On the other hand, wala din naman ako makita so someone has to do it anyway. probably they’re waiting for pldt to pay them hahaha!

ty114 — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:04:14 +0000

see? Same same. I’m not very much technical myself. hahaha! and If i want to write about something, i do it on my own free will, unless someone has to pay me. SAME SMAE!
