If they're gonna try to squeeze out more money from us, the least they could do is upgrade the transmission speed to a minimum of 1Mbps instead of 384kbps ^^ .... ADSL2+ is already in use in other countries - for non-corporate consumers - most people here are still stick with the original DSL for 999 pesos - and I['m stuck on prepaid dial-up here...
