So, how was your internet connection?

For the last 3 days (since Saturday), my connection was either down or too slow to even send a proper email. So instead of running around looking for some decent connection, I decided to sit back and treat the last 2 days as some sort of a blogging break. It’s fine now though so I think everything’s back to normal. How was your internet lately?

    My Globe Broadband connection went back to its fast normal speeds. Good thing it only lasted for 2 days. :)

    so slow. can’t stand how long it took for youtube videos to buffer up. in the office, blogsites such as blogspot were blocked to conserve network bandwith

    THAT was a provider issue??? I thought it was my router. myDSL super slow for me (Marikina Area) for the past few days. Firefox would not even load home google screen (not even load persona skin). Erratic performance at best (better at day time).

    Using PLDTdsl. A few days before the quake our area went down.. so it was bad. After the quake PLDT took 4 days just to test everything and send someone to our house (the engineer was reluctant to go without me at home. this was very very perplexing since several engineers have tested the connection at our home with no concern if I was home). Anyway connection was back up again but downloading at a dreadful 11kbps and connection gets lost from time to time. Now that the problem caused by the quake has been fixed, my connection gets up to 50kbps. Still bad and still calling PLDT regarding this matter.

    the connection was getting wonky at my home office.

    Globe- slow
    PLDT- okay but not as fast

    then when I went to Cebu on thursday, I had free wifi at my hotel but it was so slow that I used my Globe tattoo which was even slower. I just started blogging last night.

    slow internet connection was caused by the earthquake in Japan. We are lucky becuase our internet was not affected here in Qatar. But Last year the submarine cable for internet in mediteranean area was accidentaly cut and our internet was so much affected.

    Here in Pamplona, Las Pinas, I’ve been experiencing very bad globe tattoo connection since last July 30th. I’ve been calling Globe customer service everyday and i get the same response “system enhancement at Pamplona area”. Is there any way to get Globe’s attention at all to my concern? I feel like it’s falling on deaf ears.

    @Jayb bro pano ba makokontak yung president ng globe mismo? Sobrang pangit ng connection ng globe connection ngayon , kungdi super bagal ng internet eh wala. laging dahilan samin system restoration, eh more than 1 month na yun di pa sila tapos sa area namin? I would like to unsubscribe na with their DSL service and want to apply na lang to other company kaso ang kakapal nilang magpabayad ng penalty gayung di naman napapakinabangan yung connection nila. my line of work is mostly in the internet peo naka Smart Broadband ako kasi super bagal ng globe sa ngayon. daig pa namin naka dial up sa sobrang bagal.
