Ya, ketiganya sedang mati.

1) Layanan PLDT myDSL sedang turun -- tidak ada koneksi sejak pukul 22 malam tadi. Tidak ada nada sambung pada saluran telepon juga.

2) Smart Bro sedang turun -- lebih lambat dari siput sejak tadi malam. Hanya 3 dari 20 ping yang mendapatkan respons. Anda beruntung jika bisa memuat halaman utama Google.

3) Smart GPRS mati -- tidak dapat terhubung ke jaringan daw.

Sekarang, berapa peluang untuk itu?

Semua jalur telepon lainnya di wilayah tersebut juga tidak berfungsi. Terima kasih kepada Airborne Access, saya pikir saya akan berada di Bluewave sepanjang hari ini.

You can definitely see your skills in the paintings you write. The sector hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who aren’t afraid to mention how they believe. All the time go after your heart.

You name all you want of ISP’s:

Airborne Access – subsidiary of PLDT
Smart Communication – subsidiary of PLDT

The most important get a plan that has a high CIR.

Innove or Globe really sucks.

Huh, at least I’m not alone in my recent Net connection woes. I’m using Sky DSL and lately it’s been really wonky. It works okay for an hour and then everything just starts crawling till nothing would load anymore. And then when I try to reconnect, it takes me many many tries before I get online again. Aargh.

PLDT’s DNS has been up and down lately. I think I found a stable DNS server.

Try 58.69.254.133. I can’t wait for Globelines to setup the connection to our place so I can dump PLDT already.

A good example of one of the real hidden weaknesses of the Internet. So many different services and yet they always run through just a few critical choke points … and most of the providers that ‘Net users deal with don’t even know where the chokes are. In the Philippines, yes PLDT (Ma Bell’s orphaned stepchild) if often the guilty party, in the US, AT&T (Ma Bell’s ghost) owns a huge percentage of all the wires, fibers and microwave towers, still. You may contract with company X, or with company Y, but it all goes through the “Big Guy’s” pipes somewhere … and in many cases no one knows for sure.

We’ll never have the ‘Net we need, in any country, until the infrastructure is adequately disclosed, mapped and alt-routed.

Four letters. Starts with a P, ends with a T.

it’s quite possible in your case since all three seem to be under the same data network ;)

that happened to two of my ISPS . Destiny was down and so with Smart Bro. eeks, smart bro is really slow right now. Lucky you have airborne access. There’s free wifi at the Shell station near the house
