台風がマニラ首都圏を襲った年々、家庭の電子機器に大きな被害が出たことはありませんでした。それが今週末、台風フランクがマニラを直撃するまでです。すべてはフランクのせい—都市全体で停電が発生し、私のDSLモデムが壊れてしまいました。

電源が復旧したとき、PLDTから提供された私の回線用のSpeedStream 5100ADSLモデムを除けば、すべてが正常に見えました。その厄介な機器は再び起動しません。何の反応もなし、ゼロです。おそらく焼損してしまったのでしょう。

すでにPLDTのカスタマーサービスに報告し、モデムを新しいモデルに交換すると約束されました。早く届くことを願っています—明日のような形で。

そうでなければ、自分でバックアップ用のDSLモデムを購入しようと考えています。安く入手できる場所をご存知の方はいらっしゃいますか？

その間、私はスマートの 3G に毎日 300 ペソ以上を費やす可能性があります。

Why not dareglobal? That’s actually the modem PLDT gave me when I subscribed to myDSL 2 years ago. O___O

First to check usually during this kind of situation is the power supply. Why don’t you invest in those lightning arrested type extension power cables, their quite affordable and not only arrest lightnings, it’s mainly for surge currents and voltage spikes, a fraction of the cost of an AVR which may or may not have the arrester function…

Just a suggestion for all techies out there…

i hope they will not replace your modem with dareglobal db 108

Thanks for the tips everyone.

PLDT Tech went here in the afternoon to fix the problem. The power adapter got busted. I’m up and running now.

Ouch, thats really a pain in the neck.

Sorry to hear this news… the unexpected always has a way of surprising us…

noemi · 18 years ago

can’t you ask PLDT to replace it? Just say it conked out?

Maybe the power surge destroyed it. Lauren’s smart bro modem oozed clear liquid a few weeks ago. Ugh it even burned the adaptor. So now the new modem supplied by Smart Bro is now attached to an AVR.

Something might have went wrong when there was a brownout then power came back to her modem.

Our PLDT modem is okay so far . It’s a Zyxel.

I’m glad I shut our home network down for the duration of Frank’s yelping and howling yesterday afternoon. This is precisely the sort of thing I wanted to avoid (or HDD crashes/data loss)

If you’re ok with pre-owned gear, I think there are still lots of DSL modem/routers available on tipidpc.com. You might even get lucky and find a brand-new one being offered for sale.
