Not another PLDT post
I’ve been missing in action again for a few weeks because of my re-addiction to the World of Warcraft, which later got screwed by my internet connection, hosted by none other than..
PLDT
Let’s review somethings..
“Please note that it is possible for you to not reach your maximum speed even if you follow the above guidelines. On average, you should be able to experience at least 60% of your maximum speed. This is because there are other factors affecting speed beyond the control of both PLDT and the subscriber.
For example, the website you are visiting may be congested because of the number of visitors it is currentlu serving depending on the time of day. It also depends on the number of “hops” or the network of routers data must travel from your computer to a destination server to retrieve your request. It there are too many hops or if the network is congested on any of these hops, it will affect your online performance.”

True, your internet connection is synonymous to a CPU’s uptime, it’s best utilized when similar devices are up to speed as well. What’s hilarious is that this 60% thing APPLIES to all internet entities, even those you would expect to be at their peak performance (World of Warcraft game servers to me).
I’ve shut my mouth for several good months now, PLDT’s been a great host, and I pay my bills on time to compensate.
Now I re-wish that the whole company gets cancer and dies in a fire.
IT’S NOT FUNNY.
That’s why the freak flag must be raised again..
http://www.petitiononline.com/pldtdsl/petition.html – this is something I started long ago to knock up some heads, and it worked; it was good.
I’m going to borrow a line from the last page, this is what Jelly Angel wrote:
PLDT DSL is the worst kind of service you will ever find. The continually advertise to get more subscribers, but they have probably five persons to service repairs for 20,000 subscribers. And yeah, their tech support, Infocom is just a bunch of liars who have been trained to do two things: eat crap everyday for a living and memorize the lies they are supposed to feed customers…that is, if customers are actually able to get them on the phone.
Just last month I would disregard what this person said because I was having the time of my life –a FULL 5Mbit connection, of course, it had to go sometime. Now I’m back on my feet, sympathetic for myself and everyone else in this damned service.
Yeah, we need the freak flag back.
I’m not going to rant much, so I present to you.. an internet rebel’s friend..
A MOVING GIF OF HATE!
