I would have if it wasn't true.  This could almost rate as an article in the Onion.

I dunno. Been happy to see Internet service slowly improve over the years here and it seems fine now. The congested urban areas have a problem though. I think it's a population explosion problem more than a technological problem. They should focus on getting population growth under control.That's the real issue.

PLDT Fibr was spotty for awhile, back to normal now.

BUT, probably for those who can't afford the 2K a month a real problem with outages / bandwidth

It's not a matter of "can't afford". For most of us.. PLDT Fibr is just not available still.  I pay 1500 peso for 3mbps with Globe landline ..  the only landline service available here.

DITO, the third telecom, is having lockdown problems getting their July launch launched. They could be a game changer or just have the usual mediocre and intermittent service and silly promos. It's a wait-and-see.

I do know they're cashed up. They've already paid my missus for twenty-year leases on three mountaintops.

I'm getting the slight impression they may be getting hampered by government regulation i.e. everyone wants a taste.

So they have a Senate hearing to discuss government inhibition of the telecom industry? And the Wi-Fi doesn't work.

Monty Python skit in the cheese shop comes to mind.
