BossHog 38,539 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 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.Sent from my KFDOWI using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

BUT, probably for those who can't afford the 2K a month a real problem with outages / bandwidth Link to post Share on other sites

I pay 1500 peso for 3mbps with Globe landline .. the only landline service available here. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BossHog 38,539 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 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.Sent from my KFDOWI using Tapatalk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
