I hate my ISP

Tuesday, May 30, 2006

Hatred is a sin but what can I do? There is nothing annoying than paying a PLDT DSL Subscription Plan myDSL XCEL with a promise of 2 mbps bandwidth speed upgrade and I didn't get it, and worse, since my account had been upgraded last 19th of this month, my agony with my DSL broadband internet started. Who will believe that my bandwidth speed was only 4 kbps most of the time, just enough to connect me to Yahoo chat? I cannot retrieve my mails nor browse pages without using PLDT VIBE dialup internet. PLDT DSL has been a nightmare to all its affected subscribers!

Meanwhile, due to bad internet connection, I was unable to collect my Neopets freebies and Neobank interests. Also, I failed to buy ideas in Blogshares and carry out my usual trading in the shares market. Hopelessly staring at the monitor screen hoping DSL bandwidth speed will restore its normal speed I paid for, I created »-(¯`v* NEAT Strategies *v´¯)-», a Blogshares corporation I founded to recruit BS players who wish to team up with good players who want nothing but a neat gaming strategies without hurting other players. Loading pages had been a painful task but, I managed to add it to the corporations founded by other BS players.

Am waiting for Randy to come online, and he will be upset again since we cannot use SKYPE to voice chat with each other. I missed watching Deal or No Deal this afternoon because PLDT DSL is a Deteriorated Subscriber Line.

butterfly Let me know you were here, your thoughts are welcome!

This is getting really old. I saw the post by Andrei and if they did indeed do this then they need to be exposed to the press.

The last three weeks have been terrible for us. I know you did not pay for 2 days of good connectivity a week. It seems they have everyone on a rotation.

You get Internet for two days then down the rest of the week, then back up for two days and down again.

They need to be exposed so you should notify that investigator guy on the news. You should not have to pay for a service you are not getting. This is ridiculous, and yes I am angry, but not at you.

Thank God we can get enough bandwidth in the afternoon to say the rosary when I get home from work.

Keep pestering them on the phone and complain to anyone you think will help.

Laila, almost all PLDT DSL subscribers have a cap on their bandwidth allocation to prevent more complaints. Like for example, all Plan 999 subscribers now only have a download speed of 180kbps.

Kasi they have oversubscribed their service. If not controlled, mas marami walang connection.

Ganyan talaga gawa ng GREED.

Although, you can get a faster DSL service by asking around kasi there is a syndicate inside PLDT that will sell you a faster DSL account guaranteed.

Siguro nga other people's account. I dunno
