At 9:30 am, Bayantel DSL lineman arrived to our place, while Randy and I were chatting.

In spite of tough assurance that the problem wasn't on our side, the kids advised me to let the guy pull out my workstation and checked all wirings. Then, the guy left and told us he will check physical lines outside the building.

At 11:43 am, two linemen arrived with their tools. They clipped their detector to DSL cable and off they went downstairs. I went to the balcony and took pictures of what they were doing. In case, they made mistakes, I have evidence. Well, I had bad experiences with Bayantel guys working on phone lines and cables. I was still then a PLDT DSL subscriber when one of their guys cut off my line and erased PLDT name off the box and steal it. Three days I didn't have internet and phone line that time. I found out only about it when PLDT lineman showed me that a Bayantel phone line was hooked up in my PLDT box!

Anyway, at 12:09 pm. our DSL line is back. I dropped my dialup internet access and ran Skype. Randy and I voice chatted and able to pray again. I can barely remember, though, what have caused the interruption of DSL service... and, whether I will get rebates for the inconvenience or not, I still have to call their accounting department.
