It’s one and a half hours till quitting time1, and I’m supposed to be writing a service description for this new project but instead, I’m blogging. Bah. My brain still shuts down before 5:00pm — see!
So why am I spending office time blogging? It’s because we’ve had no internet access at home for FOUR DAYS and counting. >:( Sunday, our connection was okay, but starting Monday, we cannot browse any websites at all. We can connect, yes, and in fact, my WiFi connection is even Excellent or Very Good. But when I check the connections, we are not receiving any packets. It’s like for every 1000 packets our computer sends, we only receive 7 packets back.
FYI, our DSL provider is PLDT myDSL. We subscribed to it because it’s “better” than dial-up, and it has been working quite well since November. Sure, there are slow days but they’re pretty manageable, and even if it is slow I could still do some browsing. This is the first time we’ve experienced this, and it’s really, really annoying because it’s been four days and I don’t see any chance of this clearing up soon. Plus, I asked other people who also have DSL and they’re not experiencing the same problem as we have…so what’s wrong? I’ve turned off the modem and the router, disconnected and reconnected and did all sorts of things to have it work…but it’s not. :( Hay.
Yes, that shows how much of an Internet addict I am, and how much I still need the Internet even if I spend it all online all day. :P Thank goodness for Heroes. :P Yay.
But I would have to cut this post for now, because it’s quitting time. :) Wahoo. PLDT Support, you will get a call from me later!
UPDATE (5/11/2007): I called PLDT Customer Service yesterday and it wasn’t such a bad experience (yet). I checked the connection yesterday by connecting my laptop directly to the modem instead of the router and I got Limited or no connectivity, for all LAN cables and LAN ports. I got this checked and they said they’re going to check if the problem is on the network side or the modem. I’m expecting a call today and I hope they do call because it’s the weekend and I need my Internet!
- Gah. We have 9.6 working hours here. :/ At first I didn’t really mind but after a while you start missing seeing the sun whenever you go out in the afternoon [«]
Sana maayos na yan, I know how that can be a drag.. Thank goodness for Heroes indeed. I just watched episode 21 last night. w00t! :)
Hay, what can you expect from PLDT? PLDT has got to have the worst customer support my family and I have ever encountered. Tapos DSL pa, sighs.
Good luck. Sana nga maayos na yung connection niyo. :)
Joni: I’m only at Episode 11. Hahaha Peter Petrelli = ♥
Shari: I’ve been warned, but PLDT is the only one available in our area. Sabi ko nga, hindi ako nagtataray, pero pag Internet na yan, tatarayan ko na! =))
can’t you use the “Captain” via SMART 3G internet?
Ngayon bayantel na ang talaga ang pag-asoa ko dahil sa kuwento mo.

PS: di ba may may isusulat ka para sa akin? =)
Have the exact same problem… around the same time… try this out… plug your modem connection straight to your machine. Make sure you have antivirus and firewall enabled. You should get an Ip almost straight out. If you plug it back to the router then the same thing.
I got it solved by buying a new modem but until recent im getting this problem again. I am looking at the net for answers when i ran into this.

basically saying plan999 is for single computers only. If Pldt did find a way then they are forcing people wiht routers to make the jump to a 3k plan.
