What’s the state of the nation’s telecom industry?

Something is definitely messed up. I’ve been trying to call make a call from my mobile phone for the past half hour. None of the numbers I dialed pushed through. This is not the first time it happened.

My current ISP is using an overloaded transparent proxy. Our previous ISP can’t stand up to the minimum bandwidth speed.

Add the heat to the formula and you get a grumpy JP. I’m trying to setup a proxy to temporarily solve my ISP problems.

Are we doomed? What’s your ISP? Who’s your mobile phone’s provider? Are you satisfied with their services?

P.S. I’m hitching on my neighbor’s access point at the moment.

We can't do anything about the undersea cables but have you heard of PLDT's NGN? I read numerous complains about the service. It's also the people who are incompetent. Also, the switch (belonging to Globelines/Innove) at our area is brand new if I'm not mistaken.

It really makes me wonder if we can compete with India.

I do agreee....

It is easier to complain on our part but it is really hard to fix underground cables (mostly this is were the problem originates)

Yeah I'm aware of the link that got busted. But these ISPs can afford to get more servers for their proxies if they choose to take that route. It'll probably take only 200 accounts to buy a new server.

I guess this is really how it is with big companies. The execs will sacrifice the quality of service just to keep their bloated salaries. Hmmmm.. I would've done the same if I were in their position. Oh well.

Lack of budget for new systems..

2 weeks ago almost every ISP in the country including Dial-up accounts had international link problems like what happened after the Taiwan Quake..

Overloaded...........
