Slow Internet Connection makes my day.

I'm so frustrated earlier. Our Internet connection is very slow at the moment. It was started early this morning. I wanted to call my service provider then my youngest Brother told me that all PLDT subscribers are having the same issue with Fiber. Oh, I think I hate this Fiber thing already. This causes much of problems recently. I don't know until when it will be okay. I badly need a fast Internet connection at the moment. Do you have issue's with your Internet connection as well? For my Kababayan?

I have PLDT (copper) on my house and every after an hour the internet went off and usually it takes 10-15 minutes until my internet restored. I'm not quite sure until when we will encounter the issue since they can't fix the issue nowadays because they don't have enough manpower

@JustBhem Most of their employees are doing protest right now due to contractual issues, and I think up to this moment the issue is still there because I only see few PLDT vans unlike before

I don't think they don't have enough manpower, I think they lack consistency and they are very irresponsible. How come? They are one of the companies who earn a lot and most of the Internet provider came with them.

Fiber optic is supposed to be faster and less problems. I get so frustrated with slow internet or computer issues as well. Today during my son's cyber school the first two hours the websites we needed to use were not working.

That's what I thought. That is why some of my neighbors are using Fiber optic already and still having the same issue, sometimes causes the issue. That is bothering.

You may want to ask the provider regarding this issue. It's one way of letting them know that you're experiencing a problem.

I was about to call their customer service when my Brother told me that our neighbor's Internet cafe is also experiencing the same thing as well as the others so that means it's placed issue. Then I saw a noticed later right after the connection back that they will cut the Internet connection for the meantime because the Fiber line from Bukidnon was broken, again.

@rachz_kisses It should be like that and to think we pay on time deserve this kind of treatment from them.

@JustBhem oh! That's bad news. PLDT shouldn't charge you for the days their system went down.

My internet’s just fine, Bhem. But I have this thought of switching. I have heard Converge is the fastest internet provider today.

I haven't heard of that. There is no other connection here in our place. Only we have PLDT and cable connection. And since I'm working online and home-based I need DSL connection.

It will affect us all especially if we are all relying on the Internet.

PLDT runs fast like a turtle running especially during fixing a problem.
