Since 3:30PM, internet connection was cut off. The telephone line yielded the toot-toot-toot sound and I could not even dial a number. There was no dial tone.
What I did therefore, was watch movies on DVD and later an episode of Amazing Race. i wanted to come back in this site but this time of 17:14, internet is not yet back.
Maybe the phone company is making some repairs or adjustments?
When I have posted this already, net has come back.
And it is back at 5:45PM.

@rakski yes that is why when we have no net, it could be that the network is busy or maintenance going on.

Sometimes you really feel fed up when the internet is not working properly.

@aninditasen indeed. if it is an online work, we sometimes tend to curse the ISP for doing that to us. hahaha

No internet hinders a lot of things. We had 2 days of no internet last month because of some exams in the city.

i agree. but now, i just think about the nearly 2 months of no electricity and no internet when we were devastated due to the super typhoon last 2016.

@ridingbet OMG! How difficult it is even to imagine life without electricity. Internet may be secondary but electricity!!
I am glad it's been recovered now.

Do you use PLDT also? I hate it when there's no wifi. I use my PLDT hacker when we don't have internet connection

that is true. first, i tried to put a comment, then it kept on circling(that cursor). i tried another one, then the notice of no internet connection flashed on screen. so, i lifted the mouthpiece of the phone and i heard the 'busy' tone.
