Update From My Internet Struggle

Prior pandemic, I was really not really in need of internet subscription. Until the Work From Home scheme was implemented due to the effects of the virus to people. I was out from work since the start of the quarantine. At work it started March 17th. Then the company sent me a PC and Wireless router. Internet expense is shouldered by them. The hunt for internet provider started before the end of March. Globe Telecom says they don't have facility near me. X Converge ICT said the same thing. X After that I stopped asking other companies because I am using the wireless wifi. Then July, the company announced the deactivation of the plan. So I started looking again. On (early) September, Skyboardband approved my application. Upon installation, the technician said there is no available internet in my area. X The agent who processed my papers said he will report it. Two weeks after, which was yesterday, the agent messaged and said he got the feedback from the report that there is really no option for their company to put internet facility. Which I am down to one last application. Good news is, my neighbor, the next door, said that he is using the PLDT internet. Now, waiting for update from PLDT. Globe Telecom X Converge ICT X Skyboardband X PLDT ? Will I get good news from PLDT or another X?

PLDT has the widest coverage among all four that you mentioned. The only question is that will it be a DSL or fiber connection for you.

@jobelbojel you can actually check in PLDT's website. You just have to type in your address.

I totally feel you. It must be so frustrating when you try over and over again go get internet but your location unfortunately doesn't have any internet facility. When I live in Venezuela, it happened the same.

It is frustrating. I am planning to move to my brother's apartment in another province.

@jobelbojel If that solves the issue, then you should do it.

I hope someone will come through for you. Believe me I know about bad internet. All the providers around here, are bad, expensive, or both!

Can you use your internet via your tapping into your phone connection?

Yes, I bought the Globe prepaid but that is not the requirement. They need wired connection.
