To those who have deadlines to meet and clients to maintain, no amount of reasoning can make the world stop and wait for you to finish. For each day that we are fed with crappy internet connection, we lose customers. We lose revenue. If this will keep going on for another month, I'll probably lose my job.

I'm afraid the threshold is closer than I thought. Inquirer reports that repairs to quake-hit asia internet cables are delayed again which would take until the end of February to finish blaming bad weather and other technical difficulties.

We're having technical difficulties too. Servers dying due to high usage. There are things that needed ironing and they're not going to wait. In other parts of the world, business is usual. They tend to view things from their own perspective. They're not concerned how our internet connection here are. They're concerned about how their business is doing. If we couldn't show reliability in terms of service, we couldn't stop them from getting it elsewhere. Programmers in India will happily do my work for half my pay. Yeah, my clients will love that.

As if internet dependent industries in Asia haven't lost considerable amount of productivity and revenue from the damaged submarine data cables, newly discovered damage to the cables leaves us no choice but to lose more productivity.

Newly discovered earthquake damage to undersea cables and bad weather could delay the complete restoration of Asian Internet services until next month, telecom officials said Wednesday.

My Broadband/DSL plan with Globelines will be due next month. I'm thinking of switching provider. Perhaps Bayantel or PLDT's MyDSL. I don't have any idea how the last two perform but I read a lot of negative comments about MyDSL. I don't know if the same is the case here in Iloilo City.

I've been happy with Globelines Broadband even with the troubles I get from them three months ago when claim (Did they really?) to upgrade speeds. Other than that they were good. I thought about changing because I'm on their express plan 899 (Php 899) from their promo and from what I understood, I will be charged the regular price of (Php 1,495) after 1 year. Although, the 1 mbps the plan 1,495 offers is tempting, I don't have a need for that much speed yet.
