Nawawala siya ng ilang oras sa umaga at hapon at mas lalo na pag 9 pm to 12 pm so hindi worthy na gamitin. I plan to change my ISP na nga eh. Do you know a good ISP na? Maganda ba ang Smartbro or Globe Broadband dito sa Davao? Bago lang kasi ako dito.

They do not deliver what they sell you. My download speed for DSL is 219kbps when it should be 550kbps. The Upload speed is 181kbps when it should be 208kbps.It also has intermittent connection so you have to reset the router box. Also they lie a great deal and when you ask to cancel your service they won't and just keep charging your credit card. You have to file a dispute with your credit card company, file a report with the attorney generals office in your state and the state of Utah where isp.com is located and send copies of the advertisement that lured you into their services, copies of all your correspondence and a copy of their terms of service agreement. It would be the same for any server that your have issues with and want to pursue legal action on.Ms June Starnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8156296596856068736.post-35453018008211284312008-11-10T08:27:00.000+08:002008-11-10T08:27:00.000+08:00Steve Reagan,thank you so much for your opinion th...Steve Reagan,<BR/><BR/>thank you so much for your opinion that was informative...

If you leave it idle for 5 mins or more then 90 percent of the time you lose the connection and have to reset - what an appalling service.<BR/><BR/>I got it for work in Australia and have given up on it. Its so bad i have been tempted to throw the router at the wall several times. Its a total disgrace.

ISPs are hesitant to upgrade or spend more money for the backbone connection especially that the number of subscriber aren't that high and only few ISP running the show in your area, hence no tight ISP competition at all. In India were some people are rich and some are really poor, they have a lot of choices. They can get cheap but slow and high latency internet connection if budget is an issue and for those who can spend a bit more are lucky enough because they have so many ISPs. They have more than hundred ISPs to choose from.<BR/>http://www.indiaonestop.com/ISPS.htm <BR/><BR/>So far, the cheapest and fastest dsl internet connection is in Korea and Japan. In Japan you can get less than 4,000 yen or less than 40 USD for VDSL connection that have 100mbps up and downlink. <BR/>http://www.ntt-east.co.jp/product_e/05/index.html <BR/>https://asahi-net.jp/en/service/tepco/mansion.html<BR/><BR/>Nobody from Davao really answered your questions.
