PLDT NGN

This whole Quake-Internet problem made me rethink of getting a second internet line, backup of sorts. My life and business rely heavily on the internet. Destiny's fast, but whenever there are IPL-related problems, their service sucks. They lack the proper backup lines to serve their subscribers. Unlike PLDT DSL and Bayantel DSL subscribers, I still cannot access a lot of international sites, including my emails from Yahoo and Google.

The poster above is a new service for PLDT, called NGN. For P888/mo, you get a landline plus DSL connection bundled together. I called PLDT 171 a few minutes ago and the CSR told me that the NGN service is only available in limited areas. And if I wanted to apply, I needed to go to the nearest business center for more info and to know if we could retain our telephone number. Our PLDT line has been active since the 1960s and this is vintage material.

According to Inquirer.net, this internet outage might last for 3 weeks or more. Must go to PLDT tomorrow. Need internet. Dammit.
