the telcos suffered after the quake coz most of them were using links to the WWW that pass thru HK or JPN using the legacy sub cables of APCN2, APCN and SMW3.

Asianetcom was able to restore global IP traffic in 10 hours. As a result, most of these local telcos rushed to Asianetcom for very much needed capacity…..which helped Smart, PLDT, Digitel, ETPI and Bayantel

Just my 2 cents.

If that foreign ISP would come to the philippines, as Allan from England suggested, I’d be glad to switch providers. This country seriously needs “global competition”.

However, that Chinese company mentioned that they were planning to upgrade the region’s data cables from MB/S to TerraB/s.

Bottomline is – with competition, customers are bound to get more bang for their bucks.

With the service disruption, slow speed, (265 kbps) will there be a cancelation of charges or are the subscribers to pay for poor speed below what is promised by pldt as “an act of god” or will god pay!
OZ allready pays much more than subscribers in Manila!

I have been using a smart roaming number here in canada for quite sometime loading regularly as required to maintain it.After the Taiwan earthquake, my access was cut off and was partially restored after the New Years Day. I can finally receive text messages from globe communication subscribers thru my smart roaming number BUT NOT FROM SMART SUBSCRIBERS. I can send text messages from my local (canadian) cell phone to globe subscribers and it works BUT text messages for smart subscribers cannot be received. I have spoken to my providers here and the smart roaming partner(same company) and I was assured that their system works well. I had someone verified my number in one Smart Communication center and was told that my account is active and their system is working. Am I going to believe them and wait? Im confused and desperate for answer.
Thank You.

I have to locations in Cebu on PLDT and and office in Manila, we experience slow downs from 26th, loss of IP phone connectivity since, IM’s down completely, we use Kiwitalk for IP, normally I blame them and at first could not understand what was going on until I spoke to others and tested bandwith in Cebu.

How are companies like People support etc coping, they use IP routing for call’s and yes we had the same response from PLDT…

Unfortunately it’s the Pinoy way of business as in many cases, of course its the Philippine “yes” which often means “I dont know” it will be fixed when they get around to it, in the mean time Im pretty sure half the nation just think they have a bad connection, my wife was told give it a week or so it should get better, it’s busy of Christmas !

Un Real ! A golden opportunity awaits foreign investment, but then who would want to operate in the 3rd most corrupt country in the world, or invest – asside from that, I have nothing bad to say about the Philippines, I’m just glad all my egg’s are not in one basket and my core business is here in the UK where I have a choice.

I’m hoping it’s gona atleast be fixed by 24th Jan, I’m flying in on business and need email access.
