ISP Discussion and Q&A thread
#1
I decided to make this thread since I saw no proper place to pester anyone with questions regarding ISPs.

If you have info, news, questions and answers to post, just do so Smile


On to my agenda. I texted a PLDT saleslady, asking her about technical stuff regarding getting a DSL line. I asked for the first-time fee, monthly fee, and so on.

She told me the basics, but especially mentioned that I need a phone line if I want the connection to be stable, since..
Quote: (Through shorthand text) Sir pag may kasamang line anytime maganda access ng internet, not like internet lang depende sa signal yun at kapag hindi maganda ang weather pangit din ang access

Is there any truth to this? I am certain that there are problems with the connection due to whatever reason, but the way she said it is like telling me that a phone line is required for a good connection, and if I don't get it I will probably Sad all day.

I am quite aware of the possible problems that I may encounter from this internet connection, but I seriously doubt that a phone line will help.

Or maybe they're trying to bundle the phone in with the connection service, and I don't need it. Ayaw ko magbayad ng bulag para sa serbisyo na hindi ko naman kailangan.

On another note, my bullshit detector seems to be working again.
