Now it's a 50-50 whether I can go to to PACT II or not. Just got here in San Juan about 6am. Before, it was 100-0, but still there's also a big chance I won't be able to go.

Fuck that, ayaw umalis ng dad ko sa Globe. 'Til now Globe CANNOT fix my problems regarding i-net speed.
I have also read someone's post (he's a pinoy) from a random site that when YOU test the i-net speed at their respective servers (whether you're using globe or PLDT or bayantel, etc), it's okay, but when you test it at the other sites like speedtest.net, which is international, is ALWAYS 60% or EVEN below the original speed.
The companies have been trying to screw with customers since I've been wondering for all these months why the hell would my internet slow down a LOT. I even used dial-up so I could compare what the fucking hell is going on with Globe. Guess what, BOTH of them have the SAME SPEED when it comes to browsing except for youtube. I even tried playing a bunch of OL games and dial-up EVEN seems to go faster than Globe's broadband.
I always call Globe about the speed. The service dudes look at the speed of their servers, and they say it's normal because I get the normal speed whenever I test it there. What pisses me off is that WHENEVER I look at speedtest or any other international speed test connection, IT IS ALWAYS 60% or EVEN BELOW. Globe signal is always good here and connection is also good. Fuck that.

I dunno man. I'm pretty happy with my Globe connection so far. I'm paying for 384kbps but I'm getting speeds up to 600+kpbs. Just last night, I was downloading a vid and the DL rate was hitting 80+KB/s. I've also been playing StarCraft on Battle.net with people in the U.S. for the past few weeks without much lag WHILE running bit torrent.
Maybe it really depends where you're situated. Try getting cable broadband instead of DSL.
Sky's 512kpbs is also at 999 per month
