In a shocking turn of events, the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) has announced that they will start reducing the internet speed of customers that complain about them online.
The largest telecommunications company in the Philippines released a statement to the press after "enduring cyber bullying on Facebook and Twitter." "We are going to throttle customers who publicly bully PLDT as a whole," said Julian Vega, a spokesperson for PLDT.
The issues began when Facebook users began posting complaints on the comments section of the PLDT Home Facebook page's posts. You can view the PLDT Home Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/PLDTHome.
A PLDT in-house technician that refused to be named said that they're cross-examining the names of the customers to the names that they post with on Facebook.
"Kung ang subscriber name niyo ay name niyo din sa Facebook, wag na kayo mag-post ng reklamo. Babagal ang internet niyo," said the technician.
............Try telling this company 'you won't take no for an answer'.
using a good lappy,ms vista and wifi from the router i get about 10 down and 3 up at a good time and a bit less when there is high use.
on this old tower server,linux mint,and a firewire direct to the router i get 38.6 down and 7.61 up.
it does demonstrate the stuff your side of the phone socket is important to get the most from what is available from your isp.
another issue (as being mentioned in the msm at the mo) is that many household electrical items can interfere with wifi causing it to repeat itself ie slow down.these include wires,speakers ,other wifi stuff (baby monitors ,doorbells etc etc) ,big metal solids etc.
so positioning the router away from interfering equipment and giving clear space between router and pooter can improve matters.
just a thought but we used a length of insulated wire ,about 20m and maybe 5mm wire iirc ,wrapped around the phone aerial a couple of times (i know that is a bit steam punk) but around the phone might work with modern ones and the rest just layed out on the ground .
i worked rather well for phones and cb walkie talkies even inside a tunnel with mass concrete and metal for a lid in a place with patchy signals.
