    Yeah I'm aware of the link that got busted. But these ISPs can afford to get more servers for their proxies if they choose to take that route. It'll probably take only 200 accounts to buy a new server.

    I do agreee....

    It is easier to complain on our part but it is really hard to fix underground cables (mostly this is were the problem originates)

    We can't do anything about the undersea cables but have you heard of PLDT's NGN? I read numerous complains about the service. It's also the people who are incompetent. Also, the switch (belonging to Globelines/Innove) at our area is brand new if I'm not mistaken.

    It really makes me wonder if we can compete with India.
