Internet Problems

June 09, 2009 By: jill Category: ESL Tutor 1 Comment →

Before we moved to this house, our internet connection used to be Globe DSL @1 Mbps. I was so glad that ever since I used it I never encountered any problems. Unless there is really no connection.

But now that we are here, we have to use the old PLDT phone line as well as the internet connection that has less 1 Mbps attached to it for some practical reasons. I may have been impatient at times with Globe but when I encountered PLDT, my patience has really gone a very long, long way. It feels like the connection was 5 or 10 years ago when I was in early 20s. Worst was, I am on my second day of my part time job as an Online Tutor. I can’t even receive and make a call through Skype. It had been a disastrous meeting with my students in our ‘homemeeting classroom”. I was expecting an almost fully-booked schedule but I had missed my first 3 students because of the failure in the internet connection.

Since we are two people who are truly and certified internet users both for pleasure and work, our planned solution then is to keep still this old PLDT connection and subscribing to Globe’s DSL pack priced Php999.00. It’s better than losing a job that I like and I love.

In this way, when one has a problem there is still another available. Let’s just hope that they won’t both get problems at the same time.
