Damn it! Sorry but i can’t help but curse PLDT MyDSL now, a few hours before Christmas eve. I can’t believe what i just saw on our telephone bill! Sheesh its been only a month now since i subscribe to the PLDT MyDSL Xperience plan. I had no choice. I’m sick of dial-up and i badly needed a faster speed. I tried Globe broadband, ZPDEE, BayanDSL but my area wasn’t covered yet so i had no choice but to have PLDT MyDSL. So i gave in and since day 1 here are my rants:

1. At first i got pissed with the technicians who broke my computer. They accidentally installed a driver from my mobo which conflicts with my video card and so i had the dreaded black screen and had to reformat my pc right then and there. Then they told me my mobo ethernet port has a problem and was trying to sell me a P800 lan card. Do they think i’m stupid? first, my mobo port is working, the driver isn’t just installed. Second, a 800 pesos lan card? hell with them.

2. Since day 1, its either after 1 hour, or after 3 hours, and lucky if i its after 7 hours that i encounter the “dead connection” problem where my connection suddenly dies but you’ll see that the connection says “connected” and i have to restart my computer to have it working again. So much hassle specially since i can’t leave a download working overnight.

3. The worst thing ever - the bill! I was expecting the P999 bill and the 1k modem fee and other little fee on my first month of subscription. But what surprised me when i read our telephone bill for November-December is this “MyDSL period covered: 12/01/2007 - 13/01/2008 P10,732.29″- now where the hell did they get this ?!?!?!?!?!!

Surely.. if there was any other choice for a DSL connection, i would never ever have chosen PLDT!!!
