Its monday, great sun, great morning, but all else was lost when I found out I cannot have my bath this morning because there is no water, I can’t even have a good face wash because we don’t stock water in my apartment. Our subdivision don’t have water tanks to stock water either. Few minutes after, there was no electricty. What else can I do, i went to office to check if there’s electricity there and maybe have my bath there. Fortunately we have water and electricity, but was went dead again after few hours. It goes on, then dead again.

Transco, state owned firm for power infrastructure management earlierreportedd that there has been technical problems encoutered in one of its installations in Bukidnon.

FYI Last week, Australia release a travel advisory that terrorists are in the adavance stages of attack to hit power utilities and installations in Mindanao. It has been stated also that the attack is imminent and can happen anytime. I can’t help but think if these are happening , is it the reasons why we had these multiple power failures . I just pray its not.

I have been bogging about our Bayatel DSL sufferings for quite sometime and if you are living in Davao City proper and planning to subscribe for a business account, require higher bandwidth, or works on a not the usual browsing stuff,  you really have to think about it many times. Bayantel DSL here really sucks!

Its funny we have something here in our office called 4 o’clock habit. Its the time when our internet connection goes out for control, always disconnected, or runs very very slow. Its more manageable now since we are working now on our local server. Before when we’re using a development server outside the Philippines, it was really hell working with  connection like this. Very unproductive and frustrating. We have called their attention countless times but I think they can’t do anything about it.

The good news is… Innove a.k.a Globe Broadband already burying down their broadband lines across majors streets in Davao City. Last week I have seen them putting up the cable lines and control boxes along Jacinto Extension.

Bayantel’s tag line “Satisfaction Guaranteed” is a boo boo, better it be “Bayan-termittent, dissatisfaction guaranteed”. Bayantel is just about to lose one customer, that’s us!
