MyDestiny is so Bulok

Filed Under Broadband, Internet, my destiny | Leave a Comment

Last Monday, we had no internet connection at all until last Wednesday. All I got is nothing, no notice of temporary service disconnection or anything. Mydestiny is really fast and efficient in sending subscribers with their promos and of course monthly bills and notice of bill payment, but with regards to any service failure they’re not.

Another thing is that their technical support is so bulok/crappy. Why? Because their trunk line is not working anymore. They switched to one phone per tech support agent. You have to memorize lots of phone numbers and dial them one at a time, you’re lucky if you get on the line on just one dial. Isn’t that so bulok? If i didn’t call them I wouldn’t know that there is a problem with the lines our area.

For me, MyDestiny should give proper notice to their subscribers when something happened with their servers or whatever they call it. Well, we’ve been a subscriber for more than two years already and nothing has changed. No improvements but full of crappy service.

First of all I’d like to thank Mr Jepoy for being a nice guy and sending me this PLDT Landline Prepaid Plus sim. I already received the package and I’m gona show you some screenshots of it.

By the way, I’d like to congratulate the Bob Reyes of TurfSite Manila and Tonyo Cruz for winning Jepoy’s PLDT Landline Prepaid Plus Sim Giveaway Contest.

Anyway, I’ll try to activate it first and after that I’ll write a review about it.

Globe’s 3G Internet Services

During my stay in Riyadh, I often use Mobily’s 3g internet services. Though it’s kinda expensive, I still use it to check my mails and other stuff online. When I went back here in Manila, our myDestiny Cable internet was cut off so I have to try alternatives. One of the things I tried is using Globe’s Internet Services using my N73 phone with Globe prepaid sim. I set it up correctly using nokia’s settings wizard but when I tried using it, I always get this packet issues. I really don’t know what’s wrong with the set up or why is it not working. My question is that, is Globe’s 3g internet service really working?

I haven’t tried smart’s services yet but I do think that it is the real deal. I mean, if you are looking for an alternative say like you’re in a province or on the go, Smart is there and I’ve heard that it’s nice. Added that it’s internet service is relatively cheap(10pesos every 30 minutes).

Maybe some of you might be wondering why the hell Am i desperately in need of internet connection. Well, we are moving to dasmarinas cavite really soon. And I think the subdivision were we live is not supported by any ISPs so my alternative is using my phone and prepaid sim as my modem to connect through the intarwebs.

Anyhoo, do you guys know if there are any ISPs providing services in our Area, it’s in greenwoods subdivision dasmarinas cavite.

Thanks and Goodluck to me.

Back online

Yay! I’m back, after ten years!

Last week, there was an internet outage in Middle East and south asian countries due to a damaged cables lying under the seabed. It happened Wednesday that’s why the casualty, at first, has not noticed by home users. But businesses and call centers are much affected because of they rely on this technology. Until now, they are not sure what caused the damage and when is the internet going to be stable.

Our internet connection here in the building is not quite stable yet. Time to time I got disconnected and wait for hours to re-establish a connection. I tried to download Visual c++ 2008 express edition to test the download speed of our connection and to my surprise I downloaded it fast and encountered only one problem, that’s when I got disconnected.

Internet connectivity has been a part of each of our lives and we feel incomplete when we are not able to check our mails and do our daily tasks with the internet. It’s just frustrating trying to go online these past few days.

Update your wordpress plugins

Recently, I encountered an error after updating my wordpress to its latest version(not really, a version before the latest). An error like “wp_post2cat’ doesn’t exist”. I checked the database and compared my installed wordpress blogs if the others have post2cat table but to my surprise my other blog and this blog don’t have that table and alvin’s blog has. So I googled the error and found out that some plugins are causing this error. I have to disable every plugin and check if it fixes the problem.

Anyways, I’ve already solved the problem. It seems that Simple tags plugins, Asides plugin and other plugins which uses categories would cause this problem. The reason is that newer version of wordpress doesn’t have wp_post2cat table but uses other table name like wp_term.

Everytime you update your wordpress, make sure you check your plugins if it’s compatible with the new version and if it’s not then update your plugins as well.

By the way, this also covers wordpress themes because new version of wordpress uses different template tags.
