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.

Things I do when net is down

I usually plug in my Laptop and go online everytime I wake up in the morning but today is different. No internet connection, down? Not really. We have not paid for the bill yet because of some reason, like losing your wallet with your ATM in it. That sucks.

Internet is like my life. I spend most of the time in front of my laptop reading news, blogs, etc and just surfing till i get tired. Anyway, here’s a list of things that I do everytime our internet is down.

1. Play Sudoku
Fuck me if you don’t what sudoku is and how to play it. Yeah! I know, it’s really addictive. I installed it in my nokia n73 phone so that I could play whenever I’m bored or just have nothing to do.

2. Sleep
Yeah! Who doesn’t want sleep? I mean, we really all need it and we have to thank the ISP because we get to sleep coz of that internet connection.

3. Design
No internet. Uh oh. Ok. It’s time to design. Usually my creativity works when I’m alone and I hate it when I’m online because it’s tempting to like open your browser and surf than designing graphics.

4. Go out and chat with friends
Like I’ve said I spend most of my time in front of my laptop so going out is like going offline. When internet is down, go out, chat, play, do the things you love most except surfing the net. Really helps to relieve stress and just a good thing to pass time.

5. Dial up mode.
This happens when you are really desperate to go online. But you got so fucked up because its fucking slow, so you text while waiting for the page to load or do those other things that you do till the page loads.

I did not include calling the ISP because it sucks. You know what I mean huh?

Anyway, those are the things. You might wanna try it. It’s really effective because while you’re doing those you wouldn’t know that time passes by so quickly.

speedtest.net: my destiny rocks my socks

I noticed lately that My destiny’s speed become stable since the last earthquake in Taiwan. I mean, i’ve been checking it once in awhile to see if there is a change in download and upload speed but luckily it stays on the range of 2000 - 2400 kb/s for the download speed and 300-400 kb/s for the upload speed which is above average compared to our areas speed and other ISPs.

Downloading using torrent client is faster than before, It usually takes me 2 hours to download an entire movie (750mb or higher) during off peak hours. Direct downloads is fair enough. However, I have not tried online games for like months so I couldn’t say if its good or is still lagging.

Tomorrow I’ll be doing a series of speed tests to see if my destiny’s connection has become stable and I will post the screenshots here.

Kudos to My destiny cable internet Team for a job well done, though it took them months to stabilize the connections. Teehe!
