(This is the first installment of my 2-part Special Post, covering nasty tricks done by my ISP Provider.)
Remember the first time you had your internet connection? Well, I’ve just got my very first internet connection last June 14, 2008. I applied to [Company X]’s 1Mbps Plan with Landline worth Php1, 299. I intended to use the plan as my mean of finding potentials on how to make money online.
The first few days of surfing were superb. I simultaneously browse the net while downloading needed applications thru torrents. I can even open multiple browser windows for my YouTube! watching pleasures without experiencing any errors in connection. Everything was smooth flowing. But then suddenly, everything went out of hand.
So, why am I relating this post on my making money online guides?
It’s just simple! Don’t believe [Company X]’s promise. They really s*ck! Having them as your ISP would simply make your online money making adventures, let say, TERRIBLE!!
Do you want to know why? Here are facts that I personally experienced:
- They send out requests to a proxy server.
Instead of directly accessing the internet, they channel requests to a computer server which is termed as a proxy server. If a lot of [Company X] users simultaneously use the internet, connection will surely fall down and everything will be a nightmare. Especially when registering to PTC Sites which I’m currently researching as a way to make money online.
- Their technicians are cavemen
I experienced being visited by this service crew who really doesn’t know what to do with my connection. He tried out guessing numbers for certain variables in my router, then, changed a piece of device that connects my router to the telephone line, then quickly left. Guess what? It still didn’t solve a bit of the problem. What’s worst, it made my PickJack ranking go down because I really can’t use my connection properly.
There was this moment when I confronted a technical service representative, about them diverting requests to proxy server, that he suddenly went to stutter. I was put on hold for several minutes, and got an answer that they do not proxy connections. And surprisingly, out of the nowhere, the proxy was out of sight. Their system administrators might really be that fast to precisely maneuver and cover the whereabouts of the proxy.
Have you ever experienced this one? Go share it up.
(I'll update this post the soonest I get back home. Got a meeting to attend to. Thanks)
