DSL connection in the works

July 17, 2006

Still not feeling 100%, so I decided to stay home and take an extra day of rest. I’m coughing a lot less now, but I still feel a bit feverish.

While surfing the net for the latest news (I haven’t bought any broadsheet for several years already), my wife reminded me of our plans to try out DSL. So I called up PLDT to apply for the service. Unlike the people I talked to when requesting for our phone line to be repaired, the one attending to my request sounded pleasant and seemed not to be irritated when answering my questions.

The whole process was over in less than 30 minutes. A service request number was given to me for reference purposes, and I was told that somebody would be checking our area if a DSL connection would be feasible. I was told that the whole process would take anywhere from 1-2 weeks (as if I don’t know that it took my parents almost a month to have theirs set up).

The only thing I’m worried about right now is the service after DSL has been installed. Would it be like what we’ve experienced with our phone line?

I hope not, or I’d be a lot more pissed.
