Dial-up connection really sucks! From downloading data to video streaming, you will only suffer from its very slow speed rate that may only lose your temper. Some people are contented with Dial-ups through Internet prepaid cards, but like me, who is a frequent Internet user, would rather enjoy doing any other things than surfing in a dial-up internet connection. We used to have 28 to 50 kbps Internet connection before, which is up to 20x slower than our Internet speed right now. Though in my broadband connection, we seldom experience broken connections, but it’s just rare and we should put in our minds that nothing is perfect. For years, we’ve never planned of any Internet postpaid plans until we heard from ads and from other people that broadband these days is very affordable. Globelines Broadband is one of the Internet Service Providers that caters all your needs for high-speed Internet connection.
Globelines Broadband commercial on TV really caught the attention of many viewers because of their latest Broadband package, which costs only 595 Pesos (But it’s not what we availed). Persuasive commercial ads are indeed a powerful weapon to target many viewers and consumers. With the girl’s famous line in ad “May Globe Broadband na Kami!”, really suitable to everyone who avail Globelines’ promos. When I watched their ad, I thought that their latest promo (DSL 595) is a high-speed and unlimited Internet access, because they never give more details about it. So, my cousin called their office and inquired about the promo. When we knew that it (DSL 595) is only good for 30 hours/month with a speed of 256 kbps, we just stick to Plan995 with a speed of 1mbps. As I watched Globe’s commercial ad again and again as it flashed on the TV screen, at last I saw the text written in very small letters (nearly can’t be seen), 30hours/month and 10 pesos charge for every 30 minutes after using the 30 hours. Although Plan995 is quite expensive with a one-year contract, we don’t have any choice but to accept it besides I don’t have anything to do this summer (I didn’t take summer classe. J). Other people have a lot of complains and protest in some blogs and even on youtube about the rival DSL providers like SmartBro, for their always-busy services, technical difficulties and broken connections. Though I’ve never heard of complains about Globelines and I didn’t experience broken connections just slow speed sometimes. Hehehe!
. Hehehe! But, when I received a CD of Tantra (also a game from ABS-CBN) from the university which I study, I tried to install it at home and little by little, I enjoyed it. Then, it became my pastime for more than 2 months (such a short time). I considered it as an addiction for 2-months span but I stopped playing it when my character received I think 2000 Karma points (points you get when you killed other player without hitting the DUEL mode). Karma points are disaster since other players can kill you anytime instead of killing the monsters. Players prefer killing other players, who have Karma points than the monsters for the reason of earning much higher EXP and high money. Due to innocence of the rules, I killed other players, not knowing that it was a violation equal to serious consequences. Though I reached level 50 (80 is the highest level), I didn’t wish to continue playing the game. I even try to discard my character.
