Channels that your Cable TV should have!

Online streaming such as HooQ, Netflix, and other  online streaming sites made us take control on movies to watch, or what content should you watch. It certainly is the future of television, but it still can't replace the old fashioned cable TV for home because of some technicalities that are so hard to understand. Cable TV is a good thing to have at home. Cable TV provides us entertainment packages for us to see at our own Television Set. The only difference between Cable TV and Online streaming is the content shown at the same moment. HooQ and other online sites offers you to watch what your heart desired at any moment of the day... as long as you have internet connection.  Unlike in Cable TV, if you are tuning in a series, you have to wait for a specific time to follow the story of the series that are you following. It's a mere fact that Cable TV providers are providing pre-set channel combination for your cable TV package these package are the basic ones. Even tho

Is your 1Gig Internet Daily Data Allowance Enough for You?

30GB monthly data allowance for Philippines Major ISP's cheapest internet plan  In this world, it is a fact that " the cheapest will never be the best" .  People have to pay more to get more. This is what society and corporate companies taught us. Wherein, in order for us to get the best internet connection for home, we need to pay higher monthly premium for us to get faster internet. Does it means that "cheap" is substandard? It is a question of how you "utilize" your connection.  Due to lack of product information on a said internet package , we tend to get the "cheapest" one since it's still an internet connection and we think that the connection given to us will be sufficient enough to maximize our internet needs.  This is one common problem for subscribers  like us, we tend to rush signing up for the cheapest internet package without knowing if the certain packages suites our need, or it's just good for one perso

Top 5 Things Pinoy Netizens do on the Internet

There are different types of person as they say, but in pinoys' case? We aren't so that different at all! We live in a society where we do follow the trends, (since it's cool) but still, we do have the same some activities that makes us globally trend. Why do we trend? Because we love internet so much. We so love the internet that we spend most of our time browsing social media sites. Internet is the future of television, radio and print advertisement mixed in one halo-halo bowl. It's the "hollywood-dream-in-a-can" and It's also the reason why many people would die just to be on the trending list of twitter. It's not so shocking to see #aldub in the worldwide trends of Twitter. I myself am not a fan of the said love team, but it is quite amusing to see that  Pinoy can be a top hashtag on a overly populated and famous twitter. It proved that pinoy can voice out their messages to the world, in such way that proved that we are powerful when it comes

Research Before you sign up for any Internet Connection for your Home!

Alright, to start things off, I just had a new internet connection at home and I fckin hate it. It's the pesky P***** which I don't want to mention for the sake of their reputation and honor.   I was supposed to enjoy this connection since I turned away from Globe (even though we endured the last 3 years) due to the never ending connectivity and instability issues I am experiencing every 8:00pm to 11:00pm. A golden time in which I treasure since I am playing DOTA2 at those hours. Then, one day, my connection got cut because my brother didn't  informed us that he didn't pay the last 2 months of billing in which they cut us off. I had no complains with the disconnection since it was our own fault not paying the bill, And in myself I was thinking that its the right time to change from the "SLOW" and "UNSTABLE" into an affordable, and  "DECENT" internet connection for our home. I had slow connection before, and now It's time to set th

Do you know what CIR (Committed Information Rate) is?

In the Converge ICT's FTTX plan, the Committed Information Rate (CIR) is displayed as "Minimum Speed" There are many things our Internet Service Providers won't just tell us. Some of it are just "little jargons" in which we cannot totally understand, though some are very crucial when it comes to the impact to "us", subscribers. In a good way, it'll save us the trouble understanding the technicalities of network and communication. But in a bad way, not knowing these "technicalities" limits our capability to maximize our usage. One of the hidden terms that our ISP failed to disclose in their ads is the CIR "Committed Information Rate."   It is important to know what CIR is especially when it acts as a "guarantee" that the internet connection will be having it's minimum bandwidth that the users can utilize in the plan.  Why is it important to know what is CIR? It's plainly simple, it gives the user ass
