    They made me leave town... After I lost a fortune due to their lying and general uselessness...

    They made promise after promise without honoring any...

    Need more reasons just search Google or this forum and you will find plenty of information about that socalled "Internet provider"

    Does not make much sense to me. What can a lost internet connection for a few days or even weeks do? No backup plan to save the "fortune"? A reputible business man being chased out of town by some backyard internet provider sounds too fantastic. Why didn't you sue them? Or as a serious business man you maybe signed some contract without reading it first...? Just curious.

    Wow, Rhoody, plenty lies here already. You should at least check facts before you throw up! Good to know no more blocking. I read all the threads and the screaming "victims" are you and your friend running this "gentle" forum plus the odd posting here and there. It looks like the two of you have decided to use this Forum as a vendetta against one person and his effort to spread some internet for those who would like some. Of course wireless internet can not be 100% stable - because it is wireless. Wireless internet is internet where there is no other internet. It can't compete on price, so this regulates itself. Next: They have to buy their internet from one of the rich Filipino families, who still think internet access is a luxury and not a commodity. Fortunately this is slowly changing. Oh, I forgot the fiber network. Not paid by the President, has to be paid by the USER. Not like Europe, where infrastructure is paid for by taxes. How much tax are we foreigners paying in Philippines? Less than enough to be proud. That explains higher prices. Antenna? Check facts. You don't even pay for the antenna. Just a big ugly pole to send email above the waving palm trees (or cut the coconut trees down and save the cost!). High cost? Personally I think 1,000 pesos per month is ok for a residential connection with up to 5 computers...that is only 200 pesos per PC per month in my math.
    As far as I know, IT Outlook is alive and well, even 1 year after The Dane Event so well oded here, with many more or less happy customers. These customers use common sense and use their internet because there is a balance between demand, goods delivered and price paid. Some only need a connection for a couple months - who else can offer that? No, 12 months please, say SMART and Globe.
    But as usual, some people can never be satisfied. I understand you are angry for losing your friend but seriously, maybe he just needed someone to blame for his sudden exit, and the internet was (conveniently not) there at the time, for grabs. Oh, by the way you also lied about this "service" being tried before in Puerto Galera in one of your throw-ups. And Waynes investment. Stay with facts, Rhoody. It pays off in the long run.

    Still gentle.

    Maybe the Dane just believed the lies of that company when he consulted them while visiting Dumaguete BEFORE he moved down here.

    maybe the IT-Outlook desaster we had had Atlantis is also only my fantasy

    here are some quotes from different more or less happy customers about how alive and well IT-Outlook is. (your words) The quotes are from may and june 2008, so the saga still goes on...

    oops and another one...

    ooops again, what is that ....

    I guess the quoted posters are also liers like me and just looking for somebody to blame :rolleyes:

    IT Outlook Connectionless Internet


    Still the master of guilt displacement I see....

    I prepaid for a year with IT-Outlook after talking to their representative in Dumaguete - and hearing management being Norwegian... Stupid me for believing a word he said - that I think you got right because lying was certainly on the agenda all the time from IT Outlook...

    And when you said days / weeks of the connection not working you really mean 2-3 months right?

    When you sit in Maayong Tubig and find out your Internet provider who took money from you up front for a year stopped paying their backbone provider which of course gets them cut off... That kind of makes my blood boil...

    Then the later issue about an Internet provider trying to get residential lines from competitors and sharing them throughout the network... To try to make up for the backbone being cut off... Ridicilous...

    The following was an SMS I recieved 3-4 days in to the month long outage... I really dont see the good news for me that they managed to get their office computers online... Bear in mind this is 3-4 days in to the months long outage...
    The techies/workers who worked there(don't know if they are still there) were at the time scared of loosing their job because the inept owner ran things down the drain, so they did not have a big problem telling clients what the real problems were. So when the owner came out to the house with his big bag of hot air it was not too hard to tell who was right.

    This thread here http://www.dumagueteinfo.com/board/general-chat/outlook-internet-outage-798-2.html has a lot of goodies about IT Outlook...

    A good example of the lies we were fed is also in there...

    Outlook Offline Provider

    This is certainly not a vendetta, but as an owner of a major Dumaguete site used by many to find a retirement spot, it is my duty to inform other guys who are thinking about moving here and would rely on IT Outlook Internet Provider as their source for Internet...

    I ended moving back up to Luzon, sure I could have moved in to Dumaguete or Cebu / Davao or any other cool destination, but now being gun shy of shady Internet providers I chose to move back to where I came from before Dumaguete knowing what is available here...

    We now got 4 different connections in the house and none of them has ever been as bad as IT Outlook...

    According to the Dane he came here October and the connection was fine up to May according to his own posts in this forum, unless he already deleted them. So another lie?

    Atlantis - are you the boss in Atlantis? They say that they still use their connection. If it is true please explain why you are still subscribing to this horrid "lying" company?

    Most postings are from May 2007 but the two of you have seemingly decided to make it an eternal vengeance from that date on, and in my opinion it does not belong in a forum of this supposed level of quality.

    You conceniently forgot to answer my questions about your lies posted in this forum.
    Rhoody, what you are doing can no longer be called INFO. It is a subjective voice spreading nonsense, to put it lightly, if not pure evil.

    I am not saying IT Outlook is prefect. I am sure it has dissatisfied customers - or at least ex customers - like any business trying to operate in the Philippines. Many things can - and do go wrong here. Just read again your own posts about HayaHay - your personal opinion about the place cost only 4% of a round of beers to change. So maybe it is more money you are after? Personnaly I have eaten at HayaHay for years and never seen any long-nose surcharges even my nose is probably even longer than yours...

    All your copying and pasting of your own agreviances in this forum just show the real purpose here. As the owner of this forum you should observe a better judgement before repeating your own gore forever. You also have a reputation of deleting postings in opposition to your own, not only in this forum. Great sensorship! We can only hope you have found your fortune back in Angeles - even it takes 4 providers to make things work for you.

    Im not sure what you mean about deleting posts on this and other forums.. unsubstantiated bula...

    Why should I not post about a company that caused me this much grief?

    How can that not be info valuable to unsuspecting potential clients there?

    And yes, I am happy having 4 providers up here... But in reality I would actualyl only need one provider here... because they actually work and deliver what I pay for...

    I will still warn everybody in my path about the bullshit I had to go through with IT OFFLINE to hopefully help them avoid the same sh*t(and costs) I had to go through...

    It Outlook Internet Provider

    May 2007 that was when the trouble started, before that IT Outlook actually paid their backbone provider like they were supposed to after taking many clients money up front.

    After they got cut off from Bayantel their backbone provider they actually tried using bundled residential lines to serve their clients - this of course never worked out...

    I ended up moving in September and Internet from IT Outlook was far from working even at that time...

    I think you should step up and explain why you are fighting so hard for this company... Would be nice with an explanation why you don't think it is important and relevant for Dumagueteinfo users and admins to warn potential clients like Frankg who much like me has an Internet business and therefore needs a stable connection 24-7
