    yes i agree... make lemonade out of lemons... this is what my wife and i do each time there is a scheduled brownout... this time we went up into the mountains near pamplona where we hiked and swam in a mountain stream and had a picnic... so scheduled 12 hour brownouts for us have become an opportunity for us to plan a road trip into the mountains where it is cool and to remind ourselves just how very blessed we are to live on this beautiful island... rather than to view it as an opportunity to drag down others (and ourselves at the same time) by complaining about it.

    Update on this (it affects Asia generally):

    Maintenance work will now be from 9 a.m. Sept. 26 to 5 a.m. Sept. 30.

    “Should there be internet traffic spike beyond the traffic of the past weeks, some slowing down in the busiest hours for traffic going to Asia may be experienced, but no service will be denied, and internet traffic within the Philippines and to the US will not be impacted," the company added.

    Also affected is Sky Cable, which has warned its Sky Fiber subscribers of an internet slowdown starting 8 a.m. of Sept. 25 to 5 a.m. of Sept. 30. Sky Cable said customers should expect slower connection when using social media, web browser and video streaming sites."

    While the speed is an advance for the region, is the price just sick. Nearly US$145 is very much. Imagine that many pinoys get less than this amount of money as salary per month.

    Or have gas to drive outside the brownout area. I learned some new things today with a road trip.
