I show them that I have 2 PCs, 1 laptop, 3 tablets. and 2 android phones and ask them if all have a virus. I also say that its a clean install of windows so no chance of a virus. (doesn't have to be all true thou). I also most importantly refuse to allow them to do a speedtest from Manila and demand they check multiple outside the Philippines while asking them if I pinged the speed between one computer in my house to another in my house can I call that my internet speed? Then I explain that that is the same exact sh*t they are trying to pull on be my testing Manila.
The thing is the Philippines doesn't even comprise 0.001% of the internet which is fairly well maintained by other large developed countries and to get an accurate speed test one must test international backbone lines. However that is the issue as Globe, Smart, PLDT, and so on refuse to buy sufficient international access. Further I only recently found out that a few major lines that were being looped with the Philippines have been cut from Philippine service because PLDT and Globe wanted a cheaper option and have switched over to more Hong Kong and China backbones which were already severely congested during peak Asia internet use times. The lines are still there but almost everything is now routed through China or HK's backbones.

I'll have the keylogger on to record the modem's admin account password when they show, up without their own computer of course, to log on to the modem (I already have access to the regular user account). There is certainly a problem with the modem. Many times when it is taking forever to load a webpage I have to pull up the modem page (192.168.254.254) in the browser to get other pages to load. Sometimes the d*mn modem page takes 10+ seconds to load up.....and that's on a local freaking connection! They are providing sh*t internet through sh*t equipment on overcrowded sh*t networks, there is only one possible outcome.....sh*t service.

What do they know about the internet anyway,they're only a call center and read from a script! If you added up all the brain cells in that place I don't think it would be above a single digit!-
