Bohol Internet Connections

[G@Len]

hi guys,

need to know the available internet connection in bohol.

Based on last year's info:

For Wireless and Laptop Users:
1. Smart Bro --> not offered to our bukid
2. Globe Visibility --> 2yrs contract (not good for me)

is there any aDSL connection offered by Globelines? or anything having some speed of 256kbps(guaranteed speed) will do... at least...

[ben]

check out auza.net - they offer the kind of premium guaranteed speed connection you're looking for.

[grazie7y]

My family in Manga is using cruznet.  so bad connection, very slow!  I will check auza.net and see if it's available in Manga already.  thanks Ben.

[G@Len]

hi guys, i seems that i dont have any other options as of now... maybe ill go for the globe visibility if cant get the smart bro connection by end of december.   

[pioneer]

This is my biggest headache if I go back to Bohol.

[grazie7y]

Mike, we still have that cruznet connection.  It hasn't improved all these years; still so slow.

[G@Len]

tukod nalang ta ug infrastructure sa bohol! heheheh

[Julai]

thi is my problem too..been wanting to buy my mother a PC so we can chat everyday, but the problem is the internet connection. Smart bro is not yet available in our bukid..and the golobelines dial up is very slow.. The school located in our place has 10 PC units and an internet connection before..but it was cut off coz the connection was really crawling..

[grazie7y]

tukod nalang ta ug infrastructure sa bohol! heheheh

Ngano man tuod na dili i improve na atong internet didto na daghan bya tag mga tourists na magkinahanglan jud ug access sa world wide web.

im a "smart" bro user before, karon smart sis na! bongga! hehe  sa akoa lang ikasulti, you're sharing the connection with some other users in that specific Wi-Fi range. not sure if same pa ba ang settings, technically speaking, local IP address ang gipanggamit sa mga users then gi-route nila sa usa ka public address (possible router) located sa site nila. not confirmed by those tech guys behind smartbro pero mao na akoa nakita sa ilang setup.

sa bisaya pa, usa sa hinungdan nga mokamang ang koneksyon ninyo kung daghan mo nga smartbro users nga nasulod sa radius sa ilang Wi-Fi coverage tungod kay nagbahin ra mo sa gikusgon sa inyong gi-subscribe.

this is just my opinion... sa motoo lang...

You sound credible, G@len!  Thanks!

Are you familiar with Cruznet?  Sige lang kadaut ang connection didto sa amo sa Manga oi!  The technician told my sister to have it changed to Smart or Globe but the thing is wala pa daw Globe maka abot sa Manga.  That leaves us with Smartbro.  So if hinay pod just like cruznet, why bother to change.  What do you think, G@len?

Giant companies don't want to upgrade and improve Internet infrastructure because they are protecting their profits from "text-text na lang ta ha."

[G@Len]

no probs grazie, mao btaw naa ta ngari para magpatabang ug motabang sa nanginahanglan. that's the spirit of a true boholano.

manguli ta ninjo karon fiesta sa bohol karon Mayo pohon!

[grazie7y]

Ah, mura man ug nag kandidato pagka governor ka G@len!  hehehehe

Kalami ba anang fiesta pohon sa Mayo oi!  Mao nang buwana na motiglum gamay ang island of Bohol kay pirte ka daghan mga Sano ug Sana manguli mo atendi ug fiesta!

[G@Len]

hahah, abi ba nako ug modako lang ang dagat... motiglum jud diay ang bohol.

[B:)]

hahah, abi ba nako ug modako lang ang dagat... motiglum jud diay ang bohol.

G@len I think both!

Sus oi dili man ko makapamista iputos nalang ko sa akong bringhaws!

[G@Len]

yay... mura ma-hold man ta ana sa airport tngali tungod sa kadaghan sa bringhaws nga gisulod sa baggage pabalik. heheh

pero before ang fiesta, akoa pa i-prepare akoa internet connection lagi... huhuhu or else dli ko madayon uli. globe visibility nalang jud tngali ko, at least makapangita ko ug singnal sa ilawom sa kalubihan or sa taas sa mangga. heheh

[grazie7y]

hahahaha pareho sa una, matingala intawon among pobreng inahan kay wa sya kasabot nganong among gina raise among kamot with the cphone kay mura ba'g nag magnet ug signal!  Ako lang jud frustration karon noh kanang slow kaajo among internet connection sa Manga unja sige pa jud kawala ang connection.  Naay mag two weeks, di sila ka gamit.  One time, ask ko sa akong manghud unsay ingon sa taga Cruznet, ingon na gikilatan daw ang internet kay ga kilat daw the night before!  Pastilan ka mga tsolokoy!

[G@Len]

maski sunog, kilat, ug uban pa nga kalamidad ila na nga business so ila na protektahan. users pay for those services nga gi-offer nila so ila na i-provide. kasabot ko ana na situation kay naa ko sa IT Service/Solutions Provider ko nga industry mao na amoa trabaho, everything naa jud backup solution para lang ma-satisfy ang customers.

same gud sa globelines, pila na ka tuig ang milabay wa jud gihapon telepono amoa bukid maski naa ra ilang cables sa amoa tugkaran (kuyog sa poste sa boheco) kay "dead zone" daw... ingon ko maayo man ug wireless na ilang infrastructure nga mahimo man nga dead zone, wired gud na so ngano mahimong dead zone ang wired.

sad to say pero ila lang jud gi-likoy ang mga tawo kay kasagaran motuo ra man pud nila.

[grazie7y]

Exactly, G@len! 

Akong gi ingnan akong mga manghud na ipa ingon ang Cruznet na ipa adjust ang bill kay dapat dili sila mag flat billing for a month bisan pila ra ka adlaw nagamit!  Mao lang jud na kaparat sa ato kay poor pa jud ang customer service.

[hazel]

Galen, ma mista na sad diay ka? Kumusta man diha sa SGP?

Wala pa ba diay moabot sa inyo ang Globelines nga DSL?

[G@Len]

calape (tultugan tngali) to catagbacan (loon) wa na sila telepono diha. 

[slackware]

mahal kaayo internet sa atoa unya pangit pa jud serbisyo

[hazel]

mahal kaayo internet sa atoa unya pangit pa jud serbisyo

You're right, Jun. Bisan ang Globelines DSL dili stable ang connection.

[G@Len]

mao btaw ang nakaapan diha sa atoa, less options ra ta so wa ta lain kapaingnan. hopefully mausab na tanan kung mahimo na nga 2nd boholano president si mike.

[slackware]
