Offline blogging
I'm currently blogging offline, using w.bloggar.
I don't have an internet connection in my apartment in Pasig (and I'm not likely to get one -- too expensive and the logistics of applying for a fixed line is such a bother). I usually connect to the internet from work. I still haven't tried WiFi on Mathilda. I'll probably do that tomorrow.
I'm thinking about getting PLDT WeRoam or Globe Visibility. I called Visibility, alas, they're open for corporate accounts only. As for PLDT, I tried several times but got busy tones on their hotline -- it's PLDT, what do you expect? My previous experience with WeRoam in my former workplace was just so-so, but at least I was mobile. I haven't tried Visibility, but from a former colleague's experience, it failed miserably, specially in Mindanao. (Not that I'd be going there in the near future, still it tells something about the service. But they have probably improved since that was, what, two months ago.)
For now, I'll just have to leech from the office connection -- just one hour a day, during breaks (heh), to do updates, etc.

here's a tip. :)
ReplyDeleteif you are on smart (or get a prepaid sim), you can use the 10 pesos per 30 mins rate (it seems sum of aggregated minutes) they are currently having. double whammy if your lappy has a bluetooh and your phone is also bluetooth enabled (unthethered bliss). speed is variable tho, dialup most of the time and lower than that in some cases. I haven't tried a 3G connection tho, since I don't have a 3G phone. heh.

You mean GPRS? Hmm... The thing, though, is that my phone is a dinosaur: a Siemens SL55. Heh. :P
