Internet : Mylot - an online discussion forum

Hey guys! It's been about 2 months since I started out at www.mylot.com. Basically, this is a social site where you could start almost any discussion that interests you and other members reply to them and you converse about it on the discussion. Interests varies incredibly. From walking to learning quantum physics, politics, life, and more. Almost anything under the sun. Check it out.

Now, there is something different about mylot compared to most discussion forums. This site is paying you to participate in discussions. Yes, you heard me right. They do. Based on your discussions, responses and comments, you earn a certain amount on a daily basis. The currency is in dollars and can be payable through paypal. Also, members can be referred. Please do click my link above, or below for mylot.

As with most of the members, they were attracted to the payout of the site. However, just a reminder that it isn't something that could replace real income. The payouts doesn't reach that high and it would take tremendous effort to at least reach half of the usual daily pay. This however, isn't ab obstacle. As you experience mylot, you will notice that you'll get more than money. It's the fact that the members are from all over the world and you hear lots and lots of ideas and different opinions, it will keep you glued for some time.

You'll have friends as well, you can post pictures and provide links. The discussions can really get lively especially when you have a very interesting topic. There are nice people but of course, not all opinions are the same and debates may occur. But it's fun. I suggest you try it out if you haven't yet. Once again, here's the link. Click here. Take care peeps!

Internet : Let there be light...

The DSL Light that is. :D Well, it turned out ok today and got my DSL back. I had to personally complain at their office just to expedite the repairs. It's as fast as before and sometimes even faster. But I won't forget the horrors with most of the tech support reps I spoke with. I dunno but all of the ladies I spoke with were the nicest ones. All 3 of them. Well, that's already done and the internet is back. Next stop, rebate request... (sigh) I hope it won't take more than a month to complete it. Well, that's all!! see 'ya!

Internet : Hell Week for DSL... and it ain't over yet. Globelines is on a roll...

Since June 11, Thursday at around 11 PM, my DSL from Globelines Broadband has been down. I never thought their tech support was almost useless. I've been calling everyday and sometimes more than twice and only 1 was able to show best knowledge. Her name was Daisy. The rest was just plain incompetent. Up to now, my DSL is still down and I am resorting to a super slow Dial Up connection.

Now here's where it really got messed up. It seemed the problem has affected a very wide area and even reached outlying provinces. Then, they said that something is wrong with their facilities. It's obvious. I wasn't asking for that. I was asking for the exact problem and the estimated time of completion.

Come Thursday, June 18, exactly 1 week after the downtime, someone called. Yay! They said I was on the priority list. Well.. guess what. It's already Saturday and nothing's happening. No one called and no one showed up. I sure hope a lot of readers would see this especially from the Philippines. The speed of the DSL is good but after sales support? From a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 2. Tomorrow, I'll be visiting the mall. Their office will get an earful from me. I've been patient enough but this is unreasonable. I've lost time online for myself and my family (we use the net to do video calls with relatives), business, and even my job is affected. I've lost some of my online subscriptions, and some side income as well. We'll see.
