It's been more than a week now since we lost our connection. For someone who makes a livelihood from the internet, it was a real terrible situation!
Last Thursday, we received an advisory from our ISP that they will temporarily cut our connection until 6PM that day. We decided to leave the house, thinking that the connection will be restored the once we got back home. Unfortunately, it was already past 6PM and there was still no connection nor a dial tone from our landline! We tried to contact the customer service through cellphone to ask about the status of our internet. We were really frustrated to learn that they don't have any operator to answer our call.
We decided to visit the branch office of our ISP here in our city. We found out that we are not the only ones experiencing this problem. And after waiting for an hour or so, the customer service representative told us that there is an ongoing upgrade of equipment and facilities in our area. The funny thing is, we did not see anyone from their company doing any repair work anywhere. They promised that our internet connection will be restored by July 12. We have one day left, we just hope that they will stay true with their promise. One more day to find out.
