Every year, my husband and receive insurance products offered by different companies. We have several insurance plans and I don’t know why we have more than one. The insurance marketing skills those agents possess must be working really well on us. We spend a nice percentage of our salaries paying for premiums. Hopefully, they will pay off later like with our recent experience with our ISP.
After more than six years of being serviced by Hanaro (now SK Broadband), we canceled our subscription last January and transfered. We didn’t actually transfer to another ISP but we chose a different service plan and registered with my name (instead of my husband’s) as advised by the sales rep. For 22,000 won a month (about $22) we get a 100MB internet plus two phone lines – regular and internet phone. The phone equipment and the modem are free. In addition, we also received 200,000 won Shinsegae gift certificates (that we spent at E-mart just two weekends ago). Sweet!

wow nmn ang bilis bilis nmn nyan.. how I wish ganyan dito..hehehe..100mbps is 100 times faster ng internet sa pinas (un typical household subscription), as far I knew 12mbps lang ang naprovide na speed ng internet sa pinas which is the fastest pa…hehehe..approximately 66 times the speed of a T1 line(64kbps that could support 1floor of the building).. in US 1mbps will cost $100 po pero the cheapest 100mpbs sa US $990..and with that speed could support media hosting..kumbaga may sarili ka ng network na wo2rk for SS7 signaling..take note just a modem lng un hindi pakasama un monthly usage…kasi un monthly magaaply ka pa nun sa LEC/ISP
“Mbps” stands for “megabits per second.” One megabit is equal to one million bits of data. Most servers have built-in network cards that support a connection capable of passing 100 million bits of data per second.
