you're right, the price _is_ a bit steep , but when the subscriber decides to upgrade
to higher bandwidth (which our company would do so later), the pricing gets better.
besides, they don't care how many PCs share your internet connection, unlike other
broadband ISPs where the subscriber has to be "creative" in doing so.
the other reason i'm planning to subscribe to them is that other broadband ISPs don't
serve my area.they're other claims are:
- full coverage of Metro Manila
- provides backbone connection to major ISPs
- full 24/7 support
