Skycable has been down a few times over the past few months. Usually for half a day or more.

This time, have been down for over 24 hours and they extended their down time until 2pm today.

I get that repairs are sometimes needed, but it interferes with my work. Should I switch to converge? I am wondering if I should have 2 isps to use as a backup but also to use one for selfhosting. This way our personal devices are not on the public facing network.

Behind the scenes, sources told Biz Buzz the abrupt decision to end the deal stemmed from #PLDT, which wanted to include new conditions late in the negotiations and sought to reduce the payment amount.

And by reduce, we’re told the final amount was much smaller than the original offer. #Philippines
