Is your internet connection good?

Not my internet connection here in the Philippines. It keeps me away from writing online. I am already 2 weeks here but I have not written on my blogs. Mylot is still okay as I am often here as when I was in Germany. We are still adjusting. I think I am living healthier here than in Germany as I always go to bed at 10 pm. Eat a lot of veggies and I take a nap in the afternoon as I already wake up at 4 in the morning. I planted many seeds of flowers I brought from my German home. It is almost lunch time here. I hope your connection is indeed fine. It is annoying when the internet is on and off when I am in the mood for writing. Anyway, have a nice day. The photo is one part of my garden.

Yes, they are happy that we are back again. It is always lively at home now. The bad thing is, Angus is gone and we miss him very much @sol_cee.

My internet connection gets disconnected at night sometimes for some reason. Sometimes it will reconnect right away and sometimes like two nights ago, it was gone until late in the morning.

@thelme55 I am guessing when the provider leave the office they either turn it off themselves or there is some fault somewhere that disconnects the internet.

Not all ares in the philippines have fibre optic yet and that's the only stable internet connection so far. DSL and wireless broadband are unreliable. My internet connection has been good since I switched to fibre optic with a speed of 50mbps. I'm very particular with my internet connection coz I often check my ms ping to see if I'm actually getting the right speed of the internet, and' I'm not talking about the speed test but the actual ms ping test. When it goes down to what I expect, I usually complain and ti's good that they act upon it though not immediately sometimes.

Our Internet connection is good, as I suppose it was your connection in Germany. We always go to sleep at 10 pm, we have never been night owls.

@LadyDuck I seldom take a nap in Germany maybe because I stay up late in the morning when I don't have to work.

since you wake up very early, 4am, is the internet faster at that time? i mean most people would still be asleep so there might be less demand?

Yes, it is faster in the early hour @hereandthere but my blood pressure is too low at that time of the day that I don't have the energy. It takes 2 hours to wake my brain up

We are fortunate to have very good internet service here. I'm sure it's a very different way of life for you in the Philippines than it is in Germany. Enjoy your time there!!!!

Yes, life here in the Philippines is very different than in Germany. I am always adapting the way of life in both countries. It sometimes annoys me how once relative live a life full of debts although they have salaries and allowance from daughters abroad. Thanks @DianneN. I still enjoy my life here in the Philippines.

Mine is awful and I had planned to give it up until the service improved. However I decided that half a loaf is better than no bread - even if I do have to pay for it.

I agree with you. For the moment, I will just use this internet connection until I know which is the best here in the Philippines @Kandae11

Same here, the internet connection is really poor. But I guess it's because of the rain and storm. It's monsoon here in India.
