In a Remote Area?

I posted here about my internet application werks ago.
I applied with Globe Telecom and got approved. But no installation happen because the fiber facility is too far from my apartment.
I submitted application for Converge and paid. No installation, fiber box is too far from my place. But my landlord was able to get their service.
I asked my friend who is working at PLDT. She said the fiber facility is also too far.
I was approved for Skybroadband. Yesterday was installation day but another sad news, no broadband facility in my area.
Am I in the jungle? Why they don't have facilities here. Across is a mall another building across is a condo. I am near schools and banks. They are all 2-3 minutes walk away.

I think they are just so lazy to work on the cabling.

@jobelbojel Our cabling work was not joke, all the cables are underground here, they had to close the road, dig, place the cable inside a protected pipe and close back.

He told me that he just tried and the technician came up. The installer was helpful. According to him, they went farther to look for a box for connection.

@rakski yup, I think that was mentioned yesterday. She said it was reserved for me but the facility is too far.

@jobelbojel a possible reason for that is the facility near you is full already

@hereandthere 90% of the population are homebased. I am not sure after September 30.

I am very sad. I need to go to the office if no wired connection until the end of September.

I am very near a bridge and by the looks of it there are houses near the bridge.

I actually talked to the landlord's secretary if I can connect to their router while waiting for my internet to be install. Waaaaaa. I still have less than two weeks before the router gets canceled.

@DianneN I told her I can pay half of the internet bill. So desperate already.

Did they not suggest any options so that they will install on your place? Maybe they want you to shoulder additional expenses when they install it or they are looking for additional applicants..
Because I heard one new telco here in my hometown that they allow installations even if you are far from the highway (initial offering is for those who live along the highway) as long as there are 10 applicants. And another, you will shoulder the cost of the cables to be used so that it will reach your area.

They don't explicitly say it. My co workers said I have offered them money so that they could have done their best. Well, I told them, I don't know that.

Yes, I need it badly. The company I work for will cancel the internet subscription and they want me to apply for wired internet.

I asked the secretary if I can connect and pay while waiting for a fix.

There is a service because the landlord got his service.

That's odd. I hope you'd be able to find an internet provider real soon.
