WTH The average internet speeds in the Philippines are on par with Indonesia’s.

Possible options for our ISPs and big websites to skirt around the problem: invest in faster internet speeds or concentrate on mobile.

To those complaining about ads, you may want to install adblockplus to your browser(Firefox/Chrome/Android).

Yugatech was previously on whitelist because I like this site but now their ads are too much. Ads on the site, and even articles are sponsored to promote brands/sites(Like Acer
and Lazada).

2.5Mbps? Just a little more push, then our internet speed will be 5Mbps! PLDT controls 80% of the Telco Service/s here in the Philippines. PLDT = AT&T…..

Please can you stop the video advertising you started on your website last week – its making your site to hard to visit now with Philippines bandwidth

You have too much advertising now on your site – first the bar at the bottom and now this – horrible

Ads are the lifeline of any blogger. It is also the motivator to do more and strive to better your website. Think about it, google had a huge chunk of profits on ads thru adsense, with doing less, while blogger had to scramble through competition for little money. So if you have large audience, strike at all fronts while the iron is hot.
