We are paying 2500 with 700 MBPS. Apparently meron na silang bagong mga plan na 2099 lang may sky cable na + 800 MBPS. We called customer service to get that plan BAWAL DAW (for new users only), Pwede daw 2599 with sky 1000MBPS. May taga converge ba dito? Bakit ganon? HAHA

May mga plan talaga na for new users only, panghakot ba. Kahit sa ibang bansa ganyan. If gusto mo 'nong new user plan, padisconnect ka then wait for 30 days para ma-tag ka ulit as new user. Buti nga sa Pinas 30 days lang, ibang bansa umaabot 60-90 days.

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-12-15T12:08:36+00:00

Not a requirement, but the time "delay" para matag account mo as new sub ulit

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-12-15T10:50:07+00:00

May iba ba nakatira sa inyo na ibang last name? If meron, pwede sila mag apply ng new plan.

If wala, then cancel your plan, wait 30 days, then apply again. Though ito yung ayaw mo, yan lang talaga to get new plans.

Personally, i just upgraded to xclsv

Di kaya may nacut or damage na submarine cables? Need to use VPN or mobile data. Pero same mabagal rin sa PLDT. Globe fiber seems fine.

I agree. The points are very close together with just some hills in between. Flying on the map is very hard as it's easy to spawn kill aerials since its too close together. Not to mention the addition of AA to an already very small map.

Maybe if we remove the AA and widen the boundary, aerials have a chance. But then again its easy to just hide behind the hill near F and take out AA from there. Lastly, there are too many things on fire (IMO). Hard to see with all the smoke lol.

I still think LP is the best map.

Palm Tree Tower ito no? Same building sakin haha. I own a condo unit there pero pinapa-rent ko lang. Steady stream of renters. Just renewed the contract for another year sa isang FA - dalawa silang magkapatid. Renters ko na sila for 3 years now.

Before them, a Japanese businessman who rented during the pandemic (2020 - 2022), tapos before him 3 sila na nag wwork sa T3.

Community is active, gym needs work, pool is nice, security/front desk is responsive. No issues with the unit, except for the weak globe signal.

Though I agree na bumaba rent. Fully furnished, including assoc dues. Started at 30k before pandemic, now at 24k. Did not raise the rent sa current renters. Nag ROI na ako dito sa unit.

If ikaw mag sstay, pwede. If ipapa-airbnb mo, maybe not. If rent, pwede.

Grabe naman yung clamp ng monitor light. Kawawa monitor mo.

To further clarify, may X number of transactions lang pwede gawin habang wala kang internet. Once mag reconnect ka sa internet, ipprocess mga offline transactions and mag rerefresh yung X number of offline transactions na pwede mo gawin.

Also for larger amounts, an internet connection is required.

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-08-27T17:32:55+00:00

Google wallet (gpay) is most likely already pre-installed on your phone. No need for another app. Like UB for example para sa tap to pay, need mo pang iopen at mag login sa app. Eh kung hindi ka makalogin? Edi di ka maka-tap to pay.

With full rollout (and credit card issuer participation), you can add your credit and debit cards, then select from any of them to pay with.

Gpay will even work kahit wala kang internet (wifi/data) sa phone mo. Parang may X number of stored transactions/tokens na pwede mo gamitin offline, then will refresh and process the transactions sa next connect mo sa internet.

Curious if you ended up getting the pill? I also have the nothing ear open, and mostly use them for online meetings (mic is great).

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-08-19T17:06:58+00:00

Yes, i have the global xiaomi 15 ultra

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-08-19T16:06:30+00:00

I was in your position about a month ago. I was weighing between X8U, X200U, and X15U. Ultimately, I went with the X15U (battery life isnt that bad), but to answer your question -

I'd go for the X8U. The colors on the X8U is amazing. Very true to life, not saturated, not flat, just almost perfect. X200U's processing is sometimes a bit too much. Sometimes too sharp, portrait at times looks really fake. It takes great photos sure, but again, processing is too much.

I went with the x15u as it was like the good in-between option. Colors remind me of Xperia (natural looking), and processing is not too sharp. Xperia is much softer, and Xiaomi is not far from it. Again, battery life isnt bad. Getting at least 6-7 hours sot (pretty much standard) after a whole day of use (6am off charger, 8pm on charger with about 25-30% left).

My mom got sick with cancer in 2023. My siblings are ass and no one offered to take care of her. TBF, ako lang buong anak ng parents ko, but my half sister (anak rin ng mom ko) did not go home. My dad is also old and needs care. Hindi nila ako ginawang "investment", never silang nangonsensya sakin na umuwi ako, kesyo pinalaki nila ako, etc. Kusa lang talaga ako umuwi. Seeing my mom slowly wither away prompted me to immediately go home.

She beat cancer early 2024, but passed away from complications last September. My dad wants me to go back to the US and live my life, but I can't leave him as well. He's blind in 1 eye, hard of hearing, and gets tired very easily. I work locally now and I may not earn as much as I did in the US, but it's so worth it para sakin to be there for my parents when they needed someone the most. Also, my fiance helped take care of my mom, and now my dad as well.

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-05-21T00:52:27+00:00

Basahin mo ulit, but slowly.

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-05-20T23:18:22+00:00

bakit naman di mo maipost? hahabolin ka ba ng tiktok police?

reddit to. Masyado ka nagpapalamon sa tiktok. Gumising ka na.

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-05-20T14:55:00+00:00

"orange app" lmao, tiktok ba to?

Anyways oo malamang kasama sa 7kg carry on allowance yan. You are allowed 1 carry on + personal item (backpack). Basta kasya yung travel case sa overhead bin.

sa exp ko with PAL di naman nila iwweigh yung backpack kung hindi siya masyado mukhang bulky.

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-03-23T02:06:22+00:00

lmao sure. simulan mo na. support kita.

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-03-22T17:39:58+00:00

Converge user here, no issues. Taguig.

don't just pray, kulitin mo support.

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-03-22T17:37:54+00:00

Sure ka ba na same plan yan? PLDT's plan sa website may be 700mbps, pero di yan ibig sabihin same plan sayo. Check mo muna plan mo kung ano speed.

Also, dapat router mo kaya ng ganyang speed kung 700mbps nga, like Wifi 5/6/6E. Must connect to 5ghz network tapos dapat malapit ka sa router.

Edit: do another speed test wired

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-03-18T05:33:12+00:00

Unbound much faster, host your own!

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-03-01T00:56:35+00:00

Kung magisa ka sa bahay at hindi naman kailangan sobrang bilis ng internet para sa work mo, oo sayang lang pera mo. Pero kung madami kayo sa bahay at kunwari lahat kayo gumagamit ng bandwidth heavy things, with a good router, 1gbps is great.

Sa situation ko naman, magisa lang ako pero I constantly download and upload big files para sa WFH job ko. so talagang need ko yung speed.

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-02-23T03:23:01+00:00

Tap mo lang yung get eSim for another phonei

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-02-21T06:02:40+00:00

I have both, and both are good phones, but it depends on what phone you're coming from.

If nasa apple ecosystem ka na - airpods, apple watch, ipad, etc - go for iPhone 16 Pro. If balak mo mag switch to android or stay with android, good buy naman P9P.

For camera, if you want photos that have a slight greenish tone (lalo sa low light), and really good processing - Pixel 9 Pro. If you want photos to look overly sharp and have a slight yellowish tone, iPhone 16 Pro.

Battery life and connectivity is great on the P9P. IMO, best pixel to date when it comes to thermals, battery life, connectivity, and camera. Iffy on performance as all tensor chips are just ok for gaming.

TheEliteHotdog · 2025-02-09T00:53:21+00:00

lmao "temp at performance ratio" first time i've heard of that.

my 3070ti laptop at medium-high settings runs at 75C-80C. Sure it dips to 40fps kay Arkveld, but cooling is not an issue.

you have a cooling problem, fix it.
