TVC 2

Now, don’t you think that elevator scene is cute? 😉 HI do!

If that was too fast for you, then you’re actually up to speed. YOU will definitely be UP TO SPEED with SKY Broadband’s LATEST offering, SKY Broadband 5Mbps! -which is a consumable plan of 15GB data volume at 5Mbps speed.

With the 15GB data volume allowance, all you NETizens can get the fastest access to social networking sites, downloads of approx. 3,750 songs or 25 movies, 125 hours of non-stop YouTube clips or 586 hours of talk time online. But wait, there’s actually MORE! Get unlimited access to iWanTV!

A lot of my friends on SKY Broadband are crazy about iWanTV, particularly those who follow ABS-CBN local shows (yes, I’m looking at you M, A, AJ, S, you, you and you)!

Even if they’re out on dinner or at an event, it’s so easy for them to CATCH UP on the episodes of the series they’re following. There are a number of foreign series and shows too! And they also featured the Azkals game!!!

Whether your usage is for iWanTV, Facebook, Twitter, or downloads of movies or songs, 5Mbps is 5 times faster than any other ISPs.

At ONLY PHP 999 plan per month, SKY Broadband provides a much faster option than the usual 1Mbps of other Internet providers that retails for the same price. NOTE however that there is data cap each month which is at 15GB. If you feel like your data consumption averages less than the 15GB cap, then this plan is for YOU.

If you, by chance, need the extra 1GB or two, you can top up PHP 100/GB of data consumption. That’s flexibility.

If you want to check out other plans for your internet habits, CHECK OUT http://www.skybroadband.com.ph/

ANY SKY Broadband package includes a free subscription to iWanTV! where you can get your fill of EXCLUSIVE content only available for SKYBROADBAND subscribers.

Storm Pepeng Brewing in the North

October 1, 2009 by Janey

It’s raining again and the worst is feared.

It hasn’t even been a week and another tropical storm is reported to enter the Philippine territory October 1, 2009, Thursday. Accroding to PAGASA, Bagyong Pepeng, international codename “Parma,” will likely hit the Batanes group of islands and extreme northern Luzon and parts of Visayas and Mindanao… and it could develop into a super typhoon.

“Yung worst scenario, tatama dito sa may Batanes-Taiwan area, sa extreme Northern Luzon (Our models show the worst scenario is that it will hit the Batanes-Taiwan area, in extreme Northern Luzon),” Pagasa forecaster Gener Quitlong said in an interview on dzBB radio.

In its 5 a.m. bulletin, Pagasa said Parma (Pepeng) was estimated at 1,110 km east of Mindanao with maximum sustained winds of 75 kph and gustiness of up to 90 kph.

“Extreme Northern Luzon, Eastern Visayas and Eastern Mindanao will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms. The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.”

As of 10am, Typhoon Pepeng is now in the Philippines, currently 900kms east of Surigao City, which carries with it, strong winds. The 5-day forecast reveals that the height of the typhoon will hit around Saturday afternoon, October 3, 2009.

UPDATE: Some Plurk messages read: Hail Storm in QC (Oct. 1- 12:00nn).

“Friday (October 2) is a REGULAR WORKING DAY. But massive cleanup will push through in affected areas.”
