NTC is EVIL. Broadband is capped.

THE National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) will allow Internet broadband service providers to cap the daily volume of data allowed per user. In a revised draft Memorandum Order (MO) on Minimum Speed of Broadband Connections, the NTC said that broadband service providers should specify the minimum broadband connection speed and service reliability, as well as the service rates in their advertisements, flyers, brochures and service and legal agreements.

Alongside the disclosure on minimum speeds and reliability, telecom companies however would be allowed to set a maximum volume of data allotted per subscriber per day.

Flu Vaccine Prices TRIPLE! WTF

Imagine getting a simple Flu shot for P1,800. That’s just insane. To think we used to get flu shots from the local clinic for free. 

And these ‘tards think they can charge P150.50 for Tamiflu? WTF. Now these guys have to do something about these soaring prices. They should lower the prices for these things since there’s more demand. But then since there’s gonna be a big lack of supply for it, or MOST LIKELY a hoarding scam of some sort will happen or is already happening.

I know for a fact that this doesn’t exactly help out with H1N1 but since they’re related it wouldn’t hurt getting those shots.
