One of the social problems we have in our place is having a slow and unstable internet connection. We only have one bar to two bars of signal showing in our mobile phones and when the weather is not good, we experienced no signal at all. This is a problem especially residing in rural areas wherein towers of telecommunication companies are not situated nearby. This is one of the reasons why most schools in our district chose to have a modular learning than having an online classes.
To address this problem, some of the houses here in our barangay bought some big tubes and extension wires so that we can placed our modem like like PLDT Home Prepaid Wifi and Globe Wifi on top or in a higher ground. Small wires were attached on each side of the tube so that it can stand well. We placed the wifi in a big mineral water container so that it will not directly affect the modem and wire plug during rainy days or the heat of the sun. This is what normally we do now just to have an internet connection in our barrio. We can now surf the net, post on our social media account and watch youtube videos especially during night time and early morning. Thanks to the initiative of our neighbor who introduced us in this alternative way of having an internet connection.
Having a slow internet connection is one of my problems as a student. Hoping that this will fix soon.
