Male Netizen Allegedly Caught Telco Technicians Cutting Internet Connections
A male netizen reportedly caught some Converge technicians or contractors disconnecting internet lines.
According to the netizen, he was in the middle of a virtual training session when his internet suddenly went down.
At first, he thought it was just a usual interruption and planned to switch to mobile data. But he remembered a viral video showing workers removing connections from a utility pole, so he decided to step outside and check.
Outside, he saw two technicians coming down from a ladder near the connection box. He approached them and asked why his internet had been cut. He even pointed to his own line, which was clearly visible among the wires.
One of the technicians told him they were fixing some lines and may have accidentally hit his. Another technician checked his router and confirmed that the indicator light had already turned red.
After reconnecting the wires, they monitored the router until the light finally turned green again, signaling that the internet was restored. Although the technicians explained that his line might have been hit while they were working underneath it, the netizen was doubtful.
He expressed relief that he went outside in time, saying he might have suffered days or even weeks without internet again, especially since he had just come from a long four-week outage.
Here is the full post:
Nasa gitna ako ng virtual training session ko nang bigla akong nawalan ng internet. Ang initial thought ko, mag-switch to data mode.
Then after, bigla kong naalala yung video na nakita ko, yung may nag-post tungkol sa mga Converge personnel (or third-party company nila, hindi ko sure) na nagtatanggal ng connection sa box sa poste so I went outside to check.
Then I saw these 2 (yung naka-gray, pababa na ng hagdan). Agad ko silang kinausap at tinanong kung anong ginagawa nila at bakit ako nawalan ng internet. Tinuro ko pa yung linya namin na kitang-kita na ayun ang wire namin.
Sabi ni ‘Pink Guy’ (Non-verbatim): “Ay, baka natamaan lang, sir, kasi may ginagawa kaming linya.” Pinacheck niya kay ‘Gray Guy’ yung router namin. Nakita ni Gray Guy na naka red light na nga talaga yung router.
Chineck ni Gray Guy yung router, inalis, at sinaksak ulit yung mga wire, tapos sinabi niya kay Pink Guy na naka-red nga ang router. After a few seconds, sumigaw si Pink Guy asking kung naka-red pa ba yung light hanggang sa nag-green na at umokay na ang internet namin.
Ang reason ni Pink Guy ay nasa ilalim daw ng wire namin yung ginagawa nilang connection and natamaan yung amin which I doubt. Kasi, madami nang ganitong scenario na nagtatanggal talaga sila ng connection para i-accommodate yung bagong nagpapakabit.
Ayun, chineck ko na yung Wi-Fi namin at bumalik naman na talaga yung connection
Jusko, paano nalang kung hindi ko sila nakita? Baka ilang araw, weeks, or worse, months na naman akong walang internet. Kakabalik pa lang last week kasi 4 weeks akong nawalan ng internet prior to this.
Ps: I took the photo after maibalik na yung internet kaya si pink guy na yung nababa sa stairs.
