    I reached out sa contact ko na naglalatag ng fiber cable. I think this is better that doing it myself. I talked to them about my plan installing fiber on more houses and we seemed to agree on a fixed rate per house. Nabanggit din nila nag-move na sila sa malapit sa village namin, which…

    I stumbled upon a profile in Facebook and saw na meron siyang ISP: Keith.net Inc. It looks to be formally registered at mukang may leased line siya from PT&T. Checking PT&T’s website, it looks like they provide a leased line for Php 20,000.00 per month. Which is much more reasonable than PLDT’s iGate na around…

    When I was procrastinating today, I was thinking on how I should plan my ODM (Optical Distribution Network). Doing a cascading style using FBT makes the most sense. Bali split lang with uneven ratio, then extend as needed. Gusto ko rin ma-maximize yung 128 ONU per PON nung OLT ko. One thing na hindi ko…

    Na-offer ng Tita ko yung shared internet sa neighbor niya. He was following up every day kailan pwede makabit. This morning, inaantok lang ako at nagpoprocrastinate. I decided I’d rather do some physical activity and went ahead and install the fiber line to his house. Madali lang naman kasi kahilera lang ng bahay ni Tita.…

    I bought a 9 dBm EPON OLT PX20++++ module for backup (in case one of my EPON module fails) and experiment (I’m curious if the additional dBm have significant effect to the signal). I bought it for PHP 1460.00. Curious kasi ako how much difference 2 dBm makes it terms of signal strength. Ang default…

    Sobrang good call na nag-stick ako sa local distributor. The unit I got was not working correctly. Lagi nagka-crash pag may dalawang naka-connect. Replaced the same day

    I spent most of today researching what should I replace my broken OLT. My two criteria are: I found two options: 1. HSGQ E04i It’s around the same price as my original OLT with included 9dbm PON modules. It’s from a local distributor. It can be shipped the next day too! However, when I got…

    I spent my morning trying to trouble why my OLT doesn’t completely boot. Nag start nung gabi when I saw the ALARM led was on. Wala pa ko naka-setup ng CONSOLE cable, so I thought reset ko na lang then reconfigure. I only have VLAN lang naman to re-do. Resetting did not solve the issue.…

    For a couple of weeks now, I’ve been considering buying an OLT. What kept me from biting the bullet is the return of investment. It doesn’t make sense to pursue, ROI-wise. I can earn much more if I spend my time on something else like AWS certifications. When I changed my view from it being…
