For the past few weeks, just following the end of the election period, the blackouts finally stopped. We do get the occasional blackout for an hour or two, but this happened for only once or twice since after the elections. I guess there is no need to buy emergency lamps or rechargeable lanterns. I did go ahead and buy Globe Tattoo and Smart Bro broadband kits so that I have a backup internet connection should I still not be able to get a DSL line. I had my cousin look into it for me. It may cost me about $120 to get done, but heck, I need DSL for work, and I won’t settle for anything less. If $120 is the cost to get it, as long it gets done and everything gets installed properly, I won’t complain any longer. I am still fuming though, but I am quite happy that we no longer experience blackouts.
