Globe Tattoo's Fair use Policy

I have been looking for a suitable replacement for my Bayantel DSL internet services for the last couple of months. I could have retain my old subscription but Bayantel does not have any connection in my new residence in San Mateo Rizal. I have tried Globe tattoo but I was really disappointed with their Prepaid service. Not only do I need to reconnect from time to time but it is really slow especially when I am using it for downloading files. I am fond of opening multiple browser at the same time. Globe Tattoo has proven their service doesn't have what it take to provide internet usage for heavy user like me.

I tried to avail their so called "Unli-Surf" internet subscription. For the price of fifty pesos, I would be able to use their internet service to my heart's content. But wait there is a catch. I could only use up to 800 megabyte per day. So if you have reach that limit you would have to wait the next day to be able to use their service again. I wonder why they even called it "Unli-surf"? Shouldn't it be unlimited surfing?My brother subscribe to their Wi-max service it is also subject to their Fair use policy. I don't know if it is just the location but the connection is way to slow to even consider it a Wi-max connection.

I still have to try Smart and Sun's broadband services. I have heard that sun is superior among the other to telecom companies. But a friend of mind the his Sun Broadband connection is slow. He is currently residing in Mandaluyong. So I still have to test their service before buying subscribing to a broadband service.

Currently I am using my 3g phone to connect to internet. I am currently satisfied since I am just using it to browse the internet. But I can't use it for downloading.

Is it too late to change career path?

I am still adjusting to my new work schedule. You see my work requires me to work nights so that means my social life is really taking a hit. I haven't seen much of my old friends. When I get home I usually spend all of my time sleeping. I haven't had a chance to catch up with my reading. All I do now is sleep, eat and on some rare occasion get a chance to watch the Television. 

So I keep asking myself if I made the right decision or took the right career path. My mom wanted me to taking up nursing since she wanted at least one of her children to taking up the same college course that she took and eventually continue to medical school.  To tell you the truth wearing a white lab coat doesn't seem so bad. Though the good thing about my mom is that she didn't really push what she wanted but instead help us make our own decision on which course to take up in college. Besides I am not sure I could keep those scrubs or white medical nursing uniforms  clean especially when it rains. Well good  thing about  scrubs is that they come in different colors. It use to be plain years back. I remember when I was young and my mom use to wear the same colored scrubs over and over again.

But is it too late to change career? My former officemate took up nursing years after she graduated. She was able to finish her second college degree while keeping her old job. I guess it is about time management.
