Port Resetting Saves The Day

Was having intermittent connection issues with BayanTel. Their lineman made some changes and replaced a filter. The connection was now fast and no longer disconnected after the phone rings. I thought everything was ok. Facebook was functioning and videos on YouTube were playing fast.

Suddenly, my apps that require an internet connection no longer functioned properly. Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, and Final Fantasy Record Keeper were stuck at the loading screen. Viber no longer worked. What in the world was happening? The issue was not isolated to a single phone. Other wi-fi dependent devices were affected.

I tried reinstalling the apps, but the results were still the same. I also found out that certain sites like cnn.com and wikipedia.org would not load, but major sites like yahoo, google and facebook loaded fine.

This reminded me of site blocking so I was beginning to think it was a network issue, rather than the hardware or line connections.

When the repairmen from BayanTel came back, they thought a modem replacement would work. But the repairman was worried about a double MAC issue, once he exchanged the new modem for the old. So he called up the ISP's network division to have the port reset. The only problem was, the new modem didn't seem to be working either. So he reconnected the old modem, and viola, Wikipedia loaded properly.

San Miguel Beermen Come Back from 0-3 to Win The Philippine Cup Finals 2016

The San Miguel Beermen have done it. They have become the first team in basketball history to come back from a 0 - 3 deficit to win a 7 game series.

Chris Ross deserves to win the Finals MVP. He hit 4 three-point shots in the game, producing his highest scoring output in the series. He, along with Alex Cabagnot, have also been crucial in allowing San Miguel to break free from Alaska's full court press.

San Miguel now has 22 PBA Titles, making them the PBA team with the most wins in history.

Although point production for Arwind Santos was not as high as some of the other games, his defense was superb in this game. Alex Cabagnot also scored at critical times in the game when Alaska was about to make a surge. Marcio Lassiter's steady hand at the free throw line made sure that Alaska could not take advantage of a hack-a-shaq strategy when the Aces tried to come back from a 20+ point deficit.

Ross said it right in his acceptance speech. All the members of the San Miguel Team are MVPs since they all made big contributions that kept the team alive - giving the team a fighting chance - when they were one game away from being eliminated.

Just when I think I've seen everything in basketball, it's nice to be surprised once in a while. Congratulations coach Leo Austria and to the San Miguel Beermen!!!
