The perils of having computer shops around you which have pseudo-DSL connections

Well... I can't imagine how many are they... but beware of those computer shops that say, "Oh, we've got a DSL connection!" & yet the downloading speed is 4-5 kbps. Yes. & I've shelled out maybe hundreds of pesos trying to be patient with the downloading speeds of these cafes. Sigh. & yeah, you'll ask things like, "Why is your internet connection like this? It took me 4 hours to download a file!" & they will answer things like, "Sir, we shortened the bandwidth speed because of some guys here playing online games." I've got nothing against online gamers, but to simply post on their doors, "We have a shorter bandwidth for you internet users." will simply make things much easier & less complicated. Sometimes I want to ask the world, "Where are the internet cafes that are FOR internet users?" Maybe they all became game stations. Or maybe they're like the next endangered species in the Philippine soil. Where are those internet cafes that prioritize people who check their e-mails, downloading some stuff from the internet, etc.? Maybe this post is kinda shallow, but hey, if you've got some important things to download for example on the internet & these deceiving shops will say the "Oh sir, we've got a short bandwidth" thing to you, then you must think twice about that shop. In the first place they're there to provide internet service for internet users. That's all. God Bless you all...
