Argh! “Alfabet Iternet Kiosk” in Powerbooks on Pasay Road is more than just a bit disappointing.

First, you have to buy an Alfabet prepaid card at the counter, and then use that card to log into one of the stations in the corner. It took me three tries, two terminals, and one hard-restart to log in. Now, the “b” and “n” keys are sticking, and the spacebar isn’t so great either; you have to BANG on them to get them to work.

At least the access is reasonably fast. With only three terminals sharing a connection, I suppose it can’t but be.
