Yung data bank na nagtretrending ngayon naplano ni BBM para mabilis ang wifi…

wag ka magalala pre, di ka nagiisa. si LBM din, namiss nya plano nya.

Data storage, gamit ng mga companies for their apps, websites, etc., nowadays are mostly cloud based, meaning wala sa server room sa bldg ng kanilang company (in-house), it’s in the cloud. Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft’s Azure, ang mga “sikat” na nagpprovide ng cloud-based services, including storage. The closer sa requestor (user ng app, website) ang server ng company, the faster the response sa user (usually replicated in multiple server locations yung data, for faster response, well, depende). Mabilis magload yung website/app (but ang dami pang other factors sa response speed, like yung implementation ng kanilang code).

To answer your answer if mapapabilis ang internet connection, no, but the connection between server and client (user), yes. So kahit mabagal ang internet speed mo (from speed tests), parang mabilis lang din tingnan. It’s not everything about bandwidth/speed.

And yes, we need more infra. Sa mga wired connection, malaking improvement natin dito because of fiber connections. Ang problema lang is not everyone is naka-fiber. Naka DSL pa din ang iba (usually old subscribers), or walang available fiber sa area. Sa wireless naman, dito tayo mejo malaki ang problema, although improving naman. If naka LTE/5G lang sana lahat ng towers, and mas marami yung towers, malaking tulong sana yun.

For a layman's perspective not bad naman ung sinabi nya, mali lang siguro ang term na data bank. He's speaking about edge locations or data centers. Kunwari you're browsing Netflix or Twitter, those services run on AWS data centers that are not located here sa bansa natin, closest are either Hongkong or Singapore. If AWS and other big cloud companies such as Google or Microsoft opens their datacenters here then we can have faster access to those services. However di naman talaga nya mapapabilis ang internet speed natin in general, just access to those outbound services; hence dinugtungan nya ng kailangan ng bigger bandwidth to accommodate those.

Since nabanggit narin naman nya ung 2 IT companies that are planning to expand here, maybe he's referring to this news that a Chinese and a US company is planning to establish their own datacenters here. Sa totoo lang medyo napagiwanan na tayo when it comes to this, meron nang AWS datacenters sa Indonesia and Azure datacenters sa Indonesia and Malaysia. Wala kasi tayong ganun ka reliable infrastructure, partnered with red tape and natural calamities, mahirap talaga magestablish ng sariling datacenter dito. Even PLDT and Globe are planning to sell their own datacenters.

Nakita ko sa tiktok bilib na bilib yung mga nagcomment. Meron pa isa IT daw sya at tama daw sinasabi nya lol. Actually kahit gumawa ka pa nyang sinasabi nya dadaan pa rin sa hongkong yun dahil doon tayo nakaconnect via undersea or subsea cables dahil nandoon ang pinakamalapit na internet exchange point. Sa tingin ko mabilis naman ang internet sa Pilipinas if you can afford to pay more.

Tuwang tuwa naman ang mga panatiko nakarinig ng data bank pampabilis daw ng internet

Taena ayusin muna nila ung infra and red tape bago magtayo ng data center. It's pretty pointless to have one if we can't sustain to have one 🤷.

Bilib na bilib sila sa tiktok jan eh.

Hahahahaha mga mangmang sa social media ang tuwang tuwa dyan

mamigay nalang sya ng libreng wifi mesh, kahit wala nang share sa tallano gold. mas convincing pa yun hahaha

may link ka nyan? di ko mahanap

sa YT lang nasulpot and ayoko bigyan ng views at baka puro useless info laman lang nun haha
