pasalamat na pala ako sa allegedly 100 mbps DSL connection ko.

no sir, thats just your LAN speed. its just a physical connection to pldt. at maximum, ur getting 2mb. trust me.

if ur getting 100mb, then you can download a dvd collection of 5 dvds all in about 3.91 minutes.....

pldt is advertising broadband?thats a laugh...broadband is from 15-100mbps...curse them!!

my idea of broadband, a t3 connection with a fibre optic backbone connected to my Pocket PC.

i think your addicted to the internet if first thing you do upon waking up in the morning is to open your pc and surf the net... or kung inaabot ka ng wee hours going online..

Guilty, except that it's all work-related. Pero pag weekends gabi/madaling araw lang ako nakakapag-internet. XP

Partly guilty. I've played Zero Wing.

Here are some symptoms I know:

You scour for the rarest anime, OSTs, manga, or show episodes, and ACTUALLY find them.
You read through Japanese/Chinese/Arabian text just to find something and you actually know what you're reading.
You know about every single Internet meme existing, i.e. DO NOT WANT.

How bout this: You can spend the whole day in Google Earth, looking for your friend's house. Oh, and Area 51.

finding your way to the other people's backyard doors which i almost did.I mean,trying to find to hack other databases.It was tempting but nah...i'll pass.

Internet addiction disorder (IAD) is a hypothetical disorder originally made as a satirical hoax by Ivan Goldberg, M.D., in 1995. He took pathological gambling as diagnosed by the DSM-IV as his model for the spoofed description.

Although IAD was meant to be a hoax, it is promoted as a real condition by some supporters. Supporters often divide IAD into subtypes by activity, such as pornography, overwhelming and immoderate gaming, inappropriate involvement in online social networking sites or blogging, and Internet shopping addiction. Activities which, if done in person, would normally be considered troublesome, such as compulsive gambling or shopping, are sometimes called net compulsions. Others, such as reading or playing computer games, are troubling only to the extent that these activities interfere with normal life.

Problematic computer use or pathological computer use are accepted descriptions for excessive computer use that interferes with daily life. These terms avoid the distracting and divisive term addiction and are not limited to any single cause.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@roachy: if you ask me from a medical point of view, it's really when things get out of hand or when things actually distract you from the real world and your activities of daily living that it will pose as a problem.

I remember when I wa still in med school, I got addicted with playing Diablo II from night 'til sunrise that my studies got affected. I stopped the moment I realized what was going on.

Right now I go online as soon as I get home from work, but while in the office, offline ako. People interaction is a big part of what I do on a daily basis.

Pero in your case, boredom nga lang siguro yan.
