Bitstop will be doing its annual maintenance and network upgrade on Dec 18-19, 2004. There will be a short window of downtime during that period. At the end of the upgrade, Bitstop will have migrated one of our E1 (2,048Kbps) to a DS3 (45Mbps) circuit from PLDT. We are also expecting dialup connection rates between Bitstop and PLDT LEC to be higher due to the transfer from copper pair to pure fiber connection.
