Net users swamp PacNet for Pacific Speedsurf

Thousands of young Internet users have swamped the country’s leading and only regional Internet solutions provider Pacific Internet Phils. (PacNet) for its new prepaid card Pacific Speedsurf.

This resulted largely from Pacific Speedsurf’s superior features and a PacNet promo offering instant prizes to all buyers up to Oct. 31.

The promo entitled every customer to a scratch card to win a Palm m100, t-shirt, cap, mouse pad or bonus hours.

The "Scratch a Palm" promo has yielded 17 winners of Palm m100. They are Alan Yu, Percinelli Doctura, Joseph Bustamante, Chi Fai Yeung, Ronaldo Realizo, Edmar de la Torre, Anthony Honra, Deney Reyes, Maria Dolores Alicias, Arlene Melodie Alamillo, Christine Casten, Melanie Marquez, Jose Paulo Bautista, Peter John Almazan, Argie Salango, Pia Marie Lagdameo and Mary Jane Sartorio.

The other prizes went to the rest of the buyers, according to PacNet associate marketing communications manager Deeda Pama.

"Those who haven’t claimed their prizes can do so at any PacNet outlet up to Dec. 31," Pama said. "For other details, they can visit our website www.pacific.net.ph or call the Pacific Speedsurf hotline at 683-5151."

Citing Pacific Speedsurf’s superior features as the other major reason for its brisk sale, Pama said the card enables its users to gain worry-free, affordable and quality access to infinite adventures on the Internet.

Pacific Speedsurf provides every user with a one-megabyte Web space, a personal e-mail address, mailbox space of 2MB and 60-day account termination/expiration after initial login or until free hours stated on the card are used up, whichever comes first. E-mail address termination or expiration is also 60 days after creation or renewal.

Pacific Speedsurf enables its users to control Internet expense and usage, and avoid the many hassles in application, activation and set-up of account, and monthly billings.

Pacific Internet serves the country’s largest network of dial-up and corporate leased-line customers. Its phenomenal growth in the past five years is attributed to its ability to completely deliver on all Internet requirements of both consumer and corporate subscribers.
