A group claiming to be Anonymous Philippines said they hacked the site due to slow internet speed in the country. The site was blocked with a black background showing the “V” of “V for Vendetta” overlaid with a message from the hackers.

The message read:

We, Anonymous Philippines, are sympathizing with our fellow Filipino netizens whose battle cries are the ‘OVER PROMISED, UNDER DELIVERED’ system of our internet service providers; it is the neigh direct proportionality of our internet speeds and bandwidths in relation to price. We, as a country, suffer on the bottom of the internet pyramid having one of the lowest internet speeds while paying the same amount, or even higher, compared to other countries; adding DATA CAPPING to our ‘UNLIMITED’ data plans sums up to our great burden as an avid follower of the internet – for studies and such.”

The hackers demanded NTC that change he rules on fair servicing of data in the country, saying: “Unlimited should be patterned to its name, ‘Unlimited’. No ‘Unlimited with 800MB cap’.” 

The hackers also said that two MBPS speed should never be 56kbps.

The hackers went on to say: “Ninety-eight per cent service reliability should always be as stated, not the two per cent one.”

The hacking of the website came as government agencies conducted a pilot test on fixed broadband connection of four Internet service providers.
