The Anonymous Philippines hacked the official website of Philippine regulatory agency National Telecommunication Commision (NTC) on Sunday. According to the hackers,they sympathize with Filipino netizens who have to endure the inefficient and “over promised, under delivered” system of internet service providers in the country.



“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,”

They said, “We are asking for fairness in charging and serving our data services; Unlimited should be patterned to its name - "UNLIMITED"; not "UNLIMITED with 800MB cap". A 2MBPS speed should never be a 56kbps. A 98% service reliability should be always on the 98% part, not the 2% one.”

As of past 6 a.m., the site was not restored yet.
