Philippine phone firms' network stable after attack

sg.news.yahoo.com

MANILA (Reuters) - The country's biggest mobile phone firms said on Monday their phone network was stable despite an attack by suspected Marxist rebels who set on fire six of the firms' transmission centres in northern Philippines over the weekend.

Smart Communications Inc and Pilipino Telephone Corp (Piltel), both units of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co, said disruptions to their phone service since the attack on Saturday night were limited.

Smart, whose four sites in Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija and Tarlac provinces were damaged, re-routed phone traffic to adjoining cell sites in these areas to avoid disruption in its phone service, company spokesman Ramon Isberto told Reuters.

He said the firm's subscribers in the affected areas hardly noticed any problems in phone service because the incident took place at night when phone traffic was low.

Isberto said the situation was the same for Piltel, whose cell site in Pampanga province was burned down. Both firms were working to restore operations in the affected sites.
