                    [Summary] => Unlimited text and call services being offered by cellular companies will now be limited to certain hours of the day or during off-peak hours to avoid network congestion.


National Telecommunications Commission chief Ronald Solis said unlimited service may now be offered only during the off-peak hours of 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. On the other hand, calls made during peak hours may automatically be terminated after five minutes by the operator if their desired drop call rate cannot be met.

"Sun has all but confirmed the validity of the complaints against it – that it has utterly failed to meet the service performance standards set by the NTC for telecommunication companies," Smart legal services head Rogelio Quevedo said.
