How to stop google.com bookmark from redirecting

to local google versions.

For example I type in google.com and I get redirected to google.com.ph (Philippines)

I've been trying to find an easy way to avoid getting redirected for so long. Seems the solution was simple enough.

The link I now use for google is this:

www.google.com/ncr or www.google.com/webhp

I think it works for all country local sites.

Hope it helps!

Bayantel DSL vs Globe Broadband

Truthfully there is no contest. Bayantel wins this one hands down.

Bayantel DSL delivers their promised speed and also allows port forwarding, an important feature to most of us. Globe Broadband on the other hand, has intermittent connections, slow speeds during peak hours and no port forwarding.

Too bad Bayantel DSL is not available at my Baguio location.
