A pisonet, also known as piso wifi, is a ''mini-type'' internet cafe or computer shop mainly found in the areas of Metro Manila and the Philippines.[1] A "pisonet" is a major hub for internet enthusiasts and children who only have a small amount of money to surf and play some games which more contributes "demand" to this business.[2]
The rates usually start from 10 Peso and can vary cafe to cafe.[3]
Etymology[edit]
Pisonet came from the words "piso" or one peso, and "internet", "pisong internet" meaning one peso internet (rent).
History[edit]
Pisonet was invented around 2010. Internet access has not improved much with 60% of poor neighborhoods in Manila lacking basic internet access.[4]
