A pisonet, also known as "hulog-piso" is a mini-type internet or gaming vending machine. It is the contemporary with the earlier style of internet cafe. It mainly found in the areas of Metro Manila and then later most popularly operated in Iligan City, Philippines with the combined effort of Iligan's innovative technology-enthusiast people namely, Russell, Rhodel and Rolan. The idea was widely introduced by Quirk to some of Internet Cafe operators throughout the city and then later introduced in the southern part of Cebu City.
It is described as "Slot machine-like Intel/AMD-based PC" build using "clone or assembled desktop PC", with LCD display monitor, boxed in an enclosed-type cubicle and mostly run under Windows Operating System. It is powered by "coin selector/acceptor" component that the users must first insert "one-peso coin, and other design accepts five-peso coin" for it to operate.
The widely use of pisonet in the southern part of the Philippines (particularly in Iligan City) helps the IT/Computer businesses and increases "ISP (Internet Service Provider) subscribers".
A pisonet is a major hub for internet enthusiasts and children who only have small amount of money to surf and play some games which more contributes "demand" to this business. It can be bought in some computer parts stores including PC Express and can be installed with the cooperation of PLDT or "Cyberya".
