A pisonet, also known as "hulog-piso" is an arcade style computer unit used as a internet or gaming vending machine. It is the contemporary with the earlier style of internet cafe. It is mainly found in the areas of Metro Manila and Iligan City, Philippines. The idea was widely introduced to some Internet Cafe operators throughout the city and then later introduced to 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. As of 2013, a one peso coin will provide the user 4 minutes of Internet use.
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".
