Globe DSL switches from daily to monthly data caps

hindi naman automatic na malilipat sabi sa website na ito. Buti pa to mas complete

Sa first month or 2 months mong subscription wala pang data cap yan, pero kapag tumagal na dun mo na mapapansin na bumabagal na connection mo. Samantalahin mo na yan hangga’t maaga pa. XD

It’s suppose to be a box of donut… for every subscriber.

Even though data connectivity is becoming more of a necessity nowadays, it is still not as basic as water and electricity. Mas mahigpit ( ng konti ) ang gobyerno sa mga public utilities kaya nga hindi ka basta basta na lang putulan ng linya ng tubig o kuryente eh.

rape mas engot ka ang labo ng analogy mo. kuryente at tubig? metered mga yan hunghang, you pay for your mileage kaya walang cap. bobo pota.

Please watch this first ng maliwanagan ka.

Ay wait, baka ayaw mo kasi mababawasan natitirang data allocation mo. hahaha :P

*imagine

jaye, gisingin mo utak mo, 10k/month yng tinutukoy mo

We are talking here of fixed-line broadband service and not mobile data.

Check the website now. Naging 256Kbps na. Sneaky din si PLDT.

P.S. Ampanget ng comments box system dito, Yuga. Paki-migrate na sa Disqus, please. :D

So you are willing to pay 1099 and up for FB, Twitter and Instagram use? Hahahha! BTW, I am not a heavy bandwith user (don’t download torrents, play online games etc.) pero I think these new plans are just so absurd!

Eto yung petition. Recruit ka pa ng marami! :-D

“Globe is trash now”. Kailan pa naging hindi basura ang Globe DSL?

The terms and conditions under Globe-customer contracts cover a provision on Fair Use Policy for unlimited services. This allows Globe to provide everyone with the same quality of service across the network.

Data capping should only apply to wireless data service and not to wired connection. This is evil.

Pre kahit old subscriber ka kung may pinachange ka sa plan mo, magma-migrate ka sa bagong scheme

Well, I hate to break it to you but I’ve had my fair share of experience with PLDT. Eventhough wala ngang data cap, it’s masked by consistent disconnections especially every night. Ang tagal dumating ng tech nila at ang daming dumb excuses pag may network problem. At yun ibang town walang access ng PLDT. That’s why i’ve switched to Globe. Okay naman service nila eh, until this one came. Oh well, terminate nalang after my subscription. :)

for PLDT afaik DSL has at least one capped plan and for fibr it also has at least one capped plan. So as long as you avoid those 2 plans, both DSL and fibr are ok. Your post is unfair to fibr

Edit: Sobrang bagal ng globe hindi nag load yung picture -_- Tama na ang kalokohan ng Globe nato.After ng contract ko sa Globe lipat na kami sa pldt trusted pa naman namin yang globe na yan. And btw, PEOPLE SUPPORT THIS PETITION: https://www.change.org/p/globe-telecom-trash-the-new-globe-tattoo-home-dsl-plans

calvin, P1299 dsl/landline din plan ko sa globe. bakit 5gb/day ka pa din? mga mahigit isang taon na na dapat 7gb/day yan dahil 3mbps na speed dahil nagbaba sila ng plan dati. pina upgrade mo sana sayang. di ko alam kung pwede ba i upgrade yan ngayon dahil bago na lineup ng plans nila.

buti pala naabutan ko pa etong daily cap. 50gb/month is not enough, tapos 64kbps lang ang capped speed? 30% kasi dati. so sa 3mbps pag na cap, 1mbps pa din ang speed ng plan ko.

pa upgrade mo yan bro kung pwede pa.

one of the IMHO must have programs are internet meters. DUMeter, networx, netpersec, net meter, etc etc are some common names of such programs. Windows 8 has a built in bandwidth usage counter but its very limited in functionality

note: most likely the cap is both upload and download

Well actually they haven’t. Globe still use the word ‘Unlimited’ all over their marketing material, so the average consumer doesn’t even realise there are data caps.

It’s only after they’re locked into a 12 or 24 month contract and suddenly experience problems because of the data cap that they realise and then it’s too late to do anything.

i actually asked properly.

i asked someone again ang sabi naman “di pa ma iimplement sa old subscribers until contract expires”
so after ng contract, magkaka monthly cap na.

Just want to ask you ace, did you just renew your contract recently? I think the implementation takes place immediately after your lock in period expires since you will be expected to renew your contract right after.

I think you’re probably working at globe or you just don’t understand how greedy globe is for implementing these data caps. First, they lied to the subscribers regarding their unli (not really unli) data plans then this.

Same here Ace! I also prefer Globe over the other networks. Am excited about HOOQ once I renew my DSL plan hehe c:

So ang value for money para sayo e yung kinakausap ka ng customer service representative? E sakin ang value for money is never needing to talk to a customer service representative in the first place. Alam ko marami din nagrereklamo sa PLDT Dsl pero sa personal experience ko walang kaprobleproblem, although mejo bago palang linya namin mga 7 months pa lang. I can honestly say no throttling and capping, no downtime. We came from Bayantel dsl by the way, which sucks hard but I heard was still far better than Globe, I wouldnt know and I don’t care anymore. All I know is that I’m happy with PLDT dsl (for now at least)

Ace, let’s be honest here. You’re probably typing this whole bullshit story at your office somewhere in Makati or Quezon. I’ve worked before in a Call Center and I know the counter-measures or damage control that your superiors instruct you to do, like the little slave you are.

This is the one implementation that draws the line for me, I’m moving to another country because I personally don’t like the internet here in the Philippines.

And one more thing, those so called “friendly reps” are bunch of script mongling retards, they don’t even understand the term “port forwarding”. All these representatives expect you to ask basic questions like “How do I restart my modem?”; people, let’s be honest here, no one is that retarded. We ask technical assistance but all they do is feed us bullshit and lies, as well as keep saying “sorry”. We don’t ask to be consoled as customers, we expect to give us the shit that we pay for.

If you’re not a globe employee and you’re still reading this, do NOT subscribe to Globe. They’re gonna cap your internet monthly, which you’ll consume in only a few days, and you know what happens once you consume the capping? They’ll provide you with 64KILOBITS a second, that’s roughly 0.512 KILOBYTES. Imagine watching a 1 minute 144p video and wait for half an hour for it to load.

Fuck Globe, either choose PLDT or Bayantel, they don’t cap your internet. You also have the option to move away far from the Philippines, which is nice.

Boycott Globe, every positive review here is directly from Globe managers and employees, don’t believe the bullshit they spew here, the only real truth is that Globe has become worse to worst.

PLDT Bro and Ultera have data caps too. Not sure about Fibr. Your best bet would be PLDT Home DSL. If you’re planning to switch to PLDT, do it now, habang wala pang data cap. lol
