Globe caps SuperSurf at 800MB per day

So I looked at how Globe does their capping for unlimited mobile internet (SuperSurf) and found out that their Fair Use Policy has a somewhat similar strategy. Though this time, it’s 800MB per day.

Was wondering at first why they did it on a daily basis instead of monthly then realized that there’s no 30-day SuperSurf for prepaid (just for postpaid).

An 800MB daily cap translates to 24GB per month (30 days) so that seems reasonable. I guess their tagline “Walang Metro” only applies to the time-based not not really the bandwidth.

However, unlike Smart’s Fair Use Policy which throttles you down to a slower speed, Globe’s SuperSurf will totally disconnect you to their network when you reach the daily limit. You can go back and surf again the following day, when your 800MB quota will be refreshed.

  1. seems fair enough, 800mb a day is more than sufficient.

  2. wala metro kasi disconnected so meter is not running,
    nice slogan by Globe, di na sila nahiya!

  3. Much better than smart….

  4. I’ve been using globe tattoo/supersurf and I thought that this 800MB cap was an inconvenience, pero reading your post about Smart Sir Abe, parang mas ok pa rin ang globe!

    When you’re registered to supersurf50 (that’s for 1 day) and you reach the 800mb limit, you can just “unregister” and use the internet on their normal, metered rates. Don’t know what will happen if you’re registered for more than 1 day and you reach the day’s limit.

  5. Again, kinda misleading. They should just say it outright. P50/day for 800mb.

    Siguro dapat bigyan natin ang mga telcos ng dictionary. Hindi kasi nila alam ang salitang UNLIMITED.

  6. but if you max out your cap per day ay hindi ka na maka-connect, after 24 hours pa ulit.

  7. Boo. What’s SUN’s cap on it’s unlimited internet?

  8. Boo. Ano raw sa SUN?

  9. I’d like to remind people that 800mb is hardly a lot bandwidth for one day. You can easily get that much if you’re going to download a simple game client to play online games.

  10. Ok ung sa globe 800mb per day,but if you want to download m0re stuff you need to wait for the 12am in the midnight to be able to browse again

  11. Sir Yuga, how come the title of your review for this is: Canon Powershot S95 Review? lol :)

    • Bug with WordPress App on the iPhone. Fixed it na.

    • @alexei – i don’t think it makes sense to download an 800MB file on your phoje. the biggest i have downloaded ia like 60MB.

  12. @Abe, when you mention mobile internet here, are you just talking about the internet you use with your usual call & text line or does this also encompass Globe’s Tattoo Broadband / SmartBro prepaid?

    From the looks of the Smart cap, mobile browsing would pertain to the likes of Smart Buddy and Smart Gold. Not to SmartBro because the expected usage here is totally different. I would assume that the cap for Globe is also just meant for the net that comes with Globe’s prepaid/postpaid call&text lines. Globe Broadband would have a totally different usage altogether.

    • @charo – i think for Smart, SmartBro is not under mobile internet category. For Globe, I think the cap includes both mobile internet and Tattoo since both are under SuperSurf. Globe Broadband has different cap. Around 15GB to 25GB per month.

  13. yeah nangyari ito sa akin yesterday. nakita ko lang sa inbox ko na dinisable yung unli surf ko.

  14. @frozenpyro
    Totally agree with you. I have had several run-ins with Globe about their so-called unlimited surfing, and some of my emails apparently even made it as far as middle management. The last time I was in contact with them (a few months ago) was when they disconnected my prepaid Tattoo SIM without even warning me because they said I went over their limit on the unlimited service. Of course, I threatened to sue them and to report them to the Ad Standards Council, but unfortunately never got around to it.

    Well, pasok pa rin naman yata ang complaints ko sa statute of limitations ng violation nila (as far as I know; will have to check, though) and I downloaded the pages on their site, so wala silang ligtas if I decide to push through with a lawsuit or a formal complaint.

  15. From 2GB TO 1GB and now it came up to 800MB a day.

  16. buti na lang ako, naka vpn at proxy, cap? dinudugas tayo ng mga telco, tama lang na gantihan natin sila.

    internet freedom means free internet access!

  17. Mas ok naman to kesa sa SMART at SUN. Grabe. Tinry ko yung mga unlimited nilang tatlo. Yung sa smart, palaging may problema, ayaw kumonek kahit 5bars yung signal. Yung sun naman sa madaling araw lang. Pero yung Globe, mabilis halos sa buong araw kaya nga lang hindi pede sa mga heavy user katulad ko. Kaya nagregister ako mga 8pm tapos saktong 12 naka 800MB na ako. Thanks

  18. Technically, you can stretch the Globe Tattoo capping from 800mb to 1,600 Mb per day. That is if you’ll load at some point of the day, say at 12pm, you’ll be able to surf and download for 800 Mb before Globe temporarily stops your subscription. Then, when midnight comes, you’ll be able to start surfing and downloading again till 12pm the next day as your subscription will be terminated on that time whether you reach another 800 Mb or not for the next day.

    At this point, you could load and register for another SUPERSURF50 run and basically just do the same till the next day.

    I know this because I am experiencing it first hand and daily with my prepaid Globe Tattoo on my laptop.

    I use to get furious about Globe capping my Prepaid Internet Connection but after reading Smart’s way of capping, I guess I have to settle with the “lesser evil.” ;-)

  19. Oh, just a tip… It’s Youtube and other flash related websites which sucks the most from your 800 Mb limitation.

  20. @daninjakitten

    a limit to their unlimited service? the irony..

  21. This is the reason why I sold m Globe Tattoo. I’m now with Sun, which is not any better. Crawling speeds…

  22. I want to try the sun unlimited broadband next time
    sana naman mas ok and d madalas mawalan ng signal bars everytime i use myglobe tatto0 usb broadband”,

  23. just get ADSL or cable internet guys

  24. @mindyq
    cge gumamit ka ng dsl while driving, at the school, mall etc.

  25. i was locked out twice, when i downloaded ubuntu and then when i installed programs. I used 2 sims for it. So i guess their tv commercial is not exactly true

  26. Not happening on me on Postpaid SUPERSURF which is 1,200 on top my bill. I’m using iPhone internet tethering to my MacBook. I downloaded more than 15GB a day. Speed still up to 3Mbps and i get about 2.5Mbps.

  27. For Prepaid. You can just unregister your current terminated SuperSurf subscription then register again to get another 800MB. Its like 50pesos/800MB.

  28. 800 MB is pretty small these days. Imagine manood ka lang ng youtube ang laki na ng bandwith na macoconsume. What if whole day kang online – I’m sure you can consume more than the 800 MB cap. D ka na rin makakadownload ng movies (download lang ng legal at walang copyright infringement ha :D )

  29. im under a postpaid blackberry unlimtd service i consume around 1gb perday for tehtering, not experiencing cap…i guess its a different issue for postpaid..

  30. Maiba tayo ng topic sir Abe but related to internet din.. Have you heard www.wi-free.com? LEGAL po bang gamitin sa pinas?

  31. Para po saken Kulang yung 800mb.
    pero kung iko-compare mo naman po
    sa ibang mga ISP,
    Globe na po halos yung pinaka the best
    sa Internet service..
    Sobrang Bilis po kasi dito sa bahay namin.
    minsan pa nga po umaabot ng 3mbps pag madaling araw.

    Mas mabilis pa kesa sa Wi-Tribe 4g.
    tas diba sa Wi-Tribe pagkakatanda ko po
    P200/gb.. tas good for 1month pa yun.
    eeh wala pa sigurong 12hours kang online kapag nanunuod ka ng youtube
    ubos na kagad yung 1gb.

  32. kakainis tlaga ung 800mb cap. ngaun di na ako makadownload ng torrents. mas maganda ung smart on this. un nga lang wla akong 3g signal dito samin. kaya bumili pa ako ng globe tatoo. pero day 1 pa lg of use prompted na ung 800 mb warning sms. tas kung kelan ka talaga na consume dun rin sya mag resume. ang tagal ko pa nag antay.

    yeah right @ commenter mas maganda pa gumamit ng proxy. kaya lg mejo mabagal kumpara sa original setting.

  33. just compare globe, smart and sun to a succubus that would suck the fun out from websurfing…
    as for me, i am happy with my landline dsl plan.. although it is expensive and i cant connect while on the road, but its internet speed is consistent. so what if i cant connect while on the road, do i really need to watch a youtube video or update my facebook with my ipad or nokia c3 while in edsa??? wala pa akong balak magpakamatay sa kamay ng holdaper.

  34. Due to the limited frequencies assigned to Globe and other telcos, you should not expect to have unlimited data downloads. Unlimited here means you can stay online indefinitely while you are subscribed to the “unlimited” service and haven’t gotten over the maximum bandwidth (sounds ironic).

    Mobile telco’s aren’t designed to accomodate heavy downloads. If you are a heavy user, it’s better to have a wired connection.

  35. @neo
    wait, mas maganda ang smart? Mas maganda ang 1.5Gb limit per month vs 800 Mb limit per day? Really?

  36. @lolipop
    the 1.5gb from smart only applies for their postpaid galaxy tab and n8 unli internet plans.
    doesnt apply for prepaid.

    and besides as yuga states he only discovered it at the smart website. he didnt experienced it first hand. also who knows if its implemented now.

  37. Langya yang mga telco na yan. para tayong bumabalik sa Dial-up days na may capping ah. Buti pa yung dial up pag nag exceed ka add ka lang ng data charges sa bill and ok na yun.

    They shouldnt call it unlimited kase sobrang liit nyan. pwede pa unlimited similar with web hosting companies na 999999mb ayan pwede yan tawagin unlimitied pero yung 800mb at 1.5G is useless lalo na ngayun.

    In 2011 dadami pa ang mobile device users since lahat ng tech. papunta dun. maiiwan na ang desktop and laptops since mobile users will most likely use their mobile devices for instant research for, restaurants, friends, shopping, travel etc. less hassle kesa ilalabas mo pa ang laptop mo or notebook mo para lang mag google.

  38. solution:
    use “opera turbo” feature in opera browser. i’m sure that you’ll get lower bandwidth since opera turbo compresses all images when you browse the internet.
    at least, this is a way for extending your browsing life.

  39. I support CAPS! lol

    Seriously, better than then network congestion.

  40. Matagal ng may cap ang globe. Nasa website nila mismo http://www.gameops.net/2010/09/globe-telecom-adds-metro-to-super-surf.html

  41. experienced the hard and expensive way during the first 2 weeks of using globe tattoo prepaid on my newly bought pc after the free 125 hours promo. many times ive experienced the 800mb cap even without youtube and p2p. sometimes 2 – 3 minutes surfing , nagiging 10mb na agad especially if naka 1.4-1.9mbps and dl speed. what i did i just disabled shockwave flash player and deactivated windows auto updates and antivirus updates. these 3 were the culprits of why such a huge memory usage after so short period of time. no worry for me since i have deepfreeze installed. now it is back to normal. ave 25-30mb per hour on usual surfing,facebook and ym chat. 800mb/24 hours = roughly 33mb/hour.
    for now ill stick to globe tattoo. no choice since globe has a much stronger signal than smart. an earlier post was right. sometimes, the dl speed spikes up to 2.4-3mbps. in my area, the signal is hsdpa with ave dl speed 1.2-1.9mbps average. the actual dl speed ive got ranges from 140 – 195 kbps (when downloading a file).

    suggestion to globe…bring it back to 1gig or higher or much more unlimited after the holidays.

    also train your cs to answer queries re fair usage policy on a more natural and professional manner and not scripted. consumers are not dumb these days anymore. and not always use the ntc/fair usage policy excuse. (“kase po regulated ng ntc yung fair usage policy blah blah blah).

  42. better use wi-free for your unlimited internet needs. check out my blog. call me at 093265*****. its only 350 per month for unlimited internet EVEN WITHOUT LOAD

    rory

  43. Letseng Globe yan.. kung nasa globe fair policy dapat pagka load mo pa lang super surf 50. nakalagay na yun 800MB cap, first time ko gumamit ng globe tatoo and i was downloading some patches para sa game ko.. nagulat na lang ako biglang nawala ng net … shet naubos na pala 800mb in 3 hrz… WTF….. sana ma lang lang binaba nila kahit 128kbps… i dont think its fair.. what if a restaurant offer bottom less drink… bottomless drink pero bawal mawalan ng icetea yun baso .. pag nawalan na ng icetea.. wala na refill… damnn.. parang ganyan ginagawa ng globe… pls dont make your subscriber stupid… i still thank sun for all their effort kung wala sila.. WALA PA SIGURONG unlimited and smart and GLOBE.. imagine siguro 3 pesos na per txt msg ngayon kung wala ang SUN…

  44. i using globe tatto and aply to unlimited surf for one day tapos bigla nlang na disconect and i call the customer service and they explain thier policy and i said alam ba nyo ang ibig sabihin ng unlimited, nakkagilgil tapat sa ads plang sabihin nila ung totoo.Dapat huwag nilang gamitin ung salitang UNLIMITED kng maging limited or disconect karin sa bandang huli. para sa akin mapa globe o smart parihas silang huwad. gayahin nila ang Mang Inasal yan ang tunay na unlimited (rice)

  45. sana mas maging transparent ang mga company about these matters at hindi ipasa sa mga consumers ung responsibility na idiscover pa ito bago malaman. that’s why I kinda like wi-tribe’s approach, kinda direct at honest. at least walang gaanong tendency to mislead… but service-wise, I’ll still go for globe

  46. Do they have capping on postpaid unli plan?

    -Sent via YugaTech Mobile App

  47. Sir Abe, tagal na nyan.. ngayun mo lang na-post? bagal mo.

  48. I’ve used globe prepaid during the sign off of NU 107 and I did not make it ’til 12 MN… The cap back then was 1GB and lasted more or less 5 hours of media streaming… now it’s 800 MB… it’s not unlimited after all… it’s deceiving that TelCo’s does not include their Fair Usage Policy in their ads!

  49. http://www.manilatimes.net/index.php/business-columns/36310-ntc-caps-broadband-data-volume-

  50. i think globe knows that 800mb per day sucks thats why they didnt put it as the name of the promo or even as a slogan of this promo. they knew it themselves that it may cost them the market if the consumers immediately know that it has an 800mb cap, its an obvious turn off.

  51. better than smartbuddy

    worst than smartbro..

    :)

  52. 800MB is huge already!.. Unless your downloading torrentz.. hehe…

    • Many of us are not just browsing Facebook or checking mails (boring). We like downloading movies, softwares, mp3’s, large files. 800mb sucks… Again, only in the Philippines =(

  53. way better than smart..

  56. @marco
    simple lang yan eh.
    Wag ka maginternet gamit ang unlisurf at wag magpaloko

  57. well better use smartbro.. no capping :-)

  58. Sucks, is this a new policy? I’ve definitely done more than 800MB in a day before and not had a problem. Does this effect corporate accounts? I like streaming movies on the go and this will definitely kill that ability. This country used to be so much better that the rest when it came to stuff like capping, it made up for the piss poor speeds. Now its just starting to suck. :(

  59. I thought the promo was labelled UNLIMITED surfing. Oh c’mon Globe people, may pinag-aralan naman kayo siguro. Hindi unli pag may limit!!..
    I’m not satisfied ..

  60. ah,when the subscription reach 800mb at 10 pm, can I browse again on the net at 12 am since it was considered “tomorrow” or should I wait for 24 hours, like , 10pm the next day? I am really confuse about the subscription time, since I registered in different hours of the day, mostly 3am..

    • yes you can do that i tried that earlier if u subscribe on 10 pm u can surf on 12 am becauseit says tomorrow

  61. tapos na ba yung Promo nila? kasi when i tried to register last night it sez “Sorry hindi pa ma-process ang iyong request, please try again later”

    is it??

  62. @maritess u dont have to wait that long, if got stoppe by the policy at 10pm u can resume rightaway at 12am.

  63. @ nameless.. thanks.. yeah actually I tried it and it came at 12am..

  64. Mabilis ba yung Wi-free? meron na ako nung program kaso hindi pa ako nakaka order ng voucher kasi hindi ko alam kung maganda and mabilis yung performance. any review?

  65. @reneil – hi im a reseller of wi-free. you can buy from me a voucher code if you want. in terms of speed, its really like having a regular load in your globe tattoo, you wont notice the difference. you can call me at 093265***** for more info

  66. Is Wi-Free a legal service?

  67. Unlimited means unlimited. How can you call something unlimited when you limit it at 800MB. That’s false advertising. That won’t happen in Australia and the US. Dito lang sa Pinas nangyayari iyan kasi kibit-balikat lang ang mga consumers dito kapag natatapakan ang kanilang karapatan.

  68. nice… i can use the service for 16000mb for 24 hours… I used to download anime episodes and it really bothers me that the globe limits it to 800mb, at least now, i can download up to 30 episodes in a day..strategy is the key… haha….

  69. its not necessarily 24hrs. here’s a tip. lets say you subscribed around lunch so you have until lunch tomorrow before your subscription ends. the 800mb limit ends at exactly 00:00am as per globe time so after that by 00:01am u have fresh 800mb again until lunch the other day. Remember to consume the 800mb cap before 00:00am so you can get the fresh 800mb cap again. all in all you get 1600mb. hope this helps.

  70. 800MB? kulang ito para s downloading Videos, gaya s akin my mga research ako n kelangan ko mgdownload ng mga videos s youtube hindi ko kc kya tu2kan wtch ung video kc BUSY ako lagi kya gngawa kinokopya ko nlng ung website tpos download ko mgisa nya tpos iwanan me ulit blik ulit s gngawa.. kya hindi n ako pabor s Globe tattoo dhil limited nlng e2 ng 800MB ang nk2bwisit p f disconnected kna at mgpaUNREG k para mkgamit k ulit wlang reply ang globe kya antay me ulit 1day!!!!!!!!!

  71. I have been using Supersurf for postpaid but i think wala ata capping sa postpaid and the speed is up to 2.5Mbps…

    been downloading this day up to 3.2gb of selected series and movies and going pa din ang downloading and surfing

  72. ipinaalam ba to sa mga consumers bago ipinatupad? curious lang ako.. sa area kasi namin, globe coverage sucks big time. i can hardly connect, di ako matulungan ng tech support nila tapos madalas ako babaan ng phone ng customer service pag di na nila alam isasagot. nakakdismaya kasi di naman ako yung tipo ng customer na naninigaw, gusto ko lang maayos yung problema ko. i have since switched to DSL para stable yung connection. if i want to use the laptop or my mobile,wifi hotspot na lang. pag wala, e di tiis muna ng walang connection. di naman kailangang laging online. (for me lang po yun ha)

  73. Ok lang sana may capping pero sana naman hindi putulin ang internet ng ganun nalang.

    Bakit hindi nalang nila bagalan yung speed atleast may connection parin.

    Yung unlimited atah na sinasabi nila pang facebook lang or text-based na browsing. Kulang pa ba ang budget nila para mag dagdag ng ilang letra sa mga ads nila?

    Sinong bobong tao ang walang paki-alam sa mga users ang nag pa implement ng ganitong policy?

    Masyadong greedy na talaga mga company ngayon. Hindi na ako nakakasakay sa panahon.

    Sana nalang monthly yung capping nila like 100GB per month. Yung 25GB per month na capping nila para naring nag 800mb per day ka. 1month – 31days – 25GB kayo nalang magcalculate mahina ako sa math pero di ako tanga para magkibit balikat nalang.

    Sun na gamit ko kahit mabagal sa streaming pero atleast di ako pressured na gumamit ng internet 100 pesos 3 days unlimited atleast hindi naman nawawalang ng net kahit papano. Pag online ang kapitbahay ko nakiki connect nalang ako sa Unsecured Wireless connection niya which is better kasi nakapostpaid siya. Sayang hindi siya addict sa net kaya maaga natutulog. Minsan hindi nagnenet.

    Sana magkaroon ng WORLD WAR 3 or 4 at masakop na ang Pilipinas.

  74. Mga T@nga wag na kayo gumamit kung ganyan ang sasabihin niyo mas maganda toh kapag naglalaro ka ng online games mag globe dsl nalang kayo dun! dun kayo makakapag download ng mga porn na dinadownload niyo walang limit mabilis pa.
    Para sa online games at social networks lang talaga itong supersurf kaya sulit sulit…
    Hindi ko kayo inaaway sinasabihan ko lang kasi nagsisipag ang globe hindi gaya ng iba dyan ang bagal bagal pero wala namang cap.Globe is better than any network.My opinion.

  75. Kasali rin ba ang mga Postpaid subcribers ng Supersurf Plan 999 dito sa 800MB cap?

  76. 1. not limited; unrestricted; unconfined
    2. boundless; infinite; vast
    3. without any qualification or exception; unconditional.
    you don’t advertise it as unlimited if there’s going to be a condition.

    BLAH…BLAH… ang advertising nga naman makapanloko lang….

  77. Kung gagamit kayo ng Internet using portables dongles, use Sun Broadband Wireless instead. Sa Sun Broadband Wireless kasi mas tiwala ako when it comes to broadband sticks dahil matagal bago ma-reach ang quota. Wala namang sinabi ang Globe Tattoo sticks nila eh dinaan lang nila kayo sa ads nilang napakaganda pero di kagandahan ang services. Kung loyal kayo sa Globe then stick to their broadband para hindi kayo naaabala sa bandwith quota.

  78. @Zacky Perez ang baho ng ngalangala mo ha…

  79. Misleading sila. Kung magadvertise sila ‘no limits’ ‘unlimited surfing’ daw. Yun pla my 800mb limit. Paano mo mae-enjoy ang 50 pesos mo kung ganon? Wla pang klahating araw di kna mkpg-search. Anong silbi ng tagline nilang ‘Live without limits’???? Mga manloloko.

  80. ginagawang tanga ng globe ang mga tao

  81. Misleading talaga Globe. Sa US pwede sila sue.. Class action lawsuit lang. Unless ibahin nila ads nila. Sabihin nila ang totoo na may limit na 800MB. Ni walang nabanggit nito sa ads nila. Madaya talaga. SMART and SUN totoong walang limit. oo capped na after a certain MB is reached. pero at least di ka disconnected. Kung sino man may pera sa inyo para magsimula ng class action lawsuit, panigurado madami sasali. Wala kasing choice sa area namin kundi Globe. Bwisit nga eh.

  82. Napaka walang kwenta ng Globe, akala ko pa naman “No Limits” yun pla 800MB lng wala ka nang net. Napaka sinungaling at misleading ang mga advertisement nila. Dapat ipaCensor ung mga pinagsasabi nila, oh kaya sinasabi nila sa advertisement na may Cap pla ang connction nila. “Unlimited”? “No Limits”? I was expecting so much from Tattoo, though it seems that it failed me. Babalik na lang ako ky Bro.

    Guys meron ba gusto bumili ng Globe Tatto Stick jan, Brand new, 1 week pa lng nabibili nand2 pa resibo. benta ko Php500 n lang.

    • bili kna lang sun sim tapos unlock mo yang broadband stick mo set mo sa setting, new profile sun broadband APN:minternet dial:*99# ok ang sun walang limit unlike globe!madaya!

  83. So stupid why unli 24/7 net if you have a cap and disconnection where’s the 24/7? if you have a cap where`s the unlimited if there`s a cap of 800mb. I just bought my broadband today and reading this comments really helped a lot thanks. Bye bye broadband I just waste money for a lying company….

  92. Globe Telecoms ‘Fair Usage Policy’: Deceptive and Bad for PH
    Posted: April 6th, 2011 | Author: TXTPower | Filed under: News | 3 Comments »
    Globe Telecoms, the perennial second placer in the mobile telecoms sector, is not doing any good to the Philippines and its subscribers with its deceptively-labeled Fair Usage Policy. Worse, it may be a convenient way to hide problems in network capacity, quality and reliability of telcos, which is an obvious hindrance to more widespread use of the internet and social media as an enabler for stakeholders in the country’s progress.

    Globe Telecom’s data caps which allegedly target the abusive five percent of its subscribers actually cover 100 percent of all of Globe Telecom subscribers. Is that fair? No.

    Telcos such as Globe Telecoms should be careful in referring to any of its subscribers as “abusers” especially in this age of the internet and social media. Those same abusers may actually be small and medium-scale businesses, home-based online entrepreneurs, OFW families keeping constant touch or netizens in the cutting-edge of surging social media in the Philippines.

    We call on President Aquino to direct the National Telecommunications Commission to perform its functions as telecom regulator. It should check whether Globe Telecom has sufficient network infrastructure and bandwidth for its 26.5 million mobile subscribers and 1.1 million broadband subscribers. There is a growing suspicion that Globe Telecom imposed the data caps not so much because of user abuse, but maybe due to the network’s oversubscription and insufficient network capacity for both current and future subscribers. All telcos should be covered by this NTC appraisal and inventory.

    Globe Telecom’s data cap announcement claims that five percent of its mobile internet and broadband users purportedly corner 80 percent of available bandwidth. This “figure” is no different and may be the same figure cited in late 2010 by the Philippine Chamber of Telecom Operators. Both are at the very least suspect. But something should come out because of these claims by Globe Telecom and PCTO: These so-called “studies” ought to compel the NTC to perform its own, independent checks covering usage, current network infrastructure and both ongoing and future investments to expand both reach and bandwidth capacity. NTC should penalize telcos that underdeliver and let their services to be oversubscribed or to be falsely advertised.

    Before Globe Telecoms and other PCTO members point to telcos in countries as models for their data caps, we should remind them that many of those countries have fast and reliable internet in the first place. That cannot be said for telcos in the Philippines which cannot provide true 3G, 3.5G and 4G connections. Telcos led by PLDT and Globe Telecom are pulling the Philippines to the bottom of lists of countries in terms of internet speeds.

    Globe Telecom argues that there’s no law or regulations stopping it from imposing data caps. That is not true. It was among the telcos which helped put out the draft NTC memorandum-circular on minimum broadband speed. Bowing to consumer protests, the NTC has already decided against the provision on data caps. We hope the NTC stands by its decision and that telcos, led by Globe Telecom would abide by it.

    President Aquino should keep an eye on internet speeds and service quality because more and more Filipinos are going online for business and work, education, advocacy and causes, and other important purposes. Internet access ought to be an open, affordable and reliable enabler. The irony is that while more and more governments worldwide have realized this and are moving towards greater and universal access, telcos in the Philippines are out to curtail usage and are allowed to gouge the public with their substandard and unreliable services.

    […] TXTPower, a mobile users watchdog, has a very cogent suggestion: for the government to conduct an independent review of telcoms companies’ existing facilities and services vis-à-vis consumer demand. Let’s hope that the National Telecommunications Commission finds it persuasive enough. But if you doubt that, then let’s all be vigilant and defend our universal right to a better Internet.

  93. walang kwenta nag globe ang bobo .. sabi unlimited kapag nagpaload .. di nila alam ang ibig sabihin ng unlimited mga bobo kasi ang globe mga walang kwenta .. ang globe prepaid yan ang ginagamit para sa globe broadband di lang yan para sa phone .. at ang pangit pa ng koneksyon nila ang bagal pa ng response kapag nag paregister .. walang kwentang globe .. tanggalin nila ang cap di naman taasan nila hanggang 10gb .. mga putang inang gago tarantado ang globe makapangloko para lang kumita ang puta ..

  94. The problem is: If it comes to internet – the Philippines unfortunately don’t have a free market. Smartbro and Globe share the market and until now they can do what they want. If the government would allow foreign companies to get in, thousands of Globe and Smartbro subscriber would swap to other providers. There would be no more forced 2 years contracts and the prices would drop dramatically.
