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.

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.

koyogin ntn site nla

walang kwenta ang Globe supersurf na yan… panu naging unlisurf yan if may ceiling na 800MB lng per day… P*** tlga!!! mabut pa ang SMART at SUN ksi pag sinabi na UNLISURF walang CEILING tlga…. btw i’m using globe tattoo stick before sa sobrang inis ko tinapon ko na,,, i’m HAPPY with SMART..!!! kaya mag SMART na kayo!!!

Me and my boyfriend love`s to surf the net connection is good but there`s a cap? on T.V. commercials said its unlimited? The connection is good but and I thought its a dream come true but its not…. oh well at least their web site tells that on a stipulated time it will return… I guess we just have to wait till that time comes ^_^… its kinda boring though without Internet at lease he has more time with me rather than surfing the net all day… His a bit agitated right now… and so angry cause he can`t connect to his net we are currently using sharing with my wifi connection hope mine does not disconnect too soon

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.

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. :(

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

BIG JOKE!

Di tlaga unlimited ang inooffer ng globe.. dhil pag umabot ng 1gb or 800mb yung received data mo, or minsan less 800mb ma didisable na ang “1day unlimited surfing” mo at pde ka ulit mkapag internet kinabukasan..

ang msama pa nito, inadvertise pa nila sa Tv PA na unlimited surfing dw ang promo nila.. niloloko ng GLOBE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ang mga TAO..

eto ang message n dmdating.

LAKING NG PANLOLOKO NYO..
di nyo man lang pinublished ung “Globe Fair Use Policy” nyo para alam namin at para di na namin binili nag PRODUKTO NYO!

AKO NGA PALA SI MARCO GAUFO! ANG TAONG GLIT NA GALIT SA PANLOLOKO NYO!

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

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

Boo. Ano raw sa SUN?

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

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.

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