Globelines Broadband at 2Mbps

Got home this evening to find pamphlets at my doorstep from Globe. Apparently they are now offering broadband connections to residential areas with speeds of up to 2Mbps. Sweet.

Here are the DSL rates and prices:

*GenTxt Express Unlimited

Monthly Fee: Php995
DSL Speed: 384kbps

Express Unlimited
Monthly Fee: Php1,495 (promo price of Php995 just now)
DSL Speed: 384kbps

Explore Silver
Monthly Fee: Php1,995
DSL Speed: 768kbps

Explore Gold
Monthly Fee: Php2,995
DSL Speed: 2Mbps

* I think the GenTxt plan is for students. Not sure about it but looks very similar to the PLDT DSL student rate before (Plan 998 or something). And read this — a Globelines landline subscription is NOT a prerequisite to Globelines broadband.

The 2Mbps under Explore Gold plan did took most of my attention. Really, really nice to have something like that at home all by myself. And to think that only last year, I was paying GreenDot Php2,750 for a mere 256kbps connection.

    Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an e-mail. I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.

    Globe is the worst of the worst among internet providers in the Philippines. The slowest of the slowest in the industry. Customer complaints fall on deaf ears. Nagtataka ako kung bakit they are still in the business. Nakakatawa nga everytime we see their tv ads na they are the fastest provider. Shame on you!

    This post was old. I noticed there was a huge price difference of Globelines broadband offering during 2005 and now 2011. I am currently a subscriber of landline dsl bundle plan 1295 and its already 1Mbps unlike on 2005 where the plan 1995 only has 786Kbps.

    im paying P1,995 for my globe internet but i don’t get my money’s worth. the connection is so slow that it becomes perennial. total internet disconnection could also last for days in a month and globe is not even contrite about the inconvenience it caused, how about rebates?

    also, i dont think the 171 hotline is of any help, better run to the nearest internet cafe and vent your anger elsewhere.

    To whom it may concern

    hello globelines guys,
    i wndr if it is usual practice with your customer service to be called off, after accepting/recieving complete application documents/requirment for a certain package (landline/broadbnd connection) and it was establish that the said package is available upon receipt of the application documents, your customer service attendant told me that after a few days it will be installed but i sugeested that maybe we could set a certain date to give the installer more than enough time for my schedule will be served, i gave them more than the 3-day schedule, so thats it, we both agreed the schedule. For your guidance and information i pulled out my pending application with the bayantel thinking that we were already set for installation, but unfortunately a couple of days i was adv. that the package that i need (landline/internet connection)can be installed less the landline. i ask her why that package is no longer available in fact the date for installation has been set/approved already. what in heaven’s name you guys did this to me. my place has been set for opening. by the way i am an airline ticket agent and that package is my basic requirment for me to operate the business… NABIBITIN AKO GUYS!!! kindly do something with it nakaka inis talaga.. Please contact your customer incharge and call her attention MS. KATRINA GULA of Globelines, Burgos St., Tacloban City, Leyte

    thank you for your time

After you run your TCP test check the Route Performance and see where the bottleneck is. I think you can even have the results emailed to your ISP.

    Yuga, it seems that you and I have a thing in common. I’m a former Greendot subscriber and 2,750 Pesos is a big loss. I’ve been using Greendot since 2001. My mom subscribed for that lame, expensive ISP(Greendot). It was the hellish days of my life. My mom wouldn’t authorize me to switch into a different ISP. It was sad. Eight years have passed(OMFG YEAH), my mom realised that she’s paying for an overpriced ISP. I tried to tell her that every single day but she never listened. One of her friends told her about the latest trends. She even mentioned our ISP. That’s the time where my horrible days had ended. I planned to subscribe SkyBroadband but our area, some street here in Pasay, isn’t covered. I’m supposed to grab the Plan 6mbps(3,999 Pesos) since I can afford it now because of my current stable job as an IT Consultant, or the plan 12mbps (5,999 Pesos) 50% shared with my mom’s salary. Although, I’m currently subscribing Globe Broadband plan 2mbps(overflowing up to 2.6mbps) w/ landline. I always get disconnected everytime I’m idling. As long as my torrent’s active, my connection grips tight. xD

And the same ol CS saying things like restoration, slow browsing or system maintenance… I mean, come on! What the hell is goin on! Im on my 9th month of my 1yr lock-in period and after iv finished with it i will definitely discontinue my service. PLDT have better internet speed here in my place. Good for torrents… Hehehehe…

  56. Avatar for Ghen Ghen says:

    I used to be a smart bro subsciber before nung nasa maynila pa ako, maganda lang sa umpisa, nang mga sumunod na buwan wala na. Lage nalang nadi-disconnect at masyadong mabagal ang speed. So nung umuwi ako dito sa province ko sa leyte and decided to settle here, i tried Bayantel DSL. It sucks too but better than smart. When i moved into a new apartment, i have to transfer the connection to another municipality and it was really embarassing that they cant transfer my connection there because of blah blah blah blah. they said its because the agreement between this the municipality i was in and the municipality i’m moving to dont allow it. But they have bayantel in maasin city southern leyte too, so its really disgusting. They advice me to terminate my account there in the old place and go to the bayantel center in maasin and apply again for a new connection. What sucks more is I have to pay one hell of money for terminating the contract and i need to wait 1 week before they can connect again an internet connection to my new place. So i got fed up! and said it’s enough. They just want to squeeze money out from customers so they are doing it.

    My landlady told me of GLOBE(995 promo).
    So, i try to find out everything that i need to know, i tried to get feedbacks from my neighbors who are using globe too, they said its okay. I dont know how much globe pays them to say so. Now, i just realize, since January 5, 2008 until now, when did i ever have a good connection? When i call customer service all i can get is that there is a technical problem and the restoration is on-going and it’s going to be finish soon and BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! It keeps getting DC and DC and DC. There were even days that no connection at all for almost a week.

    SO NOW, ANYONE TELL ME, IS THERE REALLY A GOOD COMMUNICATION COMPANY WHO IS HONEST ENOUGH AND WILL GIVE US WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSE TO GET OUT OF WHAT WE PAY FOR?

    FOR GLOBE: WHY DONT U TRY TO BE HONEST AND JUST GET THIS WHOLE THING DONE, BEFORE YOUR VISAYAS AND MINDANAO SUBSCRIBERS ARE ALL GONE?

    Globelines Broadband is a scam!!! Letting us customers experience their 7-day trial period of real broadband speed then they will tie us in their 1yr bond then after that the HELL ON EARTH of internet begins.

    I am experiencing problems with globelines broadband… I subscribed to their 512kbps wireless broadband package with wireless phone (PHP1295/mo.)… they gave me 7 days trial period and within that trial period I was amazed with the speed… pumapalo from 700+ kbps to 1+ mb… kaya pina-activate ko kaagad. Pero eto na ang kalbaryo… right after the 7-day trial period nagsimula nang maging intermitent ang connection speed nila either super bagal (I even got 5bps or lower!!!) o totally walang connection. Lagi ako nagrereklamo sa CS nila pero wala naman sila ginawa kundi palitan yung modem na wala naman nagbago ganon pa din naman problema. My work is related to IT and I know that there is no problem at my side (hardware, softwares, cabling, etc…). Kakainis na talaga ang service ng globelines… feeling ko naloko lang ako kase nakatali ako ngayon sa kanila for 1yr dahil sa 1yr bond na kasama sa package.

    Call their customer service again to complain my no connection statues, they wont know that I wasn’t visited yet after more than 5 months. I cancelled my visit request that moment and then after a week somebody called me from Globelines contructor saying that they are about to visit my place to assess my connection, wherein a week before I cancelled it already. The stupid man on the phone is insisting that I should have been to their office to cancel my request and I said that’s so silly, what for is this customer hotline if I should do minor transaction on their office? In short galit pa yung tumawag saken=)) WTF… Anyway..I shouted on him to cut the conversation=)) Grabe!!! Grabe!!!

    huwag na huwag kayo magpapagago sa mga promo ng GLOBELIES BROADBAD. eg. sa bundle ng 2mbs. na dapat ma recieve mo 700kbs pababa ang matatangap mo. except during 1am to 8am, 1.2mbs to 1.99mbs which is good. Pero pagdating ng 9am to midnight kanda letche letche na connection mo. kesio marami na ang subscriber marami ang gumagamit. na di kaya ng kanilang server. Meaning 12 months sasakit ang ulo mo katatawag sa 171/173…

    Di ko alam ang situation ng BAYADDSL, gusto ko sanang lumipat pero baka ganon din. Pagtiyatiya-gaan ko muna ang GLOBELIES BROADBAD…

    depends lang siguro sa location. i have globelines in marikina and i’ve never experienced not being online for more than 4 hours. kahit 5 days ko iwan online yung MMORPG na nilalaro ko d pa rin nadidisconnect. and its fast too. whenever i have trouble, within the day or the next day at most, may tech na dadating sa bahay. i also like it that they provide usb modems kase kahit may power outtage i can still go online using my laptop. unlike pldt and bayantel, may sariling power source yung modems nila so pag walang kuryente, d rin mkapag online. tip, pag medyo mabagal ang connection nyo just call their hotline and ask for your connection to be reset.

    im using bayantel in iligan. lagi timeout and their customer service sucks. late ang bill tapos wala pang communication between collectors and head office. minsan kahit nagbayad ka mapuputulan ka bigla.

    Requirements for a 995php Globe Broadband?? 2500php one time registration fee, identification or credentials and lots of patience!! hehe. Just acquired 995php for my small business desk at Marikina city. I can really differentiate the residential and business service quality of service. At home i applied for a residential data only service and they were like turtles on my application and activation hence I terminated it. (B.S. on the holding period as long as you assert it) now with the allure of the 995php business line (995php broadband and zero pesos on the landline) this is a no brainer! I’m paying 1500php just for a business line and wow! upgrading to a 995php MSF that comes with a broadband is sweet. My frame of mind is “I don’t really care if my DSL functions or not as long as I can get the cheaper MSF and a working business landline!!” Well, my MSF package is now lower and now we will wait if this Globelines DSL at Marikina City deserves praise… so far so good! By the way Destiny Cable at Marikina has a good service!

    I am one of those lured by your beautiful advertisement about globebroadband. I regretted having subscribed to it. From the time I paid the initial payment on June 16, 2007, my telephone conked out every other day and I got my modem changed three times already! To say that i am very much disappointed is an understatement.

    Why can’t globelines get the clue from the minions of complaining customers that they have a lemon for a modem. The crux of the problem is your modem, change its model, stupid!!! Until then, I will never recommend Globebroadband to any of my friends for fear of losing them.

    Hello,

    Yung residential at business broadbands natin dito sa pinas ay mostly ADSL type. Actually yung DSL ay divided into two types, primarily, ADSL (Assymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) at SDSL (Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line). Ang ADSL ay higher ang download speed kaysa sa upload. Yung SDSL ay same yung upload at download speed. Ang SDSL ay mas mahal ang infrastructure at cost to operate kaysa sa ADSL. Yung ADSL kasi pwede na gamitin sa typical telephone company setup (provided copper wire yung connections nila).

Gusto kong magpakabit ng globe broadband, kaya lang wala pa yata d2 sa area namin (Carmona Cavite). With regards naman sa PLDT DSL, medyo may mga instances na di rin ako satisfied sa service nila..pati na ung customer service nila….kaya nga naisip ko rin na try ang Globe.
    Ano kaya sa palagay nyo mga katropa?..sino ang pipiliin ko?

    One Thing I Learned from my past experience with services… If they have a promo, especially a promo that may be the cheapest in the market, expect it to be congested or faulty… Like Globe Handy Phone, I was one of the first subscribers then, but when the Prepaid came it congested and congested the service. The service normalized at least 4 months after its introduction. Same with ISP, if its cheap… its is cheap… In prepaid dial-up, if you buy the cheapy prepaid cards, you cannot use it on peak hours.. Let me reiterate about ISP performance… ask your neighbor regarding the service because it is location dependent. PLDTDSL is great in some areas and some are not. It follows for every services out there. MyDestiny is super in my area and Im glad I stayed away from Globelines Broadband of Marikina. What happend to me is similar Donato… But I asserted my rights and terminated the line. Again, there are a lot of options out there…

    They just accept subscriber even though they cannot give quality service. When you called their Tech Support hotline, the “answering machine” says “any request for onsite tech support shall be attended within 24 hours.” My goodness, instead their personnel will only give you promises that “we on the process of activating your account”. they’ll do nothing to solve your problem. they will even tell you that they cannot do anything about it.

    Instead, they will refer you to the agent who recruited you and advice you to make a follow up on that matter from that agen.

    I am using a 2mbps globeline broadband and I’ve confirmed that the broadband speed is 2mbps from there site speed tester yet during downloads of files, I can only reach a download speed of 40kbps!! It shoul download at around 200+kbps!
    Until now they still haven’t found a solution for that.

    Every thing on the net when using my 2mbps globelines connection is lag or too slow!

    And I also have a PLDT DSL only at 768kbps, can download up to 70-80kbps from anywhere on the net! And it does not lag playing any other games on the NET!!!
    2mb vs 768 = 1995 for both plans – I wanted the 2mbps because I thought it ought to be faster! I was wrong! It’s super SLOW!!!!

    I feel cheated by globelines for some reason. Line is very very unstable!

    Guyz magtatanong lang! Bale nakatanggap kasi ako ng sulat from globe at ang subject ay “Final Notice”. Eto yung ilang part sa sulat:

    “… unless your payment for the said amount (P4,702.01) is received by February 18, 2007, your account will be endorsed to our lawyers for further legal action. As a consequence, please be informed that you may be charged with interest and collection fees.”

    Supposed to be kasi last December dapat tapos na yung 1 year contract ko sa globe broadband. Nung araw na nagpunta ako sa head office nila sa cavite ang sabi eh 2 years daw ang contract ko. Maliwanag na nung in-offer pa lang sakin ang broadband package nila thru phone ay 1 year lang contract. Tapos may kopya pa ko ng pinirmahan kong konrata na nakalagy eh 1 year nga. Pinakita ko sa kanila ang contract at sinabing hindi raw allowed ang mga installer nila na mag-provide ng contract sa mga customer. Kaya tinanong ko sila kung bakit ako binigyan ng kopya, hindi naman nila masagot. Nung time na yun walang connection ang broadband sa amin for almost 2 months. Kaya sinabi ko there’s no way na tatapusin ko ang 2 years contract dahil in the first place 1 year ang usapan namin. Yung 1 year na yun ay under 995/month plan. Ngayon nung tapos na ang contract ko gusto nila palabasin na ang susunod kong bayad (13th month) ay magiging 1,495 na. Langya, sino ba ang papayag sa ganun. Kaya hinintay kong kusa nilang putulin ang account ko since hindi sila pumapayag na i-terminate ang account ko dahil may contract pa daw ako.

    Ang tanong ko lang, mayroon na bang iba sa inyo na nakatanggap ng katulad nitong demand letter? Saka anong ginawa n’yo? Nagbayad ba kayo?

    Would really appreciate your comments on this.

    Salamat!

    Dear anonymus caviteña.

    It appears to me that you a somewhat limited understanding of what is going on.

    People have been having problems since waaaaay before the Taiwan earthquake with connections to the Globe gateway computers, NOT websites outside of the globelines network.
    What you are suggesting is like saying I can’t travel from Baguio to Manila because there is a traffic jam in downtown Cebu City.

    And another thing, Globelines chooces with wich cable company they rent their bandwidth, they did nothing after the earthquake, while other ISPs tried to rent additional bandwidth elsewhere and throddled certain protocols, like bittorrent, to minimize the troubles for their costumers.

    Tech guys from Globe themsleves admitted that they have had hardly any training and are in fact unqualified to do a decent job, they know what cables to connect and what buttons to push and that’s it, they have no idea what they are actually doing or what most settings do and/or mean. On more than one occassion did I, as a customer, have to explain to the techs what certain settings did and meant. I’m sorry but if a tech doesn’t even know what something very basic like MTU stands for or what it does I am left speechless.

    On top of this the server and router hardware Globe uses is desperately outdated and the system cannot cope with the demand.

    In short this company is a mess, it’s amateuristic at best and it should be held responsible for its poor performance. Globe needs to wake up and start investing in training and hardware. I for one am all for sending an official wel documenee dcomplaint to the NTC. Stopping payment of the bills will not solve anything, after a ruling from the NTC you can request a refund. Accusing someone or in this case a company, from not playing by the rules and then breaking them yourself by not paying the bills isn’t exactly a wise thing to do. Better ask Globe for a refund and keep asking untill the NTC has spoken on the matter.

    Last year September Globe had a 999 promo for its 384Kbps service. It came with a landline. But since I had an Innove phone already the promo would instead waive one year’s worth of Innove basic phone bill.

    The service here in Mandaluyong Addition Hills/Shaw has improved already from the Taiwan quake – but the service’s stability still doesn’t compare to PT&T’s Greendot (which unfortunately costs twice as much for only 256Kbps)

    guyz,

    the problem was due to the taiwan earthquake. it is an external problem, globe does not have a direct access to the technicalities of the said problem kasi the underwater cable was damaged and the people who are responsible for that is globe’s cable provider. siguro naman globe is putting on a lot of pressure din to that cable provider kasi globe is incurring a lot of expense on something that was caused by a natural disaster.. tapus they will be giving out bill adjustments and rebates pa, edi loss nla un din, same with PLDT din… db, wawa naman mga telecommunications company natin…

    the solution for that would be :

    Hello Everybody,

    Cleo is right. You should assert yourselves. I was the one who complained earlier re Globelines connection scheduling. I have signed a contract with them but I asserted that I want it out because I do not like their service at start. I switched to Mydestiny cable and this seems ok. Advise to all is ISP performance is location dependent. Like for MyDestiny it is great at my location but on others it is not. So the point is assert yourselves the rights that you possess. “wag kayo magbayad” kung ayaw ninyo ng serbisyo” there are a lot of options out there.

    To all Globelines Broadband subscribers who are experiencing problems with constant disconnection, speed problems, etc:

    I have a suggestion. Since we are under a one year lock-up period and we are being made to pay for service that we are not getting, why don’t we write a formal letter to Globelines? We’ll refuse to pay until they fix the problems. Or they should not hold us accountable for 2 months worth fee since they are the ones not keeping the end of the bargain. I have been experiencing constant disconnection with my Globelines Explore Silver since August 2006 and have exhausted all means with them (called their hotline; went to their customer Services Offices; wrote them letters; emailed; sent compalints thru their websites) but until now they still haven’t done anything. They don’t communicate with their subscribers unless of course it is to ask for payment or to offer more services. If we voice our complaints as a group, perhaps they will take us more seriously. If not, we can always bring the issue to the National Telecommunications Commission. Only reason companies get away with bad service is because we customers don’t complain and demand what we are suppose to be getting for our money. Would like to hear what you think guys.

    i can open the ym, the google, the yahoo, do some irc at a moderate speed (but still i lag behind most of the time).. and when i open the globequest.com.ph site to check my bandwidth, wow!! its like the speed of light!

    but heck, it all ends there.

    cant open pages like friendster, yeah, youtube.. and when loading some pages (e.g. those containing pics) it takes almost forever….

    so for how long does globe intend to finish this crap huh… regardless of having that earthquake, globe has been like this from time to time, having a not-so-good connection.

    and it seems, its not worth the money we’re giving off!!

    nka firewall ako pero d ko nman na block yung mga website na yun… kaya nagtaka ako bat ganun. ang hina-hina pa nang connection minsan tapos ngayon d na ako mkapasok sa friendster at youtube…

    prang ng bandwith cutting yata o nka deny ang access sa server ng globe… ano ba yan?? pag ng youtube or friendster ako na re-route ako sa google… bwisit kaya ginawa ko check-up sa lahat ng connection problems kahit i ping ko ang friendster walang connection pero sa google at iba pang sites meron… ano ba e2. tulungan nyo ako!!!

    hay…please bring back my grade! this is my first time to leave a message here…pardon me but, im really angry right now.

    gaya ni ed, ive also experienced the same problem. at ngayon, nagtitiyaga ako sa dial-up connection ko due to globe’s “failure” na ma-restore agad ang kanilang service!

    december 7, thursday
    wow! na disconnect ako…bakit ganun, may report akong ipapasa at hindi ko magawa dahil hindi ako makaconnect. ok, matutulog muna ako, (baka kasi gaya lang ng dati, baka bumalik din agad early in the morning) pagkagising ko…ano?! wala parin?! i need to pass my report! stupid globe!

    december 8, friday
    napagalitan ako ng professor ko. major subject yon, at wala akong naipasa. buwisit talaga!

    december 9, saturday
    ok, sana naman meron na…connecting…wala parin!? kainis talaga. bukod sa hindi ako makaconnect, hindi narin ako nakakapasok sa online language lessons ko. hay…

    decmber 10, sunday
    ok, bahala na sa professor ko on monday…pano wala parin. tumawag narin ako, after 30 gloden minutes e sa wakas, may sumagot narin…i asked, “bakit walang net connection?” hay…sabi ng technical representative (di ko na matandaan ang name niya, pero lalake) hindi po kasi namin magawa kasi umuulan, e sensitive po ang mga cables. pero kapag po naing maganda na ang weather, gagawin po ulit agad yon. actually, 60% na po ng cavite ay ok na ang connections. (ganun pala, so 40% nalang) so don’t worry ma’am, we’ll do our best. kailangan lang po kasi na gawin ito dahil marami narin previous na reklamo, kaya bukod po sa restoration inaupgrade po namin ang service namin, for you.” ok, sabi mo eh.

    december 11, monday
    dalawang reports ngaun at wala akong napasa dahil sa “down daw ang server”. malamang bagsak ako sa subject ko. i really can’t blame globe about this (yeah right!?)

    the following days….ok na ang weather, sobrang init na nga e, pero wala parin. i tried calling (nanaman) pero sobrang tagal na naka hold ako, kaya naiinis lang ako at binababa ko nalang (ilang beses din yon…)

    so…december 23 na, wala parin. 60%? (talaga) nasaan na yung connection namin? (malas naman namin at napasama kami dun sa 40%) and everytime na tatawag ako, the operator puts me on hold for more than 30 mins, for heaven’s sake, bakit ganun katagal? and even my mom, to think na nasa ibang bansa yon! they’ve put her on hold (just like me)…hello, knock knock, hindi niyo ba nadedetect na international call yon?! (ok, baka di naman talaga, huh? ano yon?) what kind of service is this…honestly, i do love globe with their service. kapag nga dumarating na ang bill ko, the day after nun e nagbabayad na ako…pero kung ganyan…

    please, act…fast. ilang linggo na yan! december 7-23? ang dami nang napeperwisyo na inyo…bakit ganyan katagal ang restoration? ngayon, hindi ko magawa ang mga dapat kong gawin, dahil sa “server down” niyo…natitiis ako sa dial-up! alam niyo ba kung gaano kabilis yon? 54.6kbps…PLEASE, BRING BACK THE CONNECTION…ang BAGAL NIYO! huwag niyon sabihin na isang tao lang ang gunagawa niyan?! ha ha

    Kung napansin n’yo yung mga previous post ko tungkol sa globe, wala kayong mababasa sa’kin kundi puro papuri sa Globe. Wala naman kasi akong naging hassle sa kanila in terms of broadband connection kahit na sa landline ko. Pero ngayon biglang nag-iba ang ihip na hangin. Ang laking perwisyong ibinibigay nila sa akin (at sa tingin ko sa nakararami rin). Nagumpisa ito nung bagyong “milenyo”. Wala kaming dial-tone and broadband connection simula September 28 hanggang November 01. Di bale sana kung buong lugar namin (subdivision) ang ganun katagal nawalan pero hindi, kami na siguro ang pinakahuling naayos ang linya at broadband connection. Ilan din ang nakausap ko mga technical support nila pero paulit-ulit ang script na sinasabi. Ang ipinagtataka ko pa, yung isa naming landline (2 ang landline na gamit namin) na kahit kelan eh hindi ko ni-report sa repair hotline nila (173) yun pa ang unang nagawa kesa dun sa isang landline namin na since October 09 ay araw-araw kung pina follow-up. Pero sa’kin okey pa yun kasi atleast mas excuse sila dahil sa bagyo.

    Eto na ngayon ang problema. Since December 08, Friday around 8PM hindi na naman maka-connect sa broadband nila (although ayos naman ang phone at may dial tone). Agad akong tumawag sa repair hotline nila (173) at ang sabi down daw ang server sa ilang part ng Cavite.

    Heto ang details ng report ko sa technical support nila kasi everytime nag-rreport ako talagang sinusulat ko.

    1st call, December 09, Saturday @ 10AM
    – Peter (nakalimutan ko ang last name). Ang sabi down nga daw ang server.

    2nd call, December 09, Saturday @ 8:05PM
    – Jen Concordia (Pina-reinstall ang speedtouch software at baka sakaling makuha daw sa reinstallment ng software. Wala rin nangyari. Unable to connect pa din).

    3rd call, December 09, Saturday @ 9:30PM
    – Ghielyn Sempino ( Down pa rin daw ang server).

    Marahil nagtataka na kayo kung bakit sa loob pa lang ng isang araw eh naka-3 tawag na agad ako sa tech. support nila. Ang trabaho ko kasi ay online telemarketer. Required sa trabaho ang broadband/DSL connection. Part din ng trabaho ko ay tumawag sa mga existing clients sa US thru VOIP. Ang time ng work ko ay 8PM – 5AM Manila time (graveyard shift). Kaya ganun na lang ang pagbabakasakali ko na kahit papano ay makapag-report ako sa work kahit undertime since nung Friday pa eh hindi na ko nakapag-report. Kaya tuloy ang pagtawag ko sa tech support nila.

    4th call, December 10, Sunday @ 9AM
    – Marian Matias (Server down pa din).

    5th call, December 10, Sunday @3:10PM
    – Femia dela Cruz (Server down pa din. Nagdial-up na lang ako para ipaalam sa boss ko kung bakit hindi ako nakakapagreport sa trabaho).

    6th call, December 11, Monday @ 10AM
    – Geleen Sempino (Server down pa din).

    7th call, December 12, Tuesday @ 5:20PM
    – Len Adea (Server down pa din).

    8th call, December 13, Wednesday @ 10AM
    – Jen Concordia (Nag-okey daw saglit ang server mga 30 minutes na hindi ko naman naramdaman, hehe. Tinanong ko kung paano ang billing ko? Sabi ko dapat may adjustments. Ang sagot ni Jen? Sir, possible po for adjustments!WTF?!?!? POSIBLE? Nung marinig ko ‘to nagpanting na tenga ko. Sabi ko what do you mean POSIBLE? Hindi pa dapat ang term na sabihin mo ay AUTOMATIC??? Iccheck pa daw kasi nila sa billing department nila kung talagang nagkaroon ng problema sa connection ko. Langya, kaya nga ako tumatawag sa inyo regularly since December 09 dahil may problema tapos hindi pa kayo sigurado kung may problema talaga?)

    9th call, December 13, Wednesday @ 12:30PM
    – Aze Nerino (Server down pa din).

    10th call, December 13, Wednesday @ 9:40PM
    – Eugene Reyes (Still down pa rin daw ang server. Walang advise kung kailan totally maaayos. Nagpa double-check ako sa kanya kung naka ilang report na ako sa kanila. At kinonfirm nya naman naka 9th calls na ko sa kanila at pang sampu na sya).

    11th call, December 14, Thursday @ 2:25PM
    – Ping Villas (Awa ng Diyos server down pa rin sila hanggang ngayon, hehehe).

    Hindi na ko magtataka kung matanggal ako dito sa present job ko ngayon. Part kasi ng trabaho ay ang RELIABLE broadband/DSL connection na unfortunately ay hindi natin masasabi sa Globe. Walang RELIABILITY sa Globe. Ang nakakainis pa sa kanila, tuwing tatawag ka sa repair hotline nila sa 173, minimum na siguro ang 20 minutes na maghihintay ka bago ka may makausap na tech. support. Tinanong ko nga sila bakit ganun sila katagal sumagot. Ilan ba silang nasa tech. support na naghhandle ng mga calls. Ang sagot nung kausap kong si Eugene Reyes? Estimate daw nya ay mga 20! Para daw sa buong Luzon na iyon! Anak ng… 20 lang kayo? Ano yan, cost-cutting ng Globe? Kaya naman pala ganun na lang katagal kung paghintayin nila ang mga customer nila sa phone eh around 20 lang ang tech. support nila. Tsk tsk tsk… ano ba namang customer service yan? Nakakainis pa pag maririnig mo yung linya nilang “Don’t worry sir, we’re doing our best!” Hehehehe. Yun na ba ang best na Globe? Ang paghintayin ang customer nila ng more than 20mins sa phone? Na kung hindi ka mag-rreport sa kanila na may problema ka eh walang automatic adjustments sa billing ng mga customers? Tsk tsk tsk…. Basta Globe POSIBLE, hehehe!

    Yeah! Maraming nanakawan ng Digitel cables the past months. Maski nga line ko ninakaw nila at dalawang beses pa. They usually cut the wires around 12:00AM to 3:00AM. The second time na na-encounter ko, tatawag sana ako sa pulis kaso wala load cellphone. Ala rin akong landline. And I can’t get out kasi there the check kasi baka armed ang mga yun. Iba kasi pag may pamilya ka na. Medyo mahirap pumasok sa mga alanganin. I am not afraid to get out and check but I am afraid sa situation ng family ko. Kawawa naman sila kung mawawala ako. Alam nyo naman cgro yun.

    There’s not much problem sa line ko sa Digitel. My DL speed is 384kbps and I’m getting around 315kbps. My UL speed is 128kbps and I get around 92kbps. Not bad pero I’m not satisfied with the upload speed. How I wish na 2300+ na lng sana un 640/384 na plan ng DSL. Masyado kasi mahal sa ngayon. Balak ko sana mag upgrade. The current price is 3300+. Siguro sa 512/256 na muna ako ako and it’s wort 2300+. At least madodoble upload speed ko.

    And for those gamers, I know you hate lag. Hehehe. Ako din naglalag. But lag with my connection only happens during peak hours. The main reason for getting a lag is my PC. It chokes kasi di kaya ng PC ko yung game. Mababa lng kasi specs ng PC ko:

    Celeron 2.0
    512 DDR RAM
    120GB HDD
    64MB GeForce Video Card
    Jetway Motherboard
    Ordinary cooling fan…

    lol

    Hirap na sa MU lalo pang hirap pag RAKION na nilalaro ko.

    After all, it’s just a game kaya magtatrabaho na lng muna ako. Para makaipon ng pambili. Perhaps I’ll go for a PC worth 60,000. Maybe next year ko na yun mabubuo.

    Anyways, I’m a web developer pala. And I have several clients abroad. I have lots from the US, Canada and Australia. :D

    been a subscriber for 3 years now sa globe dsl at wala naman problem. am from cebu city.

    our family has been a long subscriber to pldt and all i can say is globelines is the lesser evil. :)

    just an input for those who don’t know,

    KBps and Kbps are different animals. So when you speedtest, check if the “B” is a “b” or not.

    1KB is actually equal to 1024 bytes
    1Kb is read as 1000 bits

    8 bits is equal to 1 byte.

    Which means a 512Kbps (512,000 bits/s) connection will have an IDEAL maximum download speed of about 64KBps (64 kilobytes/s).

    A 56Kbps can have a maximum ideal speed of 7KBps. But since dial-up connections are on an analog line, we can expect a lot of signal interference which is why we can get about 4-6KBps max download speed or even lower.

    gosh!!!! i was so shock three days na ako d maka upload ng maayos!! and then when you try to call their costumer service, sobraaaaaa makaktulog ka na lng sa kaaantay!!! grabeh naman i am paying 1995 php for the faast connection i needed, it says will have a great access download and upload, and yet i dont see any good things happened. their system went unstable for a month or so, giving the subscribers the reason of updating, etc etc etc for the betterment blah blah blah, and yet, no improvement all!!!
    i was thinking that if im going to pay for a higher “plan” i can have that fast connection, they keep on advertising, is it really the “BROADBAND” you want us to know? and the things that you keep on emphasizing on your ads? pag tumawag ka naman sa costumer hotline, tutulo na lng ung laway mo sa kaantay na may sumagot, sa tawag mo, imagine it took 32 minutes for me to get to their service “hotline” kuno, cguro kaya nga hotline, kasi umuusok na yung ilong ng mga subscribers sa galit at yung tenga niyo sa mga whines ng mga tao!!
    ambagal bagal ng downloads and uploads, and then mga representatives na walang modo, sounds impatient and not competent enough para mapunta sa trabaho nila, baka nga d marunong mag troubleshoot ng computer itself, just reading a mere script!!! i wonder why they dont even know how to give instructions to their calling client. pakiayos naman ng connection ko i dont pay for silver explore para makakuha lng ng connection that is slower than a dial up connection!!!!!

    the 1st week of my Globelines Broadband was fine. but my headache started whenever i log in early morning (thinking that there are less users at this time). it disconnects very often. i couldn’t download without refreshing again because of the frequent DCs. even my YM chats are affected because i thought my messages were sent only to see my router blinking again. what’s the reason behind the DCs? there should also be a clause in the contract that we don’t have to pay the service if we don’t get a continuous connection. im just glad that the helpdesk is very accomodating when you voice out your problems. but i hope the connections be accomodating as well soon.

Lang hiya kayo! I’m paying almost 2thou a month for your service guys. But what do you provide in return? Just this freaking agravation? Fuck off! lang hiya kayo… kelan nyo mareresolve ang “fiber cut” issue nyo? HUWAG na kayong mag globelines! I’ll surely be terminating my account after the contract! Freaking experience…..

Anong matatawag nyo sa laging ganito. Kung kayoy may magaling na mga Engineers and technician makitkita nila ito sa inyong server di ba! Sana patas lang kasi hindi maiwasan na mumurahin kayo ng mga subscriber kasi ang pera na binabayad namin ay hindi pinupulot lang pinaghirapan rin tapos ganon ang servisyo nyo naka ad pa na globe is the best or no.1 sana walang lokohan.

The problem seems to be bad management and lack of knowledge and therefore investment as they seem unable to be able to afford enough equipment to keep thier promises

    I tried Blast Dial up and that is a joke as they are complete rip of merchants who have realised that they can print money in the form of 100 Peso cards and do not have to have even a local dial up number that is obtainable. they can lay back on thier loungers getting drunk in the knowledge that they will only be exhalted in this country for devising such a rip of and they will be looked up to in this country where the con man is King!

Sa ganoon puwede siyang manood nang mga US TV Channels (may Slingbox din ako dito) ako naman makakapanood nang Pinoy TV (di lang TFC).

    Kailangan nang Slingbox, minimum 384 Kbps UPLOAD speed? Kaya ba nang mga ISP diyan ito? Alam ko kaya nila iyan sa specs nila pero kaya ba nila na SUSTAINED at hindi lang BURST speeds. At reliable ba naman sila? Sa mga nababasa ko, and DSL ngayon diyan parang kuryente nung 80’s….basta na lang mawawala at babalik.

    our neighbor was still able to avail of the 995/month package but as i’ve said, the contract is good for 2 years.

    your line will be free even when connected to the dsl because they use a splitter for your tel line and for your broadband connection.

    so you mean the express unlimited for non gentext user is 995/mo na rin for 384kbps? kc when i visited their site. diffrnt yung price ng active user ng gentxt and non user. Hmmm

    and yah how ima able to keep my tel line active even if im online? kc if ever pwede yan sa globelines and dsl…. mag DSL na lng aq sa bayantel malapit pa hehe…

    thanks ha i need such info lng kc.

  283. Avatar for ed ed says:

    as far as i know the 995 promo of globe is no longer available. the promo by the way is that you’ll be getting 384kbps/month for 995 plus you get 6months free from the usual additional charges that globe regularly includes on your billing. plus the promo has a locked-in period of just 1 year. what they have right now is still the same package, 995/month for 384kbps but the deduction from the additional charges is good for only 2 months plus the lock-in period is 2 years.

    and yes, you need an existing tel. line.

  284. Avatar for nicole tan nicole tan says:

    hello guys ask ko lng if kailngan pa ng tel-line sa globelines? and ask ko rin if avail p ung promo na 995 for non gentxt user.

    i’ve availed of the express unlimited plan (995/384kbps). the speed is very good. the lowest speed i’ve experienced was about 280kbps and the fastest was about 1027kbps. always you get connected with just one click. another good thing about globe’s broadband was that it uses a splitter so that your landline is free even if your connected.

    overall, i’m happy with globe’s broadband!

  298. Avatar for Kent Kent says:

    I can see only there download speed but what is there upload speed for Explore Silver and Gold. As the Express Unlimited and Gentxt Unlimited has only 128kbps upload speed but the actual speed is really 20kBps which is by far not bad as 128kbps is only equal to 16kBps. I’ve subscribed to Express Unlimited and that’s what I’ve experience so far. As of now I’m applying for Explore Silver because the Explore Gold is not yet available as of now until next year 2006 or after Christmas as they are still upgrading their system. It would be nice to have a 2mbps as it is cheap but i’ll not waste my money until I can get a proper job. I’m still a student you know… lol… rofl…

    for hardcore downloader – I would definitely recommend Explore Gold… you can download movies, games, etc. in a fast rate which is about 2mbps and about 250kBps..

    kbps = kilobits per second
    kBps = kilobytes per second
    mbps = megabits per second

    Your actual download base will be the kBps which you will see as 38.3 kB/s when downloading or something like that. As you can see they base their pricing on bits so when they say 384 kbps, you just actually divide it by 8. So 384/8 is equal to 48 but your actual download will only be just 38.xx due to PPP.

    It used it to download 3/4’s of MP3’s (podcasts) to listen on my MP3 capable DVD player, maybe the speed is overkill for that purpose but for the latest Linux distro or that video torrent, it is very cool.
