In a leaked document we received today from an anonymous source, it looks like Globe is going to introduce their very own Internet TV bundled with a lower DSL price for residential subscribers.
A copy of what could be confidential documents from Globe, it is finalizing deals with media companies to bundle IPTV subscriptions with up 70 channels. This supports the story that a potential Globe and ABS-CBN alliance is being worked out and was first reported as early as November 2012.

Both regular DSL and Fiber subscriptions will have reduced monthly subscription fees (MSF). “Tattoo Torque (the brand Fiber service) will be killed and be integrated to Tattoo@Home for unification“, adds our source.
The price drops for monthly subscriptions are very dramatic with Plan 1099 for 10Mbps with free landline, Plan 1299 for 20Mbps, Plan 1499 for 30Mbps, Plan 2099 for 40Mbps, Plan 3099 for 70Mbps and Plan 4099 for 100Mbps.
For plans 2099 and up, it comes with free landline and Internet TV subscription (70 channels). Plan 1299 and up comes with free landline as well.
What’s more surprising is that they will introduce a Plan 299 with up to 1Mbps, the cheapest DSL plan ever.
Of course, we assume this is only applicable to areas where Globe’s fiber lines are available. If they can offer unlimited LTE of up to 42Mbps on their iPhone 5 plans for Php999 SuperSurf, these new plans are likely to be true.
Word of caution — these are just leaks and rumors so don’t bet on it until we get a final confirmation.
Update: Just got a call from Globe rep stating that these plans are not true. Oh well. It would have been really good for Globe if it were!
In any case, it’s technically not true because it’s in the proposal stage and have not been approved. Until this proposal is approved, we cannot confirm the veracity of this leak.

Justin says:
Pwede siguro, pero naka cap ang connection, siguro ang allowable bandwith ay 2GB a month.
Fuck off this will never happen even in your wildest dreams for the year 2015 until 2020. Globe pa, mga new plans nila eh ang liliit ng allowable data kahit ni re-evaluate o binago yung first released ngayon ang liit padin.
Even new plat. users has capping per day, 3.5GB for the entry level plat. plans, mas better pa yung sakin na old user ako 5Mbps 10GB per day ang allowable data
poxzzz says:
ok lang sa akin kahit 2, 3 or 5mb speed nang internet basta taas naman ni;a ang daily cap yong 2mb bundle is 5 gb per day sana gawin nila 10 gb per day nayon
sa akin…
peace
anonymous says:
Haha probably edited and copied from US or other countries wifi subscription.. but I do hope something like this would come up in the near future hopefully before Japan work out getting a 1M mbps or something haha

Globe hahaha KWENTO NYO SA PAGONG…..

malabong mangyari ito sa pinas. lol
Mel says:
Broadband pricing in the PH is a ripoff. Just compare Sky Broadband’s 10Mbps “consumable” (meaning capped) plan of 35GB for P2,299 vs. Shaw Cable of Canada’s 10Mbps plan costing C$50 (roughly P2,000) per month for 125GB of data cap. The question is, why are we paying over 3x more for broadband compared to a developed country that has a much lower population density (Metro Manila’s population alone is already half of Canada’s entire population) along with a higher cost/standard of living?
Alfred Aquino says:
Ask the PH telcos and DOTC…
Obed says:
Let’s say this is true, gano naman ka populated ang isang server? Ang mura nga ang dami ninyo naman gumagamit eh di nag nanakawan kayo nang bandwidth wala rin.
Kung yung dedicated line nga namin sa office na 1mbps na yung computer ko lang ang may connection nag aaverage lang nang 700-800kbps minsan ang bagal pa yan pa kaya.
tapsilognga says:
wow mura na pwede na!!!! i like that 30mbps!!! super speed!!!
yeahmen says:
4099 for 100Mbps, talo pa japan. haha, the wonders of photoshop.
Billy says:
Based on my experience sir, Globe pinaka mabilis mag service pag may problem compared sa pldt aabutn ng 1week madalas, sa Globe kinabukasan kagad pupuntahan ka , pero baka depende sa area.
NZ (n-said) says:
Billy, You are right, when I was still in the Philippines, the service of PLDt was really worse, I dont know now???. I am now a Globe subscriber for more than 1 year.
Internet here in New Zealand is very expensive but the service is really fast, that for all wireless companies operating here.

too good to be true.. look at those speeds! sa current plan ko na 1,299. Imagine 20mbps! I know its common sa ibang bansa, pero sa pinas? i must be dreaming! yes, actually it was just a dream.. hehe..

I am still sticking to PLDT..
I have bad experience using Globe hanggang ngayon pangit parin.
My aunt uses globe til now and the service is still crap.

nice to be real? have you ever heard of google fiber? 1Gbps for 70$/ month
Scolex Portal says:
Dito sa amin (eastern part of Davao Oriental), may na-notice akong kasalukuyang tinatrabaho ng Globe. I just heard from a friend they are offering 3 in 1 package – Internet, Cable TV and telephone line. I don’t know if this true. Kung mangyaring mang totoo, I would be very grateful kasi makapag-blog na ako using a faster internet.

Dapat tawagin na lang ang website na Chikka Minute Tech. Kahit sinong mokong pwede mag imbento ng balita then sabihin na hindi pala totoo kapag nakakuha na ng page views.

Oo nga, tapos dagdagan pa ng mga mokong sa comments section na nambibintang kahit walang pruweba. ‘Di ba, ‘pre?

Tsismis lang pala ito. Nakuryente na naman si yuga.

It happens. No big deal, though.
Justin says:
“Update: Just got a call from Globe rep stating that these plans are not true. Oh well. It would have been really good for Globe if it were!”
… so why is this article still here? Will someone please take it down already!
Hala ka! says:
Siguro si Justin eh taga Globe, and siya yung nagsubmit kay yuga ng confidential document. Ngayon natatakot siyang mahuli ng Globe. HAHA
ThinkMcFlyThink says:
Justin, please stop being a moron. Just stop.
There’s a reason this article was filed under “rumors.” In case you’re too stupid to understand, when something is classified as a rumor there is always the chance that it may or may not be true.
So you’re saying that just because the rumor was debunked Yugatech should remove the news item immediately without informing their readers that the rumor in question was proven to be false?
“Common sense? ‘Di na uso ‘yan!!”
Justin says:
@ThinkFirstPlease: F**k you, mister high and mighty! Whatever you wish to call it, it’s still NOT TRUE. Therefore SHOULD BE REMOVED! Jacka$$!
trololol says:
others who read this article earlier will have the benefit to know that it’s just a rumor that’s why yuga/writer just add an update to the article.
ThinkFirstPlease says:
Use your brain it’s free.
There are readers who already saw the article that’s why you can’t just take it down. Same principle with ‘Erratum’ emails , I suppose you know that one if not google it.
mehmoh says:
ok lang kahit 3mbps basta walang cap o ano man
meh says:
the speeds listed were much too nice for it to be real, serious, 20mbps? hahaha will never happen in this country for an unlimited plan
Jon says:
I used to balk at Globe’s FUP, and was hessitant to sign up for it. I had no choice but to get them as there was no other option at my location.
I guess having a sort of “cap” is not a bad idea at all. Three people using the same connection non stop every day, I rarely hit the cap. And I download quite a lot of movies and TV shows. It is just a matter of pacing your downloads.
Now if this “leak” turns out to be true, I would gladly “upgrade” to a better one (currently on their 1299 plan) but I just hope they make their cap reasonable.
Jaime Lacson says:
If yan ang price kakagatin yan ng mga ng mga Pinoy dami mag aaply jan sa sobrang dami kaya ba ng globe lahat bigyan ng ganyan maganda yan sa mga compond area subs fast food village barangays
saber210 says:
Ok sana yung download speed, pero yung latency kasi nyan sa games medyo mataas din.. Kaya nag lalag pa rin ang globe.
Kung magdodownload at browse kayo, ok to..
Pero kung online games. think twice na lang.
Current Globe User says:
Wag sanang capped. please lang.
lekimikel says:
eto ang price….ppakabit ako ka agad kong gnito ang price

babye PLDT!haha

dodong says:
the thing with local telcos is that product marketing for residential consumers has evolved but their services didn’t. it is just sad that the government who is suppose to regulate this kind of stuff is toothless/useless (or bribed by the corp lobbyist to be blunt) and no one gets sued for false advertising. this is too good to be true. and if there is a grain of truth to these packages, either they are way overpriced or capped.
pldt sucks balls but i do not plan to change isp anytime soon because despite the crappy cs, at least pldt do not cap my data usage. what’s the point of having 20Mbps if you’ll consume your plan in 24 hours?
if i may suggest, another alternative to good residential dsl is eastern telecom’s evo-dsl but they are only available in selected places in the metro (i used evo-dsl when i was in manila and it is miles ahead of any other telco in terms of promised speed, cs, and after sales — too bad their facility does not cover my area in makati). i am not affiliated with eastern but i am advertising because i had a very good experience with them overall.
Abrinor says:
Wawa existing globe users pag inemplement yan sapilitang cap pricing palang halatang Capped na. :)
bobby says:
Yung iWantV nga ng ABS-CBN powered by SkyBroadband medyo mabagal ang buffering. What more with DSL? Nonetheless, this is a good news. Sana lang tumaas ang internet speed at a reasonable price.
Alexis Mendoza says:
Oh my gosh! So what will happen to existing subscribers? I am subscribed to plan 1299, will globe upgrade me to the “up to 20mbps speed”? I hope so…
Graphic Artist says:
Its a Graphic Artist Mock-up.. nothing else..
pamboy says:
1gig per mont
? says:
mura ah, cguro capped yan….
Lezuric says:
good sign! good sign!
Miss Call says:
Good. Since I am self entitled to pirate stuff, I demand a consistent 20mbps connection. It sucks if I cannot illegally download what I want due to bandwidth limits.
Brickz says:
Your point would hold up if the only people who are going to be affected by the bandwidth caps are the pirates but that’s not the case. Everybody will be affected, even those who legally purchase/rent media online just because of the telco’s penny-pinching/greed.
Take me for example; I buy plenty of games from Steam, I rent/buy HD movies, music, apps from iTunes and Google Play, I watch plenty of Youtube videos (I always watch them in HD when I can). Let’s say there’s a 10GB cap, I would immediately use that up with just 1-2 games that I LEGALLY bought from Steam.
So before you get on your high horse, think first if there’s a legitimate reason why other people would complain.
wee says:
That’s too good to be true
David says:
If it comes with a bandwidth cap, then no thanks.
Brickz says:
I’m not very optimistic about the service quality but I’m happy all the same because this is good for competition. Price competition now, service quality competition soon.
rc_kunoichi says:
I hope this is true.
And I hope that they reduce the MSF for EXISTING SUBSCRIBERS that pay 1299 for 2MBPS internet+landline.
I don’t want to increase my speed. I am satisfied with my current speed, even if there is a bandwidth limit. >:-(
phiLLip says:
if this gets approved, will they automatically upgrade your connection to the new speeds or do you have to re-subscribe to their plans? (e.g. currently on Plan 1299 2mbps + landline will be upgraded to 20mbps + landline)
fakbet says:
the promo starts in the year 3000 after they finished overhauling their system so better start the CountDown now hehehe
louie6380 says:
Will the changes apply to all existing Tattoo DSL subscribers? I’m paying 1299/month at 2MBPS and now its gonna be 20MBPS that’s gonna be a great offer!
Kannuchi says:
Same here. Plan 1299 with landline. Globe had me this intermittent connection trademark already with them. Kept on saying that it is because of undergoing maintenance SINCE NOVEMBER 2012.
Darren says:
just got our Tatoo+landline 1mpbps P1099 installed today. if this happens, We can downgrade to 399/599/799 :D
najiro says:
Yeah right.. Unless Globe removes that “fair use policy”.. their services will NATURALLY SUCK!
no point of improving bandwidth or making the service cheaper if there are LIMITS implemented.
shaunyx says:
Goodluck… 20mbps for 1299???? we’re paying 1299 for 2mbps+landline right now though I haven’t experience the 5gb/day bandwidth cap that other subcribers complaining, I hope that the bandwidth cap will not be affected or good they will make it unlimited(just wishing) with this new promo! I wanted a fast internet so I can play Onlive on my s3 and ipad..=p
Nerbie says:
Mura masyado. As long as its faster than my current subscription to them oks to. kasi yung sa akin 2MBPS nasa 210kpbs lang ang download speed ko pero ok na rin for P1299 happy na rin for online gaming and downloading.
Keith says:
You are getting the right amount of speed. 2Mbps ang plan mo. Small b is different from capital B. 2Mbps = 200KBps
anon says:
expect a dang data cap.
agfag says:
but not anymore unlimited, right?
YuYu says:
I’m having a hard time visualizing the speed-to-price ratio. Parang napakamura naman mashado, unless there is a catch.
consumer says:
Is there an internet cap for the promos?
shryock says:
here we go with “up to XXmbps” promises again..
BENCHMARK says:
the problem here is the speed…they cannot provide a consistent speed.
I’d rather go to a plan with consistent speed. kahit na it’s just 750KBPS pero consistent…kesa 1MB ang speed pero once in a blue moon lang maging speed na ganun…kahit na sabihin pang 70% pa ang maproprovide, hinde pa din maibigay.
Marck says:
If this is true, I look forward to DSL price drop but it looks like there is a catch here somewhere. Bandwidth cap perhaps? It’s time to have a real alternative for home broadband users. Globe and ABS-CBN alliance would definitely give PLDT a run for its money and will give consumers cheaper and hopefully better options.
Aquinas says:
This will be the time to switch if PLDT won’t bring their prices down or their speeds up!
MyMaria says:
If/when that happens! o.O
Carl says:
If this happens, I want a refund for paying more than this! Haha jk
Time for the metro to experience a faster connection! Sana hindi yan yung tipong 10mbps tas 512kbps or less lang nakukuha mo *coughpldtdslcough*
paopee says:
limited bandwidth? possible~
dvancleef says:
Certainly possible. Multicast is used to distribute the content so the only point where there’s 1 stream per customer is the local loop.
I get have choice of 50 1080p channels this way locally.
Jose Farrugia says:
Hopefully, PLDT will also reduce their prices and improve their speeds. I am paying P1995 for a 3Mbps connection which is nothing compared to the 40Mbps being offered by Globe.
