Expect 1Gbps fiber-to-home from Globe for Php9,499 this November

Globe also plans to offer 1Gbps fiber to home connection this November 2015, according to leaked documents we obtained earlier. This is part of the Platinum Home Broadband Plan that Globe is offering to select villages and condominiums.

The historical chart above shows the initial speed offering for fiber when Globe started rolling it out in 2014. It also shows how the speeds are increasing and the monthly service fees are decreasing.

According to the same documents that we got, Platinum Home Broadband Plans will start at 50Mbps for Php2,499USD 43INR 3,610EUR 41CNY 310 (see story here).

There’s also a 200Mbps plan for Php4,499USD 77INR 6,499EUR 73CNY 558 and a 500Mbps line for Php7,499USD 128INR 10,833EUR 122CNY 931 if you think 1Gbps is too much for your needs.

Take note those that the 1Gbps fiber connections are currently offered in limited areas (see complete list here).

Hindi naman capping ang problema. Ano ang Silbe ng 1Gbps kung hindi naman available sa area natin? ROLLOUT ang problema sa FTTH

Right now nakasulat sa website nila “unlimited data, no data cap” which is pretty good. Ang problema nga tulad ng sabi ni RENEL is location. Hindi pa siya nationwide, selected few palang. We also don’t know how stable pero sana naman may good news na mangyari. It is pretty cheap compared to PLDT’s 200Mbps which is 20k a month. All we can do right now is for the competition to get more competitive and we the consumers can have a cheap yet fast internet speed and a stable one that is.

Globe and other telcos implement 80% speed reliability plus you might be using DSL line rather than fiber. The real problem is the availability.

what happens to lower plans like 7Mbps? Do they get a price cut? :)

Asa pa tayo. Hanggang mayayaman na villages lang ang rollout ng 1Gbps. Copper wire pa rin sa amin at 8mbps lang ang kaya

Let’s get one thing straight, this is a bunch of BS from Globe. I’m currently subscribed to their home LTE plan and the connection is beyond terrible. I don’t know how many times I’ve fought with a customer service rep but what else can I do? My contract is still locked and the pre-termination fees are a highway robbery. Come December, it’s bye bye Globe for me. Good riddance!

Mura nanga yan kumpara mo sa PLDT na 20k 200mbps palang ahaha. Sana nalang wag silang mag implement ng data cap kahit na sinabi nilang “unlimited data, no data cap” ngaun tapos kinabukasan may data cap na ahaha. Think positive nalang siguro for now since darating narin naman ang telstra and they have no choice but to upgrade their service.

A friend of mine from pasig had FTTH from Converge ICT Solutions. He said that converge do offer fiber to the home connection, but there are limited areas in metro manila. Sad, no fiber to the home for me in Cainta… Website www.convergeict.com
