Globe bares GoSurf at 5GB Mobile Internet + LTE

Due to that Unli-LTE or Unli-Data brouhaha from the last couple of months, there has been a lot of complaints regarding the Fair Use Policy implemented by Globe. To address this mis-information, it looks like they’re now calling it the way it should be.

So instead of the Unli-Internet or the Unli-Data being offered as a base service to mobile postpaid plans, they’re placing the data cap right front and center.

Hence, the previous Unli-Data which has been redefined by their FUP as 3GB of LTE then unlimited access to the 2G network is now a standard.

Subscribers will be offered a GoSurf plans which is basically 5GB of LTE plus unlimited access to the EDGE network after the allocation is consumed. It’s still basically unlimited access to their data network, only that you’ll be transferred to the slower network once you’ve consumed 5GB of data.

This move has been bared along with the announcement of the full Samsung Galaxy S5 postpaid plans.

Never namang bumilis ang 2G ah. It’s a standard that defines wireless mobile technology that can deliver up to 120kbps of speed.

Yung perception mo sa 2G ang mali.

Max speed for edge is 384 Kbps and if you’ve tried a solid 128 Kbps DSL connection in the early 2000, you can still do a lot of things. The 2G speed in most areas nowadays are useless since it can not even do a quick google search. That was his point. You didn’t get do you?

Sounds good to all new subscriber.How about the existing ‘unli data’ postpaid subscriber? Will they offer this or force it to all? And it only says “LTE”, how about my 1yr Note 2 3G?

Is there a way for them to tell the remaining data that is left with these offerings? Transparency and honesty still count in this modern age even in big business like this.

2G speed in the PH? much better pa dial up network during the 1990s usable sya noon………. haaaaaiiiiisssttsss

to the executives of Globe and Smart, hinbi ba kayo nahihiya sa ibang telco sa ibang bansa? are you aiming for the BEST o pwede na sa inyo yung “pwede na” or basta kumikita kayo ok lang? malamang ganun na nga. hostage naman ang mga pinoy sa inyo….

I agree. I think this is a better option – from LTE speeds down to 3G once 5GB data is reached.

Hay… I think this is a good option as long as Globe will assure us that superb LTE speeds will be maintained and more places will be covered by LTE.
