Okay, I think I spoke too soon. Just got this press release from Globe that they renamed their 3G internet service to Globe Broadband Tattoo.
Globe Broadband Tattoo, formerly known as Globe Visibility, uses a USB stick that works as a modem (more like a re-brand of Globe Visibility). Globe has also upgraded their network so users can get speeds of up to 2 Mbps.
Globe redesigned Globe Broadband Tattoo with some funky designs featuring artworks in black, orange, or blue.
The Globe Broadband Tattoo Prepaid Kit comes with a free Php100 load that is equivalent to five hours of free internet usage. Users still pay only Php5 per fifteen minutes with multiple connections.
Once users have consumed their free load, reloading the Globe Broadband Tattoo Prepaid SIM can be loaded like a regular prepaid SIM, whether through Share-A-Load, Globe Load or prepaid call cards.
Users may also opt for a postpaid plan for Globe Broadband Tattoo; there is a range of plans for as low as Php799/month with 60 free mobile internet hours.
Aside from using Globe Broadband Tattoo as a mobile Internet modem, the SIM card inside the USB can also be used for calls and sending text messages at regular cellphone rates. The USB also comes with a built-in expansion slot where users can insert their own microSD card for additional file storage.
The new Globe Broadband Tattoo Prepaid Kit is sold for only Php1,895.
Vad fint! Kudos

So,for all of you who are planning to get tattoo,think a zillion times first before deciding..i would rather go to smartbro where i can get the best value for my money..GLOBE SUCKS! TOTALLY SUCKS!! i hope all woudnt mind to take a minute or two to reply/comment. thank you!

yan lang po masasabi ko… mayaman na nag papayaman pa… aywa nilang bigay magandang serbisyo nila, 3.6 mbps daw mga broadband kit nila. pero max lng na 1.6 ang bilis. mag stupido GLOBE at SMART.. wtf..

Ano ba ang pinakamataas na link speed ng globe tattoo broadband?
gago talaga tong globe broadband na to.. nka2bwisit pinakamabilis e 100kbps lng tapos sa2bihin nila kaya hangang 3.6mbps?? kalokohan yan sayang lang pera natin dito sa globe tattoo broadband na ito…
ayos dn nmn yan mga broadband n yan eh… pero mas better kung PLDT ang gamit nyo… mura lng nmn yun…. P.999 per month …
s about time…tayong mga subscribers…….ipaputol na muna natin ang ating dsl connection…. tingnan natin kung ano gagawin nag mga GAGONG taga globe na yan…….if at least 15% sa total subsciber based ang mawawala or more……
ang kaso kasi dito alam nila na ganun ang service nila ….pero sa isip nila ok lang kasi in need tayo ng internet connection…….sabi nila kahit ilang milyong pagmumura natin sa kanila……wla tayong magagawa….
so ngayon dapat me gagawin tayong mga subscribers…………..para mabalik ang totoong value ng ating contract sa kanila…..
tiis nlng muna tayo……sa ofis nalng muna o sa school o sa internet cafe nlng muna…..iparamdam natin sa GLOBE o sa kahit anung provider na ang customer satisfaction should be there number one priority………….dapat magka-isa tayo………ibagsak ang……ano nga yon…hehehehe….so yon paputol na natin……
wla na….mataas na death count ko sa Mobster 2.Vendetta……GAGO itong taga globe….bwisit
i hope you can improve your tattoo service here in our place, OROQUIETA CITY, MISAMIS OCCIDENTAL, whenever i connect, upload and download will only last for about five minutes and then its “flatline”. i have been a globe user since 2000. i would to keep using tattoo because i only use the internet when my husband access the net and it is just 4-5 days a month. HOPE I CAN COUNT ON YOU. TNX
ano ba yan! sabi unlimited then makaka recieve ako ng message na nakaabot na daw ako ng 800mbps… sino ba ang bobong may ari ng globe na sinasabing unlimited service sila tapos limited naman pala…i dont to say any badwords..but this company is so damn stupiiiiiiiddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!! ni di nga ako nag dodownload leche!!!!!!
ahm excuse me po..napakahirap pong paniwalaan na may 800 MPBS dito sa philippines. IPv4 palang po tayo dito sa philippines cguro mga 5 – 8 yrs pa po bago magkaroon ng 800MBPS (under IPv6) speed dito sa phlippines .. kasi sa ibang bansa po ay medyo experimental pa ang over 500Mpbs connection speed.
@fane.. bella means 800mbs already been used or downloaded in one day, i also experienced that, sbi ko unli pero merong limit na mb usage, kesyo internet fair usage daw… ntry ko na ang internet sa ibang bansa pero wlang ganito, pag cnbng unli eh tlgang literal na unli ka for a day! share lng

@ globe free user, maybe the reason why ang pangit ng service samin ng globe is dahil sa mga taong ganyan na gumagamit ng services nila without properly paying for it. Yan tuloy kaming mga honest people and tinatamaan.
What should be done is that the government should impose stringent consumer protection policies para maforce si globe i-improve yung service nya and provide better service.
tama ka poh tlga ateh…
andaming galit sa Globe dito, e why pay when you can surf for free, using a small software and tweaking?? mdami n me alam nito. kayo lang siguro ang hindi ;) sulit ang globe sakin :) no loading pero surf all you want with the same speed na bnbyran niyo :)
Share mo naman pano mag-avail ng free internet gamit globe prepaid. Send mo sa email ko, fallic****@****.***. tnx

Mahina yang broadband na yan… kami nga malapit na kami sa cellsite still wala pa ring connection ung tattoo na binili ko, I do not know what Globe is trying to do, kaya nga naglabas sila ng unlimited kasi kung magreregular load ka tapos na ung load mo hindi kapa nakapag surf., If you buy this shit Im telling you, you are just wasting good money for a good for nothing fucking broadband… Im really having regrets on buying this thing. Please Mr. Yuga if you can send this comment to the people in the Globe industries, please kindly pass it., Thanks…

sayng lng pera ko!!!!
d ako mka pag laru nang games sa facebook!!!
anu ba yan!!
Hayagang panloloko ang ginagawa ng Globe, mapaTV, print ads at radio. Biro nyo they will cut your internet connection once you have reached 800mb kahit hindi pa umaabot ng 24 hrs. ang gamit for that p50.00 registration sa service nila. They are professional liars, it’s their words against their own words. Per text advise from 8888 “Ur remaining browsing hours will resume tomorrow subject to promo validity” But then per customer assistants nila hindi na raw magagamit yun. Globe is liable for that; they can sued for public deception. Hindi ba nila kayang pantayan ang service na inooffer ng sun and smart by setting that 800mb? In true sense, sun and smart offer the real “UNLI” browsing service.
yah…globe sucks..hnd ko din alam n my limit pla n 1gb,tas mbblock k na..tas sasabihin “SORRY BUKAS N LANG ULET” haha..inantay ko pa talaga un nxtday ng 12am,…umaga kc ko nag register ng supersurf50..hehe sayang nmn kun d ko msulit…amf!
I reportt na yan sa NTC!
THE GLOBE TATTOO SUCKS! I JUST THROW THAT STUPID DONGLE OUTSIDE THE WINDOW COZ IT TOOK 2 FREAKING HOURS TO LOAD THE FACEBOOK HOMEPAGE WITH 6 BARS SIGNAL AND P300 WORTH OF LOAD.
HINDI TALAGA WORTH ANG PERA PARA SA SERVICES NA ITO NG GLOBE. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY THIS TATTOO AGAIN. LET ME GUESS.. for your investment:
P15 for the china dongle
P20 for the network service that sucks!
P5 for marketing
Selling Price: P800++
PRofite: P760
Dont change the packaging with the same sucking service!!!!
fuck the globe!!!! pangit ng services globe sucks
wg kaung kmuha ng globe tattoo prepaid kng mhilig kaung mgdownload..putik ang mga yn..ala clang cnbi nun n my limit n byes per day..kya pg more than 1gb ung idodownload nu..hnd xa mtatapos ng isang araw kc ibblock k n nla..mkkreceive u ng txt n ung service is mggm8 s next n araw..ok lng sna kng pati ung oras,ksma s pg tigil nla..peo hnd..2loy ung 24hrs kya d mo sulit..globe go to hell,,,mga mndadaya..kya sun n gngm8 q now..smart kc alang 50 pesos unlimeted one day
siguro mas thrust worthy ang globe at sun. I have globe also and the speed is really 2mbps minsan 2.5mbps. I hope they sustain this kahit dumami ang customer nila, otherwise mumurahin din sila ng tao!!!!!!
its really 10x better than smart or pldt dsl. ang smart bro ko 250kbps lang ang speed 75 % of the time slower at other times!!!!!!!!!! we dropped pldt dsl kasi lagi pinipirata ang line namin ng line men nila and bagal lagi. bibilis pag nagrelamo ka after 2 to 4 weeks babagal ulit. pero they are able to speed it up internally pag nagreclamo ka kaya it could also be daya na ng company internally ang bawas speed dahil probably they oversold more than their service capacity.
@ concern citizen ==== TAMA KA AT NAREALIZE KO LANG YAN NGAYON….SAYANG ANG 1,500 KO!!! PUTANG INA NG TATOO NA ITO!!!FAIR USE POLICY???? HALER BAKIT PAG POST PAID KA EH PWEDE KA LUMAGPAS NG 1GB? ANO ITO? DISCRIMINATION? PAG PREPAID MAHIRAP AT PAG POST PAID MAYAMAN? KALOKOHAN!!! ISINUSUMPA KO ANG MGA TAONG BIBILI PA NITONG GLOBE TATTOO NA ITO AY MAGSISISI HANGGANG SA HUKAY NG KANILANG KAMATAYAN!!!!
I like this globe tattoo UNTIL they deactivated the my connection because I already had reached 1GB of usage!!! why this thing on hell did not inform me that I should not reach 1GB in usage for the day otherwise my account will be deactivited ang will be activated again the other day. What about the load i registered with supersurf 50 to use the internet for 24hours…WALA SORRY NALANG DAW…ok na sana eh kasi I dont have to use my phone as modem pero eto gamit ko ulit ang phone ko as modem and I found out na di nalang sana ako bumili ng tattoo na ito dahil pareho lang pala ang speed nilang dalawa…Nokia E63 ang cell ko. For globe tattoo? SUCKS!!!
comment lng aq, pasali lng, wg kau magvivisibility, 8s so shitty, P5/15mins, lage pa naddc, kain ang load kht wla kpa 5mins. leche po tlga. btw tga las pinas aq

globes making fraud
they say supersurf is unlimited when its not they limiting it to 1 gb… sucks
Globe broadband can be considered very good in providing internet service if it can provide good service whether you’re near their towers or not. It is very unfair that they’re earning a lot from people who pay to use their service but they do not care to improve their ways of providing service to people. Customer service lines should be the first to show appreciation to customers. instead of dropping the call or hanging up from chat support,they should be more responsible.People give feedback to improve the company,they also need to provide good service to prepaid users.How I wish that Better Business is here to address this concern like in the US. Connections failed all the time when you paid for unlimited service.it can’t even support a simple video calling!
Very Poor service!!!! Your managers are very incompetent though they look intellectuals. They do not want to hear complains and act on them!
ayst .. anu kea ? kconfuse nman o ..

Di naman nila sinasabi sa mga tao! You still have to read pa sa terms and conditions na sobra ang haba! Its useless to call it Supersurf! Kaya walang kwenta. Mag DSL nalang kayo.

My residence is Pleasantville Subd., Tolingon, Isabel, Leyte. In front of my house, a globe cell site or tower was built almost a year (150 meters away approximate). My child (high school) will travel 10 kilometers to the Isabel town proper to have an internet for their research/ school assignment. For information, globe telephone in our area is wireleess. Thats why I opted to buy a tatoo USB stick. But the signal avaible on that site is only GPRS, thats loading & uploading of my tatoo stick is very slow. In this matter, Can Globe management install a WCDMA hardware for that site so that I can admire the 2mbs speed of my tatoo stick. In barangay Tolingon, students and professional are now “cyber age” minded which your WCDMA signal on the said area can help a lot.
Hoping for favourable & immediate response.
Thanks and regards.
Maganda ang Ads nila sa TV at Radio.. pero pag naexperience mo na yung device… manghihinayang ka sa pera mo…tsk tsk…
walang kwenta ung globe tattoo. mga nag babalak bumili wag na lng.. baka magaya kyo sa akin.. sa sobrang galit ko tinapon ko na lng ung globe tattoo ko.. ang sama ng experience ko tlga..
can we use the usb globe tattoo broadband by surf unlimited
select nyo yung signal speed 3 yon 150 54 at 11mbps pag masyado malayo sa site dapat 150 at 54mbps para may repeater. pag medyo malapit 54 at 11mbps lang pag sobra lapit 11mbps lang.ang signal kasi di stable lalo pag marami gumagamit di naman humihina yon pumapaling lang sa ibang site kahit 1000 computer pa ang nka online.
Oh my.. ive had enough of reading the same thing about these broadband USB’s.. I just purchased Glpbe Tattoo broadband and damn it, im not just stunned with the convinience i saw in AdS (adding the fact that SARAH G. romotes Tattoo)… The real thing is, the service is not good.. not just “not good” but hell!

Hi, just want to ask if anyone here had tried this Sun Cellular’s Digihome. Maganda yung experience ko sa sun mobile and sa broadband nila. I just wonder if maganda din itong Sun Cellular’s Digihome
hay nako sobrang bagal ng globe dito sa cavite!!!! bad trip yang globe na yan walang improvement na nangyayari!!!! malakas ang signal pero ang bagal ng download and upload speed!!! anung klase yan!!! hoy mga taga globe ayusin nyo naman yan maraming ng nabubuwisit sa inyo!!!!
hi guyz bkit ganun ang hina ng signal ng tattoo dito sa cavite upgRADE NYO NAMAN PO
for some reason the globe tattoo is going over 5mbs here in manila and 3.5 mbs here in bacolod
Well, just found out that signal strength varies from place to place. Binili ko lang yung Globe Tattoo dahil nagkataong malakas ang signal dito sa amin. I bought the SMART BRO kit in case mahina ang signal sa Globe.
Kaya bago kayo bumili ng USB modem, check nyo muna signal sa inyo kung alin ang mas malakas. Kung malakas SMART sa inyo, sa SMART BRO kayo Pag GLOBE, TATTOO naman.
I made my own experiment between globe tatoo and sun wireless broadband. check it here Sun wireless broadband and Globe broadband tattoo , which is better?
Hey pano kaya to, nawala ko ung card na pinaglagyan ng sim cardT_T, hindi ko tanda ung number ng simT_T, hindi 2loy maloadanT_T,.
Dasmariñas Cavite, disconnected daily from 2:00AM to 6:00AM automatic… AS IN HINDI KA NA MAKAKA-RECONNECT… Nagpapatay ba sila ng server nila ng madaling araw?
sta.rita guiguinto bulacan globe walang kwenta. Shet full bar pero 0kbps upload and download kabibili pa lang sayang 5pesos per 15min google palang umaabot na ng 10min. Binalik ko ung globe tattoo bibili pa lng ako ng smartbro sana maganda ung signal di2 samin try nyo muna kung gumagana may libre namang 5hr yan e kung maganda signal sa inyo pag di maganda report nyo na ayaw maconnect sa internet automtic disconnect marefund nyo yang globe tattoo
(continued from my previous post): BTW, may WiMax connection na ba dito sa Philippines? Globe meron na? Kasi ang nasasagap ko lang connection so far e GPRS, HSDPA (most of my connection time), at 3G. PS: If you’re wondering about the relation between “Internet Connection” speed and “Download” speed, 1 byte = 8 bits. So… for a 512 kbps (kilobits per second) internet connection speed, downloads speed could reach up to 64 kb/s (kilobytes per second). Just a helpful thought ^_^
About my Globe Tattoo Broadband experience… Medyo happy na medyo hindi… Medyo okay yung connection ko (in a way). AVERAGE DL speeds kapag araw e 20kb/s. Sa gabi (mga 6-2am) e 35kb/s. Kapag naman 2am-6am e (SUPER FAST: 150kb/s) Grabe sa gabi talaga. Pero incomparable pa rin talaga compared sa University Internet namin(download speed at peak hours e umaabot sa 2.5mb/s -> about 2-3mins lang ang 800mb movie). Pero Since “download-type” user naman ako sa bahay, (less video streaming, more on watching downloaded videos) So walang problema ang panood ko sa globe. Problema ko nga lang e kapag araw kasi medyo hanggang web browsing lang ako. Isa pang problema ko naman e sa gaming. Yun talaga walang chance. Pinging “DNS servers (AKA mga “Towers/Internet Service Provider:)” gives me a latency ranging from 100ms->2500ms. Kaya ibig sabihin may delay sa gaming (1->2.5s) Dadagdag pa yan kasi dadaan pa yan sa “WEB” NETWORKS. Kaasar din kasi hindi ako makapag-garena. Siguro na rin dahil hindi “FULL” bar ang signal ko dito kaya ganoong may delay (kasi kung nakatutok talaga sa tower (most likely full bar), e yung data waves transferred and received e hindi na mababaluktot kung may nakaharang na mga puno, bahay etc. Although, nasa labas ng bahay yung Globe modem ko (using USB extension cable). Another thing na naobserve ko e kapag naka-usb extension cable ako (3m) e bumabagal yung connection speed ko (although tumataas yung signal). Is it entirely because of voltage shortening? Or… ako lang nakakaexperience nito? Baka may alam kayong paraan para maayos yung Latency (or delay) ng Gloab broadband? Help me na rin po. I also changed the Data packet size (RWIN) and (MTU) to a recommended level (based on internet setting) to help my connection. Pero konti lang effect, may delay pa rin. Pero generally, basta kahit papaano may internet, masaya pa rin ako… ^_^
may globe visibility modem ako na kasama sa postpaid account. sinubukan ko saksakan ng tattoo prepaid. kinopya ko iyong APN saka dial-number settings ng tattoo prepaid. connected pero ang bagal. 1 kbps download. 0.9 kbps upload. may mali po kaya sa settings ko? thanks.
BKt gnun?? Ung smart bro ko papalit palit ng signal sa 3G at HSPDa bumabagal sya pag nagpapalit.. Culiat Q.C loc. ko
Hindi gumagana nang maayos yung Globe Tattoo. Nung simula at may free load pa, mabilis yung internet. Ngayon, halos wala akong internet. Ganun din sa pinsan ko. Mahina lang talaga yung signal siguro sa Marikina pero hindi yun magandang excuse para sa pangit na service. Minsan din magdidisconnect pa sa sarili nya. Kaya lang naman ako gumagamit nito kasi di pa dumadating yung PLDT installation. Thumbs down ako.
or…

I have bought a SMART BRO and Globe Tattoo modem. SMART BRO is a gem only in open spaces, because it’s a piece of crap in enclosed spaces. The Globe Tattoo modem, on the other hand, albeit its slowness, always has a signal. Now that’s what I need–a modem that’s always getting a signal. So I’m not buying SMART’s “We’re The Fastest” bull. Who cares? I needed your services and you have no signal to give me? A Lamborghini Reventon is worthless if it hasn’t got fuel, after all.

BULLSHIT
uu nga mabilis kaya lng mabilis rin mawala ang signal….hehehehehe
mother ko nagpakabit ng smart broadband. ok lang sa umpisa pero hindi pa rin ako satisfied sa speed. kaya nagpakabit ako ng globe broadband. na surprise ako at nainis kasi mas mabagal sa smart. kainis talaga mga broadband. kahit anong sabihin nila, mabagal talaga sila.
ito pa man nakakainis. bumili ung pamangkin ko ng globe tatoo, kung dun sa broadband nila eh naglalakad sa bagal, ito naman, naglalakad ng alang paa sa bagal.
wag sana kayong magagalit sa sinabi ko. experience ko po ito.
note: 100 meters away lang kami sa cell site tower ng globe. kainis talaga!!!!
To Globe telecom:
Bka namn pde nio ayusin ung signal d2 sa malate area… sobrang bagal tlga.. full signal nga bagal naman.. I just hope na you do something about it rather than advertising and claiming your the fastest wireless broadband internert… dont think so.
Posted: 302200H JAN 2010
I tried using Globe Tattoo. I’m staying here at Marilao, Bulacan and we’re not that far from Metro Manila. Globe Tattoo’s speed sucks here. I wish they would improve their service especially for those living outside the Metro Manila area. I always go on out of town trips and I usually bring my laptop with me. ‘Haven’t tried Globe Tattoo in Pangasinan but I doubt it if they have a signal there.
Saan po ba makikita ang Tagum City Hot spot
Sana maging per minute na ang charging ng globe tattoo.
@Lyong_Min,
C# gamit ko bro. mas advance kasi. there’s a native language ang c# in manipulating modems. any modem basta meron txt. pwd rin gamitin mo yn phone mo na may modem features.
hayz tattooo super sa kahinaan ng connection kahit full ang signal naka HSDPA pa dito sa maasin city, southern leyte, very good tlga ang globe im writing this comment 1:43am ngayun lng ako nakaconnect since 10pm weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee very good, naloko pa ako lechogas ang globe
@john alfred
San ka nakakuha ng SDK? Anong Programming Language pwede gamitin? Pwede ba VB6? O VB .NET.
Does this also be used on other Wireless Broadband like SUN and Smart?
tang ina..53kb/s ang signal ng globe tattoo d2 sa abra..
i just bought a globe tattoo prepaid kit last night and its very slow. pwede kya makapagfarmville dun?
dito kasi ako sa cavite and i thought malakas ung signal kasi malapit lang sa manila.
I’m in Boni Ave mandaluyong, near EDSA. Anyone with Globe, Smart or Sun broadband in this area? which is the best? Any problems?
Smart has the most widest signal pero if ur in the site uf 3g signal from globe mabilis ang kanilang net connection.
I bought globe tatoo kasi huawei ang brand ng modem nila and pwd to magawan ng custom app with txting features. I enjoyed trying to create some apps with this this modem. and Im planning to clone the Globe Inventory system nila na with txt features. ^_^
2mbps = bandwidth, that’s the highest you can go(burst speed) pero pang browsing lang to iba naman un sa download. companies limit your download to 10-15% of your bandwidth minsan 5% pa. wireless connection speeds depend on your location and the number of users that are connected in your location. Sun 2mbs wireless sa manila can download 70kbps to 100kbps pag araw, umaabot nmn ng 140-220kbps pag gabi. globe wimax and smartbro(canopy) @512kbps bandwidth max download nila is 60kbps kahit nka download accelerator k pa, minsan lumalagpas pero bumabalik dn sa 60kbps.
globe tattoo d2 sa zamboanga umaabot ng 100kbps download, smartbro usb stick nmn download is 80kbps.
Sa pagpili ng wireless Internet provider piliin un pnkamalapit ang cellsite, usually you get good results pag ganun basehan mo.
fastest??? booooooo!!! di na halos maka connect dito sa tagbilaran bohol!! buti pa smart bro. bilis ng youtube. based on experience.
Hello guys!
We know na “nagpapataasan ng ihi” ngayon ang 3 Telco companies pagdating prepaid,plug-and-play, broadband kits.
(para tuloy gusto ko na lang ay Dial-Up Cards…hehehe oldies??)
Nabilib lang ako dito sa review about Globe Tattoo. May MicroSD slot??? Pano nga naman kung may virus ung memory card,is there any possibilities na masira ung USB Stick?? Well, siguro un ang sense ng “Warranty”…hehehe…
Also, regarding naman sa pinag-aawayan na “connection”, gaya nga ng sabi ng iba, it depends on your location. Since wireless connectivity, wag mangarap na laging okay ang connection. I live in Novaliches,Quezon City, at nakita ko sa commercial ng Globe Tattoo na one of the fastest broadband connection ang lugar namin…pero dahil sa mga comment niyo, mukhang kelangan kong bilhin ung 3, then kung anu ung mabilis, siyang gagamitin…the rest ay gift na lang sa X-mas. ^^
Siguro the best way sa pagdedecide kung ano ang bibilhin ay, interviewhin ng husto ung mga mag-aassist sa inyo pag bibili ng broadband kit. Itanong muna sa kanila kung malakas ba ang connection nung product sa lugar niyo, then kung pwede bang gamitin sa desktop computers, same also to laptop, at huli, kung may “money-back” guarantee…para walang sisihan sa bandang huli.
NOTE: sa accredited centers bumili, mostly mga nasa malls. kung di satisfied sa info na nalaman, tumawag sa kanilang Customer Service.
I hope nakatulong ako sa inyo…
Nagmamahal,
johnx007.
@ RaVen
Can you just share how to unlock it na lang?
I’ve been searching for it dati pa and all i found is the paid version.

kya di n po nyo kailngan bumli p ng khit anong huwaei kit.
mag tiyaga lng kau mg search at mag2wa nyo mpa upgrade yang huwaei modems nyo.
gud luk mga kbya2n.
it really depends on your location… i’m in paranaque and i first tried smartbro then globe tattoo and they both sucked. i’m using sunbroadband postpaid for the past 3 or 4 months now and i am now contented with the service.
@evans

@tim
saan ba location nyo? d2 din sa amin angono smartbro ok ang smartbro, speedtest ko nasa 800kbps pa nga eh. siguro upgraded na.. problema na lang dito eh customer service nila.
@Andy
I agree with you. parang kahit saan ako, kahit visibility or wimax gamit ko eh.. DI KO MAABOT ANG MUNDO… hehhehe
Im with you tim. XO
Globe and sun are no good here in our place. Smartbro’s still the best.
I tried the sun’s easy internet for 799/month and i was pretty amazed to find out that it is even faster than my smartbro prepaid and way faster than my globe 995/month postpaid, even at one bar with wcma signal!
Pwede din ba sa globe visibility ang SUN sim?
super bagaaaaaal!
Hello, I can do unlocking (Huawei USB Modems only) just give me a call if you are interested for only P50 each Huawei USB Modem. This is a remote unlocking and you can do it your own and put the code.
So what are you waiting for? now you can use any type of Broadband operator sim card on one single modem.
Please call 092274***** please include your model# & your IMEI#
Thanks
I was really disappointed with the Globe Broadband i can say that WIMAX is just another type of branding, its just like a new way of improving the signal but still have the same slow internet connection, cos the problem is their DNS not their signal,if u are reading this please refer to my past comment, i said this coz they tried to install my wimax a few days ago, but oh my the browsing is as slow as a turtle it cant even open the speedtest.net site properly,though the signal is 100%. So it was really a mix emotion of disappointment and worried, coz not again, i don’t want another one year with a crappy internet connection, coz i am using this for my job. So i called them up and cancel the migration to wimax contract with them and just continue the 3g which apparently as i’ve said on my last comment is ” a pain in the ass” and “Hindi ko Maabot ang Mundo”.I feel i was scammed by some advertisement and irresponsible advertisers. I am just waiting for my contract to end and it would be a great riddance, I’m planning to try another ISP like SUN with their no lock in period plan or go back to DSL.
i prefer smart.. im using there plan999 and it work on me.. i love smart as ever…….
i thought i could use that tatoo for my research work, but i got a headache waiting for the site to be downloaded,, somebody told me that smart is better than tatoo,,,
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! I am not asking any sympathy here… i just want to inform others before they take it… Yeah i Hope ANDY will have a good connection.. but i doubt. just give feedback here if its good at your location. I also have a globe visibility.. and it is a piece of sh*t. i our house in makati.. high signal no transmission.. in san lorenzo sta rosa laguna.. high signal no xmission.. in angono.. same.. in starmall edsa shaw.. intermittent.. i usually travel north n south luzon.. i cant see where i can use that usb vishitbility.. so i put my smart sim there and use it in smart.. i found the conf.. here in yugatech.. now i can use my usb smart visibility! hahahah! GLOBE SUCKS!!! X3
I am a Globe 3g broadband subscriber for half a year now, and it is really a pain in the ass for me since i subscribed from them, i used to have a DSL 384 kbps speed which really works just fine, and then i thought of trying wireless broadband for 512kbps from Globe which i thought will be faster than my old DSL but i was wrong, all i got is headaches. I am stuck with the lock in period and here is the worse part of it, the technician who came in to check my internet suggested me to migrate to their wimax to improve my internet and solve the problem, so i did,I went to their wireless center, they terminated my previous account with them and shifted to wimax but the thing is they told me that everything will be reset and i will be again locked in for one year! Now i have this strange feeling of hesitations since i read the comment of Warren on top,’cos i live just in antipolo, i am still waiting for them to install my wimax 1Mbps. Wish me luck.
YEAH GLOBE SUCKS.
TO ALL WHO AGREE PLEASE SPREAD THIS LINK SO THAT OTHERS WILL THINK FIRST BEFORE THEY’LL BUY.
YEAH GLOBE SUCKS!
I subscribe here in angono for globe… we have here a globe wimax… for about 2 months now.. i only use it for 3days… the other 57 days are dead.. i cant even load a webpage..
and the plan is 1295/mo.. but when the billing arrive it was 1800+… Globe Sucks!!!!
Basahin niyo to. http://jessicarulestheuniverse.com/2009/10/15/livid/Galit na galit si Jessica Zafra.
every time i connect the globe tattoo on my PC it hanged up…please help ASAP…
Abe,
Please refer our Tattoo concern with your friends in Globe.
I was encouraged to purchase tattoo recently here in a mall in Cabanatuan City.
At first, I thought it was just an isolated case whenever I experiencing either being disconnected or having very slow browsing.
It’s very unfair for their customers for this treatment.
I have been a Globe prepaid customers for the last 4 years. So I believe that Globe will consider our concern.
globe tattoo is awful. it’s the slowest I’ve ever seen. even at full strength, five signal bars, the speed fluctuates between 0 kbps and 300 kbps. Nowhere near 2mbps. The 2mbps is a total lie and fraud. I would not recommend it. Even at 0 kbps you still get charged 20p per hour. What a ripoff. Getting charged for the slowest connection I’ve ever seen!
di ko pa nasusubukan ang tattoo.
pero maganda naman ang connection ng smart bro
okay sya
para sakin ang globe tattoo design lang ang maipagmamalaki
ung only problem ko lang ung unang part
dahil di gumana ang modem pero naagapan after one week. tapos, un. wala ng ibang problema ever since
maganda sya as prepaid broadband
Paano pa kaya pag may antenna na?
Eh di sobrang bilis na!
I recommend Smart Bro though..
maganda ang speed nya
walang problem sa pag load at connection
putang ina tlgang globe to!!!!!!!! kumakain ng load nkconect pero di gumagana internet tpos nuubos lod ko mga hayop kyo!!!!!!!!!bumagsak sana kyo ang kapal ng mukha nyo!!!!Tng ina nyo

I’m planning to buy tattoo, but with these comments, better to stick to use my phone as modem. Waste of money lang eh. Is there a way to sue Globe for false advertisement and stealing subscribers money?
grabe bkit kaya ang bagal ng globe mobile broadband ko dto sa blumentritt, manila.?/
in terms of services, price of load and speed? which broadband company is best? smart, globe or sun? im from pasay?
Im from pasay which broadband services will be better fro me, pls help!
ASK KO LNG KUNG MAYROON SIGNAL ANG GLOBE TATTOO DITO SA AMIN STA ROSA NUEVA ECIJA KC ANG GAMIT KO SMART BRO BUT I WANT TO TRY GLOBE TATTOO. KYA GUSTO SANA MALAMAN KUNG MAS MABILIS ANG CONNECTION NIO… PLSSSS PASAGOT NMAN
I recently bought Globe Tattoo in the hopes of having an internet on-the-go..
Unfortunately, when I tried it, the broadband is fluctuating and it register 0.00 kbps most of the time..
I hope there are some ways to get my money back..
I’ve been reading this post and find it unfair to compare wired internet connection with USB modems.
For one thing, these USB modems where meant for mobility. I use both Smart Bro and Globe Tattoo simply because i want the option of having a back-up in case one of the service provider is weaker (or stronger) in any given area around the Philippines. I travel around the country frequently because of my work and frankly, Globe Tattoo is mediocre. Even at GPRS speed, Smart Bro is much more stable and reliable.
I think people who sing praises about Globe’s broadband services being awesome doesnt move around the country and mostly live only in Metro Manila and its surrounding provinces.
I honestly dont know why Globe is so slow at increasing the speed, reliability, and coverage of their 3G and 3.5G services.
Lowering their Globe Tattoo USB modems is a bad marketing move in my opinion. Why on god’s good earth would any network provider be stupid enough to want more people to use their internet services when it still sucks in the first place?
Lowered USB modem costs + unreliable connection + weaker coverage = a lot of pissed-off consumers
Globe is digging its own grave.
my sister is a subscriber of tattoo plan 799… actually when ive tride it on my laptop, the connection is fast.. just need to configure some settings when installed.. i disabled the DIBCOM TV TUNER device drive since this drive installed causes lag in your internet speeds (to disable this, if you are using windows OS, just run your PC in safe mode, plug your stick, right click *My Computer* choose *device manager*, then from your *Sound Device Drives*, right click the *DIBCOM TV TUNER*, choose *properties*, and disable the drive)… hope that tweak works.. and i just wanna inform you guys who owns tattoo kits:
>>FAST SPEED IS USUALLY FROM 12mn-11am, WHERE THE FASTEST SPEED IS FROM 3am-5am;
>>SLOW SPEED IS FROM 2pm-4pm, WHERE THE SLOWEST SPEED IS FROM 3:00pm-3:30pm..

hi po,
tanong ko lang po, kung pede mag port forward sa globe tattoo??
Any info on how fast the speeds are here in Laguna, Pagsanjan-Sta.Cruz area to be more specific.
I’m planning to try the unlimited plan of globe tattoo, but I’m having doubts thanks to the infamous sucky service of globe broadband. I’m usually on the go so a wired connection won’t do, I really need a plug-in internet service, unlimited one.
Unfortunately SmartBRO’s unlimited service is still unvailable, they said “maybe next month”, but those maybes lasts like a year or so.
Any info would be very helpful.
adikk talaga ang globe bomba!! im trying to finish my thesis by using internet for searching some ideas, that’s why nag paconnect kami sa globe broadband and u know what 1 week palang naga2mit shutdown nadaw connection,kada call mo sa hotline ulit ulit ang sinasabi nila..i trust globe but heyyy globe wake up!!asan ang word of honor nyo sa mga customer nyo, pa terminate kaman x2 pa babayaran, kaw na na abala kaw pa ang mananagutan..hayyy nakuuuuuu..globe please wag nyo paasahin mga subcriber nyo.kilos agad!!!!!!
i have this and want to throw this tattoo. very unstable signal despite that were near to globe.. haller.. my friend staying at globe twers and guess what signal is not that stable globe cs cant help either.one thing walang kwenta ang globe when it come to internet services like this.. wag na nila sana lokohin ang mga tao nakakainis kasi yung mga advertisement nila eh.. sinungaling sila.. use sun instead.
Crappy service! Someone from Globe as he claims tried to reach me through my review post. I’d say it’s just a lousy save-face act.
to get even with globe, you can have your tattoo modems unlocked so you can use sim cards from other network. hopefully they can give you a better and more stable hsdpa signal. once you have that, install cproxy application so you can browse the internet even with zero load balance
o yan..makakabawi na kayo sa globe hehe
Globe tattoo really sucks…iv been suffering from a very weak signal for months now…when i tried to call their customer service representatives it got worst…their CSR’s cant help you resolve your problem…its just like talkng to idiots….they will promise you alot of things that like this and like that will happen within 24 hrs or within 3-5 working days but then you will just wait for nothing…this globe tattoo is a shame…!
I was also fooled by this globe tattoo. Even postpaid is very slow at 1-30kbps only. Now I have to suffer for 2 years to terminate the contract or I shall pay 10,000 for that useless gadget!
They’re selling it but poor signal ALWAYS!!!
globe tattoo its just a waste of money. I thought i got good buy for better broadband,what a shame..
Don’t waste your money buying this Tattoo because it sucks… My location is in Makati and how come I am connected (meaning consuming my load)but the download speed is 0.46kbps. I experienced this now once but so many times. Now they are telling that its up to 2mbps.
I was planning to purchase the globe broadband tattoo pero sa nabasa ko na mga negative feedbacks, I guess I’ll just stick to dsl na lang.
globe visibility here in iloilo is
good when you hspda signal…
kaya lang kung minsan nawawala ang signal
for an hour or even a day..
ung globe broadband nman na may
modem na huawie b933
flactuating ung signal
110kbps at biglang baba sa 12kbps…
pabalik balik lang…ahhaha
ok lang ba na pagpalitin ung sim?
para lang mag stable ung signal..
Ok po ba ung signal ng globe sa Bago City Negros Occidental?? chineck ko sa website ng tattoo.. kasali xa sa areas na cover ng HSDPA.. Im using smartbro ang bagal talaga.. download speed ranges from 1-10kbps.. huhuhu.. gusto kong magswitch sa globe .. pero baka ganun din ..
tang ina nyo ang aarte nyo,,magpatayo kayo ng cell site sa bubong nyo para malakas cgnal nyo,,,ahahahhahahah!!!!!!!
globe tattoo and sun broadband works very well for me, smart bro is SMARTBROKEN. to those who purchased wireless prepaid kits, do manual search on your network and choose the 3G/3G+ setting,
On a side note, my brother once tried the tattoo on a bus from Manila to Tagaytay and he said the connection and download was pretty fast.
So for a fast connection……get on a bus or live in one, you’ll be exploring all the cell sites along the way.
I got my tattoo a couple days ago. Didn’t pay for it since it was free when purchasing a laptop. Basically, it’s all in the location.
Tried it at my apartment in Pasay (intersection of Buendia/Taft) and got HSPDA connection and downloading was fast too. Then tried it at my house in Silang Cavite and got GPRS at an average of 33Kbps, much slower than dial up, didn’t even wanna bother to download anything.
In my experienced, I’ve tried the PLDT999 (a residential plan which is the best connection I’ve ever had) having an average 1.5Mbps 24/7(never went below 1Mbps and sometimes went up to 3Mbps). Had to give this up when I moved to my current house in Silang Cavite. Now I’m using Smart Bro for my residential internet connection. It aint fast (compared to PLDT999) but it aint slow either.
I think the only benefit to the tattoo is it’s mobility. Ironically, most of the location the tattoo is used gets unstable or extremely slow connections.
I bought one and use it here in Iloilo.
I was using Tatto to acces circuit schematics and spec sheets online. I thought it would make things convenient for me.
It is extremely unreliable. I cannot stress that enough. Don’t waste your money.
totoo tlaga mga comments niyo na globe tattoo sucks. am from tacloban 3g na area namin. sabi ng ahente ng tattoo dito na mabilis daw pag naka hsdpa na yung signal na nakalagay pero d naman totoo. oo nga full dito ang hsdpa signal tapos yung upload nakalagay 1.5mbps pero d naman ako makadownload, maski na yung attachment ko na word sa yahoomail ko d mabuksan. ano ba yan. sana ayusin naman ng globe ang concern na ito. iparefung ko nlang yung globe tattoo ko, lilipat na ako sa smart bro, ang bilis bilis pang magdownload, yun kasi gamit ng kapatid ko.
anyone who has tried smart bro or globe tattoo around mabalacat, pampanga? i have no idea which is better eh.
ask ko lng sino na poh ba nka try ng globe tatooe dito sa cavite mary homes, super hina kc ng signal ng smart dito samen pag dating sa cellphone? super dead tlga kht nsa lbas ka isang bar ng signal lng masasagap mo di tulad ng globe kht nsa loob ka ng bahay at Cr may signal ka pa din. ano kya mas mganda sa area nmen globe or smart. and i also leave here in mla. any idea kung ano mas mgnda?
I just got my globe tattoo and for some weird reason, it keeps disconnecting every 15 minutes. Which is really inconvenient.
And I can’t seem to find where to tweak the settings.
Way to go Globe!
/sarcasm
hayzzz based on others’ comment, i confused if i’ll buy tatoo….hmmmpppp….. i dont have any idea if it is realy work..well…. maybe i’ll try to… sana mabilis we are undergo on thesis i need lots of time to research in net, i cant afford monthly payment..so i prefer to have tatoo instead….hmmm pls help me for more info bout tatoo…..
i plan 2 buy tatoo prepaid kit soon… i was heared that it is better than any other prepaid.. the signal is good so.. i hope that it would’nt dissappoint me…
sa cavite city b malakas ang signal ng tattoo??
ANG GLOBE TATTO ANG VERY SLOW SA DESKSTOP LAGI NA LNG NAPUPUTOL ANG SIGNAL SAYANG ANG LOAD…GISING NAMAN DYAN ANG GLOBE PAANO BA MA IMPROVED ANG SIGNAL NYO…
I subscribed to Globe for wireless broadband 3g (995/month),internet only at 512 kbps last May 10 2009, they gave me Huawei B933 modem. The first time they install it i got a 300 kbps and up speed, the transmitter is just a few meters from my house and after few weeks the speed went down remarkably so i called them up and ask them to check my connection and then “pabalibalik na lang yong technician to my house” coz i am getting only 170 kbps and most of the times is “mas mababa pa” and until now my internet speed is very poor just below 200kps not even half of what i am paying which is suppose to be 512 kbps and i am really disappointed and keep on calling them about it and ang sabi nila is they are having some nationwide maintenance on their 3G, and they don’t give me any assurance kung kelan matatapos ito which really gives me a real headache coz i am using it for my online job. I am really disappointed with GLOBE. I will never subscribe to any Globe broadband ever again.
d b pedeng palitan sim ng globe tattoo? panu ba i-DC unlock 2? hahahah!
khit cp q hirap ang signal ng globe sa pngasinan… dnala q sa baguio ang globe tattoo pero 0.0kbps ang lmalabas… kmusta nmn kaya load q? simpleng google at yahoo ndi pa mpasok… hahahah! putik!
ang hirap ng connection ngayon ng tattoo don’t know why is there any wrong in their system or what??
prang maganda nanma yung offer ng smart bro pero di ko parin sure!!
any ideas how much the post paid plan would be?
particularly dito sa tumaga zamboanga city… mabilis ba yun connection??? gusto ko sana bumili ng globe… kc nung bumili ako ng smart sobrangggggggggggggggggggg bagal…
mabilis ba ang connection dito sa zamboanga???? reply naman dyannnnnnnnnnn
Kumuha ako ng wireless globe broadband plan 995 unlimited may internal modem n huawei B933 may sim card sya. Kinuha yung sim card nya nilagay ko sa tattoo prepaid kit binago ko yung setting ok sya gumana mabilis d2 s area namin kahit wala ng external antenna. Yung tattoo ko unlimited n kahit san mo dalin basta may signal na 3g ng globe.
hey guys.. i live in davao city.. I actually get a HSDPA connection.. un daw sabi sa globe broadband pero sa statistics and speedtest.. umaabot lang siya ng less than 256kbps.. actually di tlga umaabot ng 200.. haha.. tsk tsk.. i wonder if it has anything to do with the rain.. dapat diba around 512+ ang connection? tsk tsk tlga.. sana maayos 2h..
well i try using th tatoo… its sosososososos suck were ever u are…….
I have my globe visibility (USB) for less than a year.. pero hindi ko pa nagagamit ever since.. ilan beses ko na niloadan.. it always connect at full bar.. pero pag nagbrowse ako… bad trip!!!!
I live at Guadalupe makati.. HSDPA.. it SUCKS!
I work at Starmall Edsa Shaw.. HSDPA… it sucks!
At my computer Shop in Angono… IT SUCKS!
At San Lorenzo, Sta. Rosa…. IT SUCKS!
At Tagaytay… It suck!
Kahit san yata ako magpunta.. bwiset yang GLOBE
invisibility na yan… SHET! .2kbps instead of 2mbps!
kahit pagbebentahan wala ako makita may gusto.. for one year binebenta ko kahit 1k lang.. wala kumuha.. kung saan saan lugar na nakarating!
IT SUCKS!!!
Wow ang bilis ng Globe Tatoo kung meron lng kayong antenna…Believe it or not umabot sa 3.6 Mbps ang speed dto sa Gensan..Pag tinanggal ko sa socket ang antenna. balik siya sa GPRS ang signal..HSDPA naman pag connected..I suggest Baron antenna ang gamitin niyo yung extended antenna dahil mabilis siya..may kamahalan lng nga mga P630 ang bili ko rito nd P450 pa sa adapter ng antenna sa socket mismo ng USB…pero guranteed satisfaction naman..Kung gusto niyo, ipainstall niyo sa marunong o di kaya isang engineer!!:D
I bought one and have had nothing but problems. It did install and work out of the box, no problems. Worked for one day, reasonable speed. Day 2 DOWN from 11am to 9am the next day. Globe said the entire Butuan network was down. Next day was OK but speed was extremely variable. Today “Network down” from roughly 7am to 11am… same story.
Also if you do time browsing, which is the only affordable option, you get charge for a new 15 minute segment every-time you loose a connect, which is frequent.
I just do not think that Globe’s infrastructure is ready to support a product like this.
Why don’t you all complain at NTC or at Senate? Since Enrile is complaining about Globe, why don’t you add more fuel to the fire?
So EVIL.
I’ve said this on the globe tattoo forum. This is just to warn those who are planning to buy/use their globe tattoo:
Globe tattoo is even worse than a 56kbps modem ( even on a commercial area like Makati or Ortigas wherein conn. speed ranges from 0-12kbps ). The ave. speed I’m getting is 0-3kbps. This doesn’t allow to either sign me in to my im, or browse the web, or download files. This is very inconvenient to use. Yesterday is the worst I’ve ever used this thing, from morning to night, I get connected but can’t do anything over the internet, not even logging to im. Aside from that, the ave. times that I get disconnected due to the slow connection is 5x. I have to re-connect again. For every re-/connection, there’s a min. charge of Php5.00. Just for reconnecting, I’m loosing Php25.00. For those who plan to buy a Globe Tattoo, please think again, don’t let your money and energy be wasted, or make sure that you can get a refund if you’re not satisfied.
planning to get a post paid internet service.but i can’t really choose.i have a cousin who switched from SMARTBro to Globe because of connection speed pero kasi malayo sya sa amin soi can’t use him as a reference.tapos ung internet shop sa tabi namin Globe ang gamit, inconsistent and connection.minsan mabilis pero pag hapon na, mabagal pa sa pagong.im afraid to try sun kasi kahit nga signal sa phone mahina.. *sigh*
dunno if im being picky or judgemental,pero i seriously need help here.thanks
@evil one
i live at mandaluyong and there’s a pldt office somewhere along Boni? do you think this would help if i get a pldt DSL?2 lang naman kami ng sister ko nagagamit.she’s a student.tapos ako bum so i’ll use it most of the time.hehe
I’m a postpaid subscriber of globe tattoo 1499. The plan includes 120 hours of surfing and unlimited wifi access to any globequest wiz hotspot.
The connection is VERY UNSTABLE. I access it at the office or at my condo and I’m always only in one spot. I don’t go to other rooms, heck I don’t even shift my laptops position when I access the broadband.
Nevertheless, my download speed would go from 150kbps to 0.25kbps in a matter of minutes. Whats worse is that it stays at 0.25 kbps unless I disconnect my line and reconnect it again. Then it’ll start to download at high speeds until about 30minutes, where the download speed will go back to the glacial 0.25kbps.
All of this happens when I’m connected to HSDPA, no changing bands, it was always HSDPA.
I access my broadband in Makati and the HSDPA signal is ALWAYS full but the speeds are never consistent.
So I opted for an alternative, using the unlimited WIZ WIFI, that comes with the plan 1499. BUT GLOBE, it seems, NEVER wants to provide you the service that you paid for.
You can’t access the wifi unless you send an sms request for your WIZ username and password. The SMS costs P2.50 every request and the password that will be sent to you is only usable for 24 hours.
So if you wanted to use it everyday, you’d be charged an additional P2.50 on top of the amount you pay for your plan. That translates to an additional P75 per month!
I requested for a permanent password through their CSR but I was informed that one CANNOT get a permanent password, and that I will just have to make do with requesting for a password everyday and paying the P2.50 everyday.
I wanted to have my line cut, but they said I had to pay P10,000 because I’m still under the lock in period.
So are you thinking about subscribing to globe tattoo?
I would advice AGAINST it. Try smart brooadband instead.
im planning on getting globe kit kaso dadalhin ko sa middle east papalitan ko ng sim dun pwde kaya?
let…. use my dialect; dinhi sa amoa sa mindanao sa LABASON, ZAMBOANGA DEL NORTE…wala pa gyod signal kanang inyong giingon nga broadband naay smart hinay ..bi anhi daw mo diri ug mag-install na mo diri kanang kusog ug speed taas ug mbps….maghulat mi…DAGHANG BIZDAK diri…i’ sure you have plenty of cusumers in our town…even to neidhboring town pleaaseeee..u.
here is a tip guys!
if your planing to have an internet connection just for HOME USE only, try to apply for PLDT myDSL line like plan 888 or plan 990 specially if your location is near a PLDT central/business offices…
and upon connection assembly by a pldt technician try to bribe the them to raise ur bandwidth… already tried that because before i work as a technical support for pldt so i know PLDT’s darkside.. hehehe
and did you know that for a line connection even thou you applied for any type of plan line plan880,plan990,plan1320 or any business type of plan you are only paying for SAME KIND OF LINE!!
believe it or not!
at USA or europe they are only paying for 2 types of line. that is residential and business.. because they have 2 different type of connection.. fiber and copper connection.. here at philippines we only have 1 type of connection.. copper type.. although we have a fiber but it is only use for CORPORATE account…
copper connection can reach up to 10mbps and those corrupt businessman they just limit ur connection to make you believe that ur only paying for that bandwidth.. MARKETING strategy… hehehehe
hope this will help you guys….
tattoo is not bad afterall… but it is only for browsing not for downloading or gaming
what i mean is it is too slow to use for DL or online game….
I tried checking its bandwith on different speedtest site.. the highest result i’ve got is up to 300+kbps… but upon checking on this site i must get UP to 2mbps…
not even close to haft….
i am a laptop user so i have tried using it on different location like quezon,ortigas and paranaque…
same result,I only get up to 300kbps…
although it is a thumbs up..because it is portable and always ready to use anywhere…
better than dial-up! :D hehehe
hmmm. one more thing… compare using it on a DSL line.. it is somehow faster and handy specially for a laptop user… you dont have to look for a wi-fi..
i also gunno try SUN just for comparing… no hard feelings for globe fanatics.. as for having a filipino attitude i am just looking for a provider that suite my bills…
right? :D hehehehe
kabibili ko lang ng globe tatttttoooo!!!!! waaahhhh….nawawala ang connections…kainis!!!! dito sa la union kahit katabi ko tower useless!!!!
Why waster your money on buying this USB modems? If your phone is 3G and HSDPA/HSUPA capable use it at your advantage. New phones released on the market have these High speed internet capability. Maybe you all need to read your phone’s manual to use it as a modem. I’ve been using my phone for more than a year to connect to the internet wirelessly. I can’t complain even though my phone is only 3G capable so I’m planning to buy a new phone that have those High Speed protocols.
Get most out of your mobile phone than waste on buying these USB kits.
btw, since desktop CPUs are mostly placed on the corner of the room or sitting on the floor, mobile signal is weak.
technology priorities kasi ang dahilan kaya minsan bagsak ang services ng ibang product ng mga telecoms carrier, wala sila long term plan for thier subcribers, tulad ngayon may technology that evolves with fiber optics, then ang company magswitch ng priority, so they invest more doon sa kikita sila at bago, tapos yung broadband services and DSL, bagsak na. so dont expect for services to be better. sana yung mga subscribers nila tutulungan din to upgrade and avail their new services, or the customer can have discount to avail thier new products diba? ay nasa Pinas pala tayo.
what do you think Globe.
better than expected, kasi kala ko sa remote place na tinirhan ko mahina signal na Globe tattoo, sabi kasi ng sales rep, di advisable for desktop ang tattoo… but you know what i got, fix connection. Wow. mabilis mag dowload, and upload, di talaga full 2MB full speed, pero sa lugar namin na gumagapang ang signal ng smart BRO, sa Globe tattoo na ako. globe please work naman for 2MB full speed…. yan talaga ang makukuha pag loyal user ka ng globe services.
super bagal ng globe tattoo… i am so thankful my may sun broadband… nagpalit na ako. grabe mababato ka sa tattoo.
i have yet to try globe tattoo. planning to buy a laptop this weekend at free ang kit. i think depende sa 3g signal on that area. and since laging puno ang 3g bar ng cell ko (pasay), i am hoping maganda connection ko.. sana. will post here pag na-try ko na. chill!
ANU BA KAYU!!!! RESPECT THE AREA LOCATION…. PESTE!!! hhahaa

Hello people!
Is it really true na hindi pwede ang globe tattoo sa desktop? Magdodorm na kasi ako sa june & wala pa akong laptop kaya for the mean time desktop muna dadalhin ko. I need the internet for my research& to stay connected with my family. I will be staying in Dasmariñas, Cavite near the DLS-UMC. I used to live around the area too & have used the internet using my GLOBE PHONE 3G service yata and so far it was a pleasant experience. Right now I’m just thinking twice about buying globe tattoo bec I heard from my cousin that the connection is really slow.
I’ve had a bad experience with globe wireless center kasi, pag customer service okay sila pero pag wireless center para bang ayaw ka nilang i-accomodate. Dati kasi talagang gustong-gusto kong kumuha ng globe broadband pero naka-ilang tawag na ako at pumunta pa ako sa office nila pero wala…sa inis ko pumasok ako sa Smart wireless center at ayun 2 days lang may broadband na ako. Isa pa Smart Bro is partners with PLDT kaya sure na okay ang kanilang connection. Sa bahay namin ngayon may DSL na at may Smart Bro, plano sana namin pa switch sa Smart Bro wireless dahil nga magdodorm na ako pero hindi daw pwede accdg to Smart since may sari-sariling plans ang line at wireless! (naaasar na naman ako kasi pareho namang Smart yun, gusto yata nilang mangyari eh bili rin kami ng Smart Bro wireless eh sobra na sila) kaya eto nagbabakasakali ulit sa globe kasi globe subscriber rin ako since then kaya hangga’t maaari gusto ko globe pa rin internet ko. Umayos lang sana ang customer service nila kasi parang ayaw nilang bumenta e!!
yez…. banokz…no…
need a help here,,,,,any idea where i can buy an antenna for the globe broadband tatoo? pls,,,
walang kwenta sarap durugin ng tatoo nyo!nagsisi lng ako.
i’ve tested both GLOBE Tattoo & Smart Bro here in binondo…. i’ll go with GLOBE. smart sucks in binondo palaging walang signal kahit sa cellphone. perhaps both company should thought of upgrading their signals dahil dumadami na ung gumagamit ng cellsite nila.
im planning to test sun cellular’s wireless soon.
im a user of globe tattoo prepaid bakit di ako maka download ng yahoo msnger or any pwede download.bkit kaya?
Surf the internet with Globe Tattoo ON IDLE CONNECTION.
Use this site:
http://web.portal.com.ph.kproxy.com/
I use that when I could not connect to a website. Hope it works well with you too.
Note:
This does not work with YM. :(
Globe Tattoo 2Mbps – 2 Minutes Before Page Shows
I have both Tattoo and Smart Bro and I go around MM but my office is here at MOA where I normally just get a GPRS signal :(
After using both for more than a month now I would go with Smart Bro, Im a Globe HP user for the past 12 years but the Tattoo service really sucks, I was even in a place in Misamis Oriental and the resort is just beside a giant Globe cellsite and my Smart Bro is faster even if both was running on GPRS. Whats happening to Globe?
my mistake..
you spend 40 pesos for 2 hours.. not a day…
you know what.
i already switched to a residential dsl connection. and it’s stable than any other wireless signal. i understand your concerns about maximum use of the internet without the hassles of disconnections and other f*cked up things, as well as the economic aspect. kasi when you say prepaid, you eventually think na makakatipid kayo. for some of us, we even think na a residential DSL is faster pero mahal. let’s take into consideration the time you spend when you go online. for example, using your tattoo and like you load up 20 pesos an hour to just roam the cyberworld doing whatever, and then you add another 20 pesos kasi nga bitin, kasi super bagal or you need to download something not naman big as in big, just quite big, so it’s 40 pesos na… samantala, with DSL data only, of 995 with a speed of UP TO 1 mbps, online ka whenever you want it, sa 995 fixed amount ng bill mo every month, i-divide mo ito into 31 days, which is one month exact, what do you get? a rounded figure of 33 pesos a day. now going back to globe tattoo… you spent 40 pesos a day just to go online… 40 pesos is just 2 freaking hours. which 33 pesos is 24 hours, provided na hindi ka nga natutulog. so think about it. 33 pesos a day divide it by 24 hours, how much per hour do you pay with Globe’s DSL? almost 2 pesos an hour. yun yun eh.
I just hope my review enlightened people on switching from wireless to wired connection… provided na di sila maxadong active with their social life…
Just an advice for those who want to avail of wireless broadband, test them all sa mga area na madalas kayo pumunta o tumambay.
Test GLOBE, SMART, SUN. After doing your test, decide on what TELCO you will choose may it be SMART, GLOBE or SUN since their service are wireless I’m sure their service will vary depending on the area of coverage and where you will test them.
RkD, Ok naman Globe Tatto since Globe cell site is located on top of Phase 1 of El Pueblo.
Tested Globe Tattoo it work just fine download rate up to 430 kBps max between 9:00pm and 12:00mn.
But SUN wireless braodband is much better I can get as much as 2.1mbps between 9:00pm and 12:00mn. I already got a SUN broadband prepaid. And I’m not disappointed with it.
Currently waiting for SUN Cellular to release o PROMO of 3 in 1 bundle SUN CELL + SUN TEL + SUN WIRELESS BROADBAND. kapag nagkaroon na sila mag-switch ko na sa post paid yung broadband. kasi naka bundle yung SUN CELL and SUN TEL ko hehehe….
WISHING SUN will come up with this package sure uupgrade ko plan ko…..
Hello, Lyong_Min. I also live in El Pueblo Novaliches area. Have you tried the Sun broadband kit yet? I am planning on getting Globe Tattoo but if Sun is just as good then maybe I’ll get that instead
where can i buy an antenna socket for the globe tattoo kit?my ngbebenta kc sa globe cnter dito sa amin pero hindi nmn nag-click ung socket antenna.my karapatan ba akong isuli un?kasi useless ung binili ko.pag maikakalat to,masisira pangalan ng GLOBE.i need reply to this message.thnx
Wala bang nabibiling Globe Tattoo Sim pack lng? Yun lang naman tlga ang kailangan eh puede mo naman gamitin ang phone mo as modem buti pa ang Smart 3g capable yung mga Sim di tulad ng globe madaya…

Hi,
Sino may alam na pwede bilhan ng external antenna para sa Huawei E160 usb modem card? I’ve tried CD-R king pero out of stock daw sila and no TAT on when it will be available again.
For me Globe Tattoo works fine to others globe tattoo has a worst service. But it ends up to your location.
From my home at El Pueblo, Kingspoint Sudb. Bagbag Novaliches signal is always HSDPA. But using it in Muñoz area it always fall on GPRS only and connection is really slow……
SmartBro (prepaid)on the other hand is really slow at El Pueblo, Kingspoint Subd. Bagbag Novaliches. But haven’t tested this yet in Muñoz area.
I’ll try SUN Broadband next to check and finalize which I will subscribe on….. Because I’m using SUN on my mobile and its always on full signal at home.
Globe people dont know what are they selling.. They have that ad on their website that globe tattoo can be use both on desktop and laptop. But then when you inquire about globe tattoo in their business centers, the first thing they would ask you is if you have your laptop with you. Such a nincompoop, they didnt know what are they posting on their website, they are unsure of their product and they dont even trust if their product will work on a desktop.

sino gusto makipagpalit sa akin. globe tattoo gamit ko papalitan ko ng smartbro.
hope that someone can help on this – pwede ba gamitin ang sun broadband sim sa globe tattoo usb? Wala kwenta ang globe tattoo, pareho lang sila ng smartbro. Mas mabilis pa magbrowse sa internet using my celphone as modem.
Based on my experience, it’s Ok to use Globe tattoo during daytime. I’ve experienced slowing down of internet speed during nighttime, maybe because the network is congested due to many users. So, i suggest, the best time you use this device is during daytime, specifically 1AM to 6AM. ;)
Also, another bad thing in globe tatoo is that you cannot broadcast your webcam with IM client, but you can view the webcam of others. I remember when i bought this device in MOA branch of Globe, they told me about this and i said “tlga? bkit wla naman sa advertisement?”..
Globe broadband is OK for me when it comes to performance, especially during off-peak hours (nighttime).
Cons: you cannot broadcast your webcam in IM (e.g. yahoo messenger), but you can view the webcam of others.
Note: it’s advisable that you use this device during daytime.
any1 tested it in Cavite City???
i wanted to know if the speed is good in my area…
i want to make sure my P1,895 is worth it… ^_^
Advice ko lang WAG na kayong bumili ng GLOBE TATTOO. Laging NETWORK ERROR (kahit 96% signal strength ng HSDPA), maiinis lang kayo nang sobra. Sayang ang pera nyo.
Globe ayusin nyo naman serbisyo niyo! GLOBE TAE dapat tawag dyan hindi GLOBE TATTOO!
i just bought my kit last saturday and after trying and trying this tattoo… napipikon ako! ang bagal! nakaka inis talaga! sayang lang ata ang 1895 ko! huh! im from sta mesa manila pero yung loction ko cant help me na mapadali ang pag bro browse ko!
Hello hello people!
Well what can I say sa Globe tattoo? Nothing yet…
I’ve tried the new Smartbro prepaid and it works fine in my area in Mamatid, Cabuyao, Laguna. Almost tolerable 1.2 Mbps(using the ever reliable speakeasy speedtest website)… and the download is ascending from 3 KBps to almost 80 KBps.And yes, rumors that the probability it may disconnect while surfing is true. But still the previous prepaid balance was not forfeited and reusable.
Last month I’d tried the first bloated modems of Smartbro and Globe. They are really slow(even HSDPA mode), but Globe visibility if the slowest of them all(although rumors saids it has a cell tower near in our area).
Well before I buy the new Smartbro prepaid, I think I have to try the Globe Tattoo modem. How I wish someone would lend a tatoo modem to me, so I can finally decide which prepaid modem to choose.
By the way, when measuring the speed of your bandwith, DO NOT ASSUME 300kbps is the actual bandwith speed of the file you are downloading. kbps(kilobits per second) is different from KBps(kilobytes per second). So as to say, 300kbps speed is 37 KBps download speed, and hey it varies depending in your PC/laptop.
There are important aspect to consider also such as the:
1. Remaining free RAM of the computer.
2. Malware infection(Yeah some malware,either virus, spyware,prevents the browser from accessing some websites, e.g. Friendster).
4. The strictness of installed antivirus software.(Tsk, there are some antivirus that are really good in catching viruses, in exchange, strict in scanning incoming/outgoing packets, and so delaying some seconds in webpage browsing. Search for yourself on what antivirus it is, hehehe)
5. Hard disk drive clutter condition(cluttered hard disk drive, slower access to files).
6. The thickness of the wall and roof of your house(hehehe, ofcourse, this reduces the wireless signal).
7. How your house is near to the cell tower(oh just look in wikimapia.org or google earth if your house is near in a cell tower).
8. Lastly, if that cell tower is emitting a 3G/HSDPA signal.(oh ask personally the customer care for this, anyway calling them in *888 or 211 is free)
I hope I enlighthened some of you.
For the telecom companies. May I suggest that you include at leat a 3 meter USB extension in your prepaid package? This for the subscribers with desktop PC’s to extend the modem, at least outside the window in order to receive a fresh broadband signal w/o further hindrances such as wall/roof.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
broadband tattoo is great in my area in bicol province, legazpi city, in front our house is a cellcite, the only problem is that is watching megavideo very low buffering, downloading from rapidshare share is to wait to download when u are free user and the download speed 10kbps – 18kbps when using orbit even though the speed of my broadband range 500k – 1.2mbps. but updating windows update, anti virus is superb fast and browsing the net. great!
globe braodband tattoo usb internet is a waste of money buying iy.and a waste of money loading it. braodband nga but the speed is so much slower than the dial-up connection. naisahan na naman tayong globe.
really no use ang globe braodband tattoo usb internet
globe braodband usb tattoo is a waste of money buying it. and waste of money loading it. braodband nga but the speed is much slower than the dial-up connection. really of no use. naisahan na naman tayo ng globe
I’m from Meycauayan City, Bulacan… Globe Broadband tattoo has a full bar signal in my area both WCDMA/HSDPA or GPRS/EDGE, khit nasa loob ako ng bahay nmin full bar ang signal nya talaga, upto 2mbps ang connection ko with HSDPA.. kaya sulit ito if you’re from my area… FYI.
hello,after reading yung mga comments dito nalito tuloy ako kung bibili pa ako ng tattoo…any suggestion?…dito pala ako sa metro manila,sa may malate…ano ba bagay na wireless connection dito???thanks…
Hi all!
All these modems works great.
You have to consult the ISPs tech personnel and ask them if it will work great in your area.
So for some ISP 1 works. For some ISP 2 works.. it depends ;) so peace to everyone!
i bought globe tattoo last sunday, hanggang GPRS lng ang connection dito sa olongapo proper. I am planning try to use external antenna with my tattoo USB modem. Can any one tell me where I can buy this antenna. thanks
Globe Broadband Tattoo Prepaid! ! ! Now you can surf the internet with blazing speed! 24 kilo BITS per second! Throws you back to the era of BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, MIRC AND PONG! Just place the old PLDT black telephone beside your laptop and the image is perfect!
bakit ba ang init ng ulo nyo sa globe?????
mabilis naman ang connection sa akin, wala naman probs sa download, parang naka DSL lang ako, mabilis naman ang download sa limewire at mga torrent files.. para sa akin ok ang globe tatoo.. wag naman kayo manira, baka sa inyo lang mahina connection.
Globe broadband tattoo is a marketing DECEPTION! 2 megabits per second is a figment of their imagination! You can’t finish a decent episode of NCIS! I have just wasted P 1,895 plus P 500 load on this REPACKAGED visibility. I got full bars on HSDPA signal with an actual download speed of only ZERO to 100 kbps! Same speed as MIRC in the late 90’s! I have tested this at various times of the day! location: mandaue city, cebu.
Buying a globe tattoo is like buying a brick and whacking your head with it! But the brick has much better uses. Thank you!
Globe tattoo….wag na kayo bumili…niloloko nila ang mga tao..super bagal ang speed kahit saan ako pumunta…d mkakakonek sa Yahoo messenger at yahoo mail pag Globe gamit ko..wala naman problema sa laptop ko coz im using core 2 duo processor wid 2GB RAM..dapt dito ibaon na lang sa lupa..
baka GPRS lang ang available na connection sa iyo…
hindi pa cguro na upgrade ang cellsite nyo.
@paul
magtatanong lang sana ako bakit 53.6 lang yong speed ng globe tatto dito sa iloilo sa dingle sana mapabilis pa ito kasi ang lapit naman sa amin ang cellsite ng globe………….. thanks
bakit mahirap maka connect ng ONLINE games gamit ang Globe tatoo, mabilis naman ang connection???
I am using Globe Tattoo right now. I just bought it today. Kanina nung nag-try ako sa 1st floor ng bahay nmin, mahina lng, di pa umabot ng 400 kbps. But ngayon lumipat ako d2 sa 2nd floor namin nasa 3.2 mbps n cia. OK na ako dun. What would you expect ba sa prepaid? Yun lang nde ako makapag-login sa YM. Yun pa naman pinaka-importante. Hehehe. Kaya nag-meebo ako. Gamit ko rin firefox for meebo. Kasi kanina hindi mag-open sa IE eh. I choose Globe Tattoo cause I’m also using Globe sim for my cellphone. Mas madali na i-reload.
@Leandro
Your comment absolutely shows your breeding.
Fuck your mom and sis instead =)
GLOBE TATOO idol talaga kita EVER…
dagdag!!!! sa pacita, specifically phase 2 area, it freaking doesnt work, it only runs up the minutes with no damn signal, total waste of effort and money!!! Ive been globe subscriber for almost a year now and this is such a disappointment!!!
improve the network itself and don’t just spice up the freaking ads!!!
come on!! with the economy!!! give us consumers some slack!!!!
BAD TRIP talaga smart d2 sa amin.. Full ang signal pero failed naman parati mag send ng txt msg at distorted pa ang voice call… AMFOFOFOFO

thanks for the reply
Please help me… i’ve just got my globe broadband installed. now, my problem is, i can’t download music using bearshare or limewire. what should i do?
FUCK YOU POOR PEOPLE. Why don’t you sneak through a corporate account and get PLDT WeRoam!
if your area is under the globe HSDPA Areas, theres the possibility the globe tattoo is for you.

Hay ka2dismaya etong Globe Tattoo lagi me network error kabi2li ko lng n2 nsayang lng money ko im in cainta area ala pa din
I just bought Globe Tattoo yesterday and so far okay naman ang speed, sometimes nag s slow down but overall I am satisfied. Yun lang mahirap syang gamitin kapag gagamit ka ng VOIP like Skype, choppy ang linya di kami magka intindihan ng kausap ko. It’s 10pm here, try ko mamayang 11pm kung choppy pa din lines.

I just bought a prepaid usb kit of GLOBE TATTOO (Black Color).. Cool Looking and Cool Name.. Web Browsing is normal when viewing web txt and pictures.. I experienced little hassle.. Download speeds vary from time to time.. Early Morning its blazing fast (realtime video streaming) but when noons comes slows dramatically.. At night speeds seems normal.. sometimes fast.. sometimes slow.. I just called customer service if a had some problems connecting or if its unstable.. GLOBe’s enhancing and upgrading its internet services so its normal to experiences some flaws and conflicts.. OVERALL i think GLOBEs TATTOO is cool and quite reliable when you’re on the go or just need to surf the net somewhere out there.. again depending on your location and double check if your usb is 2.0 LOL.. sya nga pala 5 pesos per 15 minutes lang ika nga ni Tonskie.. mas maliit ang kaltas kaysa smart.. cute di ba mga pareng kosa.. ako pa ang mali??
My Location: ESPANA, Manila
My EMAIL/Friendster: hack_eu****@****.***
i love my Globe tattoo..
swerte2x lang talaga…
kasi naman di naman lahat ng oras merong net connection..
swerte lang kaya ako kasi pag nag online ako ang lakas ng signal…
isa pa… dito sa davao, they sell their kit without restrictions.. mapa desktop or laptop.. di mo na kelangan pa magdala ng laptop sa center.. they just sell it to you…
though nung bumili ako ng tattoo, naubusan ung center, kaya they refer me to a mobile shop that sells original sony ericsson phones and sort of other original branded phones galore chuva, kaya yun, i got a black tattoo… geez.. i would prefer blue, kaso walang available..
ung experience ko with the connection.. ok naman.. nakakapanood naman ako ng movie, nakakapagdownload ako ng movies sa youtube, tsaka mga music videos, yung nga lang… mahal ung per hour… kaya yun.. anyway.. magsikap na lang kayo mag DSL… kung wala talagang dsl line sa lugar niyo, eh di mag tattoo na lang kayo.. 5 pesos per 15 minutes lang… alang lugi… sa smartbro kasi tapyas talaga ang 30 pesos mo, kung di ka makakonek eh di pasensiya.. anyway.. ang saya2x…
babu!

Ang sabi “Sir we are discouraging you to use our
product if you will just use it in desktops computers pang Laptop lng kc 2ng products nmin at
di pa gaanu kalakasan ung signal kya we were just selling it to have mobile devices (laptops)..
Guys? diba parehas lng nmn un?

btw,kung mag SUN ka between 10pm – 830am..
isipin mona lng na DSL yung connection mo..
Can this be “forced-3G” (force the UMTS transmission) like what LG KU380 does? Kung kaya, bibili ako.. :)
basta web browsing,.
movies,music downloads, two thumbs up..
lakas ng signal..
pero kung balak mo gamitin sa MMORPG games..
mas kampante ka kung mag DSL ka na lng..
dont waste your money kung ONLINE GAMING ang forte mo..=)
kung metro manila ka lang…
mag SUN ka na lang..
ayos nman yung signal..d2 sa taguig..
yung sinasabi nila na after ng 1 month,bumabagal daw..
simple lang yun..
magbayad ka ng bill mo ontime..=)
i prefer SUN kung metro ka lang..less traffic..
Which is better? Globe Tatoo or Smart Bro??? Adnito kasi ako sa probinsya specifically Bicol… Kay nagdadalawang isip aq if alin yung mas magandang gamitin…
sa mga nabasa ko ngayon, di ko na talaga alam kung alin ang mas magandang gamitin… SmartBro o Globe Tatoo.., Alin kaya???
Guys cnu taga laspinas d2?.
I am planning to buy Globe tatoo..
Ok nman b ung signal sa Laspinas?.
I’ve tried Smartbro prepaid kit… and very disappointed… i’ve used it in Makati and Antipolo.. crappy talaga.. and to make it worse is its customer service.. filed 2 complains already but still no resolution…
Now i’m reading this Globe Tattoo… more people say its crap… but i guess i have to try it.. ill buy it tonight, hope it doesnt crap out as they said.. i hope my area (makati or antipolo) gets better signal (high upload and dowload rate)… and i hope its always HSDPA…
will post again for the result…
Im also from balanga, bataan ok nman ang signal ng globe.. Kase i used my mobile on internet and i also used it in my pc as cp as a modem, 3g signal is full bar. But Smart 3g signal here is almost dead. Thats why walang nagaavail ng Smart bro postpaid here in our area. Kaya wala kang makikitang mga canopy antenna sa lugar namin kahit isa. hehe lol by the way were near in roman super highway.
Balak ko bumile ng globe tattoo..but the question is… mabiles kaya sha pag ginamet namen sa Balanga, bataan? Do any of you guys know if the signal for Globe there is strong?
I hope somebody can reply back right away bec I am planning to leave for Balanga soon…
Thaaaaanks!
paminsan lang meron signal, minsan wala…
yan talaga pag wireless
BAT yang tATOOO bulok d2 sa olongapo!!! ok pa naman nung kabibili ko pero nung naubos ung free na 100 load wla na.. 2 weeks n na lagi network error ndi man lang mkapag search… syang pinambili ko niloadan ko pa naman ng 300… naubos na wla man lang ako na open na website… gang update nlang ng AVG ang ginagawa ko
grabe.. kala ko mahina ung connection ng globe… ayun… nakakonek din ako sa HSDPA… ang bilis..
para na rin ako nag-internet sa cafe…
Does any one know how to plug this tatoo on the eee pc?
I really don’t understand why neither Globe nor Smart want to help me in connecting their devices on linux.
They simply say that in theory it works but they don’t know how and I have to hire my own developer.
The problem on the eee pc is that it automatically recognises the device as a mass storage. NOt as a modem.
Does any one know how or where I can get the right verion of the software to make the tatoo run on the Asus please?
Thank you.
Matthew
hoo true na pang laptop lang po ang globe tattoo? it will not work daw po sa desktop pc. as per customer service agent ng globe. kung gumana man daw po e mabagal? any feedback? thanks.
Hi Janong,
By the way taga Imus me boundry ng bacoor… kaya tested ko na yan…
Hi Janong.
Walang SBW 3G signal sa cavite area, kasi nagtry na ako ng mobile internet using sun.. hanggang EDGE lng ang signal nya… Sa Bacoor & Imus #1 ang globe kasi HSDPA ang signal nya compare sa smartbri 3g lang… at mabilis tlga ang Globe… Tested ko na yan 101% recommend!
Sana Makatulong me sa yo Janong!
pls do reply. it will be much appreciated. thanks. ;)
can i use globe tattoo in the states?
wish someone could reply..
give me a msg at my mail, iamqelai2yahoo.com or 090646*****. ;0
thanks much. ;)
wala n bang ibang wireless kittttttttttttt
It depends on the area talaga.
Swerte2x lang..
Mahina ang globe dito, madalas smart, pero nang magpakonek ung kapit-bahay namin ng globe dsl, malakas naman daw, same way it worked on tattoo, mejo wala pang tattoo kit na nagagamit dito samin, ang alam ko, isa ko pang kilala ko, ung talagang taga dito din samin, mabilis naman daw, walang problema and by the way, nasa mindanao ako, not in davao city, pero kalapit lang, malakas ang signal ng globe dito, walang congestion, kasi nga kaunti lang ung gumagamit ng globe.
who,s that hot skinhead guy wearing shades who appeared last in the Globe broadband commercial?? i think he’s really hot! LOL!
@Don’t Be Fooled: I dunno, but Globe is more reliable in our place. Like some guys here say, performance depends on location, because these plug-in modems work like mobile phones: it doesn’t work well if it has no signal, and won’t work if there’s no signal! Dito kasi sa amin, mahirap ang SMART signal.
I myself am pleased to know that Globe has a postpaid version of Tattoo. Although I’m connected to SmartBro right now, I feel like getting a Globe Tattoo for myself…because I can’t use a Smart SIM at home because it’s practically a SMART dead spot. I need to go near the windows literally to get just one bar.
guys help naman…im currently subscribed to smartbro..before naman ok ung connection but then after a few months bumagal n xa..and the sppeds are comparable to those of dial-up..im planning to switch isp and as of now globe lng and smart ang available sa area namen…ok b globe tattoo?…
btw..from bay laguna ako…anyone out there from the same place n n-try n globe?…
tnx…

..mas maganda pa rin ung PDLT myDSL..try nyo
Sometimes there are misconceptions sa speed na sinasabi ng Globe sa totoong speed na naeexperience.
Yung up to 2mbps is yung speed ng connection ng usbmodem-to-laptop/pc.
if you would connect it sa usb port makikita mo “connected” then if you’d check it out nakalagay “Speed – 2mbps” pero that just means na ung palitan ng Data Packet from USB to PC/Laptop is 2mbps.
But if you would try using online internet speed checkers like speedtest.net for example, it would give you a ROUGH ESTIMATE of your INTERNET SPEED.
Quick Analogy would be a CANAL and Water Flow.
You may have had a Big and Wide Canal (modem connection) with the size of 2mbps, but the water flowing in it (internet connection) might just be as little as 56kbps.
So kahit naka display pa sa desktop mo na ang speed mo is 2mbps, kung ang sinasabi ng internet speed checker is 56kbps lang, then that just means na 56kbps lang ang internet connection mo na dumadaloy sa 2mbps Canal ng usb modem na gamit mo.
Yan madalas ang parang pang Deceive ng mga marketers ng products like these para masabi lang na mabilis ang internet, but sa totoo connection lang un ng usb-to-laptop/pc but not the connection from internet-to-usb
Globe sucks! super not happoy with the wireless.. nag sky broadband nga ako.. super bilis naman.. sana they come up with a wireless… goodluch sa bibili ng tattoo…
Bought the prepaid kit last night at Trinoma. Tried using it last night.
Speed: 3.6mbps!!!
Signal strength: 3 to 5 bars!
But no! download and upload speeds range from zero to 10kbps! kamusta naman! Location is Marikina. We are very near its cellsite.
Early this morning, I called their customer care hotline twice via landline and twice thru my cellphone but all those were disconnected! Do agents do that deliberately?
Buti na lang prepaid ang binili ko, kung postpaid. patay na!
im using smartbro plan 999..mabilis din naman eh lalo na pag safari browser ang gamitin mo..and its depend on the capabilities of your computer alone…kung mahilig ka sa download lalo na sa mga 700mb pataaz i would suggest pplan 999 its unlimited…kung nakalaptop ka naman u can use globe tatto kz nababagay lang ung laptop pag ginamit ng matagal umiinit yan..same with the globe tatto pag ginamit ng matagal the more load u can consumed..pag desktop ka?/mag unlimited internet ka na lang…but its ur decision guys…gudlak
i’m also planning to get/buy 1, but i’m confused which one to buy… smart bro or globe tattoo?
here in our place smart bro is popular… but since there’s a globe cellsite near our house, napaisip tuloy ako…. grrrr kainis!
Hi RiaLyz!
Mag Globe ka na lng kasi… Sa Paranaque they have a cell site of globe at malapit ka sa Pasay Las Pinas Makati na may kanikaniyang cellsite.. so meaning mas ok yung speed ng Globe… Kasi nga sa smartbro lagi ka madidisconnect!… Try mo din ang SUN ang bilis nya.. kasi may cellsite din dyan ang SUN sa Paranaque kasi konti p lng naman gumagamit ng SUN Mobile iNTERNET….
Regardless if it’s Smart or Globe, if you’re used to fast connections, prepare to be disappointed. Both providers’ services are still in the early stages of technological savyness. You will have inconsistent connections and when you do have connection it is snail pace. Worst the upload part of the connection is comparable to dial speeds if not non existent.
Bottom line is if you can handle frustration pretty well, then get either of the “wireless” services. If not, then stick to the traditional services or just hang out at real wireless hot spots.
..hello..
..plan din namin kasi mag-avail, sun or globe..
..lam ko maganda talaga signal pag manila area pero paano po kaya pag parañaque, any ideas..?
..may pldt dsl naman kami dito sa sampaloc manila kaso para pwede pa rin mag-internet kahit nasa parañaque kami..
i like the style… but i use smartbro broandband.. i have a doubt with that (stick) USB. If there’s a virus, maybe the USB will be ruined?
For me mas maganda ang GLOBE, kasi kahit sa signal mas malakas…Pero totoo yung sinasabi nila na depende ang sa location, but for me Globe is faster than SMARTBRO…
Sample ng mga location na naitatry ko ang signal at pag gamit ko ng mobile internet.
1. Alabang Area Globe – 390kbps to 890kbps, Smartbro – 189kbps to 400kbps
2. Sta. Rosa & Calamba Laguna – Globe – 300kbps to 700kbps, Smart a- 210kbps to 410zkbps
3. Taytay & Antipolo Rizal Area Globe – 170Kbps to 380Kbps, Smart 90Kbps to 200Kbps
4. Tanauan Batangas area Globe 320kbps to 560kbps, Smart – 190kbps to 300kbps
5. Manila area Globe – 500kbps to 900kbps, Smart 400 to 700kbps
6. makati Area Globe 600Kbps to 1.1Mbps, Smart 400kbps to 800kbps
7.Cavite area(Home) Globe 300kbps to 600kbps, Smart 180kbps to 300kbps.
Tapos lagi pa nadidisconnect ang smartbro kaya syang ang load.
1 time naitry ko din ang SUN sa Manila area wow ang bilis nya halos pantay sila ng Globe(malamang dahil konti pa lang ang gumagamit)
Rank of the Mobile internet
1. Globe Visi
2. SUN Broad(for metro manila lang ung bilis nya pero pag sa cavite ka parehas sila ng smartbro)
3. Smartbro
Gudlak sa inyo lalo na sa bibili ng Smartbro!
hay.. hindi ko na alam tuloy kung ano yung bibilhin ko smartbro or globe tattoo..?
ay akala ko naman mas maganda na feedback nitong bago ng globe kesa sa smart, rebrand lang pala parang nagbago din tuloy isip ko hmmm
I agree with you allen..haha
I am about to buy the Globe Broadband Tattoo but with these feedbacks, I am think a couple of times..
I’ve tried both globe visibility and smart bro prepaid. Globe runs pretty well during the wee hours starting 1AM-6AM. But during the day, minsan mabilis, but mostly its crawling at a snail’s pace. Dial-up connection is even faster than globe.
With smartbro, depends on your location nga. But my main complain with it is that mahilig sa drop lines or disconnection. I’ll be surfing for about a minute then suddenly i’ll get disconnected, then I log back again, surf for about a minute or two, then ma disconnect again. So in that 3 mins, they’ve already charged me an hour’s worth of surfing. Mabilis maubos ang prepaid load ko dito.
no comment
Haha parang dinesign ng jolog na graphic artist.
ANO BA YAN!!!
Nasubukan ko na both Globe and Smart mobile internet.. Depende talaga kung san ka. Pero sa mga lugar na mas madalas ko puntahan, SMART ang OK para sakin. Madalas ako makati/pasay/ortigas/cubao.
man those are seriously fug.
I just bought Globe Tattoo. The brand is just the sticker. Anyway I have a separate DSL in my house. I figure those who are complaining are the ones who depend on Visibility as their only source of home internet. But if you have this as a secondary connection, I think it works very well.
wish there was a way to try both of them out(smart bro and globe) without buying both to see which is better in our area the last thing i want is believe what the sales rep says
For everybody’s information. The speed depends on your location. You can say that smart bro will work better in your place but in the other place globe tattoo works better. 3G Network is a breathing network. So meaning to say the signal is moving and the speeds also depending on how many users in the area. Final words to say… Globe Tattoo is better than smartbro because GLobe had more cell sites than Smart.
Huawei is still the manufacturer of Globe Tattoo as well as the Sun Broadband.

I’ve got the original Globe Visibility unlimited, and it’s been inconsistent. There was a time I could get 1.3 mbps, but that time is gone. I get less than half that lately, and it’s just not reliable. 2 mbps upgrade? I don’t see it.
Compared to Smart prepaid, Smart is also not great, but it’s been more reliable than Globe when I’ve tested it. A lot could depend on your location, though, so if you have the ability to test both, that’s probably best to check for yourself.
Is it practical to get one of these? I had a Globe Wireless Broadband at home, and the connection is very unstable. Its includes a wireless router but I am instructed not to move it or else my signal will be lost.
“The USB also comes with a built-in expansion slot where users can insert their own microSD card for additional file storage”
should’ve included a 2GB or 4GB microSD card in it.
abe could you show us a tutorial on how to share internet connection on this device on two to three PC’s or devices
ie..
Globe Tatoo with multiple inet connections to:
-Laptop 1,
-N82
-Desktop 1
-PSP
is that possible?..
I heard that this service is very slow. I think the smart version is better.
I have Globe Visibility but its prepaid, the connection is not that great and the speed sucks. I recommend Sun Broadband Wirless, sometimes I get a 2.2mbps during midnights. You can read my review at this link: http://aloofkid.wordpress.com/2009/02/26/sun-broadband-wireless-review/
new name same sucky service.
I don’t know why Globe is lagging behind Sun. Di ba dapat ang order ay Smart, Globe at kulelat ang Sun?
They may think that people are d*mb enough to see the signs. One prominent symptoms of system downgrade is their inability to offer unlimited access.
@yuga,
they still have their unlimited plans, though you need to apply it as corporate account… *coughs*
Ahh yes, it’s their consumer grade unlimited plan that was discontinued — it’s because users are abusing the service, they say.
It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing! Globe is only good for their mobile phone services -__-; (and only because they were first).. They just want your money for this one, expect a lot of trouble calls once you start using this..
Kill their broadband please// it’s cr*p. Agree?
can i use other networks sim like smart?
abe, is there an unlimited plan that they’re offering? id like to try globe’s “tattoo” instead of sun cellular’s broadband.
Nope, they’ve discontinued their unlimited plans. No idea when and if they will bring it back though I’m always egging them to.
Nice, that is really what I needed right now.
I like its new price. I got Globe 3G connection in my area, I like SmartBro but the connection in our area is still GPRS. Im really looking forward for this move from Globe. Case Closed! :D
hehehe…
ive never tried one of these things before, but Im saving up just to try this. Hope that it has a superb connection :D
Just another rebranding and a minor upgrade, compared to what Smart has been doing.
I’m not sure if the designs are cool, but they’re definitely a fresh look in the market.
I don’t believe in the network upgrade though.
Poster above is ryt… If they’re upgrading, SMART is upgrading even more…
Yup, looks like a re-brand although the 2Mbps is a mcuh welcome upgrade.
I heard from a friend working in Globe’s mktg dept that this is just pure rebrand, since they’re desperately trying to get subscribers despite their weak network.
SMART has better network coverage, IMHO. PLDT is even investing in it even more this year.. You know now which side to stay on.
i just bought the other kit a week ago… wait a minute CALLS o.O on the modem?
Are their firmware upgrades for this modem: https://www.yugatech.com/blog/telecoms/globe-visibility-prepaid-now-at-php1895/ to allow calls?
I know we can simply switch the sim to a phone and instant calls, but my point is to make calls using the modem on your laptop.
Yay!!! I hope this would work here in my area! By the way, Abe, I am getting a Globe Broadband soon… :) Tried Smart twice here but they said my area is DEAD! No signal at all. :( Wish me luck!
Is it really improved or they just re-branded the product?
Who is the manufacturer of their new data card? I hope it is still Huawei. I do not like the ZTE brand. Huawei rules!
