Globe plans to offer tiered pricing, top ups amid FUP

Globe Telecom, in a response to the NTC last week, has revealed that they are planning to offer tiered pricing to their data plans in order to address the concerns regarding data caps imposed in recent weeks.

In a report by PhilStar, Globe has responded to the NTC regarding the strict enforcement of their Fair Use Policy and revealed plans to offer subscribers several options to increase their data allocation.

This confirms the previous information we gathered from a source inside Globe that some sort of bucket pricing will be offered soon. Once it is implemented, subscribers will be able to top up and increase their daily limit of 1GB to any allocation.

This direction is similar to the existing PowerSurf promo that Globe already has in place. The difference is that the top up is above the Php999 monthly unlimited internet of existing subscribers.

We still don’t have any exact information on the fees for the top up but we imagine it to be something like this:

Current Plan: Php999 unli data/internet @ 1GB daily limit

Top Up options:

Add Php299/month for additional 1GB/day limit (2GB daily total limit)
Add Php499/month for additional 3GB/day limit (4GB daily total limit)
Add Php999/month for additional 9GB/day limit (10GB daily total limit)

These are just examples but we will update you once the actual figures arrive.

Three weeks ago, Globe started enforcing their 4-year old FUP which sparked a lot of outrage from its subscribers.

Around 30,000 to 60,000 or 3% of Globe’s close to 2 million subscribers are affected by their FUP based on the 1GB/day or 3GB per month limit.

  1. >Add Php29/month
    >Add Php499/month
    I believe the first one is a typo. 29/month is way too cheap.

    • P299 yan malamang..

  2. but for 999monthly lugi masyado ang mga user napaka liit ng bandwith na binibigay nila sana babaan nila ang mothly payment BS!

      These are just examples but we will update you once the actual figures arrive.

    • Oo nga. Tska sa nangyayari ngayon baka magsi-talunan sila sa dsl so yung mga dsl users naman kagaya ko ang maaapektohan.

    • In fairness, sulit kung ganito ang magiging pricing ng Globe.

      Imagine, for only P1,498 (999+499) you get around 120GB allocation a month. To top it off, you get to connect to LTE/HSPA+ sites which gives you burst speeds of 20+MBPS. Sobrang sulit compared sa ibang home broadband offers.

    • @suncell subscriber – 7GB lang ang allocation mo per month based on your example.

  3. The FUP is already 4 years old?

  4. Bitch please, common sa mga LTE capable phone is non expandable, nag rerely sa mga cloud storage,
    3 GB is not enough, 4 GB is not enough. Not mentioning na weekly nag uupdate ng apps, na kelangan din namin mag install ng apps

    na kelangan din namin i tether ung koneksyon para as iba naming devices.

    Na ang uploading namin ng mga pictures, videos, files as cloud para maccess namin kung kelangan ay nag co-consume din ng bandwidth

    bakit ba pabalik ang teknolohiya ng Globe
    Di naman Long Term Evolution ung binebenta nila
    Long Term Edge (2G)

    The heck, parang sa lan lang yan na may capacity ng 5 users na tag 1-1 mb, pag na doble na ang capacity babagal n ang koneksyon. 5mbps / 10 = 0.5 mbs so ang ginagawa ng globe is sineset sa low priority ung kumakain ng speed.
    Ganinto ung way nila para mapagtakpan na hindi nila kayang suportahan ung mga subscriber nila sa FUP na yan.

    Instead na umakay pa ng umakay ng subscriber bakit hindi nyu i-improve ung network nyu na kayang humandle ng maraming users

    Enough with your greed.

    Bitch Please

    • Kawawa ka naman mukha kang wala DSL sa bahay nyo kung maginarte ka.

      Malamang isa ka sa mga nagyayabang sa kalye na nagFB at YouTube sa CP nya habang nasa labas.Ganyan ganyan mga hinoholdap eh.

    • “na kelangan din namin i tether ung koneksyon para as iba naming devices.”—-

      ayan, kaya ganyan ginawa ng globe sa atin, tulad ng mga abusadong kagaya mo gago!

    • dun sa dalawang nagcomment,

      would it matter kung sa CP ka gumamit ng internet? e ano naman kung walang dsl sa bahay? kahit 10 devices pa ang gamitin….bottom line, they were offered “unlimited data”….a year ago, nung nag renew ako ng contract, they were offering the unlimited data saying kahit mag youtube ka buong araw, download stuff sa internet, mag connect ng kahit ilang devices, as long as nasa 4G/LTE area ako I will get 4G/LTE speed….

    • BitchMoMukhaMo at abdulJakulSalsalani, katangahan niyo ding dalawa eh noh?

      ‘di niyo ba naisip na hindi lahat ng lugar ay abot o may DSL infrastructure?

      at ang tethering, Globe mismo ang nagsabi na pwedeng gawin yun ng mga subscribers..

      sa susunod matutuno muna mag-isip ah? bago niyo i-display yang katangahan niyo.

  5. sabi na nga ba e..tang na tlaga..i already expected na magkakaroon ng ganito..lang kwenta!

  6. Let the ripping-off commence!

    Ahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!

  7. Kulang pa sa akin yon 9gb mahilig pa naman ako magtorrent at magdownload everyday tapos ka skype pa namin utol ko nasa canada, us at singapore. Tapos naggagames pa ako. Hindi sila fair sa totoo lang dapat mga 20gb per day

    • Last time I heard, piracy wasn’t considered legal. Masyado na kayong nasanay sa pag gawa ng mga illegal na bagay katulad ng pag torrent. 9GB is too much bandwidth for a whole month unless you listen to music 24/7 using youtube, instead of actual legit digital copies of the songs.

    • @kamote

      nag evolve na po tayo (the way we consume media thru the internet)

      GB is too much bandwidth for a whole month??? The fukk, we ain’t in the late 90’s anymore kid lolmao

    • @abu
      Wag ka kasing laging namimirata at youporn. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

    • Yan lang naiisip mong gumagamit ng malaking data? Huwag kang assuming.

    • May point si kamote na illegal ang piracy, pero sabihin natin na may netflix na dito sa pinas (or kung merong ibang video streaming service)… nasa atleast 2GB per hour and HD movies

      most cloud storage offer 10GB to 50GB

      There are games for phones that are more than 1GB (GTA as an example), even their updates are more than 1GB

      do not assume that all of us only need a few gigabytes of data per month… those 97% of the subscribers? probably isn’t really taking advantage of the full potential of the internet. Don’t let the rest of us suffer slow technological progress just because the “majority” are content on what they have right now.

    • Please note na hindi dahil sa thru P2P mo na-dload and isang file or batch of files ay may na-break na agad na copyright. In fact, lots of softwares out there are free to be redistributed.

  8. what happens after 3Gb of data has been used before the month ends? Antayin matapos ang buwan bago ako makaka.internet?

    • They’re gonna provide you 2G speed past your limit which sucks

  9. Well if its 1gb per day and that is 30gb per month right for P999. Relative sa offerings ng ibangs bansa pede na yan.

    Pero please tanggalin yung unlimited.

    • i don’t think 3GB is enough for an average guy who uses internet in a daily basis, i work for AT&T here in US and their basic plan for mobile internet is 45 bucks with 150GB data cap for a month with an additional payment of $10 for every 50GB excess usage a customer has, LTE connection is waaay better here than what your local providers offer. So f*** Globe!and f*** Smart!!

  10. Considerings mas marami ang subscribers ng smart/sun at obviously mas maraming nagnenet dun eh at may FUP din sila, kaya para rin nila yung bandwidth.

    Globe ang yabang pa nila naiimprove daw nila yung reception nila eh ganito din yung katapat. WOW “system improvements.”

    3% lamang nga yung malakas magnet sa globe tapos pinatulan pa nila. Kalokohan.

    Ewan ko diyan pero big turnoff yung globe kahit dun sa mga hindi malakas magmobile net.
