New Globe Tattoo Superstick goes up to 21Mbps

Hi guys! globe tattoo prepaid user here! dati, naka wimax kami. GRABEEEE! yun yung worst connection na naexperience namin. 1st minute-connected, 2nd to 10th minute-disconnected, tapos connected ulit. ganun ang drama.. But then, yung globe agent binigyan kami ng tip nung nag sign in kami. kapag daw hindi okay ang service, wag na lang namin bayaran, so ganun naman ginawa namin. IN SHORT, banned na yung name na ginamit namin sa globe. [hehehe! pero atleast di kami naglabas ni singko, for 3 useless months]

then, right now, globe tattoo stick na yung gamit namin. yeah, hindi naman sinabing 7.2mbps exactly ang speed. it says UP TO 7.2mbps. ang nakakainis lang talaga is yung 800mb cap kaya puro surfing lang magagawa mo. pero kung gusto niyo magdownload or manood ng video, simulan niyo around 10pm, kasi by 12mn, narereset naman yun.. yun din ginagawa ko. hehe! :D

i have this plan.. am i going to receive a billing from globe if my plan ganna end for the month or ill be the one to pay for the plan in any billing station before the plan ends for the month? help please..

may i ask? ahm my old friend got one of the superstick 4g.. ehm i believe its called “tatoo superstick mobile-wifi” – one of the picture shown above. so ah this kind of plan, is it totally unlimited? coz i remember he said ” one of the staffs told him that it was “1gb limit data consumption evry 24hours and when it reaches the limit the connection will be terminated for about 24hours” but when he got home and the postpaid sim was activated and he tested it, he actually exceeded upto 32gig data usage. the questions are, is it unlimited and the globe center staff should be called stupid? and another question is.. could it be possible that the exceeding usage would be charged upon billing or not because it is unlimited?

Just want to ask again if this device has a bandwidth cap everyday? if it is available would somebody verify this and what time does it usually refreshes?

I subscribed to globe tattoo superstick (pocket wifi). Ang promised speed if I am not mistaken is 7mbps but I am getting 1mbps or less for download and 0.21 to 0.35 max upload. This speed is the same saan man ako located — Makati, Eastwood or D Fort. Globe CS advised me to bring my unit (ZTE) for repair after several times of reporting the speed I was getting (wla daw kc problem ang globe, so it must be the unit daw). So I brought it to them for repair, and after almost two months I got it back, hooray! (If di pa ako nagalit di ko pa makukuha!) Sadly, the speed is the same. Take note I am paying Php 1,299 monthly subscription — do you guys know if there’s a way I can get the real value of my money? M really frustrated with globe, but I think I have to stick with them for 24 months (it’s in the contract) and it’s only my 5th month. :( (Sigh)

Fools..if you are reading Globe’s conditions about their product they never said it would give 7.2 mbps or 21 mbps..it says UP TO..so read first before you accuse them of False Advertising.Plus there’s a lot of reason why it would not give that speed that you want..think about it..the number of users, your location..gees…consider that first..you took a chance of buying their product.. that’s all there is to it.

Hi there, I’m really interested in this product specially in the 21 mbps promised speed. I am planning to change my current internet connection because it is so slow (0.2mbps PLDT Php990). But my mother subscribed to the PLDT PLUS Php250, and the contract will end on January 7, 2013. I really want to terminate our contract but because of the another Php250 contract we cannot terminate, we can only terminate the DSL connection and we will still be paying Php850 monthly. If we will terminate all our contract we will be paying Php2500 for the Php250 contract plus our current charge Php1249, all in all Php3749. I’m choosing between the Globe Tattoo Superstick 21mbps (Php1349) or the Globe DSL 2mbps with free landline(Php1299). I just want to know how fast is the speed you are getting so that I could choose between the two. I am living in Caloocan, Grace Park and I’ve heard that there are active 4G sites here. Thanks Guys.

This is a lie. They will never able to provide speed as they said. In my area @ Gil Puyat, the speed when speed test is always around 7MBPS, but the actual speed of surfing is < 500kbps.

Not to mention when surfing, the website always not able to connect and I have to keep refresh until it can load.

Now I am using wimax and i kept on getting Disconnect status in my Wimax router. Speed never surpass 300kbps.

I am not a filipino, I dont know how they do bussiness here in the Philippines but this is a scam and it's unacceptable. We need to stand up and sue these company. People have consumer rights. Know your rights and sue them.

My capped ba eto?

i just subscribed to plan 1299 mifi 21mbps…max i got was 750 kBps dl rate with torrent….i live in a condo 14th floor malate area…speedtest tests show 2 to 4 mbps dl rate

well sa prepaid lng po ang may capping.pag postpaid po ala.kaya napilitan kng kumuha ng line kc lugi ka pag magpa supersurf ka 4 example supersurf50 eh til 800 mb lng dapat m consume.kht d pa expire unli m pero lampas ka na 800mb d m na magamit unli m

So, Nobody knows if this plan has a download capping of 800 mb?

Alam nyo po,may mga kilala me sa tondo normal sa kanila ang 7mbps speed sa superstick 1299 7mbps plan. May 4g na kasi sa kanila kaiinggit. Nung nakita ko na may bago plans ang globe na mas mura sa superstick 1299 ko, pinaterminate ko yung plan ko. Magbabayad me pre-term n 4995 para sa device plus 550. Binenta ko ng 5,700 yung superstick mf60 ko para maging pambayad sa pre-term, kumita pa ko. Plus nag apply ako bagong plan na 999 plus 150 para maging superstick,although ibang model na yung device sa mga bagong plan nila, magiging huawei e586es-2 na ito worth 3,600 (mas mura sa 4995 na zte mf60). Wala nadin me 200 free text monthly which is ok lang. For the same speed na 7mbps nakatipid pa ako ng 150 every month sa bamong plan ko compare sa 1299. Ginawa ko ito kasi sabi sa hotline at sa mga globe stores na wala changes or free upgrade sa mga old subscribers kahit lumalabas na lugi sila dahil sa mga bagong plan na ito. Siguro dahil mas mura nga yung device at wala na free text. Sensya na po sa mahabang post.

Yeah, I will agree to all of you. You know if we are very about this, we can file them a case of “False Advertisement”. DTI and NTC should really look at these and do not just look at the taxes they are paying, maybe they are not paying the exact taxes that should pay. These government agency should take action on the consumer welfare and do not give those company license to rob.
I also got the Tattoo Superstick (up to 5mbps) and I am paying 1299/mo. and I barely got 1mbps. Even when Im on HSDPA, I barely got a good speed. “Nasa huli talaga pagsisi.” I am expecting to get a decent speed for that price and yet I was locked for this s**t for 2yrs. :(
So I want to warn those who are tempted to this advertisement.

What good is 60% of “up to” speed if my bandwith is capped at 800MB?

NEC should look into this. TelCos always advertise optimistic speeds but more often than not, these are unachievable. True that it is possible, however, current infrastructure could not support such speeds.

I am a SmartBro subscriber, and I couldn’t even experience half of the advertised speed of 2MBps.

Neil is right why pay for a plan or a higher plan if you wont get the maximum speed and why do they always restrict the maximum speed of the broadband. What they need to do in order to have a better sales of their unit is to improve their network and put up some more signal sites in the country.

I wonder if you’ll even get a decent 10Mbps speed there. And their pricing and plans are fail!!! Why pay add-ons for additional speeds when Globe just can give us the ability to use their HSPA+ network up to 21Mbps and let customers choose a data plan in GBs?? Say 10GB for P2,000? And an overage charge of P500 per 1GB. Check these! http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/specials/dataplans_popup.html

Does this have a daily download cap? Can anyone confirm?
