Got home this evening to find pamphlets at my doorstep from Globe. Apparently they are now offering broadband connections to residential areas with speeds of up to 2Mbps. Sweet.
Here are the DSL rates and prices:
*GenTxt Express Unlimited
Monthly Fee: Php995
DSL Speed: 384kbps
Express Unlimited
Monthly Fee: Php1,495 (promo price of Php995 just now)
DSL Speed: 384kbps
Explore Silver
Monthly Fee: Php1,995
DSL Speed: 768kbps
Explore Gold
Monthly Fee: Php2,995
DSL Speed: 2Mbps
* I think the GenTxt plan is for students. Not sure about it but looks very similar to the PLDT DSL student rate before (Plan 998 or something). And read this — a Globelines landline subscription is NOT a prerequisite to Globelines broadband.
The 2Mbps under Explore Gold plan did took most of my attention. Really, really nice to have something like that at home all by myself. And to think that only last year, I was paying GreenDot Php2,750 for a mere 256kbps connection.
anu nga ba yung hotline ng globelines ang bagal tlga ng connection… mag delete ka lng nga message abutin ka ng isang oras…huh
is globelines any good for an internet cafe connection?
Not to brag or anything but here’s my speed as of like 5 minutes ago. I have a 20/2 connection with turbo boost.

You can find the test at http://www.ispgeeks.com just click on the diagnostics tools tab and you will see this test called TCP Speed Test and several others including one thats good for voip or ventrillo. After you run your TCP test check the Route Performance and see where the bottleneck is. I think you can even have the results emailed to your ISP.
fucking globe broadband!! always disconnect near pasig.. kung pwede lang magpalit, tang inang kontrata yan…
To whom it may concern
hello globelines guys,
i wndr if it is usual practice with your customer service to be called off, after accepting/recieving complete application documents/requirment for a certain package (landline/broadbnd connection) and it was establish that the said package is available upon receipt of the application documents, your customer service attendant told me that after a few days it will be installed but i sugeested that maybe we could set a certain date to give the installer more than enough time for my schedule will be served, i gave them more than the 3-day schedule, so thats it, we both agreed the schedule. For your guidance and information i pulled out my pending application with the bayantel thinking that we were already set for installation, but unfortunately a couple of days i was adv. that the package that i need (landline/internet connection)can be installed less the landline. i ask her why that package is no longer available in fact the date for installation has been set/approved already. what in heaven’s name you guys did this to me. my place has been set for opening. by the way i am an airline ticket agent and that package is my basic requirment for me to operate the business… NABIBITIN AKO GUYS!!! kindly do something with it nakaka inis talaga.. Please contact your customer incharge and call her attention MS. KATRINA GULA of Globelines, Burgos St., Tacloban City, Leyte
thank you for your time
hahaha, bukas palang iinstall yung aken, di ko pa nattry, tignan nalang naten kung anong mangyare, goodluck saken..ahaha,, internet+landline 1mbps, 1,295. kung may problema, makakarating to sa taas,, dami ko kakilala sa innove.
hello. I can’t connect to the internet so I called globelines. However, it only rings 2 times then no ringtone anymore. What happened?
I just have my Globe Broadband installed last Saturday and i intentionally chooses the 384 kbps to test first the infamous Globe service and to my amusement the speed is ok but i will wait for 1 month before upgrading it to 1 mbps. Hopefully it continues to deliver what it promises… hopefully.
please help me change my password in grand chase,give me the instructions
GUSTO KONG MAGLARO NG FLYFF

HINDI MAKAPAGLARO..
BWISIT ANG GLOBE NA YAN BWISIT.
grabe ung globe kasi pinili namin ung 1300 pesos. tapos pagkatapos ng mga ilang araw bumagal ng bumagal sa mga 10 PM lang mabilis tapos wala pa kaming isang buwan sa globe abay bigla na lang silang nagbigay ng bill tapos ung babayaran namin hindi 1,300 kundi 1,700 anu ba naman itong globe dadagdagan nila ung bill tapos madaming errors tapos hindi umaabot ng 1 Mbps almost mga 100-250 kbps nalang tapos bagal pa kainis naglalaro ako ng online billiards tapos puro server broken!! hay dapat pala hindi kami lumipat sa globe dapat sa smartbro pa rin kami
im paying P1,995 for my globe internet but i don’t get my money’s worth. the connection is so slow that it becomes perennial. total internet disconnection could also last for days in a month and globe is not even contrite about the inconvenience it caused, how about rebates?
also, i dont think the 171 hotline is of any help, better run to the nearest internet cafe and vent your anger elsewhere.
my 1 mbps globe broadband

puro lang kayo promo but can’t deliver good service, maganda lang kayo sa commercial, mga bwisit kayo!
panget ang service ng globe.. grabe magooffer cla ng kunwareng 1-3 mbps pero malalaman mo nalang madalas na down ang internet connection mo. tulad nitong skn 1mbps pero feel ko parang 256kBps na smart bro gamit ko. ang download speed nya ndi stable madalas 26kBps.

This post was old. I noticed there was a huge price difference of Globelines broadband offering during 2005 and now 2011. I am currently a subscriber of landline dsl bundle plan 1295 and its already 1Mbps unlike on 2005 where the plan 1995 only has 786Kbps.
MAG 1 1 MONTH NA PO WLA PARIN UNG DIAL TONE NAMIN!!!!
