Had a talk over the phone with one of Wi-Tribe’s representatives last Saturday and we discussed about the 3GB monthly bandwidth allocation which we reported last month.
They said that they’ve considered the merits and clarified a number of issues, including that 1am to 7am open window (which is actually still logged by at just 25% of actual usage, though I am told it’s not final/implemented yet).
Moreover, starting Monday (yesterday), they’ve already increased the monthly allocation to 6GB. However, once that allocation is used up, the accounts will still work but the speed will be adjusted down. Existing subscribers should have received notice about this by now. That allocation can/will still be adjusted in the future depending on the performance of the network and the usage of the subscribers.
They’ve added that since Wi-Tribe is still in its “soft launch” stage, they’re still figuring out a better way to provide a more, should I say, equitable and socialized internet service.
So,you guys think 6GB is enough?

Im new user of Wi-Tribe, kaka signed ko pa lang ng contract last June 30, sa ngayon di pa naman ako nagkakaproblem sa kanilang Connection maliban sa wala pa sa 1mbps ang speed ng kanilang internet connection, pumapalo lamang sa .72kbps – .82kbps yung connection ko & take note 1 day ko pa lang to nagagamit naka consume na agad ako ng .35gb at meron na lang akong natitirang 5.65gb na uubusin para sa buwan na ito ayun sa kanilang site, eh di naman ako nagdodownload ng kahit na anong files, internet surfing at online games lang gawa ko, ang tanong ilang GB ba ang nako consume per hour pag surfing (such as You Tube, Email, Research} & Online Games…..
Maraming Salamat

It depends on what websites you go to. Websites with lots of pictures and flash animation of course use up a lot of bandwidth. Not sure if even uploads are included in the count but even if uploads are excluded, it adds up REALLY REALLY
I suggest you download a program like netpersec (only 112kb in size)
http://download.cnet.com/NetPerSec/3000-18512_4-15690.html
or
http://www.filestube.com/d1606afbf404de3503ea,g/NetPerSec.html
this program has a resettable counter so you can count how many bytes you have downloaded and uploaded.
Try turning off all images and adding a popup and ad blocker to your browser to minimize usage of your cap.
Good luck nalang if your online game needs to download an update.
And dot watch youtube because wi-tribe may consider that or any other heavy use of bandwidth as an “abuse” of its service
BTW, congratulations, you’ve just been PWNED by wi-tribe.
Hi Guys,
Is all the post here really that bad, cause I’ve been planning on getting a subscription in Wi-Tribe, only thing is I haven’t been able to have free time to visit the booth near my location, I’ve read about the caps and everything.
Wi-Bro(s)
SUN & GLOBE for almost a year
according to the dialer(or whatever you call it) i’m averaging
50mb (SUN), 100mb (GLOBE) of Download
2mb (SUN), 4mb (GLOBE) of Upload
daily and
700mb (SUN), 1.4gb (GLOBE) of Download
190mb (SUN), 380mb (GLOBE) of Upload
monthly
and practically using both Wi-Bro 24/7 (except for rainy days because the signal becomes weak) for Torrent Downloads. but my Vista is reporting a link Speed of 2mbps (SUN) and 7mbps (GLOBE), can these information be accurate or do I need another App to check this stats.
and is Wi-Tribe giving a cap of 6gb
please advise.
thanks
@DILL
if i were you i wud read and research feedbacks of existing wi-tribe users.
I HAVE BEEN USING WITRIBE SINCE MID APRIL AND IT’S GIVEN ME A LOT OF HEADACHES.

yes you do. that 2mbps and 7mbps is like saying you have a 2 inch or 7 inch pipe from NAWASA. It only can tell you the max download speed in ideal conditions. To know the actual download speed, analogous to the actual water flow rate, try installing the program I posted in my post above yours and try downloading a big file using a download accelerator
nakatatlong broadband na ko

We just got Wi-tribe yesterday. I was excited since we didn’t have internet connection for the past few months since we moved.
We’re using SmartBro before however; since installation is currently on hold in our location, we tried Wi-tribe.
Believe me, Smartbro is much better than this one. It’s really slow (like dial-up). I’m thinking this is unfair. You pay the same amount, but slower connection.
huh! now I have to stay with this thing for the next 2 years since it’s 24 months commitment.
wi-tribe basically sucks and more over is there sales personnel which from my experience doesn’t even know what they’re selling. Sad thing is I got SCAMMED* by them and availed of there crappy service because their sales person insisted that the 6GB is bandwidth and not limiter cap, which I found out was a complete LIE.
Things that I found bad these past 5 days:
- connection / handshakes with SSL servers are terrible I couldn’t connect to my VPN
- 6GB cap // for me I can consume in less than 1 day with my work
- NOT FOR WORK / REMOTE VIDEO + VOICE CONFERENCE SUPER DELAY parang dial-up
- BAD P2P connection / handshakes
- NOT FOR GAMING terrible PING to BATTLE.NET and EA servers
- NOT FOR MOVIE DOWNLOADERS
- NOT FOR STREAMING VIEWERS / not even youtube functions well
- BAD PING / TOO MANY HOPS
Malapit na akong mag 6GB 5 days palang, bago mag 6th day cap na ako. WORK KO PALANG ubos na 6GB wala pang personal leisure yon. F**A TALAGA malalaslas ko yung salesman nila, kung
And also did call them up using cellphone which evidently took and cost more and which I didn’t get any useful response.
And yes will also file a complaint with DTI regarding there UNJUST PRACTICES.
Problem is walang LAW ang pinas laban sa mga tulad nila kasi mas inutil mga nasa gobyerno tulad ng presidente nating walang batas na nagawa. Philippines WTF talaga !!!
If any of you guys know who’s the president of this company am going to file a presidential escalation regarding this outrage + sama ko complaints ng iba naperwisyong subscribers at file ko rin sa DTI.
And if I remember wala sa contract yung CAP na yun, ang nandoon lang ay FAIR PRACTICE crap. Walang sa BLACK AND WHITE YUNG CAP.
WTF !!!
hayop demonyo talaga tong wi-tribe na to… kahit google hindi ko na mapasok… ang lupit nyo, yung perang pinang kuha ko nang service na to ehhh inutang ko lang tapos ganito pala ang service… may araw din kayo…!!!
8.3 KB/sec yan na ang pinakamataas na rate ng download q ..
pde ba tong ibalik sa wi-tribe at ipawalang bisa ang contract?
sakin laging ngdidisconect na ung modem ko kada 5 minutes magdidisconnect tapus hirap na sa pag connect uli.
*inaabot ako ng 30 minutes pra sa pag connect tpus wla nanaman.d 2loy ako makagawa ng project q.ginawa ko ngrent nalang sa compshop.
*ng txt ako sa agent nila di na ngrereply.
*ng email din ako sa cutomer service nila sabi
lang tatry daw nilang ibalik yung 1mbps na speed next month. ibabalik? e di ko na nga nagamit ung 6gb ko dahil laging nagdidisconnect.sayang lang ung 6gb ko.
ng email uli ako sabi mag MOVE MORE nlang daw ako kung gus2 kong bumilis ung speed ko.tae di muna nga nagamit ung 6gb tpus magmomove more pa anu to nakawan ng ALLOWANCE?
*laging delay pa ung bill nila.
*kung ayaw nyo sumakit ulo nyo wag na kayung mgsubscribe sa wi-tribe 100% sasakit ulo nyo d2.
Mas gusto ko pang ng 512kbps na internet o burstable speed tulad ng sun.atleast un tumutulak at wlang sakit ng ulo.
kesa sa wi-tribe na pababa ng pababa ang speed at pag ginamit mupa ng ginamit mawawalan ka na ng connection.
naranasan ko to super putol putol ng connection ko ambagal pa.gus2ng guto ko ng ipacut to kyya lng daw may babayaran pa.

I have tried globe, smart share it and the regular antenna, suncell, witribe and pldt.
PLTD stands out amongst these companies. We have two PLDT line at home upto two MBPS. It is consistent in every way. I stop paying for suncell and smart shareit last year and signed with witribe. After a month my girlfriend signed up for another witribe since mine has been consistent (BF paranaque). Wherever I go, my witribe goes with me since I make a living using the internet (vinrisshop.com). Me, my girlfriend and family are enjoying PLDT the most when at home and WiTribe with out a doubt.
wi-tribe service really sucks… I just upgraded my plan to 1998, bcoz their website stated this: Unlimited surfing & browsing. Consistent speeds of up to 2mbps. Get more out of your MOVE UP plans via our product-enhancing feature called MOVE MORE.
Product Features
* Unlimited surfing and browsing
* Consistent speeds of up to 2mbps on your first 12gb usage per month
* Maintain your plan’s speed even when your 12gb monthly usage allowance runs out with MOVE MORE Bandwidth on Demand.
* 4G broadband technology
* 24/7 access to 31-tribe
* Personalized Sales Agent Service
* Free wi-tribe BOOM 4G Broadband Modem with your MOVE UP Plan with a 24 month subscription period (see other options below).
But fact is, the download speed and upload speed is too slow. I am using magicjack, and it can’t even make the connection so I can call. Wi-tribe is such a bully company… they are giving wrong advertisement to persuave customers to get the very lousy service. consistent and unlimited internet surfing as said in their advertisement on their page, but once you sign up to the 1998 plan there’s still a capping and it sucks. They just do the capping so customers will buy more bandwidth, even if we haven’t really consume the 12gb. why don’t they just put to public how we could find out how much bandwidth customers have consumed. I really really hope there will be a law to be implemented that companies who gave wrong advertisement on their service we could sue them. sad to say, this is not U.S kasi kung sa u.s lang yan, dami nang kasong hinaharap yang witribe na yan!!!
i signed up with witribe because all the globe lines ran out at my condo. i highly DO NOT recommend them because its impossible to download anything and streaming a simple youtube music video will take half an hour to stream. BEWARE OF WITRIBE!
Fuck u wi tribe di ako makapaglaro ng AQWorlds Tang ina nyo MAmatay na kau
