While we were on the topic of broadband, I asked more about Globe’s Speak and Surf and found out some really juicy details about their new product. I believe this was also mentioned during our last meet-up when the Globe Team did their presentation.

• Out of the box solution for broadband internet and landline telephone.
• Use the wireless internet and the phone at the same time.
• Connects to Globe cellsites using a wireless modem/router via CDMA technology.
• Up to 256Kbps connection speed.
• Costs Php995 per month including the phone line.
• Free text messenging within the network (500 SMS per month unlimited for the first 3 months)

I was told that this hasn’t been rolled out commercially but they’ve been doing rounds door-to-door. We should be seeing print ads and TV commercials by October. Hopefully, this would answer the growing complaints for a Smart Bro alternative.
