Last May, Globe Telecom sent us a formal statement regarding the peer-2-peer bandwidth capping on their network — claiming they’re not doing any bandwidth capping. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have such provisions in the subscriber contracts, a copy of which is posted below:
A friend who just switch from PLDT myDSL to Globe Broadband showed me a copy of his Service Order Agreement.
Item #5 of the agreement specifies bandwidth allowances for various service plans, including a 20% cap of maximum subscribed speed (i.e, if you are on Plan 1Mbps, P2P download is capped at 200Kbps).
Likewise, there’s provision for monthly total volume of downloads depending on subscribed packages:
Plan 384Kbps : 15GB per month
Plan 512Kbps : 20GB per month
Plan 1.0Mbps : 25GB per month
Plan 1.5Mbps : 30GB per month
Plan 2.0Mbps : 35GB per month
Even if you’re not into torrent downloads, the 0.5GB allowance for the lowest plan can be easily used up just by watching YouTube videos. I guess Globe also needs to provide its subscribers some sort of a bandwidth meter so they can check their running allowance.
Anyone out there experienced being disconnected (or capped) Â for using up their monthly allocation?
Antayin na lang natin ung 3rd player. Pareho lng yan globe at pldt sarili lang iniisip
yung bestfriend ko, kakalipat lang sa Globe dahil unlimited daw yung broadband sabi nung agent. tapos nung nakabit na, may cap na 10 GB per day! yun pala ang definition nila ng UNLIMITED! tapos may contract pa ng 2 years, so di pa nya mapaputol. ang sinasuggest ngayon nila, iupgrade na lang daw. gago talaga tong globe na to!
potek tlga isa rin ako sa naloko sabi unlimited tpos my caping pla 7g araw-araw so useless then kng meron man ako 3mbps na speed tpos pag na use-up ko na yong 7g babalik ako sa low speed

Tama kayo isa rin ako sa naloko nang globe, attractive yong brochure nila den tapos ganyan lang pala ang kalalabasan my capping caping pa na hindi naman nila ini explain, talagang man loloko sila! Sino ba sa inyo nag file na class suit? Pasali naman.
PLDT ako for a year na 1.5Mbs na subscription, den ang maganda ay ang na abot na speed ko ay hanggang 3Mbs, and this month lang may globe agent na pumunta at nag offer nag 5Mbs since nagandahan ako sa offer na puro lang pala salita, de nag go ako, yon tuloy na luko ako, nag ka litse litse na ang connection ko, sira ang business, So watch out sa iba na nag paplan na kumuha na globe, don’t ever ever try it.
Useless ang connection nila laging intermittent, since August 2,2013 hanggang sa ngayong August 22,2013 hindi parin na solve nila yong intermittent connection ko.
