So I looked at how Globe does their capping for unlimited mobile internet (SuperSurf) and found out that their Fair Use Policy has a somewhat similar strategy. Though this time, it’s 800MB per day.
Was wondering at first why they did it on a daily basis instead of monthly then realized that there’s no 30-day SuperSurf for prepaid (just for postpaid).
An 800MB daily cap translates to 24GB per month (30 days) so that seems reasonable. I guess their tagline “Walang Metro” only applies to the time-based not not really the bandwidth.
However, unlike Smart’s Fair Use Policy which throttles you down to a slower speed, Globe’s SuperSurf will totally disconnect you to their network when you reach the daily limit. You can go back and surf again the following day, when your 800MB quota will be refreshed.
ah,when the subscription reach 800mb at 10 pm, can I browse again on the net at 12 am since it was considered “tomorrow” or should I wait for 24 hours, like , 10pm the next day? I am really confuse about the subscription time, since I registered in different hours of the day, mostly 3am..
yes you can do that i tried that earlier if u subscribe on 10 pm u can surf on 12 am becauseit says tomorrow
I thought the promo was labelled UNLIMITED surfing. Oh c’mon Globe people, may pinag-aralan naman kayo siguro. Hindi unli pag may limit!!..
I’m not satisfied ..
Sucks, is this a new policy? I’ve definitely done more than 800MB in a day before and not had a problem. Does this effect corporate accounts? I like streaming movies on the go and this will definitely kill that ability. This country used to be so much better that the rest when it came to stuff like capping, it made up for the piss poor speeds. Now its just starting to suck. :(
well better use smartbro.. no capping :-)
@marco
simple lang yan eh.
Wag ka maginternet gamit ang unlisurf at wag magpaloko

way better than smart..
800MB is huge already!.. Unless your downloading torrentz.. hehe…
Many of us are not just browsing Facebook or checking mails (boring). We like downloading movies, softwares, mp3’s, large files. 800mb sucks… Again, only in the Philippines =(
better than smartbuddy
worst than smartbro..
:)
i think globe knows that 800mb per day sucks thats why they didnt put it as the name of the promo or even as a slogan of this promo. they knew it themselves that it may cost them the market if the consumers immediately know that it has an 800mb cap, its an obvious turn off.

I’ve used globe prepaid during the sign off of NU 107 and I did not make it ’til 12 MN… The cap back then was 1GB and lasted more or less 5 hours of media streaming… now it’s 800 MB… it’s not unlimited after all… it’s deceiving that TelCo’s does not include their Fair Usage Policy in their ads!
Sir Abe, tagal na nyan.. ngayun mo lang na-post? bagal mo.
Do they have capping on postpaid unli plan?

sana mas maging transparent ang mga company about these matters at hindi ipasa sa mga consumers ung responsibility na idiscover pa ito bago malaman. that’s why I kinda like wi-tribe’s approach, kinda direct at honest. at least walang gaanong tendency to mislead… but service-wise, I’ll still go for globe
i using globe tatto and aply to unlimited surf for one day tapos bigla nlang na disconect and i call the customer service and they explain thier policy and i said alam ba nyo ang ibig sabihin ng unlimited, nakkagilgil tapat sa ads plang sabihin nila ung totoo.Dapat huwag nilang gamitin ung salitang UNLIMITED kng maging limited or disconect karin sa bandang huli. para sa akin mapa globe o smart parihas silang huwad. gayahin nila ang Mang Inasal yan ang tunay na unlimited (rice)
Letseng Globe yan.. kung nasa globe fair policy dapat pagka load mo pa lang super surf 50. nakalagay na yun 800MB cap, first time ko gumamit ng globe tatoo and i was downloading some patches para sa game ko.. nagulat na lang ako biglang nawala ng net … shet naubos na pala 800mb in 3 hrz… WTF….. sana ma lang lang binaba nila kahit 128kbps… i dont think its fair.. what if a restaurant offer bottom less drink… bottomless drink pero bawal mawalan ng icetea yun baso .. pag nawalan na ng icetea.. wala na refill… damnn.. parang ganyan ginagawa ng globe… pls dont make your subscriber stupid… i still thank sun for all their effort kung wala sila.. WALA PA SIGURONG unlimited and smart and GLOBE.. imagine siguro 3 pesos na per txt msg ngayon kung wala ang SUN…
better use wi-free for your unlimited internet needs. check out my blog. call me at 093265*****. its only 350 per month for unlimited internet EVEN WITHOUT LOAD
rory
experienced the hard and expensive way during the first 2 weeks of using globe tattoo prepaid on my newly bought pc after the free 125 hours promo. many times ive experienced the 800mb cap even without youtube and p2p. sometimes 2 – 3 minutes surfing , nagiging 10mb na agad especially if naka 1.4-1.9mbps and dl speed. what i did i just disabled shockwave flash player and deactivated windows auto updates and antivirus updates. these 3 were the culprits of why such a huge memory usage after so short period of time. no worry for me since i have deepfreeze installed. now it is back to normal. ave 25-30mb per hour on usual surfing,facebook and ym chat. 800mb/24 hours = roughly 33mb/hour.
for now ill stick to globe tattoo. no choice since globe has a much stronger signal than smart. an earlier post was right. sometimes, the dl speed spikes up to 2.4-3mbps. in my area, the signal is hsdpa with ave dl speed 1.2-1.9mbps average. the actual dl speed ive got ranges from 140 – 195 kbps (when downloading a file).
suggestion to globe…bring it back to 1gig or higher or much more unlimited after the holidays.
also train your cs to answer queries re fair usage policy on a more natural and professional manner and not scripted. consumers are not dumb these days anymore. and not always use the ntc/fair usage policy excuse. (“kase po regulated ng ntc yung fair usage policy blah blah blah).
