Globe Telecom, in a response to the NTC last week, has revealed that they are planning to offer tiered pricing to their data plans in order to address the concerns regarding data caps imposed in recent weeks.
In a report by PhilStar, Globe has responded to the NTC regarding the strict enforcement of their Fair Use Policy and revealed plans to offer subscribers several options to increase their data allocation.
This confirms the previous information we gathered from a source inside Globe that some sort of bucket pricing will be offered soon. Once it is implemented, subscribers will be able to top up and increase their daily limit of 1GB to any allocation.
This direction is similar to the existing PowerSurf promo that Globe already has in place. The difference is that the top up is above the Php999 monthly unlimited internet of existing subscribers.
We still don’t have any exact information on the fees for the top up but we imagine it to be something like this:
Current Plan: Php999 unli data/internet @ 1GB daily limit
Top Up options:
Add Php299/month for additional 1GB/day limit (2GB daily total limit)
Add Php499/month for additional 3GB/day limit (4GB daily total limit)
Add Php999/month for additional 9GB/day limit (10GB daily total limit)
These are just examples but we will update you once the actual figures arrive.
Three weeks ago, Globe started enforcing their 4-year old FUP which sparked a lot of outrage from its subscribers.
Around 30,000 to 60,000 or 3% of Globe’s close to 2 million subscribers are affected by their FUP based on the 1GB/day or 3GB per month limit.

eh di ganon din congested pa rin network kung me options pala. me FUP pa kayong nalalaman, ang talagang dahilan ay pera.
sa speed pa at capped pa lang nila, lugi ka na eh, magdadagdag ka pa.
GLOBE, and bobo nyo.
BOBO! TCP-IP DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT. GLOBE IS FEEDING ON THE COMMON PEOPLE’S KNOWLEDGE ON BOTTLE NECKING.
BUT THE INTERNET DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT!!!
GLOBE IS THE DEVIL.
Asan na ang mga fanboys na nagsasabing mas maganda mag globe kesa sa smart, dali ipaglaban nyo network nyo.
Out of topic lang
Sa area ko, madalas kong tanungin sa mga sales rep ng Globe kung bakit hindi pa nakakarating ang high-speed internet sa amin…iisa ang sagot nila…
”May upgrading ng facilities po kasing nagaganap”
lolwut?
gtfo
Try nila tanggalin yng fup for a week at sbhin nila sa mga subscribers nila na wlang data cap for a week tingnan naten kung kung 3% lng tlga ang nageexceed
MANLOLOKO GLOBE! GINAWA NILA YANG FUP PARA DAGDAGAN ANG BAYARIN NIYO AT PAGKAKITAAN TAYO KAHIT SUPER NAPAKA BAGAL NG SERICE NILA! IMBIS NA IUPGRADE NILA MGA HARDWARE ATE EQUIPMENT NILA, GANYAN KABOBO ANG NAISIP NILANG SOLUSYON! MGA CORRUPT!
Mga boplaks pala kayo eh. Di nyo ba alam na may FUP din si Smart? Naunahan lang sila ni Globe pero for sure susunod din yan mag offer ng top-ups. Yun ang trend ngayon kahit sa abroad. Basa-basa pag may time.
OO nga meron silang FUP pero ito ang official statement ng SMART… Yung explanation ng Globe sa article na iyan, milya-milya.. paki basa na lang…
“With respect to our FUP, this has not been a source of concern because we upgraded our network in 2011-2012 and have more than sufficient capacity to handle our mobile data traffic. Today, we continue to expand our network data capacity to stay ahead of demand. We are also carefully studying current data traffic patterns and customer data usage in our network so that we can maintain a fair usage policy that best serves our customer’s needs.” -Mr.Ramon Isberto, Head, Public Affairs, Smart Communications

It took 30 years for the RADIO to reach 10million listeners
It took 10 years for the TELEVISION to reach 10million viewers
But on the INTERNET it took for just 4years..
Nakakatawang isipin HITECH na nga may LIMIT naman. Buti pa nung araw.. wala namang limit sa pakikinig ng radio at walang limit sa panonood ng tv.. ngayon may limit sa pag iinternet.
Sa mga matalino dyan.. may tanong ako na gusto ko malaman..
Sino, saan , ano, ba ang ISP ng mga ISP natin dito sa pilipinas? I mean may binabayaran ba sila GLOBE, PLDT, ETC ng connection sa ibang bansa? At ganun ba kamahal un? Kaya ganon nalang ilimit ng globe ang net nila? Salamat sa makakasagot hehe…
Kalokohan ng globe.. addional payment for addtional bandwidth?
pano kung LAHAT NG 3% NA HEAVY USER AY WILLING MAG BAYAD.. EDI STILL CONGESTED PADIN ANG NETWORK NG GLOBE.. KUMITA PA SILA SA PAREHONG SERVICE.
Bakit hindi nyu matanggap na walang pambili ang Globe ng mga network devices na pwedeng mag-allow ng 20 GB a day. Mahirap ba intindihing pangit ang facilities ng Globe at FUP ang solusyon? Lemme give you a hint: Smart has better infrastructure.
Uu nga
Pati DSL nila naka cap. Minsan dadayain ka pa sasabihin na reach mo na yung limit kahit hindi naman. Kalbaryo ang mag subscribe sa Globe mapa wireless plan or DSL….either way dadayain ka
baka typo lang ang ads ni globe. FUP: forever unlimited payment at hindi fair usage policy. im just wondering how that minimal 3% heavy data users would affect the whole 97% system wide. it goes to show that hindi kaya ng system ng globe. nagkandalokoloko na yung services ni globe be it prepaid or postpaid: postpaid billing issues, this fup thingy, signal coverage, lte limited lte coverage. between the two telcos, smart pa din (for now).
dati dati, pagnaka globe ikaw, sosyal ang dating mo. ngayon, waley na.
Check these promotional marketing LIES globe used to sucker us into their ‘Unlimited’ internet services.
It reads “Globe promises unlimited LTE on iPhone 5”
http://www.yugatech.com/telecoms/globe-promises-unlimited-lte-on-iphone-5-at-unlisurf-rates/
heres another one:
which reads “…the revolutionary Samsung Galaxy Note 3, with its features best enjoyed with an unlimited LTE plan from Globe which offers a plan value that’s almost double of what you pay for,” said Raul Macatangay, Head of Globe Postpaid.
emphasis on “UNLIMITED LTE PLAN FROM GLOBE” – which qouted from the HEAD OF GLOBE POSTPAID no less!

LIERS!
Walang kwentang Globe yan. Download/Update pa lang ng apps sa appstore/playstore ubos na yang 3gb per month. Pano pa yung mga music streaming sites and cloud data backup? Hindi lang facebook and twitter and ginagawa ng mga tao. Gahamang Globe. Anlakas nyo magbenta ng mga plans tapos icacap nyo lang din. Matatapos na contract ko with Globe this April. Even though Im not affected by this FUP dahil may dsl ako sa bahay, dahil sa ginawa ninyo lilipat na ako.
As in for real talaga yung 1 GB per day tapos 3 GB per month? What a BIG JOKE!
Akala ko dati typo lang yung naging monthly allocation per month. Sinasabi ko sa sarili ko na 30 GB yan, nagkamali lang at 3 GB ang nailagay. Pero ngayon, seriously???
1 GB per day X 30 days = 30 GB for 30 days!!!
Ano ba yan Globe, basic Math lang nagpapaka-bobo kayo para lang sa pera?!
Additional na naman na babayaran. Income na naman nila yan. Dapat nakita nila na madami ng nag access sa net ngayon. Haloslahat na ng device pwede na.
Ok, globe, no problem with 1gb/day.. JUST REMOVE THE 3gb/month!
Mas fair pa siguro kung ganun nga. Ang nakakaloko pa dyan pati mga CS nila ang alam 30gb/ month. Deceiving talaga. Globe Fucked-UP.
Sir Abe, pwede po bang gumawa kayo ng article kung saan ma list nyo yung pwedeng gawin sa 3GB. yung totoo po ha. hindi yung mukhang binayaran..
Salamat po.
Tsk tsk tsk, They say UNLIMITED Data plan not ADDITIONAL Payment….Such a BS!!!!!
