Got home this evening to find pamphlets at my doorstep from Globe. Apparently they are now offering broadband connections to residential areas with speeds of up to 2Mbps. Sweet.
Here are the DSL rates and prices:
*GenTxt Express Unlimited
Monthly Fee: Php995
DSL Speed: 384kbps
Express Unlimited
Monthly Fee: Php1,495 (promo price of Php995 just now)
DSL Speed: 384kbps
Explore Silver
Monthly Fee: Php1,995
DSL Speed: 768kbps
Explore Gold
Monthly Fee: Php2,995
DSL Speed: 2Mbps
* I think the GenTxt plan is for students. Not sure about it but looks very similar to the PLDT DSL student rate before (Plan 998 or something). And read this — a Globelines landline subscription is NOT a prerequisite to Globelines broadband.
The 2Mbps under Explore Gold plan did took most of my attention. Really, really nice to have something like that at home all by myself. And to think that only last year, I was paying GreenDot Php2,750 for a mere 256kbps connection.

depends lang siguro sa location. i have globelines in marikina and i’ve never experienced not being online for more than 4 hours. kahit 5 days ko iwan online yung MMORPG na nilalaro ko d pa rin nadidisconnect. and its fast too. whenever i have trouble, within the day or the next day at most, may tech na dadating sa bahay. i also like it that they provide usb modems kase kahit may power outtage i can still go online using my laptop. unlike pldt and bayantel, may sariling power source yung modems nila so pag walang kuryente, d rin mkapag online. tip, pag medyo mabagal ang connection nyo just call their hotline and ask for your connection to be reset.
im using bayantel in iligan. lagi timeout and their customer service sucks. late ang bill tapos wala pang communication between collectors and head office. minsan kahit nagbayad ka mapuputulan ka bigla.
Whew! Na-brain-melt yata ako kakabasa nitong thread. And now I am having 2nd thots of subscribing to SmartBro. Reps have been calling me to pay the initial P999 to get the process going.
I stay at Pio del Pilar, Makati (near Washington). What’s the best option for me in this area? SmartBro or Globe??
Thanks!
Oooops… I pasted my comments sa wrong blog. It should be sa SmartBro. Sorry guys…
nakakahiya, wag na kayong mag.advertise kung mahina naman ang service nyo!, talo pa kayo ng smart
ito ang exp ko sa smartbro, grabe sa first month ko.. 34-54kbps lang speed ko.. eh asar na ako talgang kinulit ko na sla…
pumunta sa bahay para ayusin pero ayaw pdin.. ang ginawa pinaltan ng canopy ayun ayus na… sira pala ung canopy ko..
ngayun stable na connection ko kahit umuulan…
sobrang mahal talaga ang internet subscriptions sa pinas, dito sa thailand my wifi subscription only cost me 500 baht a month or about 700 pesos. connection speed is 11Mbps. I used to subscribe for DTAC GPRS connection and it cost me 199 baht a month or about 270 pesos a month for 140 hours-plan.
anybody from San Juan MM? Which internet provider gives the best service? thanks in advance!
huwag na huwag kayo magpapagago sa mga promo ng GLOBELIES BROADBAD. eg. sa bundle ng 2mbs. na dapat ma recieve mo 700kbs pababa ang matatangap mo. except during 1am to 8am, 1.2mbs to 1.99mbs which is good. Pero pagdating ng 9am to midnight kanda letche letche na connection mo. kesio marami na ang subscriber marami ang gumagamit. na di kaya ng kanilang server. Meaning 12 months sasakit ang ulo mo katatawag sa 171/173…
Di ko alam ang situation ng BAYADDSL, gusto ko sanang lumipat pero baka ganon din. Pagtiyatiya-gaan ko muna ang GLOBELIES BROADBAD…
I’ve been using Globelines for more than a year already, so far nothing has change, bulok pa din… GLOBELINES BULOK! GLOBELINES BULOK! GLOBELINES BULOK!. I lunged a complain May this year for an ocular inspection of my connection, if I did not
Call their customer service again to complain my no connection statues, they wont know that I wasn’t visited yet after more than 5 months. I cancelled my visit request that moment and then after a week somebody called me from Globelines contructor saying that they are about to visit my place to assess my connection, wherein a week before I cancelled it already. The stupid man on the phone is insisting that I should have been to their office to cancel my request and I said that’s so silly, what for is this customer hotline if I should do minor transaction on their office? In short galit pa yung tumawag saken=)) WTF… Anyway..I shouted on him to cut the conversation=)) Grabe!!! Grabe!!!

Globelines Broadband is a scam!!! Letting us customers experience their 7-day trial period of real broadband speed then they will tie us in their 1yr bond then after that the HELL ON EARTH of internet begins.
I am experiencing problems with globelines broadband… I subscribed to their 512kbps wireless broadband package with wireless phone (PHP1295/mo.)… they gave me 7 days trial period and within that trial period I was amazed with the speed… pumapalo from 700+ kbps to 1+ mb… kaya pina-activate ko kaagad. Pero eto na ang kalbaryo… right after the 7-day trial period nagsimula nang maging intermitent ang connection speed nila either super bagal (I even got 5bps or lower!!!) o totally walang connection. Lagi ako nagrereklamo sa CS nila pero wala naman sila ginawa kundi palitan yung modem na wala naman nagbago ganon pa din naman problema. My work is related to IT and I know that there is no problem at my side (hardware, softwares, cabling, etc…). Kakainis na talaga ang service ng globelines… feeling ko naloko lang ako kase nakatali ako ngayon sa kanila for 1yr dahil sa 1yr bond na kasama sa package.
eh tang ina sila eh inuna pa nila ayusin ang para sa cel phone ng puking ina nila eh bat hangang ngayon di pa inaayos ang para sa net?? ampota eh unli lang naman ang binabayaran ng iba tangina nyo globe
ayusin nyo service nyo!!!!!!!! globe bulok! mas ok p bayantel na dial-up. 2 weeks na ako wla connection. globe bulok!!!!!!!!!!

I used to be a smart bro subsciber before nung nasa maynila pa ako, maganda lang sa umpisa, nang mga sumunod na buwan wala na. Lage nalang nadi-disconnect at masyadong mabagal ang speed. So nung umuwi ako dito sa province ko sa leyte and decided to settle here, i tried Bayantel DSL. It sucks too but better than smart. When i moved into a new apartment, i have to transfer the connection to another municipality and it was really embarassing that they cant transfer my connection there because of blah blah blah blah. they said its because the agreement between this the municipality i was in and the municipality i’m moving to dont allow it. But they have bayantel in maasin city southern leyte too, so its really disgusting. They advice me to terminate my account there in the old place and go to the bayantel center in maasin and apply again for a new connection. What sucks more is I have to pay one hell of money for terminating the contract and i need to wait 1 week before they can connect again an internet connection to my new place. So i got fed up! and said it’s enough. They just want to squeeze money out from customers so they are doing it.
My landlady told me of GLOBE(995 promo).
So, i try to find out everything that i need to know, i tried to get feedbacks from my neighbors who are using globe too, they said its okay. I dont know how much globe pays them to say so. Now, i just realize, since January 5, 2008 until now, when did i ever have a good connection? When i call customer service all i can get is that there is a technical problem and the restoration is on-going and it’s going to be finish soon and BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! It keeps getting DC and DC and DC. There were even days that no connection at all for almost a week.
SO NOW, ANYONE TELL ME, IS THERE REALLY A GOOD COMMUNICATION COMPANY WHO IS HONEST ENOUGH AND WILL GIVE US WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSE TO GET OUT OF WHAT WE PAY FOR?
FOR GLOBE: WHY DONT U TRY TO BE HONEST AND JUST GET THIS WHOLE THING DONE, BEFORE YOUR VISAYAS AND MINDANAO SUBSCRIBERS ARE ALL GONE?
ano ba nangyari sa globe? wlalng sumasagot sa customer service nila..pababalik lng mag contact…pooorrrrrrr service
