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.
Hey! Hey! Hey! nkakatawa naman mga kwento nyo, comments and experiences, kala ko ako lng ang nanggagalaiti sa galit hehe, well here’s my story, Smartbro subs ako since Oct 31, 2006 hindi ko pansin na mbgal n pala ung connection ko kc first time ko lng magpakabit ng broadband kala ko ok n ung ganung speed, na notice ko lng sya nung Dec to January biglang bumilis ang ang connection ko na dapat ay ganon pala ang speed na nkukuha ko. after that bumalik nnman sa dati, then tinawag ko sa customer service nila na, to make the story short 4 times ako n field visit 3 times palit ng canopy at 1 beses change ng base station. after that mas lalo bumagal ang connection ko, tinawag ko sa knila and mukang banned na ang number ko sa knila kc everytime na ung given ko na contact number ay hindi nla sinasagot kya kailangan ko pang mang hiram ng ibang sim o ibang number, but ung cel number ko ay active p rin nagriring naman at inaabot sya ng 10-15 minutes walang nasagot. pag naman may sumagot sinsabi lng nila na may prblem daw sa base staton kung san ako konnected. Eh araw araw ako buong linggo tumatawag puro ganon! sa bwisit ko cnagot ko ung nsa line sbi ko miss alam mo 1 week n ako tumatawag dyan puro ganyan ang sinasbi nyo, sbi ko kelan maayos yung gngwa? ska ung mga field agent nila ha mukang mga tga squatter lang ni walang laptop na dala para i configure ung settings ng connection ko from the base station or alignment. dating ng dating ung billing dito s amin at tinawagan p ako ha para ipaalala daw ung billing nmin sbi ko wala kming bbyaran khit singko hanggat hindi nyo naayos ung connection ko, mukang wala na silang gngwa and hinihintay ko nalng mag expire ung contract ko s knla. until now hindi na cla tumawag skin khit may previous complain p ako sa knila. mabilis p mag browse ung celphone ko eh! 65 kbps – 168 kbps ang bilis diba! kaya smart dapat s inyo hindi tinatangkilik.
smart bro-ken ang gamit namin dito sa meycauayan bulacan……….super walang kwenta…………..promise! sana ang globe di ganun.
meron na po ba nito sa meycauayan bulacan?
Requirements for a 995php Globe Broadband?? 2500php one time registration fee, identification or credentials and lots of patience!! hehe. Just acquired 995php for my small business desk at Marikina city. I can really differentiate the residential and business service quality of service. At home i applied for a residential data only service and they were like turtles on my application and activation hence I terminated it. (B.S. on the holding period as long as you assert it) now with the allure of the 995php business line (995php broadband and zero pesos on the landline) this is a no brainer! I’m paying 1500php just for a business line and wow! upgrading to a 995php MSF that comes with a broadband is sweet. My frame of mind is “I don’t really care if my DSL functions or not as long as I can get the cheaper MSF and a working business landline!!” Well, my MSF package is now lower and now we will wait if this Globelines DSL at Marikina City deserves praise… so far so good! By the way Destiny Cable at Marikina has a good service!
ei guys..what are the requirements for application of globe broadband 995..tnx
For those who are now keen on avoiding Globe’s DSL, and also still wary about PLDT’s DSL… I saw an ad on Bayan DSL. (From Bayantel)
DSL satisfaction or your money back DAW. Look it up. Posible na wala silang lock-down period.
I am one of those lured by your beautiful advertisement about globebroadband. I regretted having subscribed to it. From the time I paid the initial payment on June 16, 2007, my telephone conked out every other day and I got my modem changed three times already! To say that i am very much disappointed is an understatement.
Why can’t globelines get the clue from the minions of complaining customers that they have a lemon for a modem. The crux of the problem is your modem, change its model, stupid!!! Until then, I will never recommend Globebroadband to any of my friends for fear of losing them.

Cavite ako sa Imus.

TAKOT SILANG MA SPAM SA DAMI NG NAGREREKLAMO!!

I WOULD REALLY WASTE MY TIME JUST TO SPAM IF THEY’VE PUT UP A FORUM!! THE SUCK!!! THEY DIDN”T EVEN ANTICIPATE THESE PROBLEMS AND ANG GULO NILA HINDI SILA MARUNONG MAG KEEP UP SA PROMISE NILA NA MAY ONSITE VISIT SA DAY NA SINABI NILA DAHIL NANGAKO SILA NA MAY MAG VISIT NA TECHNICIAN AT TWO WEEKS NA WALA PA REN PUMUPUNTA DAMN GLOBE!! *rest*
at magaling naisip nila ha…
They will lure you to their cheap connection 995/month and they will not give the service that you are paying for hangang sa mainis ka at ipacut na ung connection which has a fee of P7200 and what did you get?? NOTHING… just wasted your money….
