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.
Mga Bro/Sis!!!

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!!!
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…
anybody from San Juan MM? Which internet provider gives the best service? thanks in advance!
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.
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…
nakakahiya, wag na kayong mag.advertise kung mahina naman ang service nyo!, talo pa kayo ng smart
Oooops… I pasted my comments sa wrong blog. It should be sa SmartBro. Sorry guys…
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!
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.
ito speed ko ngaun sa smartbro…
34 kpbs….
ping ping ping…
yan lang ang gagawin sayu..
which is the BEST from globe broad band, my DSL and smart bro? in a low end price… please HELP ME, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, PLEASE…..
if i were to use a router, is there any way or a device that would not split the connection speed between the 2 computers?
ang panget ng globe
Globelines Broadband
Ok na ang globe di man lang nasira kahit talong bagyo ang dumaan wow nag iimprove n talaga connection ko… wak0k0 at prang bumibilis pa ang speed…
nasa 3rd contract na ako w Smart wireless broadband. started July 2005, Smart Wifi pa nun at 988/mon. dami problema nun first year ko pero nakaraos naman. 3 weeks before mag-end ang contract, nawala internet almost 2 weeks nang wala kaya in desperation, i made my complaint dun mismo sa Smart Wireless Center s SM Fairview kc nga may alternative na nun sa amin yung speak and surf ng Globe. naayos naman ang Smart, pinalitan nila yung antennae ko from Sennfarr to Canopy tapos pinadagdagan ko pa ng isang tubo kc tumataas na yung punong mangga ng kapitbahay eh. from that time on ala nang major issues. mawala man internet mga 30 minutes lang matagal na sang oras. cept tong friday lang wala internet from 8:30 pm to today sun pero balik sya ng mga 11 am. dahil cguro sa bagyo. so ako nasa san jose del monte, bulacan dl ko ranges from 200-350 kbps may burst speed pa from 1-8 mbps. di na masama for 988/mon atsa location ko pa. God bless Smart.
I think in our country, regardless of the service provider, wala talagang stable connection.
I’ve heard of more complaints about SMART BRO.
Dito sa Baguio mas grabeh, 0 kbps talaga. Walang signal on most places.
kakapakabit ko lang din globe budget bundle. they assured me na of a 200+ kbps speed. hanggang ngaun less 54kbps connection ko.
hay…
Bago lang po ako nag pakabit nang globelines 758kbps.
Bakit 14 kbps ang download speed ko??!!! may problema ba sa connection? Ang friend ko may 384kbps pero umaabot nang 30kbps ang download speed!
WTF!!!
walang k kwenta kwenta smartbro dito sa CARMONA CAVITE! ang laki ng kinikita nyo araw araw, ayaw nyong ayusin connection namin! mukang pera lang kyo eh! sa billing nga advance one month hinihingi nyo na eh! sigurista! pero pag ttwag k n s knila kung ano anong dahilan ssbhin nila s inyo kesyo may inaayos daw. wala daw clang tools pra m check ung connection ko twag daw uli ako ng 30 minutes. Smart nga cla Smart sa mga palusot! pero narinig ko sa line nag tatawanan at nag kkwentuhan lng ung mga katabi nya kaya wag n kyo mag taka kung bkit minsan walang nsagot sa tawag nyo.
