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.
ano ba talaga problem ng globe? bakit ang bagal-bagal ng service nila dito sa davao lately. ang 1MBPS naging 136KBPS na lang ngayun?

ano ba nangyari sa globe? wlalng sumasagot sa customer service nila..pababalik lng mag contact…pooorrrrrrr service
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?

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.
