Globelines Broadband at 2Mbps

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.

    One Thing I Learned from my past experience with services… If they have a promo, especially a promo that may be the cheapest in the market, expect it to be congested or faulty… Like Globe Handy Phone, I was one of the first subscribers then, but when the Prepaid came it congested and congested the service. The service normalized at least 4 months after its introduction. Same with ISP, if its cheap… its is cheap… In prepaid dial-up, if you buy the cheapy prepaid cards, you cannot use it on peak hours.. Let me reiterate about ISP performance… ask your neighbor regarding the service because it is location dependent. PLDTDSL is great in some areas and some are not. It follows for every services out there. MyDestiny is super in my area and Im glad I stayed away from Globelines Broadband of Marikina. What happend to me is similar Donato… But I asserted my rights and terminated the line. Again, there are a lot of options out there…

    They just accept subscriber even though they cannot give quality service. When you called their Tech Support hotline, the “answering machine” says “any request for onsite tech support shall be attended within 24 hours.” My goodness, instead their personnel will only give you promises that “we on the process of activating your account”. they’ll do nothing to solve your problem. they will even tell you that they cannot do anything about it.

    Instead, they will refer you to the agent who recruited you and advice you to make a follow up on that matter from that agen.

    FUCK THEM

    Globelines is a SCAM. I applied to it, after 15 days the units (modem and phone) was delivered by courier, after that i called their tech support because i cant connect. you know what they said? “Sir we cannot do anything about this. we cannot solve your problem. i follow up nyo after 3 days” after 3 days i followed up, same alibi. follow daw after 7 days. .. same fucking answer. Up until now, 3 months na wala pa rin kami internet.. and they keep sending bills… Bullshit. Ganun din ginawa nila sa friend ko. Shit kayo. Putang ina nyo GLOBELINES. siguro kelangan nyo ng maraming pera ksi laki ng pa premyo nyo sa Eat bulaga, taktak o tatakbo… itinatakbo no ang pera ng subscriber nyo. Wag na kayo mag aksaya ng panahon dyan sa globelines na yan.

    I am using a 2mbps globeline broadband and I’ve confirmed that the broadband speed is 2mbps from there site speed tester yet during downloads of files, I can only reach a download speed of 40kbps!! It shoul download at around 200+kbps!
    Until now they still haven’t found a solution for that.

    Every thing on the net when using my 2mbps globelines connection is lag or too slow!

    And I also have a PLDT DSL only at 768kbps, can download up to 70-80kbps from anywhere on the net! And it does not lag playing any other games on the NET!!!
    2mb vs 768 = 1995 for both plans – I wanted the 2mbps because I thought it ought to be faster! I was wrong! It’s super SLOW!!!!

    I feel cheated by globelines for some reason. Line is very very unstable!

    Mas okay ang Globe Broadband. Yung P888 ng PLDT, faster than dial up lang. Tingnan niyo ang fineprint ng walang hiya. Buti di ako naloko.
    Yung sa Globelines broadband + phone, 384 kbps. P 995
    lang!

    Globelines Broadband

    Kumuha ako application form kanina sa globelines sa sm north cyberzone, ang mahal pala ng installation fee pag ung bundle ang pinakabit mo yung may fone+internet for 995 a month, kelangan mong bayaran ung Phone (landline) na ibibigay nila for four months 500/ month pero ang nakalagay dun isang bayaran n lng ata so 2,000 pesos bbyran mo tpos 500 dun sa initial payment para ma install so 2,500 ang lumalabas na babayran ko pero sabi nila may VAT p daw 100 php ata , ok na rin kahit ganun papakabit na ko,

    SMARTBRO

    nag apply na ko para sa termination ng smartbro ko nag email back sila sakin at dun ko lng nalaman na from DEC 31 – January 26, kaya pala slowerthan dial up connnection ko ay disconnected pala ako kaya naextend ung subscription ko for FREE 26 days FREE ung connection ko, anyway mejo nakakapanglubag loob na rin yon… ma dedelay 2loy ang pagpapakabit ko ng globelines heh
