Wi-Tribe doubles up bandwidth to 6GB

Had a talk over the phone with one of Wi-Tribe’s representatives last Saturday and we discussed about the 3GB monthly bandwidth allocation which we reported last month.

They said that they’ve considered the merits and clarified a number of issues, including that 1am to 7am open window (which is actually still logged by at just 25% of actual usage, though I am told it’s not final/implemented yet).

Moreover, starting Monday (yesterday), they’ve already increased the monthly allocation to 6GB. However, once that allocation is used up, the accounts will still work but the speed will be adjusted down. Existing subscribers should have received notice about this by now. That allocation can/will still be adjusted in the future depending on the performance of the network and the usage of the subscribers.

They’ve added that since Wi-Tribe is still in its “soft launch” stage, they’re still figuring out a better way to provide a more, should I say, equitable and socialized internet service.

So,you guys think 6GB is enough?

    BADTRIP!!! They offer Unlimited surfing & browsing. Consistent speeds of up to 1mbps. But if you used your monthly usage allowance (6gb)your 1mbps CONSISTENT SPEED broadband connection will NOT be cut off. but they adjusted your surfing speed to below 512Kbps. BUT HOW MY CURRENT SPEED TODAY TURN TO 50kbps i already complain this to costumer service but they only offer a move more plan which is P200.00 per gigabyte or i have to wait next month to refresh my connection speed i called their agent many times but she didn’t answer her phone WHERE’S THE 1mbps CONSISTENT SPEED???

    Guys, Im also a victim of wi-tribe internet connection. Before i was using the sun broadband 790 per month for 512kpbs. I had a small comparison when trying to stream a video. Actually it was a lot faster when im using my sun broadband before compared to wi-tribe even if you still have not used up the 6gb cap. Their so called 1mbps is a total bs. Is there a way we could drop the contract with them with false advertising. The good thing though is that I paid additional 2500 for the modem so that my lock in period will just for 1 year. But its so irritating that they are doing this to full people. They said that after using the 6gb cap that you will be reverted to 512 but the thing is you are not really getting the 512 speed. I wish some one or we can have a protest to sue this company.

    I signed up for Wi Tribe 2 days ago. I was “blinded”by the speed they offered. I was having problems with my Sun Broadband connection and thought Wi Tribe would be a breath of fresh air.

    Regrettably, I am already experiencing lotsa trouble with it. First, I was told by one of the agents (booth in Mkt) that Pasay is covered but when I got home, lo and behold, i only had 1 bar of signal, and that was outside my window. It wouldn’t work anywhere in the house. Tough luck eh?

    I still thought I’d give it a try. Then I found out about the cap – this was never mentioned.

    This won’t work for me. Good thing I haven’t disconnected my Sun services yet. Internet/Broadband services in the Philippines have a long way to go.

    How is it that Wi-Tribe defender pop like mushrooms out there? anyway!!, im one of the subscriber that not satisfied to their service, we paid them to use what we expect 1 mbps and unlimited use of internet, thats what all user want High Speed Connection, and what did Wi-Tribe did!?, wait their GOOD Service, for how long???.. thats why so many user commented very negative, do you all think people waste their time just for nothing?? of course not there’s a reason for that, and that is Very SLOW like Dial-up Connection and thats Wi-Tribe.

    Still, why do we need to sign up for a capped bandwidth if there are better ISPs?

    We should wait for other companies that will offer better/perfect services.. It always happens..

    This is a totally a no-no plan. 6GB bandwidth usage will be just too small for a month.
