Wi-Tribe offers Php200 per GB bandwidth

New telco player, Wi-Tribe, has finally addressed their bandwidth strategy by offering some sort of pay-per-use.

Aside from doubling up the bandwidth cap to 6GB, you’re able to top up your bandwidth usage by Php200 per GB.

The current 4G packages include: 1Mbps @ Php998 and 2Mbps @ Php1,998 per month.

I know that the Philippines has one of the most expensive rates in terms of bandwidth but Php200 per GB seems very high.

If that’s the case, then they should just bump up the speeds to 5Mbps or even 10Mbps since it’s consumption-based (downloading 1GB of data in 10 minutes costs the same as downloading 1GB in 3 hours).

    Wi-tribe is a scam company. They don’t provide decent internet speed. I haven’t been able to use mine for 5 months and they won’t allow me to cut the service. What scumbags!

    No decent person who needs a decent internet connection should even consider Wi-tribe. Its junk!

    Well, yeah. Korea is indeed one of the most connected countries, right? At least that’s what I saw in one of the Nat Geo features. So if they have 100Mbps bandwidth, it’s not that surprising. Yun nga lang, may isang damungkal na nuke warheads from North Korea na nakatutok sa kanila. :)

    Ganito…

    The other day, kakuwentuhan ko yung bagong expat sa Danish company na pinagtatrabahuhan ko. I was telling him that he would probably find internet access in the Philippines very crappy.

    But I told him that maybe he could try Sky’s broadband where for the price of 5,000 pesos or so, he can enjoy up to 5MBps. He made a mental calculation (perhaps converting Euro to Peso) and said, well for about the same amount, his bandwidth in Denmark is actually a steady 20MBps. Huwatda!

    Interestingly, just a couple of weeks ago Finland passed a bill making access to high broadband a basic human right, while our country is still wallowing in internet stoneage.

    Tignan mo nga naman… Dito palang sa thread na ito ay malalaman muna yung may pinag-aralan at ang wala. Smart people knows how to talk right but the foolish ones give nothing but curse and negetive thoughts about the subject matter. They keep on whining. He doesn’t fully understand the idea or the whole concept of it. He will never realize or see the good side no matter how much you explain it. Mahirap mag-explain sa saradong isip…”waste of time”. Now find out whom i am referring to. People should be open in understanding both sides. Many may have a bad experience with wi-tribe due to throttled down speed for consuming it’s threshold. But there are more happy and satisfied subscribers with the wi-tribe’s service. See the ratio. Wi-tribe is far better than any local ISP here in the phils. I can truly tell because I have tried most of them. They give what they tell. Atleast lahat malinaw kaysa bigla ka nagtataka bakit sobrang bagal ng connection mo or diconnected. Respect other people who give opinions na hindi nakikiayon sa iyo…yan kung may breeding ka. +Peace+
