Analogy is not really the perfect choice for the issue. I used to have both unlimited data for globe and smart and globe really sucks bigtime.

I feel that the speed of smart 1500 unlidata is still too slow for my needs due to the cap and switched to Infinity. And now I am getting an average 8MBps on peak hours and an average of 100GB a month. If I will be on orepaid or regular postpaid, I doubt I will have enough patience to use the service of either telco.

The real issue here is the there is a doupoly of the market making it impossible for us to have cheaper and better connection. Currently, if we want to get a real unlimited and premiere service, you must be prepared to pay for it.

1. I attest na mas cheap ang LTE service sa pinas. US Telco charge $$ per MB for LTE users. Tayo Fair Usage lang.

2. Reklamo “Dapat unli ang unli”
– parang the argument is based on word usage. Maipilit lang na unlimted dahil unlimited. Unli naman ah, babagal lang.

I think the analogy makes sense and I think the counterarguments don’t.

I also think na makikitid pa ang utak ng karamihan about the concept kaya the arguments a

3. Reklamo “Not my problem kung babagal ang network nila” and “I download torrent on mobile”
– it is a NETWORK, these selfish takes irritates me a lot.
Sige i push natin na lahat mag torrent download. The 2% heavy users gawin nating 98%. I know it’s extreme pero imagine anong mangyayari sa service nila.
Torrents should be downloaded from a home wired connection, d nyo ba nababasa ung warning kapag big files yung dinadownload?

3. Reklamo “mabagal/inconsistent ang speeds” True,and it could be worse if they don’t manage the 2% that’s putting a stress in their network.
It can alse be better, but hey, that’s their deal.

I think the analogy makes sense and the counterarguments don’t.

I think marami pa ang makikitid ang utak about the concept which makes their arguments either weak, fallacious, irrational, and/or irrelevant.

Oh cmon! Globe simply wants to make as much profit as they can. Sa unlimited kasi the amount subscribers pay is fixed. So they try to control that. But if it’s per kb or the time (P5 for every 15mins) based usage….kahit siguro maka 50GB ka as long as babayaran mo, then they don’t cap it. Kasi kikita sila dun. Obviously it’s not that their capacity has limitations. If ganun dapat may cap lahat across the board.

Lets find out if fucking globe is telling the truth. Pls take this survey if you are a globe postpaid subscriber. Share this also to other globe postpaid subs. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Z8bsvahEy1inJEcetdglL97H9jHg8fmYNE1hq2mfwLE/viewform

Im a heavy user even if i dont use torrents for downloading videos, my internet is turned on 24 hours a day 7 days a week, all off a sudden they send sms thru 8888 that i have exceeded 1gb, so hows its gonna be? shift to another network? I have no other choice. Im a postpaid user for more than 3 yrs.

GOD! They keep saying that they’re “upgrading their systems” and they still can’t service 98% of their postpaid subscribers properly??? Don’t call it UNLIdata. The fact that Globe is limiting the speed at which I can download data does not make it unlimited. That already is a limit.

E bakit yung prepaid Power Surf ko na naka-cap na ng 1GB for 30 days, mabagal pa din na parang 2G lang ang speed? That EDSA analogy is bullshit, they’re not even close to being the same.

3000 is 2% of what exactly? All Globe subscribers or just postpaid subscribers? The fact is, while prepaid customers make up the bulk of Globe’s revenue, postpaid subscribers still pay MORE than your average prepaid subscriber so it is understandable that postpaid subscribers expect better service. Bokya na nga sa billing ang Globe, pati ba naman ito, babagsak pa sila? If they can’t sustain their unlimited LTE plan, they should stop selling those plans and just offer bucket pricing. At least it won’t be as deceptive as it is right now.

Let me give my perspective as a filipino who has been living in other countries.

Capping is really a prevalent practice no matter what telco you pick. Pricewise, our local telcos are surprisingly more competitive that our ASEAN neighbors. In fact, if purely on cost and services offered on paper, local telcos do offer more for less (yes, taking the cap into consideration as well).

However, the major problem with our local telcos is that the quality of their service is downright inconsistent. You have fast download speeds in the heart of the city, only for it to drop off just 10km away from the city center.

I only get 3G speeds where I am at. But I generally get 3-6Mbps no matter where I go. Even in the rural areas.

These local telcos should stop playing the speed game and concentrate on giving good and consistent service throughout the country.

and so i am back to my blackberry with BIS plan to save data. my job requires receiving, answering and forwarding large files thru email, it feels like yr 2008 all over again

bkit saken even 6GB n ako sa isang araw. wala pring throttling n ngyyari. Globe Postpaid User

The funny thing is that I have Smart, Globe, and Sun postpaid… Bihira ko na nga magamit ang Globe ko dahil madalas wala akong signal sa mga pinupuntahan ko(Makati and Muntinlupa area), sa kanila lang ako nakakaexperience ng capping.

So far, ang Smart at Sun never ko pa to naexperience. Also, I download files all the time. Ang consumption ko sa Smart MTD is 43GB while 25GB sa Sun and yet naka 3G pa din ako.

I guess it really just boils down to the fact that smart has a bigger allocation on data versus globe… Badtrip lang kasi mas mahal ang Globe.

This is BS!!! Mukhang mapapa-cut ko temporarily ung line ko tapos lilipat na lang ako sa Sun. Hahaha! Parang non-sense na ung pagkuha ng postpaid plan. Sana marealize ng Globe na this is very wrong! I bet kokonti nlng subscribers ng Globe.

I hate that they offer LTE available for all data plan then limit thier usage to 1gb per day.. how will that work if you have lte speen probably in less than an hour you’ve used up all those mb already.. maybe what they need to do is cut all thier LTE so less traffic..

I really dont believe that on average that only 3000 subscribers reach 1 gb,youtube HD alone would cost you about 50-100mb and thats only one video that lasts 4-6mins
So sa 10 videos alone wala na yung 1 gb mo wala pang browsing and gaming yun.Imbes na paangat ang technology natin eh pabagsak haaay

pinagmamalaki pa ng mga bwitreng mga telco na yan na high-tech sila eh pinag-iiwanan naman ang pilipinas pagdating sa bandwidth. dagnabbit.

While helpful for majority of subscribers ang pagkakaroon ng sort of Fair Usage Policy, the way Globe did it is a bit unfair.

The limit is a bit small specially kung brina-brand nila ang service nila as a broadband service (Tattoo) at kung sinasabi nilang unlimited ito.

1GB/day or 3GB/month is just to little especially if you have a fast LTE connection and 2G speeds are just too damn slow to be usable especially for PCs.

A better option would for example let’s say 50GB full speed tapos throttled to around 1.5Mbps after reaching that cap. Kahit papaano usable pa rin.

let the money do the talking na lang…
– remove the “unlimited” or explain that it will have throttling
– add a new and more expensive “true unlimited” service na walang throttling so those who really want that high-speed mobile downloading should pay more.

people just don’t want to be misled by these marketing gimmicks kaya nagkakaroon ng mga negative reactions.
