<पिछले सप्ताह, हमने अपने घर में अपनी Globe DSL के लिए एक अपग्रेड के लिए आवेदन किया और उन्हें उनके Project Freedom प्रमोशन के तहत कुछ विकल्प दिए गए। अपग्रेड 8Mbps से शुरू होकर 150Mbps तक हैं और वे आपको अतिरिक्त गैजेट्स चुनने के लिए देते हैं।

वैसे भी, हमने अपना प्लान 2Mbps से बढ़ाकर 10Mbps कर दिया है, जिसकी कीमत ₱3,999 प्रति माह है।

यदि आप 150Mbps चाहते हैं, तो यह पहले से ही मासिक ₹24,999 है और केवल उन चुनिंदा क्षेत्रों में उपलब्ध है जहाँ फाइबर कनेक्शन मौजूद है।

2 वर्ष की अनुबंध पर हस्ताक्षर करने के बाद, उन्होंने कुछ मुफ्त उपहारों का प्रस्ताव दिया जिनमें से आप चुन सकते थे -- एक Canon प्रिंटर, BlackBerry हैंडसेट, MS Office 365 सदस्यता, Ayala/Newport सिनेमा के लिए Php2,500 मूल्य के क्रेडिट या वार्षिक होटल सदस्यता। आप किसी भी 2 का चयन कर सकते हैं, लेकिन वे आपको एक अतिरिक्त Tattoo पोस्टपेड स्टिक भी 40 घंटे के मुफ्त क्रेडिट के साथ देंगे।

अपग्रेड के दौरान मुझे सबसे अधिक आशा थी कि मेरे खाते को पूरी प्रक्रिया (खाता हस्तांतरण, दस्तावेज प्रसंस्करण आदि) के दौरान एक समर्पित रिश्ता प्रबंधक संभाल रहा था, यहाँ तक कि हस्ताक्षरित दस्तावेजों का घर पर उठाया जाना भी शामिल था।

मैं अपनी यात्रा से घर लौटने पर देखूँगा कि वह 10Mbps कैसा काम करता है।

paano magpakabit ng globe telecoms? lambakin marilao po ako

Truth teller · 13 years ago

All of you guys complain about slow speeds for unfair prices, and in all honesty I do too, but it’s sad that the only reason most of the Filipinos want fair rate internet is to pirate aka steal, the irony is unbelievable, thieves complaining about thieves. If you lived in other countries you’ll know that high speed internet is used mainly for streaming, more often than not from paid services (which ISPs have partnerships with ensuring the generally lowered costs for stakes in subscriptions), gaming and the occasional download here and there. Most people here go through GBs of data in a month that other people in other countries would take a year to match even if they had super fast speeds.

Ridiculous pricing. I’m sticking with my P999/month, 3 Mbps connection. Unlimited pa talaga. I’m done with Globe and their bad service. Its the primary reason why I gave up my postpaid cell plan.

epol · 13 years ago

ganyan pala ka gahaman ang mga telcos dito sa pinas, kaya di ko na ako nagtataka bakit maraming free/hacked internet connection sa pinas.

Iyan Sommerset · 13 years ago

I dunno. Aside from the ridiculous $580/month, unless you have a capable router and multiple HDDs in a RAID config, those maximum download rates would realistically swamp your typical desktop/laptop HDD when downloading stuff.

Pangit connection, mahal pa!! “Up to” daw. pwe

Kaye · 13 years ago

2,499 for only 10Mbps is too steep, considering how slow Globe’s service is and how bad their customer service. Other countries offer nearly 4x the speed for the same amount.

jj · 13 years ago

i applied for 5mpbs about 2months ago, 4.4mpbs lang ang pumapasok tapos may 10gig/day limit.

then i upgraded to 8mpbs. wala ng daily limit pero up to 7mbps lang ang attain ko.

ilan kaya ang actual speed sa 10mbps?

Show some speedtest.net result please

evollove · 13 years ago

I’m pretty sure that 150 Mbps subscription will have a useless “fair-use” download limit that once you reach will cap itself to a pathetic bandwidth.

Jay · 13 years ago

Puro kayo reklamo. Sige dalhin niyo yang mga plans nyo from Japan and South Korea and see if it works here. It won’t. Ganyan talaga sa third world country so just shut up

Red · 13 years ago

No, you shut up. We’d like to hear how things work in other countries. We’ re frustrated and we want change. If things get better, kasama ka rin naman sa pagunlad. I

@Red

There’s no way you can compare Korean Infra than the Philippine Infra , anlaaaaayoooo! Mahal dito kasi mahal ang infra, maintenance, and bandwidth costs na binibili ng telcos compared to Korea where everything interconnected. Kung may sariling infra lang tayo, eh di mura ung net natin…..

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

@rockz

how about Corruption?
I’ve been waiting for a major player to come all along na kalabanin ang duopoly pero wala pa rin, busy yata yung mga opisyal na tumatanggap ng suhol.

Sorry buddy but I don’t buy your reasoning. Mababaw eh…Bandwidth and infrastructure are supposed to be getting cheaper these days. Sadyang marami lang talagang manyakis at gahaman sa pera sa gobyerno natin.

@red
eh burgis kasi yan bow lang ng bow yan hihi.

phonebuddy · 13 years ago

Sobra naman. I have 100mbps at home here in Seoul and halos 1200php lang per month. Then the lte mobile wifi with 10GB maintaining around 10mbps only cost around 450php a month. Iba talaga telecom satin.

phonebuddy · 13 years ago

Arnold TechWeb · 13 years ago

Aba ayos ah sana makagamit din ako nyan. Napakamura naman nyan, dito eh 2mbps lang yang 1200php

pedo · 13 years ago

nang ookray lang yang baklang yan haha

Arnold TechWeb · 13 years ago

Grabe sobrang mahal gusto kong maranasan ang 150mbps kaso sigurado baka 100mbps yan imba kasi ang globe eh

meh · 13 years ago

Im surprised you got someone to answer the phone to actually install/do anything.

Globe was miserable for me, i tried to get dsl installed and they kept putting me off or referring me to some system where i had to text a automated system that just goes in circles for hours.

Could never get a real person or real support. I had selected my packages online and submitted my order, and they never called.

When i printed the info from online and took it to the globe store they seemed completely lost, like they didn’t know whats on their own website..

Aries · 13 years ago

Of course there will be VIP treatment. Surely they know Abe aka yugatech so they do not want to mess up with this person or else they will have a bad reputation :)

Dicube · 13 years ago

maybe for you to have a relationship manager you need to be in certain plan bracket meaning if pay higher monthly you get extra service.

Adrian · 13 years ago

I’m currently the one in charge sa postpaid plans ng office namin, kahit 2mbps lang ang subscription sa bahay may dedicated line at representative sa accounts ko :)

Aries · 13 years ago

And by the way “meh”, Abe went for an upgrade so he already had a rep to begin with. With yours it seems like you are applying for a new plan. Ganyan talaga mga Telco, it will take you weeks/months before your line will be installed. My suggestion is follow up with them every week. This way makikita nila sa records nila na you have contacted them already a lot of times. Pag umpisa patience lang talaga kelangan.

pedro · 13 years ago

of course yuga is an internet celebrity eh ikaw sinu ka ba haha

Rabitto29 · 13 years ago

wow, super steep pricing, while in other countries, Japan for example. You’ll only pay $50 for a 2Gbps internet and one time payment of $540 for installation.. WTF
