그래서 저는 무제한 모바일 인터넷을 위한 Globe 의 데이터 차감 방식 (SuperSurf) 을 살펴봤고, 그들의 공정한 사용 정책 (Fair Use Policy) 이 비슷한 전략을 사용하고 있다는 것을 알게 되었습니다. 다만 이번에는 800MB per day 입니다.
처음에는 왜 매일 하는지 월별로 하지 않는지 궁금했는데, 선불형에는 30일 슈퍼서핑이 없고(유료선불형에만 해당) 후불형만 있다는 사실을 깨달았습니다.
An 800MB 일일 사용량 한도는 24GB (30 일 기준) 로 월간으로 환산되므로 이는 합리적으로 보입니다. 아마도 그들의 슬로건 "Walang Metro"은 시간 기반 제한에만 적용되는 것이지, 대역폭에는 실제로 적용되지 않는 것 같습니다.
다만, 스마트의 공정한 사용 정책이 속도를 제한하는 것과 달리, 글로브의 슈퍼서프는 일일 한도에 도달하면 네트워크 연결을 완전히 끊습니다. 다음 날 800MB 할량이 재설정되면 다시 접속하여 인터넷을 이용할 수 있습니다.
I’ve used globe prepaid during the sign off of NU 107 and I did not make it ’til 12 MN… The cap back then was 1GB and lasted more or less 5 hours of media streaming… now it’s 800 MB… it’s not unlimited after all… it’s deceiving that TelCo’s does not include their Fair Usage Policy in their ads!
Sir Abe, tagal na nyan.. ngayun mo lang na-post? bagal mo.
Do they have capping on postpaid unli plan?

sana mas maging transparent ang mga company about these matters at hindi ipasa sa mga consumers ung responsibility na idiscover pa ito bago malaman. that’s why I kinda like wi-tribe’s approach, kinda direct at honest. at least walang gaanong tendency to mislead… but service-wise, I’ll still go for globe
i using globe tatto and aply to unlimited surf for one day tapos bigla nlang na disconect and i call the customer service and they explain thier policy and i said alam ba nyo ang ibig sabihin ng unlimited, nakkagilgil tapat sa ads plang sabihin nila ung totoo.Dapat huwag nilang gamitin ung salitang UNLIMITED kng maging limited or disconect karin sa bandang huli. para sa akin mapa globe o smart parihas silang huwad. gayahin nila ang Mang Inasal yan ang tunay na unlimited (rice)
Letseng Globe yan.. kung nasa globe fair policy dapat pagka load mo pa lang super surf 50. nakalagay na yun 800MB cap, first time ko gumamit ng globe tatoo and i was downloading some patches para sa game ko.. nagulat na lang ako biglang nawala ng net … shet naubos na pala 800mb in 3 hrz… WTF….. sana ma lang lang binaba nila kahit 128kbps… i dont think its fair.. what if a restaurant offer bottom less drink… bottomless drink pero bawal mawalan ng icetea yun baso .. pag nawalan na ng icetea.. wala na refill… damnn.. parang ganyan ginagawa ng globe… pls dont make your subscriber stupid… i still thank sun for all their effort kung wala sila.. WALA PA SIGURONG unlimited and smart and GLOBE.. imagine siguro 3 pesos na per txt msg ngayon kung wala ang SUN…
better use wi-free for your unlimited internet needs. check out my blog. call me at 0932*******. its only 350 per month for unlimited internet EVEN WITHOUT LOAD
rory
experienced the hard and expensive way during the first 2 weeks of using globe tattoo prepaid on my newly bought pc after the free 125 hours promo. many times ive experienced the 800mb cap even without youtube and p2p. sometimes 2 – 3 minutes surfing , nagiging 10mb na agad especially if naka 1.4-1.9mbps and dl speed. what i did i just disabled shockwave flash player and deactivated windows auto updates and antivirus updates. these 3 were the culprits of why such a huge memory usage after so short period of time. no worry for me since i have deepfreeze installed. now it is back to normal. ave 25-30mb per hour on usual surfing,facebook and ym chat. 800mb/24 hours = roughly 33mb/hour.
for now ill stick to globe tattoo. no choice since globe has a much stronger signal than smart. an earlier post was right. sometimes, the dl speed spikes up to 2.4-3mbps. in my area, the signal is hsdpa with ave dl speed 1.2-1.9mbps average. the actual dl speed ive got ranges from 140 – 195 kbps (when downloading a file).
suggestion to globe…bring it back to 1gig or higher or much more unlimited after the holidays.
also train your cs to answer queries re fair usage policy on a more natural and professional manner and not scripted. consumers are not dumb these days anymore. and not always use the ntc/fair usage policy excuse. (“kase po regulated ng ntc yung fair usage policy blah blah blah).
Matagal ng may cap ang globe. Nasa website nila mismo http://www.gameops.net/2010/09/globe-telecom-adds-metro-to-super-surf.html
I support CAPS! lol
Seriously, better than then network congestion.
solution:
use “opera turbo” feature in opera browser. i’m sure that you’ll get lower bandwidth since opera turbo compresses all images when you browse the internet.
at least, this is a way for extending your browsing life.
Langya yang mga telco na yan. para tayong bumabalik sa Dial-up days na may capping ah. Buti pa yung dial up pag nag exceed ka add ka lang ng data charges sa bill and ok na yun.
They shouldnt call it unlimited kase sobrang liit nyan. pwede pa unlimited similar with web hosting companies na 999999mb ayan pwede yan tawagin unlimitied pero yung 800mb at 1.5G is useless lalo na ngayun.
In 2011 dadami pa ang mobile device users since lahat ng tech. papunta dun. maiiwan na ang desktop and laptops since mobile users will most likely use their mobile devices for instant research for, restaurants, friends, shopping, travel etc. less hassle kesa ilalabas mo pa ang laptop mo or notebook mo para lang mag google.
@lolipop
the 1.5gb from smart only applies for their postpaid galaxy tab and n8 unli internet plans.
doesnt apply for prepaid.
and besides as yuga states he only discovered it at the smart website. he didnt experienced it first hand. also who knows if its implemented now.
@neo
wait, mas maganda ang smart? Mas maganda ang 1.5Gb limit per month vs 800 Mb limit per day? Really?
Due to the limited frequencies assigned to Globe and other telcos, you should not expect to have unlimited data downloads. Unlimited here means you can stay online indefinitely while you are subscribed to the “unlimited” service and haven’t gotten over the maximum bandwidth (sounds ironic).
Mobile telco’s aren’t designed to accomodate heavy downloads. If you are a heavy user, it’s better to have a wired connection.
just compare globe, smart and sun to a succubus that would suck the fun out from websurfing…
as for me, i am happy with my landline dsl plan.. although it is expensive and i cant connect while on the road, but its internet speed is consistent. so what if i cant connect while on the road, do i really need to watch a youtube video or update my facebook with my ipad or nokia c3 while in edsa??? wala pa akong balak magpakamatay sa kamay ng holdaper.
kakainis tlaga ung 800mb cap. ngaun di na ako makadownload ng torrents. mas maganda ung smart on this. un nga lang wla akong 3g signal dito samin. kaya bumili pa ako ng globe tatoo. pero day 1 pa lg of use prompted na ung 800 mb warning sms. tas kung kelan ka talaga na consume dun rin sya mag resume. ang tagal ko pa nag antay.
yeah right @ commenter mas maganda pa gumamit ng proxy. kaya lg mejo mabagal kumpara sa original setting.
Para po saken Kulang yung 800mb.
pero kung iko-compare mo naman po
sa ibang mga ISP,
Globe na po halos yung pinaka the best
sa Internet service..
Sobrang Bilis po kasi dito sa bahay namin.
minsan pa nga po umaabot ng 3mbps pag madaling araw.
Mas mabilis pa kesa sa Wi-Tribe 4g.
tas diba sa Wi-Tribe pagkakatanda ko po
P200/gb.. tas good for 1month pa yun.
eeh wala pa sigurong 12hours kang online kapag nanunuod ka ng youtube
ubos na kagad yung 1gb.
Maiba tayo ng topic sir Abe but related to internet din.. Have you heard http://www.wi-free.com? LEGAL po bang gamitin sa pinas?
im under a postpaid blackberry unlimtd service i consume around 1gb perday for tehtering, not experiencing cap…i guess its a different issue for postpaid..
800 MB is pretty small these days. Imagine manood ka lang ng youtube ang laki na ng bandwith na macoconsume. What if whole day kang online – I’m sure you can consume more than the 800 MB cap. D ka na rin makakadownload ng movies (download lang ng legal at walang copyright infringement ha :D )
For Prepaid. You can just unregister your current terminated SuperSurf subscription then register again to get another 800MB. Its like 50pesos/800MB.
Not happening on me on Postpaid SUPERSURF which is 1,200 on top my bill. I’m using iPhone internet tethering to my MacBook. I downloaded more than 15GB a day. Speed still up to 3Mbps and i get about 2.5Mbps.
i was locked out twice, when i downloaded ubuntu and then when i installed programs. I used 2 sims for it. So i guess their tv commercial is not exactly true
@mindyq
cge gumamit ka ng dsl while driving, at the school, mall etc.
just get ADSL or cable internet guys
I want to try the sun unlimited broadband next time
sana naman mas ok and d madalas mawalan ng signal bars everytime i use myglobe tatto0 usb broadband”,
This is the reason why I sold m Globe Tattoo. I’m now with Sun, which is not any better. Crawling speeds…
@daninjakitten
a limit to their unlimited service? the irony..
Oh, just a tip… It’s Youtube and other flash related websites which sucks the most from your 800 Mb limitation.
Technically, you can stretch the Globe Tattoo capping from 800mb to 1,600 Mb per day. That is if you’ll load at some point of the day, say at 12pm, you’ll be able to surf and download for 800 Mb before Globe temporarily stops your subscription. Then, when midnight comes, you’ll be able to start surfing and downloading again till 12pm the next day as your subscription will be terminated on that time whether you reach another 800 Mb or not for the next day.
At this point, you could load and register for another SUPERSURF50 run and basically just do the same till the next day.
I know this because I am experiencing it first hand and daily with my prepaid Globe Tattoo on my laptop.
I use to get furious about Globe capping my Prepaid Internet Connection but after reading Smart’s way of capping, I guess I have to settle with the “lesser evil.” ;-)
Mas ok naman to kesa sa SMART at SUN. Grabe. Tinry ko yung mga unlimited nilang tatlo. Yung sa smart, palaging may problema, ayaw kumonek kahit 5bars yung signal. Yung sun naman sa madaling araw lang. Pero yung Globe, mabilis halos sa buong araw kaya nga lang hindi pede sa mga heavy user katulad ko. Kaya nagregister ako mga 8pm tapos saktong 12 naka 800MB na ako. Thanks
buti na lang ako, naka vpn at proxy, cap? dinudugas tayo ng mga telco, tama lang na gantihan natin sila.
internet freedom means free internet access!
From 2GB TO 1GB and now it came up to 800MB a day.
@frozenpyro
Totally agree with you. I have had several run-ins with Globe about their so-called unlimited surfing, and some of my emails apparently even made it as far as middle management. The last time I was in contact with them (a few months ago) was when they disconnected my prepaid Tattoo SIM without even warning me because they said I went over their limit on the unlimited service. Of course, I threatened to sue them and to report them to the Ad Standards Council, but unfortunately never got around to it.
Well, pasok pa rin naman yata ang complaints ko sa statute of limitations ng violation nila (as far as I know; will have to check, though) and I downloaded the pages on their site, so wala silang ligtas if I decide to push through with a lawsuit or a formal complaint.
yeah nangyari ito sa akin yesterday. nakita ko lang sa inbox ko na dinisable yung unli surf ko.
@Abe, when you mention mobile internet here, are you just talking about the internet you use with your usual call & text line or does this also encompass Globe’s Tattoo Broadband / SmartBro prepaid?
From the looks of the Smart cap, mobile browsing would pertain to the likes of Smart Buddy and Smart Gold. Not to SmartBro because the expected usage here is totally different. I would assume that the cap for Globe is also just meant for the net that comes with Globe’s prepaid/postpaid call&text lines. Globe Broadband would have a totally different usage altogether.
@charo – i think for Smart, SmartBro is not under mobile internet category. For Globe, I think the cap includes both mobile internet and Tattoo since both are under SuperSurf. Globe Broadband has different cap. Around 15GB to 25GB per month.
Sir Yuga, how come the title of your review for this is: Canon Powershot S95 Review? lol :)
Bug with WordPress App on the iPhone. Fixed it na.
@alexei – i don’t think it makes sense to download an 800MB file on your phoje. the biggest i have downloaded ia like 60MB.
Ok ung sa globe 800mb per day,but if you want to download m0re stuff you need to wait for the 12am in the midnight to be able to browse again
I’d like to remind people that 800mb is hardly a lot bandwidth for one day. You can easily get that much if you’re going to download a simple game client to play online games.
Boo. Ano raw sa SUN?
Boo. What’s SUN’s cap on it’s unlimited internet?
but if you max out your cap per day ay hindi ka na maka-connect, after 24 hours pa ulit.
Again, kinda misleading. They should just say it outright. P50/day for 800mb.
Siguro dapat bigyan natin ang mga telcos ng dictionary. Hindi kasi nila alam ang salitang UNLIMITED.
I’ve been using globe tattoo/supersurf and I thought that this 800MB cap was an inconvenience, pero reading your post about Smart Sir Abe, parang mas ok pa rin ang globe!
When you’re registered to supersurf50 (that’s for 1 day) and you reach the 800mb limit, you can just “unregister” and use the internet on their normal, metered rates. Don’t know what will happen if you’re registered for more than 1 day and you reach the day’s limit.
Much better than smart….
wala metro kasi disconnected so meter is not running,
nice slogan by Globe, di na sila nahiya!
seems fair enough, 800mb a day is more than sufficient.
i think globe knows that 800mb per day sucks thats why they didnt put it as the name of the promo or even as a slogan of this promo. they knew it themselves that it may cost them the market if the consumers immediately know that it has an 800mb cap, its an obvious turn off.
