Homebase plan?! Soubds doubious and misleading if to say the least. The name itself first gives you the impression that it’s for homebased jibs, but then you scroll down and find these business requirements. Lol!
What if they offer P1000 for 50mbs since they offer 100mbps for P1500. Imagine almost all of the customer of the other fibr internet provider will switch to converge because a lot of Filipino is nagtitipid.
Does this plan allow for port forwarding with a dynamic ip address? Since it doesn’t mention a static ip
It specifically mentions in the website:
“Dynamic IP address is provided for all HomeBase packages.”
How is this different from the standard fiberx 1500 if its just the same dynamic ip and no port forwarding is allowed? Is it just a way to bypass red tape as a small business to use “business grade” internet?
