In an press release sent to us by Globe Telecom, the company has clarified that existing subscribers will not be affected by the changes introduced in their broadband plans. This is in response to our report yesterday about the new data scheme.
Globe clarified that the new Tattoo Home broadband plans are consumable data plans designed for new customers who prefer exclusive content such as HOOQ, NBA and Spotify along with their plans.
Since the consumable plans have corresponding monthly data allowance, they are not subjected to any capping. Customers will only pay for what they use, and may also opt to add a volume boost should they need extra data for as low as P50. Customers are also eligible to avail of an additional 50GB on top of their base plan data allowance to allow them to right-size their data plan according to their actual consumption as part of a 3-month test program.
Only new broadband subscribers will automatically be subscribed to the data caps. Consequently, old or existing subscribers who will upgrade/downgrade their plans will also be migrated to the new data limits.
