Globe: ‘Faster internet possible’

Listen to article

Globe, one of the country’s biggest telcos, said in a statement that it could activate over 16 terabits per second of international bandwidth, which it noted would “satisfy the market’s hunger for faster internet services.”

According to Globe CEO Ernest Cu, Globe’s biggest hurdle is its “long-running issue over the large number of permits needed at the local government unit level and the slow pace of processing”. This is contrary to what government regulators said that there’s only 2 Tbps combined capacity available from Globe and PLDT Inc.

Globe noted that it could only use “less than” 3 Tbps, or just 19 percent of the available figure.

Cu also added that they have repeatedly called on the government to help address the said issues that are common at the local government level.

“Our biggest hurdle in delivering consistently good internet [service] is the cumbersome number of permits and right of way issues that prevent us from building the last mile connectivity that would allow world class internet services to be enjoyed by the ordinary household or any person using a mobile phone,” said Cu.

It is possible. Start by blocking torrent sites and removing your free data promos for Prepaid subscribers. Those are the users who are congesting the networks.

For average user na kagaya ko okay naman na 3G lang sya. Ang nakakainis lang eh mahal na nga, liit pa ng bandwidth! Tubong lugaw amputa! -_-

Globe once said, let us interconnect with PLDT so that our internet will be faster. After a long while pumayag si PLDT. Anyare? Ambagal pa rin ng Globe. Tapos eto na naman. Reklamo na lang ng reklamo? Sisihin sa kung anu-ano?

If there’s a will, there’s a way.

That is where leadership skills come in.

If they can grasp what I meant.

Andun na tau sa hindi mareach up to last mile, pero ang pinaguusapan dito is “faster internet connection”. Bakit di mo muna simulan sa mga existing subs na nkaaaccess na ng service nyo? Ilang percent lang nman mga potential subs sa last mile na yan kesa sa mga existing subs. Pabilisin mo muna (globe) ung service nyo bago ka magcomplain. Hirap sa inyong mayayaman puro pera lang ang habol nyo samin eh. Hihintayin nyo pang magkaroon ng third player bago iimprove service nyo. By the way, Im a former Globe postpaid subscriber, umabot pa ng 4 years na nakaline sa Globe bago ko narealize yung bulok na internet at palpak na customer service ng globe. Di pa counted yung mga charges nila sakin na kahit nakasaksak na sa dumb phone yung sim (na puro call and text lang naman ako) eh may charge pa ng additional data. Good luck nalang sau.

Why not report to the president if that is the case of delay faster internet. Or you are not really doing your application to secure such requierements.
