Original copy of NTC’s Report on Globe vs. Smart

Of all the 5 tests that NTC has conducted, only 1 test shows that Globe has an edge over Smart and that is the Grade of Service. That doesn’t mean that Globe is better than Smart if that would be their basis.

Yun naman pala eh.
Lagi na lang bang waiting?
This is fast phasing life!
Live Fast.. Live More!
Di pwedeng wait ng wait!
Time to change!

Wow for once we heard from NTC

Nice work NTC for monitoring these telcos, we should have reduced rate now for our calls and text due to poor results of the telcos while we pay full price that is based 10++ years ago

Funny…

On both Networks, may pending Technical Support Tickets kami, regarding 3G connection.

Sa Globe, FULL BAR ka nga ng 3G, pero mas masahol pa sa Dial up ang connection.

Sa Smart naman, simula noong humagupit ang habagat, humagupit rin ang Intermittent 3G Signal.

Pareho silang mabagal sumagot, pareho silang sinisisi ang aming mga telepono/3g sticks pero bakit pag SUN ang isinasaksak ko at lumalabas ako ng bahay, NORMAL ang speed. (Accepted ko na walang signal ang SUN sa amin, kasi saksakan talaga ng layo samin ng cellsite ng SUN).

Sinubukan ko na ang lahat ng maaaring ipagawa sakin, kahit lumabas na ako ng bahay.

Sa Globe naman, ang sabi, 3.1 kilometers daw ang layo ko sa cellsite nila, gayong KITANG KITA ko naman, around 700 meters ang layo sa bahay namin ang TOWER ng GLOBE.

you know who’s more a looser in this debate? the consumer.

Limited choice or no choice at all for better quality service.

paano kaya kung may pumasok na foreign telco dito para bumilis narin internet… makapag average lang sana kahit 6mbps ok na.

Sa tingin ko hindi naman intensyon ng Globe (via their press release) na i-misinterpret ang results ng test na ginawa ng NTC. I think what they meant was that, their “Legacy Network” (READ: Old network equipments) is performing “in parity” with Smart’s widely publicized “Upgraded” (READ: Modernized) network.

In short, Globe must have been so proud to learn that their legacy network performed “in parity” and even managed to outperform Smart’s upgraded network in 1 of the 5 test metrics conducted by the NTC.

At least yun yong naiintindihan ko after kong mabasa ang press release ng Globe at naiintindihan ko kung bakit proud na proud sila don.

Pero para sa akin, mas okay pa rin pag ginawa nilang nationwide ang tests. At saka, mas okay din sana na sinali nila yung Sun Cellular dyan kasi hindi naman sa lahat ng cell sites ng Smart may access ang Sun Cellular sims. I can say that with confidence kasi I am from Cebu City and found out that Sun Cellular still uses its own cell sites here rather than using Smart’s cell sites. Di ko lang alam kung dyan sa Manila, ginagamit ng Sun Cell yung sites ng Smart.

i was a SMART user for 4 years but just lately i switched to Globe because SMART really sucks! Load-eater + unnecessary charges! Aside from the unstable signal strength, i never experienced any other problem. i’m patient enough though to wait for Globe’s complete modernization.
