Anybody trusts the Nielsen Company surveys?

i believe that Globe is the fastest wireless internet provider in the country. why? 1st, it is not congested like Smart. 2. i have tried smart, it’s so slow like a dial-up in most areas that i went to, unlike globe that you get descent speed.

when it comes to 3g coverage, smart is the winner.

I believe that Globe is the best Internet Service Provider. I hate PLDt and smart. pangit kasi ng experience ko sa kanila. super slow ang internet. Sa globe they promised up me to 2mbps sa plan 1290 ko, at sa speedtest ko dito, lumalagpas pa nga ng 2MBPS eh. im so happy with globe

For 10 yrs i’m a globe subscriber. i recently switch to smart postpaid after i tried their prepaid sim internet connection which is a lot faster and reliable than globe’s connection. Like globe’s service personnel their connection is unreliable. And yes, my monthly dues got cheaper too. Smart is the way to go.

A slight issue with the title of the blog post, it sounds like you’re putting the blame on the third-party research agency when it seems like your issue is with clients who release these results for public consumption. It makes market research looks less credible when the whole point of outsourcing research like this is to lessen or even eliminate bias, even towards the company that commissioned the study.

first of all, Globe has all the right to commission a survey. second, no one outside Globe has a say on what to do with Globe’s resources. third, commenting about the issue only makes you look bitter, its no secret yugatech blog is sponsored by SMART thus the biased opinion against Globe. wag mag deny coz we all know that. peace!

For over 7 yrs with Globe broadband, pagka nindot kaayo ang serbisyo ilang gitahag kanako. There are times mo hinay pero naa man reason kung ngano nihinay, in other words, temporary lang kay naay gi update, etc…

Now, akong gi upgrade akong subscription to 3mbps @ 1,995.00 Pagka sulit kaayo ang akong gi bayad.

Ive tried sa 15 days trial sa Skycable to compare it with Globe , pastilan kalayu ra kaayo sa Globe, pwerting hinaya sa Skycable Broadband, within the day sa pag install, automatically akong gipa putol dayon on that same day ang 15 days trial, hehehehe. Maot kaayo ang skycable.

Regarding sa 3g, paspas kaayo ang Globe compared sa Smart, baling hinaya kaayo sa Smart ang 3g.

Among linya sa celfon Globe pud gihapon kay na compare gyud nako mas maayo ang serbisyo sa Globe.

Useless surveys bakit hindi nalang sila gumawa ng poll sa facebook less gastos pa, kalokohan

Globe is the best. Not only with internet connection but with signal as well. sa province namin paduguan para magka-1 bar ng signal pag smart e hindi naman sya sulok ng mundo. pero globe, buong buo. ewan ko kung saan nakuha ng Smart yung idea na nationwidest sila. Globe subscriber for 7 years here.

Surveys like those always have a degree of error depending on the number of respondents. Despite this, they are generally reliant and are mostly used as reference in business decisions nowadays. The reason why Globe published is simple: they can afford to because they lead. Don’t show your prejudice publicly; you’re the one losing credibility.

As for me, I have tried 3 networks and it really depends on the location if its fast or slow. AS for PLDT, mabagal din but at least di naman lagi nagdidisconnect. And Nielsen already had a case leakedd before on the surveys right? So at times, kahit ok un survey, try it for yourself.

Yuga, perhaps Nielsen’s results were influenced, perhaps not. Hard to tell.

An off-topic comment – gosh Yuga your website is now peppered with ads, top, bottom right, everywhere! I miss the days when your website loads so fast. Today, whether on my netbook, ultrabook or power laptop, my browser struggles to load all the ads. Yes I know there are commercial needs that must be met. But must it be done to the point that the user experience is crippled? Feedback lang po. Maybe some ads, but not tons of ads.

IMHO, Smart is better when it comes to coverage… but quality-wise, Globe excels. I’ve been a DSL subscriber for 5 years now and they have a very reliable service in our area. Mobile browsing has improved much but this depends on where I’m at. They also have loyalty rewards now for broadband subscribers though not as tempting as their postpaid.

This site is all about business. Pera pera lang depende sa sponsor niya. Hehe!

There’s a saying that goes “you shall not bite the hands that feed you”. But that does not mean you should bite the hands of your master’s enemy. You’re putting your reputation at risk here by showing how biased you are to PLDT. I’m happy TechPinas is the most-viewed tech blog in the Philippines, maybe you should consider TP’s neutrality as a challenge.

Anyway, surveys may have science/math/logic behind it but surveyees only represent a part of the whole target population. You may or may not experience the same service they answered to these surveys. Internet speed depends mostly on location-specific factors like signal and congestion so it’s better to try different ISPs and finally choose what suits you best.

“The catch here is that Globe was also the one who paid for the survey done by the Nielsen Company.”

That was one amateurish comment, and one that stretches nay mars Yuga’s credibility. While I may agree with some ideas in the article, I think this is one thought Abe should have kept to himself. Casting a doubt on Nielsen in this way hurts his reputation even more.

I cannot speak about the parameters of this particular survey. But what I know is that companies like Nielsen utilizes methodologies that while not perfect, are sound and generally recognized across competitor lines. Their reputation and company’s status is tied to the perceived reliability of their surveys.

Yugatech has not yet reached that status. And this is why Abe should be careful in implying such things.
