Leaked: Globe to offer Internet TV, cheaper DSL prices

In a leaked document we received today from an anonymous source, it looks like Globe is going to introduce their very own Internet TV bundled with a lower DSL price for residential subscribers.

A copy of what could be confidential documents from Globe, it is finalizing deals with media companies to bundle IPTV subscriptions with up 70 channels. This supports the story that a potential Globe and ABS-CBN alliance is being worked out and was first reported as early as November 2012.

Both regular DSL and Fiber subscriptions will have reduced monthly subscription fees (MSF). “Tattoo Torque (the brand Fiber service) will be killed and be integrated to Tattoo@Home for unification“, adds our source.

The price drops for monthly subscriptions are very dramatic with Plan 1099 for 10Mbps with free landline, Plan 1299 for 20Mbps, Plan 1499 for 30Mbps, Plan 2099 for 40Mbps, Plan 3099 for 70Mbps and Plan 4099 for 100Mbps.

For plans 2099 and up, it comes with free landline and Internet TV subscription (70 channels). Plan 1299 and up comes with free landline as well.

What’s more surprising is that they will introduce a Plan 299 with up to 1Mbps, the cheapest DSL plan ever.

Of course, we assume this is only applicable to areas where Globe’s fiber lines are available. If they can offer unlimited LTE of up to 42Mbps on their iPhone 5 plans for Php999 SuperSurf, these new plans are likely to be true.

Word of caution — these are just leaks and rumors so don’t bet on it until we get a final confirmation.

Update: Just got a call from Globe rep stating that these plans are not true. Oh well. It would have been really good for Globe if it were!

In any case, it’s technically not true because it’s in the proposal stage and have not been approved. Until this proposal is approved, we cannot confirm the veracity of this leak.

      Billy, You are right, when I was still in the Philippines, the service of PLDt was really worse, I dont know now???. I am now a Globe subscriber for more than 1 year.

      Internet here in New Zealand is very expensive but the service is really fast, that for all wireless companies operating here.

    Dito sa amin (eastern part of Davao Oriental), may na-notice akong kasalukuyang tinatrabaho ng Globe. I just heard from a friend they are offering 3 in 1 package – Internet, Cable TV and telephone line. I don’t know if this true. Kung mangyaring mang totoo, I would be very grateful kasi makapag-blog na ako using a faster internet.

    Dapat tawagin na lang ang website na Chikka Minute Tech. Kahit sinong mokong pwede mag imbento ng balita then sabihin na hindi pala totoo kapag nakakuha na ng page views.

    … so why is this article still here? Will someone please take it down already!

    • Avatar for ThinkFirstPlease ThinkFirstPlease says:

      Use your brain it’s free.

      There are readers who already saw the article that’s why you can’t just take it down. Same principle with ‘Erratum’ emails , I suppose you know that one if not google it.

    • Avatar for trololol trololol says:

      others who read this article earlier will have the benefit to know that it’s just a rumor that’s why yuga/writer just add an update to the article.

    • Avatar for Justin Justin says:

      @ThinkFirstPlease: F**k you, mister high and mighty! Whatever you wish to call it, it’s still NOT TRUE. Therefore SHOULD BE REMOVED! Jacka$$!

    • Avatar for ThinkMcFlyThink ThinkMcFlyThink says:

      Justin, please stop being a moron. Just stop.

      There’s a reason this article was filed under “rumors.” In case you’re too stupid to understand, when something is classified as a rumor there is always the chance that it may or may not be true.

      So you’re saying that just because the rumor was debunked Yugatech should remove the news item immediately without informing their readers that the rumor in question was proven to be false?

      “Common sense? ‘Di na uso ‘yan!!”

      Siguro si Justin eh taga Globe, and siya yung nagsubmit kay yuga ng confidential document. Ngayon natatakot siyang mahuli ng Globe. HAHA
