#globe 50mbps

A poster given to one of the existing Globe Platinum Home Broadband confirms our earlier information about Globe's planned upgrade of the 50Mbps fiber line to just Php2,499. The poster below showed a discounted 50Mbps line to Php2,499 from Php4,999 for the first 12 months with a 24-month lock-in. Yesterday, we reported that the starting plan for fiber connection will be 50Mbps for a monthly subscription fee of Php2,499 and goes all the way up to 1Gbps for Php9,499 (November availability). This move is likely Globe's response to the ranking reports of broadband speeds in Asia. In a leaked document that we acquired just now, it looks like Globe Telecom is set to upgrade it Platinum Broadband Plans to higher bandwidth. The documents point to a 50Mbps unlimited connection for only Php2,499 while a 100Mbps line will be priced at Php3,499. The Platinum Home Broadband is Globe's fiber internet service that covers selected high-end subdivisions and condominiums (check all the areas covered with this plan here). This move could be Globe's effort to address the concern and while the new upgraded speeds only covers those areas with fiber connection, we should see more and more subscribers being able to upgrade to these speeds soon.
