Globe Telecom, in a response to the NTC last week, has revealed that they are planning to offer tiered pricing to their data plans in order to address the concerns regarding data caps imposed in recent weeks. In a report by PhilStar, Globe has responded to the NTC regarding the strict enforcement of their Fair Use Policy and revealed plans to offer subscribers several options to increase their data allocation. This confirms the previous information we gathered from a source inside Globe that some sort of bucket pricing will be offered soon. This direction is similar to the existing PowerSurf promo that Globe already has in place. Three weeks ago, Globe started enforcing their 4-year old FUP which sparked a lot of outrage from its subscribers. Around 30,000 to 60,000 or 3% of Globe's close to 2 million subscribers are affected by their FUP based on the 1GB/day or 3GB per month limit. Last week, Globe has actively enforced their FUP and monthly data caps. Both my Globe postpaid accounts have been hit (despite not getting the SMS notifications, yeah sucks).
