#globe network problems

A couple of days ago, Globe postpaid and prepaid subscribers have been experiencing problems making calls and sending text messages across the Metro. Globe then issued a statement explaining that the disruption was caused by a connectivity issue within their network systems. Note: We remember back in May 9, 2011, Globe also had a network disruption which prompted them to give back rebates to affected customers {see story here}. Globe has partnered with Grab to improve its mobile network by collecting real-world data from daily trips across Metro Manila. Eric Tanbauco, Vice President at Globe, said the partnership helps the company see real network performance and use the data to improve services. If it's true that 10% of subscribers are eating up imore than 10GB a month and overloading the network, it makes sense for Globe to sacrifice these 10% to improve network quality for the rest of the 90%.
