#Globe Upgrade for Php600

Just got an early morning call today from a Globe representative telling me that my subscription is eligible for an upgrade to 400Mbps from the old 100Mbps by adding only Php600 in my monthly service fee. I've had this subscription since 2016 so I'm out of the lock-in period, there will be no new contractual period for this upgrade. Since there isn't really a standard 400Mbps plan in Globe's current line-up, I think this upgrade is a custom one for subscribers who are stuck with the old 100Mbps/Php2,899 plan from years back. From a business standpoint, this is the most logical path -- the 500Mbps standard plan is a bit far off (Php4,999 from Php2,899) for an upgrade while the new 300Mbps plan (at Php2,699) would result in a reduced MSF of Php200 if Globe had to upgrade the plan (100Mbps/2,899 -> 300Mbps/2699). So I said yes and now waiting for the new speed upgrade. Globe started offering their new prepaid and postpaid plans for Visibility back in June 23 when we first reported it here. One curious question here though is why is Globe abandoning the eat-all-you can model for mobile 3G internet? 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%.
