Globe DSL switches from daily to monthly data caps

There is an online petition that was created for this:

http://www.yugatech.com/telecoms/globe-dsl-switches-from-daily-to-monthly-caps/

BTW Yugatech, please include in your write-up that if an EXISTING subscriber updates his/her plan, he/she will be automatically migrated to the new data cap schemes!

I just switched from Smart bro canopy to Globe Tattoo plan 1599. Better faster and reliable. So far, i haven’t experienced data capping kahit Diablo ako errday! Or kahit mag stream ng dance videos.

ahahaha. alam na this. from 3gb per day, naging 10gb per month. kaya nga nag DDSL yung mga tao kasi ayaw nila ng mababang data capacity, tapoz ngayon 10gb per month? para sa heavy user 3-5 days lang ubos na yan ahahaha ayos yan globe. abot mo ang mundo ahaahaa

i woluld only say that philippines has the most expensive internet service in the world!!!! these all telco companies are robbing us in the bright light of the day,, when pilipino people will wake up and take some actions ??????

please google about cost of the internet in other countries and you will find it out…

Heavy users eat up most of the bandwidth allocation for other customers that’s why I’m all for data capping. Isipin niyo na lang, bumili kayo ng isang box ng donuts hati hati sa bayad pero ung matakaw naka tatlo!? Dapat lang i cap yan!

How is this better than PLDT/Smart? I’m currently on PLDT MyHome DSL and I am able to download everything I waant to download without worrying about all this data cap nonsense. (And that’s at a 500kbps max speed on torrent downloads which I know is not that fast but it is a DSL so I get a consistent and relible connection. Plan 1099 by the way)I know some people complain about downtimes in PLDT’s service but personally I haven’t experienced it yet.

yan ang globe! papaputol ko na un line ko dyan. kahit mag bayad ng termination fee.

support the link nalang para naman kahit papaano may boses tayong mga subs. boycott na talaga ako sa mga telco plans. unless ibalik nila un unlimited without throttling.

pinaka masasagasaan neto eh yung mga computer shops, imaging 20-50 computers sabay sabay nag youyoutube… nako mga 10-15 days lang cap na….

Kahit papaano mas okay na to sa Smart at PLDT! 500 GB per month oks na. Dun sa kabila 10 GB-18 GB lang haha no thanks. Sa Globe parin ako

Capping? Ppffttt. I use Sky. So yeah, no cap. ????

“Once the caps are reached, the line is then throttled to 64Kbps”

patay tayo dyan… di hamak na maganda ang sa Home bro Ultera 999 pag cap ka na +/- 900kbps

Para sa mga bagong subscribers naman pala to eh. Hindi pa ako nakaranas ng data cap sa internet ko

… WHAT THE FUCK!!! (it needs to be said and check below to understand why)

dami ata pakawala ang globe dito :) .. anyway.. medyo overkill ata yung plan.. parang sinabi nila na wag ka mag youtube o mag streaming, surf, social , at hooq lang gamitin mo.. ok lang mag cap sa mobile internet, pero sa wired dsl.. medyo di ok.. ano yung upgrade na ginawa nila na pinagyayabang ng globe.. upgrade sa system para pang capped, hays.. lumalala na… sana mag karon talaga ng 3rd or 4rt player sa internet, para magkaron ng maraming pagpilian..

Wow… This is becoming worst from bad. I’m currently paying 999 for 3mbps 7gig per day data cap.

meron nang petition ng going around social media yesterday. eto ung link oh.

https://www.change.org/p/globe-telecom-trash-the-new-globe-tattoo-home-dsl-plans

am i seeing it correctly that 2mbps is php999 and 1mbps is php1099?

Pati Smart prepaid throttled na. Baka bumalik na lang ako sa cable TV at lagyan ko ng TV tuner ang PC to record shows. Walang kwenta mga telco sa Pilipinas!

So for the new subscribers na may 10gb ang download limit..

Youtube + Facebook users will eat it up within weeks of usage.. (buti kung weeks lang)

Office workers working on a budget net will cease to work, pano ka mag ttrabaho ng mabute kung capped net ng buong office sa 64kbps..

Gamers will suffer because normally the Triple A games now have atleast 10gb worth of data that needs to be downloaded.. eg: 11gb for skyrim 80gb for Elder Scrolls Online..

8 months mo dodownload yung game..

Imba brains :v well old user naman ako so di ako affected, worried lang ako sa future ng new subscribers..

Although okay naman yung offer nila sa 25gb net with 100gb limit and above not all can afford it..

Hope they do something about this weird caps..

senator bam aquino is also raising the issue on the slow internet connection in the country..according to some sources, Japan has the fastest internet connection in Asia..grabe! tayo ang pinakakulelat! :(

Calling anonymous hacking team. Once again its your time to shine!

It is as if they want their customers to jump ship. No one in their right mind would agree to this. I think we will see a steep decline in their subscription in the coming months.

At least they announced this, PLDT quietly reduced ULTERA’s 30% after daily volume limit speed to 256 kbps. And they don’t mention this to new subscribers.

Kapal muks ng Globe. Kala ko pa naman for the better yung upgrade nila. This is ridiculous. I am encouraging everybody to drop your Globe internet plans kung meron kayong ibang option para maramdaman nila na hindi talaga tayo masaya.

Wawa naman ung mga nagwowork online. Oh wait. May smart at pldt pa pala. Sana hindi ito gayahin ng PLDT.

Wag na magreklamo. Magswitch na lang tayo. :)

To put it in perspective here’s a quick math for the PhP1k plan:
2Mbps = 244Kilobytes/sec download speed
10Gigabytes / 244 Kilobytes = 40,983.6066
40,983.6066 secs / 60 = 683 minutes
683 minutes / 60 = 11.38 hours

You can only run your connection at full speed for a little under half a day every month. Or around 22 minutes per day.

Paano ba imonitor ang bandwidth? Paano ko malalaman na malapit na maubos ung alloted data?

Pagsinabi kasi’ng “upgrade” ibig sabihin nyan magiimplement sila ng system to get more money. Kaya huwag na kayo’ng umasa na may pagbabagong maganda sa subscription nyo. Pinipirahan lang kayo.

so did anyone ask the customer service?

tinanong ko kasi kanina. implemented na din daw ito sa existing subscribers….

PANGIT NMAN PAANO NA UNG MAY SA COMPUTER SHOP O PC CAFE NA 5 MBPS LNG MARAMING MAG RRECLAMO NYAN AT LILIPAT SA IBANG NETWORK PROVIDER

Xeno:

I’m calling on their rep most about billing and calling plans only

I am using pldt home dsl. No capping and connection is consistent at 2mbps, anytime of the day. Di tulad ng globe at smartbro na may oras na mabilis at mas marami oras na mabagal.

Nag sign na ko sa petition sa change.org, dahil kahit old subscriber ako, alam kong greedy masyado ung bago nilang plans, kahit alam kong unaffected ako ng change(kasi old subscriber) pero itong hapon na to, tinawagan ako ng globe. isa isa na daw nilang pino.force migrate and mga lumang subscribers para makasabay sa upgraded “towers” nila. pwede namang mag decline, pag nag decline ka estimate one month time mawawala net, kasi I phe.phase out na nila mga old “lines” nila and kailangan mong mag upgrade ng line from a globe center(free upgrade pag nag yes ka sa call nila, may bayad na upgrade mo pag sa globe service center). After nito kinausap ko isang globe service center the same lang sinabi nila. so bottomline globe or not globe. :(

I’ll put my addition to this rant. As a Software Engineer who works from home, We were waiting on PLDT to give us a line. Well, 2-3 weeks later still no line. So my wife went ahead and signed us up with Globe 5mbps. As typical here in a provincial area the reps who came over to sell/setup the plan didn’t speak very good english so I let my wife handle the setup. Everyone was telling her it is unlimited internet (which is true it is unlimited), but they failed to mention it is not unlimited 5mbps. Which I did not find out until one day after doing a huge download of some tools I need to do my work I discover my connection was now at a slow crawl that I couldn’t even use my connection while I was downloading my tools.

So I called globe to complain about my slow internet and then I find out there is a 10gb/day cap. Coming from the US I have never heard of a cap much less a cap at 10gb. I asked if they have any plans that don’t have a cap, then she started talking about these monthly caps.

The daily caps are for sure much better than the monthly! 10GB/day, at full speed means I get 300+GB/month of full speed net. Now I see some of the monthly caps at what? 10GB – 70GB (unless you go plat) With a max of 500GB for their best plan! They are capping their best plan?

If this was mobile, fine I get it. But to lock down a wired connection like this is a pure rip off. I mean, I cannot work on this kind of line. I have to do video conferencing daily, I am constantly pushing and pulling code and website assets, watching research videos etc..

This does not work for me, and the fact that they have no solution even if the customer has the money to pay for it is out right stupid. I mean come on, if you are going to put us in bondage at least let us pay to get out of it. I don’t care if it’s an extra 1-3k/month I just need to be able to work.

Get your act together globe, and stop ripping people off. PLDT may be slow to respond, or have worse customer support per say. But I am not paying to talk to someone on the phone, I am paying for internet service. Period.

My Verdict: I should have waited for PLDT =/

globe subscriber ako for 6 years walang2x akong problema sa internet except sa landline, no slow downn, desconnection of interent, play online games, download hd movies except ma reach mo na daily data cap….. pero itong bagong internet bundle plan nila iwan kulang sobrang kapal ng mukha ng globe grabe… mga mukhang pera..

babalik paba sa dting 256kbps speed ng net ko after midnight? naconsume ko agad ung data cap ko ee.
plan 1299 3mbps ung akin.

The service of Globe is really substandard. Recently we had a problem with our internet connection; we are in plan 2399 (not so sure) 10 MBP. Supposedly we should receive 10 mbps, but we are just receiving 0.4 mbps; My God mabilis pa ang mobile data ko. Then we called for a technician to check it out; the costumer service representative had issued a job order for the next day; di naman nagpunta… I have waited for the technician to come, because I had promised my costumers to come back after lunch, upon the technician had fixed the error. Wala, walang dumating kahit anino, kundi pa tatawagan ulit, tapos sasabihin nyo kung pwede bukas. Bakit sa inyo ba pwedeng tumawad ng pwedeng bukas na magbayad kasi wala kaming kita pa ! week kayang walang connection Com Shop namin. What kind of service that, paki explain lab u.
