kuya`dan says:
If i am globe.. I make 2499 unlimited hehehe.. the higher plan will be no caps at all… considering the fact that those users need “unlimited” will purchase this.. thus, making the higher plan “congestion free” meaning if you get higher plan it is actually free ^_^
jhepoyski says:
hmm bakit kaya hanggang jan 31 2013 lang ang unlimited ano kaya ang mangyayari after that date.
Ryan says:
cap really sucks.
jarod_0122 says:
@jhepoyski
Let me take a wild wild guess. On that date the an anterisk will precede the unlimited.
chrismun says:
after that 15GB cap what will happen? is it simillar to smart that it will be 450/GB after the cap?
Gerard says:
Not bad.
Give me a 20 Gb cap at 10 Mbps for 1.5k Php per month :).
Seriously, plans capped below 20 Gb feels unrealistic for casual use.
JP says:
How do we register?
voltea5 says:
15 gb/month won’t even last me 1wk..nakakaabot nga ko sa 100gb/month sa 2 mbps.pano pa sa 62.hehe
Jerk says:
15GB is a bit small for someone like me…
Anyway, unless they fix first their regular connections, I’m not impressed with these networks.
Good thing NTC will regulate the subscribers now due to tons of complaints being received.
killross says:
Sounds Promising, but I still want DSL connection. Internet Providers can provide faster than that, they just limiting what they will provide to the market.
John says:
Not bad. Much better than smart ! Live less !
NeutralGuy says:
I really don’t get it. Isn’t the speed 42Mbps is a DC HSPA+? LTE is theoretically up to 100Mbps, that said, LTE here should be up to 75 Mbps.
Boy Pick Up says:
That 42mbps speed during the event was just a promotional scheme, by the time you buy and use the item it will not reach even at 30mbps because of their inconsistent and unreliable network. And even if it reaches uo to 40mbps, it will always have a CAP or limit, like for the SMART LTE postpaid plan 3,500 with a cap of only 10GB/month. How can use maximize the use of the broadband if you put cap or limit with it use. B’LL Sh’T to Smart & Globe.
JP says:
Holy kamote the amount of self-entitlement in these comments is nothing short embarrassing.
gosago says:
Ang daming umaangal dito pero mukhang wala naman sila alam ksi simpleng pag gamit ng metric prefix hindi nila mai-apply. Ung mega nagiging milli at ung byte ginagawang bit.

OK na sana until I saw “*Unlimited browsing is until January 31, 2013 only, after which data volume cap will be implemented: 12 GB for Plan 1799 and 15 GB for Plan 2499.” Seriously, Globe? Sana kahit 50 GB minimum capped, OK na yun. For that price, it’s ridiculous!
Jenny says:
Pareho ba tung ng usb 4g flash? Kasi ganun yung gamit ko, 7.2mbps daw. Pero yung speed mabagal pa din. Sa umaga lang matino, umaabot ng 1mpbs. Kapag sa gabi, wala na, nakakagigil na net, aroun 100 kbps nalang sya. Lol. Signal based din ba ito? I mean, does it still vary on the signal and location of the subscriber? Thanks.

alam ko mostly pang surfing lng mga ganitong promo at gaming, this kind of product do not intend for downloading purposes.. most likely kasi dito sa pinas di naman legit ang mga pagdodownload, so i guess tama lng ganyang cap for marketing na rin ng mga telcos.
Blank says:
what’s 42mbps for if you cap at 15gb? it’s pure nonsense. what;s important is the speed after you hit the cap
