Globe plans to offer tiered pricing, top ups amid FUP

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. Once it is implemented, subscribers will be able to top up and increase their daily limit of 1GB to any allocation.

This direction is similar to the existing PowerSurf promo that Globe already has in place. The difference is that the top up is above the Php999 monthly unlimited internet of existing subscribers.

We still don’t have any exact information on the fees for the top up but we imagine it to be something like this:

Current Plan: Php999 unli data/internet @ 1GB daily limit

Top Up options:

Add Php299/month for additional 1GB/day limit (2GB daily total limit)
Add Php499/month for additional 3GB/day limit (4GB daily total limit)
Add Php999/month for additional 9GB/day limit (10GB daily total limit)

These are just examples but we will update you once the actual figures arrive.

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.

    Hi
    I think in this days to have a Data Cap of 1GIG a DAY is more unfair than fair, not to talk about 3GIG a Month??

    cranium gave a nice example for data usage, I just want to include my findings:
    Android OS update – 800MB
    App updates range – 20MB to 300MB
    (since I had an OS update from 4.1 to 4.3 all my Apps needed an update as well. I couldnt use the internet for about 10 days until all updates was done)

    Grafik driver (laptop) – 450MB
    latest Win7 update – ca. 1GIG
    Antivirus updates – from 20MB to 300MB
    and so forth.

    In the FUP they are talking that big file downloads only happen with torrents or peer to peer, but the normal user with a smartphone and a laptop need to update his apps right? So how this is possible with a DATA CAP of 3GIG a month?
    I don’t know!

    Hope globe will arrive soon in the 21st century and see that the Data Caps they are using are for usage 15 Years ago.

    Matagal pa akong magdudusa sa policy ng globe (24 months nitong dece,ber 2013 nag start), sana may gawin ang diyos para dito masyadong garapalan ang panloloko, sobra naman kung sa upcoming months ay ganito parin ang palakad ng globe… matuto naman silang maging patas sa consumers.

    Kung gusto niyo gumanti , wag na natin bayaran yung mga existing line natin, magpalit ng sim sa mga naka LTE Phones wag na bayaran yung plan tutal nasa atin na naman yung phone , kawawa naman tayong mga naka plan na 1799 and up LTE lakas makakain ng data yun !

    GLOBE napaka gold digger niyo

    I assume Globe is doing away with the 3 gig monthly limit.

    It doesn’t do much good to offer daily increases if, in short order, they slam you nose first into a monthly limit.

    Good morning po. pakisawsaw lang po sa issue na to.. sa mga die hard at employee ng Globe dyan paki sabi sa CEO nyong bulok na mag upgrade kayo ng Infrastructure every year kasi yong number of subscriber ay tumataas lang yan.

    Let say meron kayong 5 million subscriber both prepaid at postpaid(wireless) at yong capability ng infrastructure nyo ay 3-4 million lang? dun lang kayo babawi sa FUP na gimmick? (Fair & Unfair Policy) Mahiya naman kayo!
