Globe Telecom clarifies P2P Issues

what?.. 60% of bandwith is used by P2P.. then by all means globe should not put a cap to bandwith for P2P user.. eh baka kaya may subscriber lang ang dsl not only for Globe.. but also for other provider is because of P2P..

Abusive usage? I say what the heck is that?

Every customer who pays DSL from their hard earned money should have the freedom how they use it. They’re paying for it, simple as that.

Instead of capping the user’s bandwith they should improve their network to accomodate P2P users.

Globe should clarify what “abusive usage” means and they also should explain that portion of the service agreement that says they’re restricting P2p download speeds to 20% of a user’s subscription plan.

Bandwidth capping will only bring misery and unsatisfied customers. And do take note that not only P2P sharing is illegal as new websites use torrent technology to stream videos online ;-)

Better file Globe Broadband Internet Service Complaints!

yun lang..

do you want to complain them then make an appeal yun lang…

go to NTC too..

Nahihiya ba kayo mag-komplain!!!

kung makikitanyu yung post ko labs ko ang Globe DSL.

i pay for 512kbps subscription

globe provides 512kbps or less

so what the f**k does that mean globe? how do i become an abusive user if i download from P2P with my 512kbps subscription? huh? huh?

what the heck Globe not capping at this freakin time?! if you have plans then say it now so i could move on with other dsl provider who provides better service anyway!

booo! kung hindi nila kaya ang p2p lilipat na lang kami ng internet provider

sounds like the one they have in UK…. it says unlimited but then under the hood they will capped your bandwidth… Hay one day we all be paying the internet by meter.

oo nga.hindi abusive ang customers na nag-pp2p dahil ang binabayaran naman nating speed ay NEVER naaabot as promised ng mga advertisements nila. Sila nga ang abusive kung tutuusin dahil hindi nila tinutupad ang promise speed sa price na binabayaran natin. i think this is true to most ISPs, if not all.

Yuga, thanks for the update. I (like most internet whores) rely on people like you for updates regarding these rumors (and I almost believed them)!

Although, it is possible they were “testing the waters”.

I hope we get more updates regarding this.

I never signed anything informing me about these limits and I don’t expect to experience such.

Thanks again Yuga. More power!

It’s better to switch providers if Globe continues to put a cap on the bandwidth. And they should be sued for marketing their service as unlimited.

found this scanned copy of Globe contract. It’s going to be permanent

Yeah, Globe sucks! They shouldn’t have said that they offer “Unlimited Broadband” if they would cap on the bandwidth! (I’m using their Wireless Broadband 512kbps because their Wired Broadband 1mbps is not yet available in our area). And speaking of bandwidth, they are misleading people too!! And unfortunately I’m one of the victims of this scheme. They’re saying kbps, but hell, if you’ll check it twice, their “kbps” means “kilobits per second”. I really thought its “Kilobytes per second”. Kaya pala “kbps” at di “Kbps” ang nakalagay sa advertisement. (idamay na rin yung mbps, “megabits per second” pala yun!). At NTC, please naman, kailangan pa bang pukpukin bago kumilos! You might not get a lot of complaints but hindi yun dahilan para di kumilos! O baka naman may nabibigyan ng “lagay” diyan sa NTC at di magawan ng paraan.. huh?

chill guys just change the port in which you run bittorent :)

may internet connection has been down for about a week now, now i know why… dl speed 10kbps… boring

abusive users? or maybe overbooking? check out my post below to fully understand the situation. ISPs always suffered with this and also the subscribers, lol…

private ba or public ang IP address ng mga subscriber ni GlobeDSL?

if it’s private then, it is probably p2p is causing the slow internet connection due to flooding the NAT table of the router since P2P uses too many network connections for every subscriber.

any update on the contract yuga?

well, this is my own opinion. Abusive in the sense that you are using the dsl connection in downloading mp3,games or software from different P2P website, software and alike rapidshare, limewire(etc.) for profit.I guess that is what the globe mean for abusive internet usage. Well, I read one of the comments that says they are “paying for their hard earned money”, but how about the people spending lots and lots of money hiring the best programmers to create such program and all of a sudden disseminate using P2P? I am not trying to post this because I am not using even once a pirated software or played pirated mp3, just want to share the sense responsibility. PEACE!

GLOBE IS CAPPING YOUR BANDWIDTH…SO DOES SMART!

GLOBE = (DUMB) CAP YOUR STOCKHOLDERS!
NOT THE PEOPLE WHO PAYS FOR YOUR SERVICE!
THATS OUR MONEY YOU DUMBASS!

SMART = (DUMMIES) THEY JUST STARTED THEIR CRAPPY

CAPPING CAMPAIGN, THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT THEIR CLIENTS, ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS MAKING THEIR STOCKHOLDERS FAT!

Globe has charged me P 2,400 plus last month for alleged internet usage on my cellphone, which I did not use. After appealing to them, they waived the charges. This month they charged me again, for this month’s alleged usage, but I still haven’t used the Internet on my cellphone. Now they are insisting that I pay. I can prove that I didn’t use the Internet on my cellphone, but they won’t listen. This is unfair! I’m not the only one who has been having this problem.

My theory about the disappearing prepaid load: It’s being shaved off my alleged “Internet usage,” and since you’re on prepaid, there’s no bill to check.

this is a fact. para lang malaman nyo(mga taong wala paki sa capping at love na love ang isp sa pinas). if you want to prove this try nyo mg.apply bilang tech supprt agent sa smart. this is not the plug it only but also with people with the motorola antenna. you will know that many areas in luzon are experiencing slow connection. this is because the base station/tower in the area is very congested. like if a tower can support 100 subscribers, smart is accepting 500 subs under that tower. and do you know what they want us agent tell the customers? this “we are currently upgrading our systems….” or “cge po maam we will forward this to our techs in the field” pero walang mangyayari.
MAN! WHY CAN’T OUR GOVERNMENT DO SOMETHING? THEY LOOK AT THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE. NOT THOSE “BUWAYAS”.

no matter what new technology u introduce still all telco companies can’t offer a true high speed internet connection unless u ought to fix ur connection 3ft underground with the gate way server!and do u think i’ll believe u when u say u dont use bangdwidth capping?!oh come on,,,it’s just so easy to tell lies to the end users ryt?!but for people who know about ur deeds ur dead men!how can u possibly not use bangdwidth capping when the gate way is just giving u for exmple just 10mbps and u hav more than 20 end users in a specific location?!ur making money, more money out of the ignorance of ur end users!
