SunCell Subscriber says:
I actually started to experience better mobile data speeds with Globe’s LTE. From 15Mbps peak to 32Mbps peak in Q.C.
And it’s actually more reliable now than our Globe DSL 3Mbps subscription. I’m getting 90ms (LTE) vs. 220ms (DSL) latency on DOTA 2’s SEA servers. What happened with our DSL subscription Globe?
Red says:
Gumagana po ba lte ng globe sa T-Mobile Note 3? kasi sinearch ko na 1800 band lang ang gamit ng globe? e 2100 lang po meron ang phone ko.
jabroni says:
yup, even TM (Globe’s little sister company) mobile internet has improved not only in terms of speed but also stability as well… meanwhile, smart and sun…. zzZzZZZZZzz !!!
Easy E says:
Speaking of Sun and Smart, yung data ng sun subscribers ay pwersadong niro-roam sa smart network at pag nangyari yun, good luck sa connection mo. Mas maganda pa para sa akin ang Sun kesa sa Smart. Pero wala na yung totoong unli ng sun sa data.
NotASheep says:
i wonder how many people actually know what ROAMING is.
Hentai Kamen says:
you get 42mbps speed that will last only in minutes due to capping..
Easy E says:
Baka yung mga walang alam sa GSM theory ang di nakakaalam sa konsepto ng “ROAMING”. Nakakatawa.
Chester says:
Dito samen sa Batangas Province Walang LTE.. Bagal Internet… kelan kaya mag kakaron
Anon says:
1. iba po yata yung T-Mobile sa TM.
2. ROAMING pag nakigamit ka ng ibang network kesa sa Home network ng SIM mo.
Toyds says:
Hopefully globe will also put the towers in provinces not just in the cities.I cannot get any globe signal(2G,3G,for sure even 4G) in Lilo-an Cebu City
jelo says:
Hope we can have now a reliable net signal in paliparan1 dasma cavite
jaybee says:
Useless ang dami ng cellsites kung di nmn fiber ang naka connect sa mga tower. .LTE SIGNAL NGA PERO EDGE ANG SPEED.
Carlo says:
dito sa cubao Q.C ganun pa din Edge pa nga lagi. along edsa pa naman kami sa TPI building.
EDU says:
Happy April Fools Day!
Rob says:
Ang smart sa pasay, 3g lang ang signal minsan E pa. Sana umaksyon din
Doorbell says:
Dito sa Paliparan1 Dasma Cavite dial-up speed pa rin..
omar1234ph says:
@yuga, where can I find a list of areas where globe LTE is available? I want to find out of my area here in the provinces has been upgraded or if the LTE is available.
paolo says:
I’m not feeling Globe to be honest. Ever since they removed the truly unlimited gosurf plans and mandated capped data plans and apparently per MB charging (if 0.50p per MB, the latest update to Instagram for example will cost you 7P (14mb) Which is ridiculous to say the least.
I got a Smart bro plan with truly unlimited data with decent 4g for 1000 monthly, and I’m content with it, simply because I have TRULY unlimited data. As I type this, I’ve used 21GB data…
joshua chua says:
Good day globe sir. Coverage po ba ng 4g lte as of now ang Bacoor Cavite Brngy Sineguelasan . please do respond asap po salamat po more power
