New Globe Tattoo Superstick goes up to 21Mbps

Looks like Globe has upgraded the speed of their Tattoo Superstick 4G to 21Mbps. Saw this ad last Monday on the newspaper for a new add-on or upgradable plan with the Tattoo 4G.

The promo goes like this:

When you get a regular Globe Tattoo Postpaid Plan 999, you pay a monthly service fee of Php999 a month. The promised speed here is up to 7.2Mbps.

You then get a free subscription to the online versions of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Yes!, Cosmo or FHM.

You now have the option to upgrade the Tattoo Stick to a Tattoo Superstick (the MyFi) for an additional Php150/month for 24 months. This allows you to share your WiFi to 5 devices at the same time. You still get up to 7.2Mbps here.

If you want to upgrade your speed to 12Mbps, just add Php100/month.

If you want to upgrade your speed to 15Mbps, just add Php150/month.

If you want to upgrade your speed to 21Mbps, just add Php200/month.

So, when you pick all the upgrades (i.e. Php999 for Stick + Php150 for Superstick upgrade + Php200 for 21Mbps upgrade), you’ll end up with a monthly service fee of Php1,349.

Not bad for a MyFi device with speeds of up to 21Mbps, right? Yes, it’s tempting.

Note though that Globe’s 4G label refers to their HSPA+ network so you’ll have to be within range of those towers in order to get the optimum speeds.

Also take note the lock-in period for this plan is 24 months.

    Hi guys! globe tattoo prepaid user here! dati, naka wimax kami. GRABEEEE! yun yung worst connection na naexperience namin. 1st minute-connected, 2nd to 10th minute-disconnected, tapos connected ulit. ganun ang drama.. But then, yung globe agent binigyan kami ng tip nung nag sign in kami. kapag daw hindi okay ang service, wag na lang namin bayaran, so ganun naman ginawa namin. IN SHORT, banned na yung name na ginamit namin sa globe. [hehehe! pero atleast di kami naglabas ni singko, for 3 useless months]

    then, right now, globe tattoo stick na yung gamit namin. yeah, hindi naman sinabing 7.2mbps exactly ang speed. it says UP TO 7.2mbps. ang nakakainis lang talaga is yung 800mb cap kaya puro surfing lang magagawa mo. pero kung gusto niyo magdownload or manood ng video, simulan niyo around 10pm, kasi by 12mn, narereset naman yun.. yun din ginagawa ko. hehe! :D

    may i ask? ahm my old friend got one of the superstick 4g.. ehm i believe its called “tatoo superstick mobile-wifi” – one of the picture shown above. so ah this kind of plan, is it totally unlimited? coz i remember he said ” one of the staffs told him that it was “1gb limit data consumption evry 24hours and when it reaches the limit the connection will be terminated for about 24hours” but when he got home and the postpaid sim was activated and he tested it, he actually exceeded upto 32gig data usage. the questions are, is it unlimited and the globe center staff should be called stupid? and another question is.. could it be possible that the exceeding usage would be charged upon billing or not because it is unlimited?

      What did you observe using the super stick mobile wifi? is it really unlimited? I am also planning to get this plan but they told me that the post paid of this plan is also covered with the fair usage policy. Please reply if it is unlimited so that i can apply for this one. Thanks.

    Adding to my frustrations with Globe is this story http://globe2366.blogspot.com/. I am sharing with you so in case you will also be given rebate by Globe, you know what to expect. Sigh…

    <— 5Mbps ang plan, 0.5 Mbps ang actual na nakukuha. Galing!

    I subscribed to globe tattoo superstick (pocket wifi). Ang promised speed if I am not mistaken is 7mbps but I am getting 1mbps or less for download and 0.21 to 0.35 max upload. This speed is the same saan man ako located — Makati, Eastwood or D Fort. Globe CS advised me to bring my unit (ZTE) for repair after several times of reporting the speed I was getting (wla daw kc problem ang globe, so it must be the unit daw). So I brought it to them for repair, and after almost two months I got it back, hooray! (If di pa ako nagalit di ko pa makukuha!) Sadly, the speed is the same. Take note I am paying Php 1,299 monthly subscription — do you guys know if there’s a way I can get the real value of my money? M really frustrated with globe, but I think I have to stick with them for 24 months (it’s in the contract) and it’s only my 5th month. :( (Sigh)

    Fools..if you are reading Globe’s conditions about their product they never said it would give 7.2 mbps or 21 mbps..it says UP TO..so read first before you accuse them of False Advertising.Plus there’s a lot of reason why it would not give that speed that you want..think about it..the number of users, your location..gees…consider that first..you took a chance of buying their product.. that’s all there is to it.

    Hi there, I’m really interested in this product specially in the 21 mbps promised speed. I am planning to change my current internet connection because it is so slow (0.2mbps PLDT Php990). But my mother subscribed to the PLDT PLUS Php250, and the contract will end on January 7, 2013. I really want to terminate our contract but because of the another Php250 contract we cannot terminate, we can only terminate the DSL connection and we will still be paying Php850 monthly. If we will terminate all our contract we will be paying Php2500 for the Php250 contract plus our current charge Php1249, all in all Php3749. I’m choosing between the Globe Tattoo Superstick 21mbps (Php1349) or the Globe DSL 2mbps with free landline(Php1299). I just want to know how fast is the speed you are getting so that I could choose between the two. I am living in Caloocan, Grace Park and I’ve heard that there are active 4G sites here. Thanks Guys.

    This is a lie. They will never able to provide speed as they said. In my area @ Gil Puyat, the speed when speed test is always around 7MBPS, but the actual speed of surfing is < 500kbps.

    Not to mention when surfing, the website always not able to connect and I have to keep refresh until it can load.

    Now I am using wimax and i kept on getting Disconnect status in my Wimax router. Speed never surpass 300kbps.

    I am not a filipino, I dont know how they do bussiness here in the Philippines but this is a scam and it's unacceptable. We need to stand up and sue these company. People have consumer rights. Know your rights and sue them.

      i agree with suing the company, i have been a globe subscriber and i have no choice but to stick with them, i rely too much with my internet connection and i couldn’t get other internet service provider due to my location….. this issue should be also raised to the higher official of our country so that malicious and suspicious things could be avoided
