Smart LTE vs. Globe Tattoo Black Price Comparison

Globe wins ! You can actually subscribe to Plan 1799, cut the regular sim to a nano-sized one and insert it on your iPhone 5. As the latter iPhone supports 850/1800/2100 frequency bands. (Globe uses 1800 Mhz for their LTE)

Question: How long before Globe expands its coverage beyond Makati? I’ll bet that even there, it’s mostly limited to the CBD and the exclusive villages. Will you get LTE in Bangkal or Guadalupe Viejo for instance? By the time other areas get Globe’s LTE, betting the “unlimited” offer will have expired.

Telco wins talo pilipino. Kung taga makati ka panalo pag kailangan mong umuwi sa ibang siyudad talo. Pagtambay ka sa makati – panalo

Smart’s pricing is way too much…

The price of both LTE offerings speaks itself. Smart LTE has wider coverage, fully-tested and have more bands while Globe is only new for 4G tech, LTE only in Makati.

I think, there’s nothing to compare at the moment! Smart LTE is still the only LTE in the country.

He who removes cap wins this war.

A regular 1 Mbps plan can theoretically download about 200GB-300GB+ per month.

What’s the use of high speed if you can only download 10-15GB? Only noobs will buy this.

We the customer therefore demand cap removal ASAP or we will simply not buy this.

I am having doubts if the technology employed by Smart and Globe are really LTE but HSPA+, a 4G technology but not 4G-LTE.

The speeds they posted are more in line with HSPA+. 42mbps DL/ 11mbps UL.

US telcos use LTE Cat3 which has 100mbps DL and 50mbps UL.
LTE cat4 150mbps DL/50mbps UL
LTE Cat5 300mbps DL/75mbps UL.

To the morons who say that these networks don’t offer LTE but only HSPA+, think again. LTE cannot be JUST deployed by 25/50/75/100 Mbps speeds but also capped and utilised for the masses. It’s basically a 50 Mbps LTE cell capped at 42 Mbps for stability. If they don’t cap it, towers might not be able to carry the data and overload. Duh. Can you not take a hint ? Twats, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Even the modems are LTE-enabled variants. Insecurities. Kayo na lang mag deploy nang LTE ha, para sure na sure. Hindi na sila.

Smart is more expensive obviously because they were first to market (as usual). In a few weeks time, I’m sure those prices will even out. When that happens, Smart will have the clear advantage due to coverage. For me, never mind if I’m given 2-5GB less allocation, at least I can use it in most parts of Metro Manila. Ang Globe pang-Makati lang naman talaga. Anywhere outside Makati and Globe coverage sucks. Akala ata nila buong Pilipinas na ang Makati.

10g and 15g cap? Susmaryosep jejomar jusporsanto! E wala pang isang linggo ubos ko n yan! PagDL ng apps sa iPad at Android ko palang. Movies pa. Sarap sana magDL ng movies nyan o, kaso isang movie p lang 1gig na! Tapos mabilis pa! Matataga tayo nyan sa overage. Wag na uy. Siguro after a year aalisin din nila cap nyan ang kaso there’s just no enough competition dito sa Pinas unlike sa US. Globe vs. Smart lang. Tsk.

Just shows how greedy SMART can get. A thousand pesos higher for a smaller bandwidth? Tapos saan lang mapupunta, sa commercials nila telling the other networks’ subscribers to “live more”? Bwisit, pareho lang kayong bulok. SMART’s just leveling up their kabulukan with their greed.

SMART LTE UNLIMITED TILL 25-OCTOBER ONLY….

SMART will definitely heat up the competition, thus will bring down their msf for their LTE plan.. Masyado lang binaba ni Globe ung msf nila just to make their LTE more enticing kahit sa Makati lang ang coverage.. Hintayin natin what SMART will release in the succeding days.. Bka mapa NGANGA ang GLOBE sa competition :p

Cap limits benefit users? I highly disagree, mobile or fixed they’re absolutely useless to the end user.

What’s the point of having a 42Mbps connection with a 5GB cap? Good luck!

Philippine internet owners actually look more on profit , try to compare it to electricity and corruption.. “they are related in terms of management”
