Globe network outages due to damaged fiber

Listen to article

Maraming natatanggap na email/ulat na ang mga gumagamit ng Globe Telecom ay nahihirapang kumonekta sa network. Mukhang nagsimula ang problema ngayong umaga at patuloy pa rin ang mga reklamo hanggang ngayon.

Inilathala ng Globe Telecom ang paunawang ito ilang oras na ang nakalipas sa kanilang FB page:

PABATID: Nakaranas ang Globe Telecom ng pagkaantala ng serbisyo sa piling lugar sa Visayas at Mindanao dahil sa pagkakabutas ng fiber. Bilang resulta, maaaring makaranas ng kahirapan ang mga subscriber sa pagpapadala ng mga text message, pagtawag o paggamit ng mobile internet sa mga lugar na ito.

Tinitiyak ng Globe sa mga subscriber nito na patuloy ang pagpapanumbalik ng serbisyo. Ipapabatid sa mga subscriber agad kapag bumalik na sa normal ang serbisyo.

Narito ang kopya ng buong paunawa sa media:

Pabatid sa Media tungkol sa Pagkakawala ng Serbisyo ng Globe Network
Tingnan ang higit pang mga dokumento mula sa yuga.

Two of my Globe numbers are working (on and off the whole day) and one of my Touch Mobile number cannot get any network signal all afternoon. Globe did not give an ETA when all systems will be fully restored (though they expect it to be done this evening).

Ang nasirang fiber ay dahil sa kamakailang bagyong Bebeng at ang ilan dito ay nasa ilalim ng dagat kaya medyo mabagal at masalimuot ang mga pag-aayos. Ang Globe ay humihiling ng kaunting pasensya at pang-unawa habang ipinagpapatuloy nila ang mga pag-aayos at pagpapanumbalik ng mga serbisyo.

Kakakuha ng mas detalyadong impormasyon mula sa Globe at magpo‑post ng mga update dito. Update: Naibalik na ng Globe ang network ilang sandali lamang ang nakalipas.

I received a text from Globe 5 hours ago: ”As a valued customer, Globe is sending you FREE texts and call minutes within the next few days. This is our way of saying “thank you” for being with Globe and our way of making up for the May 9 service interruption. Globe will send you a text no later than May 17 as soon as this special service is available for your use. This is to show that you are truly important to us.”

This is the reason why more people are choosing Smart. Case in point: Ondoy. All Globe network coverage are down in Metro Manila. Smart is still standing. Ondoy victims used Smart cellphones in roving vans to tell their loved ones that they are alive. I know. I was there.

Globe Telecom officials, stop being cry babies and just improve your service. iPhones are not the answer.

One thing I have as comment to this. Undersea cables are usualy over 10 meter underground and underwater. so unless that’s a very big ship or the cable was pulled from above ground would be the only way to snap the cable, which isn’t small. usually it’s a 2-4 meter wide tube.

Wonder why it always happens to Globe and yet you don’t hear it happening to SUN or SMART.

I lost my signal last 26 MAR. They made me wait until yesterday to tell me that I had to change my SIM.

Now, my Globe dsl at home is dead…Customer service says its because of the weather…Yeah, right!

It seems a change of service is due…

Globe’s service has been erratic (to say the least) these past few weeks, not just yesterday or the day before. People in my office and house are all on Globe and the service really needs improving ASAP.

Thumbs up if you think that Smart has sabotaged Globe’s fiber cables!

Why anyone would entertain such thoughts is beyond me. Unless joke yan, siguro.

i am just joking.

anyway, back to the real deal, i guessthat globe is suffering from network outages because of the typhoon that struck recently.

Actually, I’m the only Globe user here with 0 signal. Swapped sims and the sim I inserted my Globe sim to still had no signal. Sun Cellular was ok on both phones. :(
