Back in December, NTC along with local telcos proposed to cap the bandwidth on internet broadband to improve their service in terms of speed and uptime. It was met with a lot of objections from consumers and this prompted NTC to hold a public forum in January that resulted to the scrapping of the idea.
However, we just learned that Globe recently implemented a 1GB daily bandwidth cap on their broadband services as part of their fair-use exploring business karen collins policy. This fair-use policy is not new to mobile broadband subscribers especially prepaid ones who uses unlimited deals. In fact there’s already an 800MB daily bandwidth cap in their Unlisurf promo, but that’s fairly understandable since mobile internet is commonly used for light and personal consumption.
This 1GB cap is for all their broadband services to eliminate abusive subscribers who uses their network bandwidth to download pirated content such as softwares exploring business karen collins and videos. The problem here is that those who use the internet to download legal stuff such as distros and legally paid softwares/games, view YouTube HD content exploring business karen collins or those from a large household will surely be affected.
1 GB daily is just not enough. For personal use maybe but once you hit two or three concurrent users, that 1 GB will easily be consumed. This would greatly affect gamers who legally download content online (e.g. Steam users) or those who wish to download huge iPad games from the App Store. Or how about those freelance designers that deals with high-res content and constantly upload them to the cloud for storage or submission.

A lot of globe subscribers will be forced to migrate to another ISP if this 1 gb limit includes wired dsl plans. This is ironic because a lot of my friends who subscribed to wi-tribe(with cap)recently switched and subscribed to Globe DSL, thinking there is no cap limit.
Masuwerte yung puwedeng lumipat. Eh paano kung sa AREA ninyo walang ibang ISP? Ano ang gagawin mo? Mukhang imposible pero marami pa ring area SA METRO MANILA ang hindi nakakapag-provide ng internet services except for some which has one or suwerte na kung may dalawa.
Dito nga sa amin sa bundok, Globe lang ang may 3G. Syempre Tattoo stick na rin ang ginagamit ko. Yun nga lang, after 6 hours of heavy internet browsing, walang download ng heavy files na nangyari, eh balik na ako sa edge connection. Nakakainis talaga ang globe!!! exploring business karen collins Pag dumating na ang better connection ng smart dito, dun nalang ako. At least 1.5G ang cap.
meron yan sa Smartbro. di lang pansin maxado and we need to investigate more to it. usually kasi pag na reach mo ung alloted data mo like sa Globe (data policy nila) bumababa ang speed natin.. it applies to all ISP na nag e-implement ng Data Usage Policy, which is unfair sa mga subscriber ng unlimited in my opinion.
Smartbro does too. If you are familiar how motorola canopy works then you’ll see. Although exploring business karen collins understandably exploring business karen collins they do not admit it when you call customer service as to why your speed suddenly drops to almost a crawl or you lose connection entirely.
Their usual reply: “There is a technical activity exploring business karen collins being done at the base station.” If you ask them what kind (hardware/software)… They will not say. If you ask when the service will normalize, they are non-committal. When it comes to your bill, they e-mail and even text you on your cell to “REMIND” you your bill is due.
What to do? Threaten to report them to the NTC and DTI and follow up that threat with an e-mail addressed to the two latter entities cc: Smartbro… For sure one of the Reps will call on you to EXPLAIN/DEFEND their side.
You don’t quite get sarcasm now do you?
Unsubscribe nlng kay Globe para walang problema..ndi nmn tayo mawawalan kundi sila kung lhat ng subscriber nila eh mawawala, goodluck nlng sa knila..PLDT DSL nlng kayo kc ako nagpaputol n ng Globe postpaid, exploring business karen collins Mahal mahal ng services nila tapos gnun pa gagawin nila..maige png mag rent nlng sa compshop ndi pa husstle ang connection nila sa DSL kesa magtyaga ka sa walng kwentang policy nilang yan..
However, the problem is identifying those 5%. And where did they get those numbers? I think they are just throwing us “ceiling figures”… that is, they look at ceiling and ‘guess’ the figures. LOL.
Another problem is their definition of ‘abusive users.’ How can they delineate categories betw
