Globe DSL vs PLDT DSL

I hope Globe will cover our area soon..

 

you have free unlimited wifi on PLDT dsl for the plan 3000?

thats weird i dont have that offer...

 

I can't comment on the latency, but I am with Globe's 2Mbps plan and after the Taiwan incident, I can get as much as 1.7Mbps for my plan, more than the 60% supposed "actual" speed and I don't suffer any disconnections. But then again, I'm here in Bacoor and less than a kilometer away from a Globe switch station. Oh together with the 1Mbps, it comes with a wireless modem/router already.

 

I did plan to switch to globe few days back but my residence had overspan of 12 meters from the router, I think. They are going to charge me 700K+ per 1m. So I decided to forget globe for the moment and stick with PLDT. BTW

 

wow! I'm currently paying 1700 for my pldt landline+dsl999 (384kbps), that 2Mbps looks sweet, Is there a lock in period? btw where did you hear about this? is it applicable to everywhere globe has a network in? I went to the globequest site and their current plans are still too expensive.

 

yup there is a one year lock in period, you can check out there site at www.globelines.com.ph and it goes all throughout where globelines is available.

 

Seems Quezon City is not yet covered still..

 

ah nakuwa ko na... pero data package lang pala eto. Hinde kasama yun land line.

 

Nope, that 1995.00 for a 2Mbps DSL line includes everything from your DSL subscription to your monthly landline subscription.

Globelines is also offering the same price for DSL lines only. But if Globelines is available in your area, why get the DSL line only when for the same price you get a landline and a DSL connection.

 

Hey guys, anybody here having problems with Globelines DSL? I plan to get the 2Mbps plan, I am located in katipunan qc area. I was never happy with the previous PLDT, now Bayantel which I will be returning (thank God for a trial-period) and hopefully Globe is better.

 

I am a subscriber of Globelines DSL and got problems with their DSL, since the Taiwan earthquake incident Globelines DSL is getting to my nerves! However, Globelines Customer Service is superb! Globelines gave 50% rebate on the interrupted services.

 

been on both.

globe pa rin, if it's a choice between the two.

 

I tried calling 172 to inquire about that free unlimited Airborne Access account for plan 3000 subscribers and, as usual, the representative had no idea what I was talking about.

 

hi guys. is the globe dsl here refers to their speak and surf thing? i'm planning to get one myself. is this any good? before i plunge into something i might regret. thanks.

 

I just switched from PLDT to Globe here in the Mandaluyong Area. With PLDT I was paying P4,000 + P1,500 + VAT for the business 2Mbps package, with Globe I am being charged P2,500 flat including the Phone line.

My PLDT DSL Speed never exceeded 800Mbps, based on speedtests to PLDT's speedtester, and speeds were as low as 164kbps to outside speedtesters.

Globe speedtest to globequest.com.ph shows a speed of 1.9 - 2.1 Mbps, speedtests to outside speedtesters (including PLDT's) range from 600-900 kbps.

Checking the modem configuration, I noticed that Globe is running ADSL2 networks which support higher speeds over longer distances.

 

i like Globe's bursts this week. especially now that season finales for our favorite tv shows are up and available

 

Did you subscribed to the Speak & Surf of Globe?

 

I think Speak & Surf refers to Innove's wireless-to-your-home offering (a la Smart Bro) - Globe also offers wired DSL service. Speak & Surf is usually offered in areas where no wired DSL is available (e.g., many parts of Quezon City) and I think is limited to only around 256 kbps tops.
