GLOBE VS PLDT DSL WITH LANDLINE PRICE FEATURE COMPARISON

Group accuses Globe of using data cap to hide network problems

Ayala-led Globe Telecom is merely using Internet volume data capping, through the imposition of a “fair use policy”, to hide problems in network capacity, a consumer group said in a statement.

TxtPower, through its president Ian Anthony Cruz, branded Globe’s move as deceptive and should be investigated by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).  Read the whole article here  http://newsbytes.ph/2011/04/07/group-accuses-globe-of-using-data-cap-to-hide-network-problems/

 

For sure Globe wants to cram more customers in its network to make more money instead of blaming the customers using their advertised unlimited or has the definition of unlimited changed? Why dont they just state upfront its no longer unlimited and give the cap and speed they guarantee?

Globe pushes responsible internet use but doesn't change their ads for unlimited internet?

  What Globe wants is for each of us to use the internet less in this environment of expanding explosion of information.  They want their big profits without expanding their networks to prevent all of us to benefit with the many new internet applications.  Consumer groups have said that companies should invest to bolster their networks instead of penalizing users.  click here to read complete article

Comments in Yugatech blog

Well, it is true that they are cheaper but if you put in reliability and consistency into the mix, I’d still pay for a fix line.  It is very inconsistent and not as reliable as a wired connection. There’s lot of capping policies even though Telcos do not admit this directly to its customers.  ..........been using both a wired and wireless DSL and I should say that my wired one never fails as often and gives a consistent connection.
