kenji_1989 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 My friend who is few blocks away applied for this " Globe SpeaknSurf" Well when I checked it out in her home, its quite cool. Unlike in Smart, the handset and unit will be delivered to you and just set it up. Which is really cool for me as a Smart Bro User Now, Ive tried surfing. Good. Friendster? Nah cant load it. Maintenance is not the reason. Ive just surfed in friendster 5minutes a while ago so that's not a reason. Download? Quite good but my connection beats it. Worst thing, if ever you are into some business and is frequent user of credit card and any valuable information, beware and be careful especially on your neighbor. Remeber Globelines uses a much real "wireless" connection. When I tried to access my friends files on her laptop (she knew it of course I just told her about this also thats why I showed her ^^), a little bit of tweaks and some progs, I have full access to her "My Computer" and all other documents. So basically, there is a chance that malicious softwares like keyloggers can be transfered, thus monitoring your keystrokes on any site. Thats why if ever youre into wireless internet, be sure you have reliable firewall and router. And always lock your network. Conclusion: It is good but be safe. If youre just for plain surfing online gaming, porn downloads , music, well, this is good for you. As for Smart Bro haters out there, Ive experienced hell months with Smart Bro. Believe me, everything new in Philippine technology and other technology, there is always and always be problems. Just like this my friend right now who experience internet slowdowns. I beat her downstream and upload rate despite the criticism that my ISP have. I can play online games with no lag. What really beats me is the connection stabilit which is advantage in wired connections. Quote Link to comment
cool_kojie Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 HI CK, i'm still ok with my destiny. If things don't go your way then your last resort is to go to SKY+ZPDEE Goodluck Bro! Zpdee was my first option but they dont have cables laid out sa area ko so nag destiny ako. Inconsistent ang speed nya right now kasi nga daw di pa ayos yung mainstream line due to the earthquake. My globe visibility account naman is okey na naman now. Not as fast as my wired dsl before kasi I subcribe to the 3000 a month plan for 2 mbps. Really fast! However I am not a have user and its not really worth for me to have that speed to the time I spent online. Sobra lugi ako. Right now I am still waiting for Destiny to be better as they promised mga end of Feb pa raw sla normal. I will wait muna and decide. Thanks bro. Quote Link to comment
hero168 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 i had been a loyal subscriber of globe since 1996, i terminated by line last 2004 coz of slight differences. my account ended up as a corporate account but since am based in province no one assigned to me, if i have concerns, businesscenter can't handle my complaints but when i call corporate group, am given the runaround kz no one assigned to me. before i cut my line, i said lilipat ako smart kz they are giving me a better deal, the girl i talked to just said "if they can give you a better offer, better switch na." so i took her advise and did that, since then some complaints with smart but they are able to address my problems. nobody's perfect.

cool_kojie Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 same here smart bro user . makati area near don bosco, at first medyo nawawala signal pero after aweek ok na, speed mabilis din, yung globe ba pede kahit na on mobile ka? like on the way to bulacan ? la union , may connetion ka ? parang celphone , any where you go? Right now I am having good speed na naman not as fast as the DSL I use to have and not as fast as the smartbro I have sa office pero it okey for my usage. Tolerable naman sya but I am still looking for a faster one so waiting lang ako for destiny to get better. or Ill stick it out muna sa globe visibility account ko. Literally its internet on the go. I use it to surf the net maski nasa car kami on our ay to some place. Okey naman ang speed and its useable. Way much better than we roam i use to have. Basta may signal ang globe you can surf the net. Its faster if yung signal is HSDPA or 3G. But there are places na GPRS lang and Edge. Speed you get here is only dial up speed. pag HSDPA I get as fast as 700kbps. The only thing I hate about it its inconsistent, there are days na mabilis but there are trying days na its slower than dial up. Customer service told me because in some place we are sharing one cell site which makes the commection slow but they are putting more cell sites daw to improve their service. Before I am already terminating my subscription to globe but recently I think my speed is improving kaya ill still wait for it to improve. Quote Link to comment

muffluvin Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 unsolicited text messages na may charges plus questionable billing statements na di naman nila masolusyonan yan nag dahilan kung bakit nag switch ako sa smart way back 2003 Quote Link to comment

cool_kojie Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 The speed above is from my Globe Visibility account. Its improving everyday. last nite I got 1.2 MBPS. Can anyone tell me what latency is? Quote Link to comment
MiG-29C Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 With Globe Telecom recently increasing the rates of their Unlimitext Services from P20/2 Days and P50/5 Days to P20/Day, I'm switching to Sun Cellular for good. Just because tinanggal ng Smart yung unlimited texting promo nila, puwede na i-monopolize ng Globe ang consumers by increasing their rates. I don't have a prob with SunCell's coverage. Di naman tayo nakatira sa liblib na lugar para maging concerned about signal coverage and network congestion. Do the math, mas tipid pa rin mag 24x7! I'm just being practical. Will just keep my Globe sim for back-up in case mapunta ako sa isang lugar na walang SunCell coverage. Quote Link to comment
[TWO]RERO Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 i have no problem about unlimitxt increase of globe cause i rarely use it. but, i'm might try SUN never tried it eh. Quote Link to comment
