The real issue here is that globe is overselling their network. If they can't afford to upgrade their backbone to support that many customers at advertised speeds, they should let customers go.

So far sa service ko sa Globe sa Ortigas, wala ako problems. Never ako nakaroon ng issue na nawawala yung connection ko. Mabilis din naman yung connection. Well, except pag inde ako nakakabayad ng bills after 4 months, then puputulan nila ako. Pero mabilis din ang reconnection. But that's a different story.

I've had terrible experiences with PLDT noong nagpakabit kami ng broadband a long time ago. 2.5k pa yung 128kbps noon. Imagine that. And yeah, pag meron problems, same story. So sabi ko noon, never again sa PLDT. Buti na lang naka-tsamba ako sa Globe sa area namin. I'm currently on a 3Mbps service for 2k. Wala ako reklamo.

Ang naririnig ko is may issues talaga yung Globe sa Cavite area. Sa mga kilala ko dun, I tell them to stick with PLDT. Sa area namin (Ortigas), Globe is way better than PLDT (or SmartBRO). However, sa bahay ng mom ko sa QC, nasira yung external unit ng Globe kaya walang connection. Pinaputol namin yung Globe namin sa QC kahit inde pa tapos yung lock-in. Ofcourse you also don't have to pay for the times na wala ka service.

But yes, the general picture of broadband service sa Pinas is quite poor. Ang mahal, tapos ang bagal. Also, there is this mini-cartel (so to speak) among the telcos. Crappy yung after sales service ng karamihan, and meron lock in. The thing here is the lock-in, how can they even demand that kung hindi naman assured the service nila?

Well, antayin na lang natin yung pakulo ng Google regaring open broadband. ^_^
