... so in effect it will affect only the...
"5 percent of abusive subscribers (who) use 80 percent of the available broadband Internet bandwidth"...
... in order to..
"ensure consistency and reliability of connection for use of the greater majority of broadband subscribers,.."


... sana ganun nga ang mangyari...

 

so what will happen mga master ??

 

^in short the more sites you visit, the more data you've downloaded, such as loading of websites and watching online video streams and downloading the higher the bandwidth you consume. So may limit na silang 1GB per day kung average internet user ka pwede ito, pero kung internet soho ka hindi pwede dahil 30minutes pa lang ubos na yan.

 

hmmm, ibig sbhin pag nareach mu 1gig slow down na net speed mu?
globe wimax ba ksma rin sa policy na to? last august pa ako ngpakbit neto eh..

 

afaik style ng globe is disconnected pag lagpas ng cap

 

so i'm at home working and browsing different websites (which is required for work), am i screwed?

 

^ yes sir every download nyo ng data, for example visited a site, the logos, images, and info eh dinadownload to your temp file para maview nyo sa browser meaning usage of bandwidth na yun

 

download a meter like netpersec, dumeter or netmeter then go to a website. kitang kita ang amount of data DL and UL

 

crap .. that kinda sucks .. oh well .. kelan daw nila i-i-implent 'to?

pero parang nde rin tama na gawin nila yun lalo na yung kung work mo revolves around viewing different websites.

 

^ Hindi talaga sya tama hehe. Tapos pag naubos na yung 1GB limit, disconnected sa internet buong buwan?

 

its not unlimited internet anymore... 1gb is impossible... i think 3gb pwede per day pero 1gb.... hmmmm... and its not clear kung sino sino ang affected business plans ba or personal plans lng or prepaid.. or all of them...

 

1 gig per day not per month

 

^thanks kala ko 1 month, pero 1GB? di ko kakayanin yun baka mga 30minutes pa lang wala na yun hehe.

 

it's very unfair.

 

tattoo at wimax lang daw affected accdg sa isang taga globe.
for short wireless broadband lang.

 

thats what i heard too, but no written evidence, puro hearsay

 

na-implement na ba 'to or i-implement pa lang?

 

Opo... Base on Technical Support Hotline... WIRELESS "ONLY"

 

This is a big joke. Globe should say goodbye to their subscribers.
