Following PLDT Home Fibr’s announcement that it will offer 1 Gbps broadband plans, Globe Telecom has revealed that it will also offer 1 Gbps plans.
Globe Telecom has unveiled its new roster of home broadband plans powered by fiber-to-the-home (FFTH) technology.
The offering of a more aggressive home broadband portfolio also forms part of the telco’s efforts to uplift the state of internet services in the country by giving customers access to a faster internet experience with lower monthly service fees (MSF).
With the new Globe Platinum Broadband Plans, home broadband customers can enjoy a broadband plan with internet speeds of up to 50 Mbps at Plan 2499, 100 Mbps at Plan 3499, 200 Mbps at Plan 4499, 500 Mbps at Plan 7499, and 1 Gbps at Plan 9499. All plans are bundled with unlimited data with no data cap and free access to Spotify, NBA League Pass, and HOOQ.
The new pricing scheme effectively puts the Philippines at par, if not better, against other countries such as USA, Thailand, and Indonesia in terms of affordability of broadband services. With its commitment to reach more customers, Globe is making its new Platinum Broadband Plans at less than half than its previous price offering.
By October 24, 2015, the 50 Mbps and 100 Mbps plans will be initially available in over 80 Platinum-covered sites in select key areas within Ortigas, Taguig City, Alabang, Makati, Eastwood, Rockwell, Mandaluyong, Pasay, Pasig, San Juan, Muntinlupa, Las Pinas, Paranaque, Manila, Quezon City, and Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
On the other hand, the 200 Mbps plan is initially offered in Green Meadows, Acropolis, White Plains, Forbes Par, Bel-Air Village, Urdaneta Village, Ayala Alabang, Alabang 400, Southbay Gardens, The Amaryllis, San Lorenzo Village, Serendra, Abrio Nuvali, and Ayala Greenfield Estates.
Finally, the 500 Mbps and 1 Gbps plans will be available in Acropolis, Bel-Air Village, Forbes Park, Greenmeadows, Urdaneta Village, and White Plains for its initial roll-out. All plans will be available in more sites over the coming months as the telco’s fiber network expands to more areas nationwide.
Aside from fiber-fast connectivity, Platinum Broadband customers also get access to exclusive perks and privileges such as a dedicated Platinum Relationship Manager, dedicated Platinum Hotline, and Concierge assistance.
