Globe Tattoo Wireless Broadband Offer Reliable but Affordable Internet Connection

The advent of prepaid broadband kit has made the internet more accessible to a lot of people. Hence, I was one of those who finally got around to picking up my own Globe Tattoo Wireless Broadband so that I can use it for connecting to the internet at home, without the need to pay on monthly internet service or connection fees, which can get really expensive. This broadband kit is priced at only PhP 1,895 (in fact, when I bought it there was a promo that it only cost around PhP 999, allowing me to save almost half the original price!) and this is a one-time payment, which would allow you to use the internet anytime you want.

What can you get from the kit? Of course, you will get the Huawei HSDPA USB stick, USB cord, user manual for the USB stick, and a Globe SIM card (which will be used for loading the prepaid account that will in turn enable you to connect online). One noticeable qualm about this prepaid broadband kit is that the USB stick is a bit too large and bulky. However, this is also the average size with some other broadband kits out there, so there is really nothing to complain there. In addition, there is a micro SD slot available so you can also use it as portable storage device for your files.

I had never had a single disappointment when using the Globe Tattoo Wireless Broadband. Aside from the savings that I can get from the monthly internet connection fee, I will only pay for the actual amount of time that I use on the internet – not like the wired internet connection wherein I have to pay for a flat rate, even if I rarely use the online connection. That alone is a guarantee that you can enjoy great value for your money.

I have got around to using Smart’s own prepaid broadband kit and I would have to say that it is a far cry from Globe Tattoo’s performance. In fact, when using the Smart prepaid kit, I was only limited to browsing and checking my e-mails, whereas with Globe’s broadband kit I was able to upload photos or download files at a decent rate. However, the performance tend to slow down during peak hours but when it does speed up, it can reach up to 1Mbps in speed. Pretty decent, indeed.

Globe Broadband: My Best Choice of Mobile Internet Provider

We use PLDT MyDSL at home as our landline and internet provider because it is considered the best wired internet provider in the Philippines. However, since I left our family house and became independent, I had to have my own internet connection in my apartment. Because I would not need a landline, I had to subscribe with a net connection which I can bring with me whenever I go to places. 

There are many internet providers to choose from, but I chose Globe Broadband. I am a subscriber of this internet provider for almost four years now and am getting the good service that I am looking and needing for. My sister used to be a subscriber of Smart Broadband that is why I can tell the difference and she shifted to Globe Broadband. 

What I really like about Globe Broadband? Installation is free and you only need an identification card when applying. That valid ID requirement was implemented last year, unlike when I applied which the usual requirement includes proof of billing and proof of income. Another, you can request for bill adjustments when you are unable to use your internet connection due to their system restoration or delay of repair. For other internet providers, the monthly payment or plan is fix, hence when you are not able to use the internet without your fault, you cannot request for adjustment of the bill.

With those four years as a subscriber, I don’t find any reason just yet to terminate my internet account from Globe Broadband. One more thing I am impressed with Globe Broadband is its portability. My account is a 3G Wireless Broadband and I take it everywhere I go. Mid of last year, I had an upgrade of my account. When I applied sometime in 2008, my monthly payment is Php. 995.00 which is solely for the internet connection. However, they had introduced another promo which they made the monthly payment of Php. 795.00 for internet connection and Php. 995.00 with a landline connection. Hence, they installed a landline retaining my internet with the same monthly payment. 

Technical support is 24/7 available online and their field technicians are also available from 8 AM till 6 PM every day from Mondays through Sundays. It is fast and reliable and easily to troubleshoot when you encounter some problems. Before calling to the hotline for technical assistance, I would do the initial troubleshooting and I can determine whether it is their system or mine which is in trouble or when it is the modem that requires a technical repair. If I could not fix the problem on my own, that’s the only time I call for technical assistance.

Consequently, I am requesting for another upgrade now to WIMAX, which I heard a good feedback regarding its speed.
