Globe Tattoo is no different from Globe Visibility
This is a bit late but if you’re planning on getting a Globe Broadband Tattoo, don’t get your hopes up that it will give you the 2 Mbps max speed (or even half of it) as advertised. I saw this product in a stall during Microsoft’s Web Ramp Up last Feb. 26. at SMX and when I asked the Globe reps there if it’s the same as Globe Visibility, they said that it is.
They just repackaged and re-branded it to give their mobile broadband service a fresh look but if you’re having trouble with the connection on the Visibility like I do, chances are this won’t help you much. I asked the rep if it will give me problems in my place (Pasay), he couldn’t answer directly and just pointed me to try it out on one of their machines. Ho hum.
Well broadband service these days are still hit and miss. There are people saying that Globe has excellent broadband coverage and there are those who don’t. Nevertheless, it’s the unhelpful and not-so knowledgeable support service that’s been infuriating customers and making Globe a turn off.
So should you get one? It won’t hurt to try but make sure that they can give you a hassle-free refund if it doesn’t pan out for you.

I think, Globe delivered when they said that it can give up to 2Mbps.
Dito sa Ortigas area, mabilis talaga sya. I can say, it is comparable sa office internet namin pagdating sa bilis, upload and download. Ikaw ba naman, HSDPA ang ginagamit.
Pero since i live in UP area, sa may CP Garcia, WCDMA lang ginagamit, walang HSDPA? OMG! I just hope “simply amazing’s” HSDPA signal sa Katipunan ay abot sa amin. Sana masaya din ako.
But still, i downloaded a 2MB powerpoint sa Yahoo mail ko, and it took me around 4mins to download it. Sensya na hindi ko napansin yung download speed nung time na yun. kayo na bahala sa math, basta 2mb took me around 4mins give or take a 15 secs.
So i think, okay naman sya over-all.
Sana lang hindi nila sinasabi na sa lahat ng areas malakas ang signal. Buti na lang yung seller sa Technohub along Commonwealth, sinabi nya lahat sakin.
BTW, dito sa Ortigas area, ang video streaming, grabe, asteeg. Supah dupah bilis, like watching an HD movie sa aking schlaftaf.
Yeah… all those promotions they have were BOGUS!
Since sept. 26, 2009 up to now oct 17 no dialtone and globe broadband connection na ako.Everyday I have to call their 171 csr and they cannot really give reasonable and believable excuses. I have 1mbps subscription started January 2009. Almost every month we have connection problems and about four times system restoration alibis since jan. to oct. Globe really sucks!!! I’m terminating my subscription tomorrow. The hell with their lock in period no way I’m gonna pay! By the way I have a neighbor using Digitel broadband. He had no problems even during and after Ondoy and Pepeng.
SA GLOBE ABOT MO ANG MUNDO ,PWE KALOKOHAN .GLOBE SUBSCRIBERS WAKE UP ,KME KATAPAT NA NGA NG HOUSE NAMEN UNG TELECCOMMUNICATION SITE NG GLOBE ,PERO HINDI PADIN KME MAKAKUHA NG MAAYOS NA INTERNET CONNEKSYON BWESIT ………..TPOS PAG BAYARAN NA SOBRA BILIS NAKAKARAting AGAD SAMIN UNG BILLS MAS MABILIS PA KAYSA KAY SUPERMAN ,SAMANTALANG PAG SA SERBISYO NA NILA ANG PAG UUSAPAN ,MAS MABILIS PA UNG PAGONG SAKANILA BWESIT ;;;;;;;
Hello again guys.
Learn from me. Take a serious thought of what Im about to share again.
Last time I made a comment about my disgust with Globe’s Tattoe broadband service. After a few months of staying at peace due to my sad experience with Globe’s Tattoe Broadband, Globe again offered me its internet services, this time the wireless connection. After some bla bla bla with their marketing agents, I agreed hoping that Globe would bounce back from its poor tattoe broadband service. After the installation, the installer guy ask me to try their wireless connection, gosh! I was laughing mad, again its like a 56kbps modem. So I had it removed again right then and there. They’ve wasted 2 days of my precious time. I that’s it I said. To my surprise, after 2 weeks here comes again the Globe agents calling me to apply for a wired connection instead with a landphone package. So after that usual bla bla bla I agreed that they install then a wired internet connection and they installed it last sept 29,2009.After the installation (1mbps plan), oh my, its really fast I said. I even used it to pass information around thru the internet during the typhoon peping and ondoy. Unfortunately, right after typhoon peping, my internet connection was gone. I tried using their landphone to call their customer service personnel but I couldnt get thru. So I said, okay perhaps they need to repair their lines due to the typhoon. 5 days passed before my internet was restored, the problem is, it goes down anytime from time to time without even receiving any updates from Globe if they are still fixing lines going thru our area. Guys read this…. last Oct 21, 2009 I received my billing. My plan was 1295, my bill was 1500 including vat, and my due date is Oct 24, 2009. I could not imagine, after only using their internet for 2 weeks (good connection), and now Im having troubles with their connection from time to time, GLobe is asking me to pay 1500.00 when Im only suppose to have my 1 month subscription on Oct 29, 2009. Their landline service is of no use also. I ask the installer guys if the phone comes with a telephone directory, well, it does not. I cannot even call the telephone using other networks like pldt or smart or digitel.And! I cant make outgoing calls except from globe to globe, or to their customer service. (Our place is Baguio City and I just dont know if you suffer the same poor services from Globe) .
wag nlng kau mgpa install ng globe broadband kz useless xa..sa tattoo nmn dpende sa lugar tlga kea bgo kau bumili try to ask mga kapitbahay n me tattoo broadband pra mlman nyo kun ok xa sa lugar nio
globe tattoo is awful. it’s the slowest I’ve ever seen. even at full strength, five signal bars, the speed fluctuates between 0 kbps and 300 kbps. Nowhere near 2mbps. The 2mbps is a total lie and fraud. I would not recommend it. Even at 0 kbps you still get charged 20p per hour. What a ripoff. Getting charged for the slowest connection I’ve ever seen!
Bumili classm8 q ng laptop and it came with a free Globe Tattoo. When we tested it, such a watse of load and time dahil ang tagal magload ng pages. 0.00kbps appear on the software’s meter…
I’m using Smartbro, and one time it even gave me a maximum speed of 2.8 mbps without fail… I can even use limewire and youtube… Even if smartbro sometimes dropped to 0.00kbps to 10 kbps for reasons unknown, i can still access the sites like facebook, yahoo mail and google…
Just always put into your minds that wireless connections are prone interference or outside factors like buildings, weathers and others…
And always remember that the “2mbps” promotion is the “MAXIMUM SPEED” and who the hell will advertise their MINIMUM SPEED which is 0.00kbps???
Thanks!
But in the end, SmartBro is better than Globe Tattoo, as what my comparisons/studies revealed
yung globe ko postpaid. 3.6mbps daw???
comments:
1. laging 0.00kbps.
2. 800kbps ang pinakamataas. di man lang umabot sa 1Mbps. Hay!!
3. naddisconnect lagi
4. mabagal sa area ng makati(paseo), Manila(Sta.Mesa). Kahit sa Bataan mabagal din. di ko magamit ng maayos.
5. Di pwede sa youtube, facebook. Pwede kaya lang per upload super bagal. 100kbps lang lagi. maddisconnect ka pa. Grabe!!
Mga bobo karamihan dito. Depende sa lugar yan, siyempre pag maraming subscriber nagiging congested ang area. Depende rin sa distance yan at coverage ng 3G/HSDPA. Kung wala kang coverage ng 3G/HSDPA sa lugar mo, kahit anong gawin mo, d ka makakaconnect sa ini-expect mong speed. Kung walang 3G, siyempre d GPRS/UMTS lang ang makukuha mong signal kahit katabi mo pa TOWER. Sa area ko Asingan, Pangasinan, 3 cellsite ng SMART, samantalang 2 sa GLOBE. Doon nakakakuha ako ng HSDPA signal ng Globe at d bumibitaw lalo na sa gabi. Minsan bumibitaw din sa umaga dahil marami sigurong gumagamit. Pero yung SMARTBRO, ichallenge ko kayo, punta kayo sa area ko, same distance ang GLOBE at SMART cellsite pero walang 3G coverage ng SMART doon samantalang 3 pa Tower nila. Nagwo-work ako sa Masinloc, Zambales. As I observed, kasi parehong walang 3G coverage doon both network, hanggang GPRS lang makukuha mong signal. And the sad thing is, kahit mas malapit tower ng Globe doon, madalang kang makapagconnect. Kaya sa mga network providers natin, advertise only what is true. Don’t exaggerate your commercials just to enticed users to buy/patronize your product. In fairness naman sa kanila, wag nyo namang masyadong tirahin mga network providers natin. Aburido nga kayo pag naiiwan cellphone nyo sa bahay o wala kayong nakukuhang signal dahil wala kayong natatangagap na messages o call man lang. BE FAIR, BE SMART…Let’s make our GLOBE a wonderful place to live in…
eh un naman pla eh, dapat dna cla tmatangap ng subscriber sa lugar na congested, dapat magadag cla facilities, wala plang coverage eh bkit pilit silang kumukuha ng subscriber sa lugar na walang coverage, dapat ngvivisibility check muna cla sa lugar bago magsalpak sa over crowded na plang tower. wag ka mgsalita ng bobo na kla mo matalino ka…kung d lng tinitipid ng globe ung bandwidth na binabato nila sa mga base station nila kya nagaagawan lhat ng subscriber nila sa kakarampot na banwidth…at wala kami pakialam kung aburido sila dahil responsibilad nila un…depende pla sa lugar bkit pa nila sasalpakan ng bagong costumer ung over crowded na na mga tower nila….ikaw ang bobo
Palpak talaga ang globe. Kahit hindi nagloload ang page binabayaran. I spent 100 just opening my e-mail and then it got disconnected. Hello mga senador at congressman, imbestigahan ang kadayaan ng globe!
NO difference. Parehas wa kwents.
Ur right.globe’s crap. nonsense.
screw globe!
nabasa ko mga posts d2! grabe pla. meron pang tapat na ng globe wla pa dn signal. Lol
balak ko pa nmng magpalit, for a change lang. maganda daw kasi globe. pero sa mga nabasa ko ngeon. haha.. d na lang pala. Smartbro user here. smart is good.:)
Kahit po malapit kayo sa tower kung di naman dun ang service tower nyo wala rin po. baka sa ibang malayo na tower yun.
Option..hanapin nyo yung service tower nyo or ask muna sa mga ISP kung may service sila sa area nyo.
lagyan nyo ng external antenna ang mga USB modem as long as may External antenna connector sya.
Sa http://www.roughclaw.com may pang external sila na match sa connector ng USB like sa akin na E156C.
Pwede rin sa E160, B933 or any huawei device na may CRC9 connector
Baka mag improve or stable ang link nyo.
well.. i can say that all advertisment is FALLACIOUS. it’s up to you tobelieve or not.
para sakin maganda globe tattoo nakakapaglaro p ko ng 2029 online game….. kaya lang bkit pag 8:00 PM to 7:30 am wala akong signal dun lang ako nabwibwisit!!!!! hwhahahahaha

You’ll regret with what you what you’ll be paying for.
Globe brag about their speed.. pfff…WTF
Coudn’t even open a google page for that.
PUTANGINANG GLOBE!
Yun lang po.
advise ko lang yung mga nagbabalak mag wimax sa area nang mining to baliti, pls think a thousand times before applying for one. i got the taste of frustration using it. to prove it, i have two job orders provided for me by their customer service team. meaning, hindi lang once, twice, but a lot of times nang pinuntahan sa bahay para ayusin ang signal.. yep, SIGNAL!! mabilis nga, pero pag sapit nang gabi, wala nang SIGNAL!! aabot na yun till 12 noon. saklap! harang talaga!! i felt short-changed!! to top it all, the last repair they did was to extend my antenna post to 20 FEET from the roof of the house. try to imagine, 20 FEET!! punyeta, nag mukhang cellsite bahay ko. lahat ng taong nakakapansin, natatawa sa itsura. kahit ngayon, i bet natawa kayo. i’ll post some pictures sa web..
Putang inang globe tattoo yan puno ang signal bars pero ang speed 10.kpbs tapos minsan zero. Sinubukan kong mag experiment ang pumunta talaga sa cell site ng globe dito sa amin as in nasa harap na ako ng cell site. Putang ina naman pala kahit nasa mukha muna cell site nila ganun parin speed. Anu ba yan yan ang fastest growing broadband chuchu??? hindi ko pa na try smart ma try nga minsan.
i just wanna watch porn but,the internet is soooo slow.
GLOBE VISIBILITY OK…MALAKAS SIGNAL DITO>>>>PWERA SA MGA NA BWISIT>>>>>DISGURO MARUNONG GUMAMIT>>>NAGMURA LANG>>>
guys, it’s not a matter of who’s telling the truth or not. i think it’s a matter of location. if you think globe sucks because you can’t get the speed you expected, try asking other houses on your area. in my house, globe is better than pldt. since i was in highschool (im postgrad already) this was the issue. isp bonanza vs some isp dial up cards i cant remember. my classmate tells one sucks and the other one is good, then another disagrees. now the fight is between broadbands. i think it’s because of your location. pldt sucks in my area (and the line operators sucks too) globe has decent speed here (and i also like the communication skills of the operators). i haven’t tried bayantel, some say it’s fast, some say it’s slow.
