After months of having problem with the PLDT modem, used for connecting to MyDSL, they finally replaced it but with a charge of 1,200php to our next bill.

What problem will you encounter with the modem?

As time pass by, the modem will be old and just like every modern appliance or gadget, every electronics will expire after a year or two.

The problem we encounter with ours is that our Router (LAN) is having problem connecting to the modem. They said it’s because of the Ethernet socket but that’s what we told them when we called 172.

Are you having problems connecting to your MyDSL?

If you’re a subscriber for more than a year, it’s good to have the modem checked. When PLDT replaced the modem yesterday, we can connect smoothly again. (Router, 2 PCs, and wireless devices)

It has been 6 months now since we first used the Wi-tribe “4G” connection and damn we regret having a 1 year plan fir that.

First of all, the connection is not so 4G after all. Second is, SMART BRO is even faster and has more coverage than Wi-tribe. Most of all, my internet connection in my phone (3G) feels faster!

So how do you speed up or boost your Wi-tribe internet connection?

Simple! Get a different connection that has been proven by the test of time (PLDT myDSL, SMART BRO, etc…) and throw your “4G” Wi-tribe.

Apparently, after my girlfriend subscribed to Wi-tribe 4G, it only works within Makati, Mandaluyong and Pasig. Elsewhere, it sucks.

After going home to Kaloocan, this “4G” doesn’t work at all.

Actually Smart Bro is even faster and reliable. So to the early adopters of Wi-tribe 4G… lucky you if you’re near or within the Cities above.

Have you noticed that on your first month of your iPhone plan with Globe, your bill will be so big, it reaches from 5,000php to 11,000php?

This happens especially if you signed up for a Time-based Data Plan and you never turn-off or change the APN settings of your iPhone.

First time iPhone user? GO KB-Data Plan

I admit, I’ve paid Globe the 9,000php bill on me even if I know it feels like a scam since my Internet at home is only 1,999php and when I thought I’m only using the wi-fi of my home internet, Globe is still charging my internet access. The culprit–Time-based Data Plan.

The solution is easy; if you’re someone who wants to be online 24/7, then change your plan to KB-based.

How to change your Globe iPhone Plan?

1. Call 211 – Believe me, it’s faster calling 211 than going to their website or via their live chat support.
2. Tell them that they scammed you through your whopping bill (lol) and Request for a change of data plan from Time-based to KB-based.
3. (Optional) If you’re persuasive enough to request them that they should reverse your OVER-CHARGED bill and erase the history of Globe’s Scam, then good for you.

So for those planning to get an iPhone here in the Philippines, make sure you go KB-Based Data Plan and avoid becoming the victim of Globe Telecom’s Scam.
