Globe GPRS/3G/HSDPA introduces new rate (5 pesos per 15 minutes)
Globe Telecom introduces Time Browsing Rate for their GPRS/3G/HSDPA users.

Time Browsing rate effective upon receipt of text confirmation. Succeeding connections will be charged P5 for 15 minutes. If disconnected within the 15 minutes, reconnection will be considered a new session charged at P5. No refund will be made if disconnected before the 15 minutes are up.

some relatives and friends do experience the same thing, and i know this is an issue true only with prepaid subscribers. i am on postpaid and have been enjoying this for the past few days. ang galing-galing! lalo na you’re on 3g coverage. i have develeoped a new habit of watching youtube videos (through vtap.com) while lying in bed (na hindi ko magawa with my laptop); and i laso am able to download full mp3s using wuzam.com, with each file taking anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes to download. sa totoo lang, mas mabilis ito kesa sa smart bro service namin sa bahay.

Im using TM right now, may 3G service available na ba para sa TM? I hope meron na rin para di na kailangan mag bago ng sim.

mas ok ang SMART 3G connection… if used in laptop or pc internet… it can connect Mirc, Limewire and Yahoo Messenger easily… Globe 3G 5.00 is so dumb! it only works if you browse sites through web browsers… but can’t connect Mirc, limewire, ym… etc…. it always states connection time out!
