(Thanks to this blog for the tip.)
Globe Telecommunications, one of the two major telco providers in the country, recently changed its Internet surfing rate to P5/15 minutes.
Previously, Globe was charging P0.15/kilobyte downloaded, which made it unsuitable for Internet surfing. However, with this rather major change in rates, Globe can now compete better with Smart.
There’s one problem, though. quago.wordpress.com explains that
The problem is, at any time during your 15 minutes and your connection is dropped for whatever reason, you will again be charged P5 upon reconnection.
Smart charges P10 every 30 minutes, no matter how many times you log out. Also, with a wider reach and better facilities, I think Smart will still rule the mobile Internet market–unless Globe does something radical and new to take over.
