Globe Rolls Out Modernization in Cebu

By Jun Tariman

In a text message broadcast recently to its subscribers in Cebu (or perhaps the whole of the Visayas), Globe Telecoms said the network is changing its equipment and technology “for better experience“.

It says Globe is currently implementing its modern network to achieve reliability of calls and texts, faster downloads and surfing. However, the implementation phase has yet to arrive though it’s been scheduled already in our locality. Globe said the modernization will soon arrive in our area and another text will be sent to its subscribers in Cebu in the next couple of days (or weeks?) regarding the actual schedule of the modernization program.

Since the past few months, Globe subscribers in Cebu have been complaining of poor signal in their broadband connection both at home and in mobile devices. Industry sources hinted that this is probably due to network congestion problem.

  8. globe has now connected all of its residential customers to the fair use policy that automatically cuts your speed by 30 percent after dowload 7 gigs per day of info to include songs and movies your speed will return to nomal at 12 midnite the only cheap way to avoid this probled is to get a business permitt and sing up for business class internet that automatically gives you 4 mb download speed without the fair use policy and a static ip address this will cost about 3thousand pesos a month for a wired dsl plan which i highly recomend if your buget allows as it is very stable and very fast and business class always gets repaired very fast you can mail me at c_zawel@yahoo.com for any querys

  14. UPDATE!!!! Globe said in its recent press release quoting its President and CEO Ernest Cu that proceeds of the recent P10-billion retail bond issuance of Globe Telecom will be used to partially fund the massive $700-million network modernization program which the telecom giant is currently undertaking.

    The modernization plans, Globe said includes the rolling out of 10,000 kilometers of fiber optic in the implementation of Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology that will bring high-speed data to mobile phones and other data terminals.
