The seo noob within me is now back sharing some information in attracting organic blog traffic while sharing some helpful insight about a specific topic like this for example. Bypass Globe FUP is a keyword that is most searched according to the Google Trend. A breakout as describe!
As of today, there is only 6,450 websites fighting for this keyword (not bad for a breakout keyword). If this will continue and with the proper set up of some optimization techniques, there is a higher chance of me, getting on top the search engines out there! I am expecting additional monthly visitors in this blog alone and it means more income in 2016!
It's been my great interest to do something geeky with my data connection. Ever since I started blogging, I never miss in sharing some of me experiences with my current internet service providers/ ISP although all of them did not really work out. You know, internet connection in the Philippines is such a scarcity.
That is also the main reason why most of the people here are coming with different types of ideas on how to make the most out of every penny they spend on their monthly internet bill whether it is for Globe, Smart, Sun Broadband and even PLDT.
I am interested in bypassing the data limit of Globe and Smart's internet promo. I am sure everyone know all about Fair Usage Policy / FUP that gives limit to our data plan.
What's bad about it is that they are advertising an unlimited internet service for a certain amount however, we are not actually getting what we deserved. Philippine internet service providers are huge mess.
That is correct. I have accidentally bypassed my 3GB monthly data limit on my SUPERSURF999 subscription. First of all, I decided to make a series of blog post with regards to my experiences with Globe's internet subscription since I always have something to say about its interesting and deceiving policy that should never exist.
Quick recap, SUPERSURF999 allows its users to browse the internet for one whole month but wait, there is more. It is unlimited BUT there is a limit. It is 800MB everyday and 3GB for a month whichever comes first. If you have reached your limit, your signal will be lowered down to 2G so loading pages from different websites or even gooogle will be ultra mega super slow. That is what they call, Fair Usage Policy. FU, Globe Telco!
While looking for an alternative for my prepaid internet subscription by next month, I saw this promo from Smart called, Unli Surf 999. According to the plan description, you get 30 days of unlimited mobile surfing with the new Smart Unli Surf 999 for only Php 999 pesos!
Since PLDT has some billing issues, I have decided to cancel my myDSL account early in October and thought of not trying any postpaid plans when it comes to my internet connection because I have tried all of them already; SmartBro Wimax, Globe, Sun Broadband, PLDT and even the worse of them, WiTribe.
As you can see, I have been trying to survive my blogging hobby by means of using my mobile hotspot. Thanks to Globe's prepaid internet promos like SUPERSURF.
SUPERSURF200 is one of the amazing internet promo of Globe wherein you will be registered to a 5-days unlimited internet access. You can do it by texting SUPERSURF200 then send to 8888. Today is my 4th day already and I am doing everything that I could to maximize my unlimited internet.
In my previous post, I asked if there is a data capping or Fair Usage Policy included in this specific promo and the answer is; Yes there is a data limit for 800 MB daily!
Technically, what happened was I have reached my 800 MB limit during the afternoon so Globe texted me and said:
GLOBE Advisory:Your data subscription for today has reached 800mb. Your remaining browsing hours will resume tomorrow subject to promo validity. You may opt to forfeit your remaining subscription to browse for P5/15 or you may dial *143# for FREE and press “CALL” to register to any surfing promo. To unsubscribe text SUPERSURF STOP or POWERSURF STOP to 8888.Guided by Globe Acceptable Use Policy. -8888After I received the text, I noticed that my internet became ultra slower I cannot even open this blog using my phone's hotspot. I know Globe's internet is slow but it became 10x slower. Good thing is that after 2 midnight, my internet connection came back to what's normal.
Right now, since my PLDT connection is still not working, I am thinking of registering to SUPERSURF999 for an unlimited internet for 1 month or maybe I will try Smart maybe it is faster.
Can you share your experiences about this data capping or Fair Usage Policy of Globe and all other telecomms?
I am very sorry for not updating this blog and my fashion blog for men because my internet service provider, PLDT is acting up! It has been three days now when I noticed that I am connected to my WIFI but cannot access the internet and when I try to call PLDT customer service, they keep on saying that they are working on it and they are going to fix it as soon as they can. Next time I will call, I will be an irate customer and will definitely get the full name and agent ID of the person who will be assisting me. Too bad for whoever you are.
So now, I am temporarily using my Globe LTE sim card that is registered to SUPERSURF200 with 5 days of unlimited internet service. I am still monitoring it and as much as possible, I am not limiting my data usage so I can check if Fair Usage Policy or FUP will apply to this one.
This is the second part of my entry about my disgust about SmartBro Wimax/ Smart Communications or whatever you call them because of the service I am getting from them as a customer.
The main reason why I am really upset about them is because of their Fair Usage Policy or what they also call as FUP. It is where you reach your limit of internet usage (60 GB per month) and they lower down the speed of your internet despite the fact that they are advertising UNLIMITED INTERNET SURFING!
Isn't it aggravating when you are paying your monthly bill without a miss or delay and the fact that it is included in my monthly budget that is supposed to be for something more important like brand new clothes or shoes or savings for my car. And the money that I am paying is from my hard work, I just don't poop the money out just to pay my bills -- I hope you understand my point Smart Communications because I am really upset right now.
