Globe Broadband Tattoo Is The Price Worth It?

If you are thinking that Globe Broadband Tattoo is worth the hype, then read on.
Well, I am planning to try Globe Broadband’s repacked product Globe Visibility, now called Globe Broadband Tattoo, and based from what the package says, it supports up to 2Mbps of speed, but I reckon it.
From one look I can say that its just marketing, maybe Globe Broadband Tattoo is fast but not as fast as what Globe themselves say. The 2Mbps that they are saying on their Globe Tattoo product is only the data transfer that the usb modem uses to communicate to the computer and not from internet to usb. (Im gonna cover this Internet Service Provider Marketing Strategy on a separate post.)
Anyway, is Globe Broadband Tattoo worth it? One thing that I can tell is that, if you are always on the go, and need mobility and fidelity over internet usage then Globe Broadband Tattoo is for you. You can also try to other mobile internet brands like Smart Bro and oh yeah, even the Globe Wireless Broadband with the ZTE MF600 modem! LOL, but seriously, if you are always traveling and needs mobility the maybe just maybe, Globe Broadband Tattoo is for you. If you do not want to “leech” or use a free wifi service on a place that you would be going to (e.g. malls, coffee shops) then Globe Broadband Tattoo is for you.
Is it worth it? Well, the Globe Broadband Tattoo Prepaid kit is, since you are only paying for the amount of internet usage and not as a whole. By the way the Globe Broadband Tattoo Prepaid only charges 5 pesos per 15 minutes and dont worry, Globe Broadband Tattoo uses the Duration Based Charging System which means you are only charged for the internet time that you have used and not by the number of reconnections that you have had. Globe Broadband Tattoo will charge you 5 pesos for 15 minutes of internet which means if you only logged in for 3 minutes, you would still have 12 minutes that you can still use for the next day or two. As long as you have not used your Globe Broadband Tattoo, you wont be charged for more.
So if you are planning to use a mobile wireless internet, then why not try Globe Broadband Tattoo?

I’m a postpaid subscriber of globe tattoo 1499. The plan includes 120 hours of surfing and unlimited wifi access to any globequest wiz hotspot.
The connection is VERY UNSTABLE. I access it at the office or at my condo and I’m always only in one spot. I don’t go to other rooms, heck I don’t even shift my laptops position when I access the broadband.
Nevertheless, my download speed would go from 150kbps to 0.25kbps in a matter of minutes. Whats worse is that it stays at 0.25 kbps unless I disconnect my line and reconnect it again. Then it’ll start to download at high speeds until about 30minutes, where the download speed will go back to the glacial 0.25kbps.
All of this happens when I’m connected to HSDPA, no changing bands, it was always HSDPA.
I access my broadband in Makati and the HSDPA signal is ALWAYS full but the speeds are never consistent.
So I opted for an alternative, using the unlimited WIZ WIFI, that comes with the plan 1499. BUT GLOBE, it seems, NEVER wants to provide you the service that you paid for.
You can’t access the wifi unless you send an sms request for your WIZ username and password. The SMS costs P2.50 every request and the password that will be sent to you is only usable for 24 hours.
So if you wanted to use it everyday, you’d be charged an additional P2.50 on top of the amount you pay for your plan. That translates to an additional P75 per month!
I requested for a permanent password through their CSR but I was informed that one CANNOT get a permanent password, and that I will just have to make do with requesting for a password everyday and paying the P2.50 everyday.
I wanted to have my line cut, but they said I had to pay P10,000 because I’m still under the lock in period.
So are you thinking about subscribing to globe tattoo?
I would advice AGAINST it. Try smart brooadband instead.

just want to share… I’m using globe tattoo… connection is unstable… speed ok lang sana kaso bumibitaw.
kaya nag hahanap ako way baka ma tweak pa signal. Kapag nag steady cguro puede na pag tyagaan.
I’ll try using windsurfer… baka umasenso signal at maging stable.

not worth it….. the speed is snail paced even if hsdpa reads a full strength. i dont think you can say it depends on the area, the hsdpa reads full strength. better go to a wifi area and do your net things there, go burgerking just get a drink mga 40 lang and you can surf til u drop. cheaper than loading up on tattoo 100 for one hour? you’re lucky if you can open your yahoo mail with that load……. ubos na load di ka pa nakalog in
