Globe Wireless Broadband – Selective Browsing

Written By: Louis James Diaz Google+
Ok so, I woke up around 10 am and to my surprise, my internet connection was crappy.. very. I can see that my wireless modem can connect to the internet, but I could not browse anything (well maybe a few, as in few, 2 sites to be exact, google.com and lycos mail). All the bad things, nightmares, whatever you call it, that other globe wireless users are crying out load, are beginning to sunk in to my head. All of the ramblings are beginning to sink in my head. I was so frustrated that I was tempted to call the customer service representatives of globe, but HELL NO!, these representatives or whatever they call themselves, does not know a thing! and I mean it. Why? well they all have the same script, “Our system is having service upgrade / please monitor it for 24 to 48 hours / our technician will arrive at your place within 24 hours”… and the like. Well so much of those candy coated lies!! Don’t assume that customers who complain does not know anything (most of them do, mind you), and dont assume that you (csr) know everything, matter of fact its the other way around. I know Im mean but its either you agree with me or disagree with the rest of the world.
Im sorry about those csr’s that really do know what they are doing, but its just that you will be branded like the incompetent ones since the fault of one usually is the fault of all (specially if its a bad thing).
I always do try to fix everything myself first before calling for any help, in this case, the crappy selective browsing of globe wireless broadband. What I did was to tinker with the settings of my ZTE MF600 modem to see if it can somehow solve the problem. Successfully I managed to get an internet connection, but still is ot fast enough to browse the usual photo heavy or video heavy sites, but just enough for me to browse for help online through forums who also share the same problem.
And of course like what they say “Google is your friend”. I was able to fix my modem (ZTE MF600) plus with whopping speeds that exceeds the planned speed that I applied for. What I found out was that it was a DNS server problem. So instead of auto configuring the DNS properties, I set it manually thru the modem. Below is the list of DNS values that works for Globe Wireless Broadband users:
Globe DNS:
202.52.163.6 Primary
202.52.163.7 Secondary
202.126.40.5 Primary
202.95.226.66 Secondary
202.52.162.39 Primary
202.52.162.40 Secondary
202.95.226.66 Primary
202.95.226.77 Secondary
Special DNS Servers:
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
Open DNS:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Well I’ll still monitor if there will be any changes in the speed and browsing behavior. So if there are any of you that has the same problem but still can’t fix it, just leave a comment and I’ll help you soon as I can.

hmm I have no idea, pero kasi nakadepende talaga sa location mo yan bro kasi signal ang basehan jan eh.. actually sakin nga umaabot ng 1.9 mbps, tignan mo sa post ko dito >> http://tinyurl.com/globewireless
sana ginawa mo before ka nag globe wireless nagpatest ka muna sa location mo ng signal, or kung wala man magtetest check mo ung 3G signal sa phone mo if ever 3G capable man and tignan mo kung malakas ang 3G signal, kasi sa 3G signal nakarely ang globe wireless broadband eh

@sir jamez..
hmmm bago pa lang po ako sa globe.. mga ilang days pa lang..
kaso prang nakakabadtrip agad eh.. mabilis download speed koh.. umaabot sa 400+kbps.. pero putOl2x.. di ako makapaglaro ng online games ng maaus kasi palaging disconnect sa server.. hirap pa naman 2loy mag log`in sa silkroad online..
then sa GG poh.. ang sama ng ping ko.. 4 pings ako sa mata ng iba..
wala magpapasali sa akin sa mga game…
sinubukan ko po ung DNS tweak nyo.. pero ganun pa rin.. ginawa ko na lahat.. pinagpalit-palit ko na mga DNS pero mas lalong sumama..
hmmm.. ask ko lang kung ganun lang ba ang globe sa umpisa? or tuloy-tuloy na toh na masama connection..
sa mga nabasa ko eh.. puro sila nagkakaproblema..
pde pa po ba akong mag quit sa contract? di ko na itutuloy toh.. lilipat nlng kasi ako sa smartbroken or PLDC. eh kung pde kung cancel ang contract.. panu poh?

Anyone noticed that Globe Wireless Broadband has had a whopping speed??
Biglang bumilis ang Globe ngaun! I don’t know pero I just checked it and highest na nakuha ko is 1.9Mbps!!!
hindi ko alam kung dito lang sa location ko ito but Im sure ang bilis bilis niya! in 3 minutes tapos ung 20mb file na dinadownlad ko!
Im gonna make a post regarding these! I took screenshots! woohoo!! Have Globe finally decided to give us the speed that we need? Well 512 kbps lang naman ang contract natin sa kanila pero 1.9Mbps ang binigay nila! woohoo, sana ganito na lang wag na sana nila baguhin!!

pero mukha ngang mas mabilis ang auto DNS kaysa sa open DNS? tingin ko lang ah? kasi ganun din saken eh.

No, I dont recommend Auto DNS, Image compression and whatnot, well it just case to case basis. Baka location ang problem mo? Open DNS is one of the best dns out there.. just google “Open Dns” to see what I mean.

Completely useless dns! Better opt for autodns! Hai, is there any information i could really use? None of the above dns servers works.
