Globe Wireless Broadband – Selective Browsing
Categories: Featured, Internet, Rambles, Rants, Raves, Tips & Tricks
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.

@ezrazak
first of all, thanks for appreciatiing my posts glad that it helped you somehow.
now my next question is:
Pano nyo po ba pinaterminate ung Globe Wireless nyo po? If it is thru phone lang, rest assured… hindi pa nila iteterminate yan..
Pero kung personally nyo papa terminate yan, may papers pa kau na fifillup-an and hindi nyo un mafifill-upan unless maibigay nyo sa kanila ung unit ng modem.. Dun sa termination paper kasi magpipirmahan kau nung globe agent dun sa paper na pinapaterminate nyo na talaga ung account nyo.
yung paper na yun ang magiging evidence nyo na hindi na kau nakasubscribe sa Globe Wireless, hence, you now have the right na hindi bayaran ung mga susunod na bills nyo (when i say “susunod” it means ung following months na wala na sa inyo ung modem. it does not mean na wala ka na babayaran na bill after ipa terminate, meron ka pa babayaran na one last bill kasi ang cut off nila is every 25th of the month eh. so it means na if for example you terminated it on 15th of the month, babayaran nyo po un last bill nyo from 1st-15th of the month, sila na magbabawas at magcocompute ng bill yo from 1-15th, nagamit man po un or hindi as long as may connection nung 1-15th)
from your post, hindi mo po nabanggit na may pinirmahan and finill-upan kau na paper so I must assume na hindi nyo pinadisconnect un personally.
which means…
tuloy tuloy pa din ung connection nyo po.

hellow po matagal na po akong nagbabasa sa mga post nyo.and this is ,my 1st time to post . thnks po and more power dahil helpfull tips po lahat..
my ask lng po ako about po sa pag papaterminate ng connection and 1month na ang nakakalipas nung pinaterminate po ng ate ko ang globeliness wireless nimin and were are using mf600. naasar napo kasi yung ate dahil sa sobrang pangit ng service ng globeliness dito samin. pasig place po kami. and about po sa pagpapaterminate ng connection ok naman po meron naman recieve and question kung bakit ipapaterminate.. so my sister rply and sinabi nya lahat ang naging problem them ang sabi panga ng globe ung billing for the month of march and may ay di na namin babayaran. eh syempre alana problem them tinabi namin ung unit..
then 3weeks na di panila kunuha ung unit. then one night i try to connect it to try kung meron pang connection and then meron pa.. nakakabahala lng po kasi baka meron nanamang dumating na billing BTW naka pldtmydsl nakami ngayun
and paano po ba ito kasi nkalagay sa contract kung magpapaterminate kami ay dapat isauli namin ung unit ng maayos.. ok nman maayus naman kaso dipa sya putol meron parin syang connection ganun batalaga inaabot ng ilang buwan pag magpapaterminate ka. and sabi pa ng kaibigan ko dinadaw kukunin ung unit kasi sakanila dinakinuha siya din pinaputol na nya dahil nga nakakaasar nasya

[...] might seem similar to Globe Wireless Broadband Tweak for the ZTE MF600 Modem, since the Globe Tattoo Tweak is also focused on changing the DNS addresses [...]

hehe, thanks for the help, by the way iaad ko lng kay johnny, I was able to download at rapidshare using globe wireless broadband pero madaling araw na. its possible talaga its just that pahirapan lang talaga, sa dami natin na globe wireless subscribers and sa dami ng nagdodownload, ika nga, blockbuster hit ang pagdownload sa file sharing sites.
oh and by the way, yung mga luma nating ip’s like the famous 203.177.91.252, akala natin nawala na, nalipat lang pala sa globe broadband tattoo.
may mga commenters sa mga broadband tattoo blog posts ko at nakikita ko mga IP address nila, and ang gamit nila is ung dati natin ginagamit dito sa ZTE MF600 modem natin….
I am planning to buy a globe tattoo para ma try ko rin ung speed nya compared to our planned wireless. Somehow a good move for globe kasi nga hindi nman ganun kadami ang gumagamit ng globe tattoo, even though kahapon nung nagtanong tanong ako halos puro sold out maski sa globe center mismo..
panigurado machochoke and ip’s pagnagkaganun and mararamdaman ng globe tattoo users ung naramdaman natin nung tau gumagamit ng lumang IP’s hehe.
