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.

been reading this thread long ago eversince yung GLOBE net namin ay halos di na maka browse at laging intermittent.
i use all whats been posted here try manually from TCP/Ip manually configured plus yung zte modem page to also manual config.
everything walang pagbabago.
my external antenna din kami
natawagan ko na ang CSR at pinuntahan na din nila ang unit at subscription.
wala pa din
isa lang ang ibig sabihin
change to other internet services like PLDT, BAYANTEl etc etc.
dati kaming naka smartBRO
since need namin ng landphone
napilitang mag switch sa globe
what happened next hirap na kaming kumuha sa PLDT for another subscription..(pending balances) sheett.

pagnagbi-blink ang RSSI led (Radio Signal Strength Indicator) ibig sabihin nyan eh mahina signal mo sa lugar nyo.
meron ba u antenna ng MF600, ako meron pero ngayon nagbi-blink parati ung RSSI ko at sa tingin ko eh la diperensya ang speed ng connection khit nablink o hindi, kase nakaka 400kbps me sa madaling araw khit na nablink (di tulad ng unang buwan ng subcription ko na nakaka 1mbps kapag madaling araw)
tpos minsan di n blink 50kbps nmn o la talaga, wierd grabe!

tanong ko lng pa sa mga globe user dito kung parati bang green ung network indicator nyo sa mga bittorrent client nyo.
Date kase eh di man lng me mka green khit well seeded ang torrent, pero sa june parating green kung well seeded ung torrent at nakaka 500kbps(3 times a week, duration: 2-5 hours) ang max DL speed ko, at most of the time 200kbps lowest na ang 100kbps!!
pero weird, bkit ang ganda ng speed ko khit na blink ung RSSI ko?(note: may external antenna me at OPEN DNS w/ good IP ang gamet ko)
