UPDATE: FINAL REVIEW: Globe at Home Prepaid Wifi is not worth it
I have wondered why Globe has a home prepaid wifi. For people who are not aware, the Home Prepaid Wifi of is a product of Globe Telecom and it is an LTE modem and wifi router device that currently costs Php 1,999. It is not a plan/contract, but you have to regularly purchase load credits in order to surf the internet.
However previously it used to cost much more but I can’t find those advertisements, I think it used to be about 2,500 or 4,000 (not sure). Unfortunately, there is a fatal flaw with their product. The prepaid data plans are TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE or TOO TIME RESTRICTIVE.
All caps, beast mode.
Globe at Home Prepaid Wifi Promos (GOSURF)
The old promos are as follows
- GOSURF50 – 1gb of data, 3 days validity
- GOSURF299 – 1.5gb of data, 30 days validity
- GOSURF599 – 4gb of data, 30 days validity
- GOSURF999 – 8gb of data, 30 days validity
Now you have a wifi modem router that’s meant to be used at home, presumably by a family of 3 or more and then you have these promos. A 30 minute 720p YouTube video is almost 500 mb. It’s actually stupid. You can do multiple GOSURF50 registrations, but you can’t register a lot in one day and they will all have the same expiry of 3 days.
I find the whole thing moronic.
- 299 divided by 50 = 5gb yet GOSURF299 is only 1.5gb
- 599 divided by 50 = 11gb yet GOSURF599 is only 4gb
- 999 divided by 50 = 20gb yet GOSURF999 is only 8gb
Sure the validity is different. Go ahead and register GOSURF50 every 2-3 days. But why subject your customer to such inconveniences when you could just offer 1,000 pesos for 20gb in a month?
