Globe Tattoo Postpaid Review

May 31, 2011 By Faust Principe

Like0Facebook0Tweet0Email0

I’ve been carrying around wherever I go the NEO Basic B3357 Netbook that came bundled together with the Globe Tattoo Postpaid usb kit which has been around last September 11, 2010 and  now it’s on 8 months use this May 2011.

I brought anywhere I go when there’s blogging events – in Manila to join the first ever WordCamp 2010 and BlogFest 2010 in General Santos City.

Until recently I’ve been getting frequent gateway timeouts – even doing the simplest of browsing – I have to either press F5 key to refresh, disconnect and reconnect the Tattoo Software Dialer.

So here’s the screen cap I got awhile ago.

and the internet speedtest result:


I’m paying Php 1,300.00 a month and it’s unlimited here’s the breakdown from my paper bill charges as of May 21, 2011.
Biz Laptop Plus – Neo 3357     – Php 266.96
CSME Tattoo Unlimited 999      – Php 891.96
VAT                                                  – Php 139.07
Total                                                – Php 1,209.68

Pros:

  • Connect anywhere from any desktops, laptops, netbooks with a usb ports.
  • Mobile internet connection without the wires.
  • Convenient.

Cons:

  • Gateway timeouts.
  • I don’t know whats the exact bandwidth speed I’m subscribed to – signal seems to be fluctuating – sometimes I get 2mbps and xx kbps transmit speed.
  • Sudden disconnection while surfing.
  • No information or sms messages on service disruption, rebates or whatsoever.
  • Billing schedule – the system bills me automatically even if I have paid the scheduled billing amount. Ie: I paid my bill on May 21, 2011 in the afternoon – 2:00 o’clock pm, and for awhile the system says I have a new bill that is due on or before June 10, 2011. Does this mean I have to pay in two months advance?

I know some of you still remember the outages caused by the fiber cut last May 9, 2011, affected were the Visayas and Mindanao area – I was also affected – I haven’t been informed yet of any compensation as of press time.

    haven’t tried globe tattoo. was able to try postpaid and prepaid from smart bro though. it got really slow then i switch to sun broadband. the speed/bandwith is also fluctuating but everything’s good. except for weekends especially during night time.

      i think sun’s service is affected by smart’s move in acquiring, encroaching their broadband’s service i hope im wrong..

    Well, I was a Globe Tattoo user for almost a year though I was using their prepaid service. I find it very accessible in hard to reach places like in municipalities and it is an ideal thing to use while on travel. 🙂

    Good thing Globe Tattoo changed the way I use the internet. Bad thing my dongle didn’t last. RIP. :'(

    And now, I’m stuck to my friend’s Smart Bro USB Dongle which is not that cool. :'(
