One of the reasons why people refuse to go online using their Globe Handyphones is the expensive rates they charge -- Php0.15/KB. Under this pricing scheme, a 10-minute visit to a media-rich website will cost a user a lot! This is why Globe's chief rival, Smart Communications has gained a lot of subscribers because Smart has een offering GPRS/EDGE/3G access at Php10/30mins which means that no matter what kind of website is visited, the charge remains to be tied to Php10 as long as the access does not go beyond 30 minutes.
Globe has finally come to their senses and now offers GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSDPA access at Php5/15minutes! Based on my experiences, I find going online using Globe a bit faster than using a Smart. Anyway, this is a real welcome news because I am a regular (not prepaid) subscriber of Globe for the longest time now.
