Re: Globe, For the record, I personally don’t mind having the 1GB/3GB limits, my mobile usage isn’t that much and I have wired internet at home. (Although I wouldn’t mind higher limits - there are apps that are larger than 1GB!) But the problem is that the plans are being marketed as “UNLIMITED” (and when confronted with this, they’ll try to weasel out with technicalities like “it’s still unlimited after the cap, just 2G”) and they treat the “3%” who make the most of the UNLIMITED plan as “abusers” who are not “fair”. In my opinion, if their network can’t handle the congestion, they shouldn’t sell these plans as “UNLIMITED”.

The worst part for me is how they treat heavy users like criminals and use this as a convenient excuse to cover up their network's deficiencies. "The only people who are affected by this are people who use BitTorrent to download illegal content. So you shouldn't need to worry, riiight? (wink, wink, smirk)" Unfortunately, Globe seems to still be stuck in the early 2000s.
