Philippine Group accuses Globe of using data cap to hide network problems

Ayala-led Globe Telecom is merely using Internet volume data capping, through the imposition of a “fair use policy”, to hide problems in network capacity, a consumer group said in a statement.

TxtPower, through its president Ian Anthony Cruz, branded Globe’s move as deceptive and should be investigated by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC). Read the whole article here http://newsbytes.ph/2011/04/07/group-accuses-globe-of-using-data-cap-to-hide-network-problems/

For sure Globe wants to cram more customers in its network to make more money instead of blaming the customers using their advertised unlimited or has the definition of unlimited changed? Why dont they just state upfront its no longer unlimited and give the cap and speed they guarantee?

Consumer groups have said that companies should invest to bolster their networks instead of penalizing users. click here to read complete article
