PH broadband prices have dropped by more than 60% since 2016

Sustained efforts by Globe to improve its network performance over the years have resulted in more affordable internet services to its broadband customers.

Since 2016, the *prices per gigabyte (GB) of all Globe broadband services such as Globe At Home Prepaid WiFi, Globe At Home Postpaid VDSL and Fiber and Globe at Home Postpaid LTE have gone down by more than 60% in the last four years.

“Investments in the network are done every year to improve internet experience at home. We use the latest technologies such as 4G/LTE and  5G to improve speed and quality  of experience.  We are also accelerating the deployment of fiber optic cables to provide a seamless experience for multiple internet users inside the home. As we widen our footprint for broadband, we likewise make the services more affordable. We have a whole range of broadband offers suited to one’s budget and internet usage,” said Darius Delgado, Head of Broadband Business at Globe.
