    I had globe for 3 years, waist of time IMO. Got PLDT Home Fibre never had a problem great speeds paid for 20 Mbps getting around 20/28 Mbps

    Your location is going to be what determines your service quality with any ISP. If they have oversold their bandwidth, which is very common, the service is going to be crap. You also may have great service at first but find that later they have sold more bandwidth than the lines/towers can handle which causes your speeds to go to sh*t.

    Before we were on Globe post paid High Speed Broadband through the phone line (not direct fibre) it ran around 13 -15Gbs most days cost P1, 890 a month... .excellent speed for out purposes but the only thing with Globe
    is it goes off for odd periods most days 10-30mins which is a pain in the @ss.

    If you are close to the highway it will be ok.
    But i live in Bacong as well (400 meters from the highway) and they couldn't reach my house so instead i took the PLDT LTE which runs well i can't complain much.
    1899 a month for 15mbps and 100Gig data (not unlimited!).
    Typical torrent download speed is 1.4mb/s.
    My advice is stay away from Globe at all coast.
