FAIR USE POLICY – PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Tattoo Broadband for your Home – DSL and WiMAX
How does Globe apply the Fair Use Policy to this service?
The Tattoo@Home Broadband product was designed to provide you a steady browsing experience in the convenience of your home! With it, you can enjoy consistently fast and reliable broadband service. It even lets you stream data and download large files. But if you use this service other than its intent as mentioned, you might experience slow browsing.
Keep in mind that our Fair Use Policy applies to ALL products and services, which include special offers and/or promotions. It aims to provide you with free data usage or lower than standard usage charges, or unlimited access to data usage.
DSL and WiMAX provide the following maximum usage allowance that when exceeded will result in moderation of speed. The speed will refresh monthly or daily depending on your plan and when you availed it.
For WiMAX plans installed before May 13, 2011, the usage allowance is refreshed on a monthly basis with the following thresholds:
• For WiMAX 512 Kbps: 16 GB – 20 GB per account per month
• For WiMAX 1 Mbps: 21 GB – 25 GB per account per month
For WiMAX accounts with Speed Boost add-on or if it was installed from May 13, 2011 onwards, the usage allowance is refreshed on a daily basis with the following thresholds:
• For WiMAX 512 Kbps: 1 GB per account per day
• For WiMAX 1 Mbps: 3 GB per account per day
• For WiMAX 2 Mbps: 5 GB per account per day
For DSL accounts with Speed Boost add-on or if it was installed from November 11, 2011 onwards, the usage allowance is refreshed on a daily basis with the following thresholds:
• For DSL 1 Mbps: 3 GB per account per day
• For DSL 2 Mbps: 5 GB per account per day
• For DSL 3 Mbps: 7 GB per account per day
• For DSL 5 Mbps: 7 GB per account per day
What net activities can I do with a usage allowance of 1GB? Don’t you think that bandwidth is too low?
There are lots of online activities you can do with 1 GB! You can:
Browse up to 10,486 web pages (100 Kb web page)
Send and receive up to 2,048 plain text emails (500 Kb emails)
Upload/download up to 1,020 photos (1 MB photo)
Download up to 246 songs (4 MB song)
1 movie (700 MB video file)
Will I be affected by this policy?
If you do not share or download large files from the Internet, rest assured that you will not be affected by Globe’s Fair Use Policy. Media streaming and downloading of torrents contribute to extensive use of bandwidth capacity and if left permanently on may cause you to break this policy.
What will happen if my usage requirement is high?
To fully enjoy Tattoo@Home Broadband services, make a quick assessment of your usage. If it is more than the Plan you subscribed for, then go ahead and upgrade your plan to suit your usage requirement and lifestyle.
Occasional high bandwidth usage is unlikely a cause for concern. However, regular high bandwidth usage may require you to upgrade your plan to optimize use of your broadband service.
