Globe had put the word out that they will be implementing the “fair-use” policy wherein broadband internet users will have a limited bandwidth of 1GB per day. “Globe implemented a policy that promotes a more responsible way of using the Internet that will ensure fair and optimum usage of its broadband services across all subscribers,” according to the company's statement.

The said policy aims to crack down on abusive internet users.

In a recent internal analysis, Globe said about 5 percent of abusive subscribers use 80 percent of the available broadband Internet bandwidth in the company’s network.

This leaves only 20 percent of the capacity to be shared by 95 percent of the remaining users. [source]

Well, my take is why do the 95% of the users have to bear this cap when only 5% is abusing the service? Crack down on that 5 percent and lift the cap.

After PLDT's acquisition of Sun Cellular, subscribers are now fearing that the Unlimited Plans that they are currently enjoying will be stopped. The fear is valid. Sun Cellular's Unlimited Plans is one of the factors that made Sun popular among post paid and prepaid subscribers. In fact even Smart, which is also owned by PLDT, and Globe, owned by Ayala Corporation, had tried competing with this type of offers to its customers so as to compete with Sun.

Though it is true that PLDT announced that the unlimited plans will continue, but for how long that we do not know. Most likely 2 or 3 years max. Reason? Obviously for profit. The two biggest telcos are offering premium process until Sun offered the unlimited plans. Now that the competitor was bought, there is no reason why they will be threatened. So go ahead enjoy your unlimited call and text while it is still around.

If you have noticed something on your wall this week that you have not posted, then you are most likely the victim of a spammer who took advantage of a glitch in Facebook's photo upload system. The spammer was able to post thousands of messages this week to unsuspecting Facebook users but no accounts were compromised as a result of the bug according to Facebook.

Well, spammers will always try to get access to Facebook users for sure. It is one of the biggest networking site where marketing and sales potential is phenomenal.
