If you want to have your own WiFi, you ask yourself first if this will fit on my budget and how many users will be using the WiFi. In my case, we are only 4 people who will be using the wifi and I'm on a tight budget so I choose GFiber Prepaid over Converge Surf2Sawa, why?
Here's why :
• Gfiber Prepaid only cost PHP599(before it was PHP 999) for the modem and it is a free of charge for installation and processing.
• Once you applied for GFiber Prepaid you'll get a free 7 Days free unli internet for up to 50Mbps. Not bad right? Like a free trial!
• Speed cap up to 50Mpbs.
For Converge Surf2Sawa :
• It will cost you PHP999 for the modem and it's free of charge for installation and processing.
• Once you applied for Surf2Sawa you'll get a free 7 Days free unli internet for up to 50Mbps. Still Not bad.
• Speed cap up to 50Mbps
But, it is pretty obvious that Globe GFiber is more affordable in terms of installation, though they both offer free 7 days internet when you applied but if you're on a tight budget I suggest you go with the affordable one.
See pictures below for Globe and Converge Prepaid Internet Plans.
For Globe Gfiber Prepaid;
PHP599 only for the modem plus you'll get 7 days free internet so you can already enjoy the internet for 7 days and after 7 days that is the time you need to subscribe to their internet plans.(PHP699 for 30D)- 50Mbps speed.
For Converge Surf2Sawa;
PHP999 only for the modem and still offer free 7 days trial but after that you need to subscribe to their plan. (PHP700 for 30D) - up to 50Mbps
This is both "WIRED" internet connection, it means that there's a fiber wire connected to your modem which provides stable connection, this is not SIGNAL based.
If you're planning to get Globe Gfiber you can use this code JAKE2904 to have another 7 days free internet, this means that once your modem is activated you'll have 7 days free internet and if you use this code you will have another 7 days free internet, a total of 14 days free internet, that means you don't have to load or subscribe to their plans yet. Then after 14 Days that is the time to load the modem for PHP699 for 1 month.
Code : JAKE2904
The benefits of having PREPAID WiFi instead of POSTPAID WiFi is that prepaid WiFi doesn't have any contract and 50Mbps isn't bad for 6-8 devices connected at the same time. I'm my case, 8 devices is connected at the same time but no any issue. I've been on this ISP for almost 9 months now and never had any problems yet in terms of speed or connection.
Tip.
Once modem is activated, access the admin page and change the 2.4G channel to channel (11) and channel (116) for the 5G. The higher the frequency channel the faster the internet speed so change also the channel width for 2.4G (40Mhz) and for 5G (80Mhz).
Additionally, though it says up to 50Mbps but since then, it's always 59-60Mbps for Globe Gfiber, I'm not sure with Surf2Sawa if it is really up to 50Mbps.
See pics below of their internet plans for both and if you want to apply go to download Globe One app or you can go directly to this You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. to check if coverage in your area is available. Thank You.
