Mr Lee Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Wow! 150 mbps should make it a lot easier for foreigners to work online while living in the PHL, but the price is a little much for the average person. Amid increasing demand for higher speeds and bigger downloads, Ayala-led Globe Telecom Inc. has launched the new Globe Tattoo Torque—the fastest Internet connection for homes in the Philippines.Tattoo Torque, which offers speeds up to 150 megabytes per second (mbps), is the first direct-to-home fiber-optic cable Internet connection in the Philippines.For P2,999 a month, the entry-level plan in the new Torque line offers speed of as fast as 6 mbps, which is already three times faster than the normal digital subscriber line or DSL plans in the market today.The 100 mbps plan, which is the fastest available today, costs P14,999 a month. This is still slower than the 112-mbps Internet connections currently offered by cable company SkyBroadband.But Ronquillo said by March, Globe plans to launch 150-mbps plans, which will cost around P20,000 a month.The complete story HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
