Wi-tribe 4G Internet Broadband, is it any good?
Written by Keeyo on March 17th, 2010
4G internet broadband is now here with 1Mbps consistent speed. This is what wi-tribe is offering now for a price of P998 per month.
If you look at 1Mbps consistent speed at a price of 998 per month you would say it is affordable compared to other network providers who offers up to 3Mbps for 799 but you barely get 1Mbps. But what’s the catch? Wi-tribe has a 3gig volume capacity per month. If you consumed the 3gig bandwidth your internet speed will be trimmed down to 256kbps, well it’s not consistent after all because of their fair usage policy. If you are a heavy user your 3Gig will only last for 3 days, though you can still download during off-peak hours from 1am-7am to get the 1Mbps speed.
If you plan to subscribe I suggest you ask everything you need to ask to your sales agent and better if you have a demo unit first installed in your home and test it. There is also a lock-in period of 2 years which means you have no choice but to pay Php998 per month for two years whether you will use it or not.
If you are happy with it then get it.
As for me, I will just stick to Sun broadband for now (like I have a choice) and hopefully after my 2 year contract with them Wi-tribe will increase their cap limit to 10Gb

Have anyone of you read the fair user Policy? http://www.wi-tribe.ph/fair-usage-policy if so, (there are 4 “AVOIDS” and 1 “LIMIT” across the policy) i WONT be recommending Wi-tribe since we’re really getting trouble about this policy their implementing, thats not just the case, now if the so called “SYSTEM” spotted you downloading, they will automatically slow down your speed to 0.5kb, good for 3 to 5 days or so. and yes, the “system” is being compromised, its not “system generated” at all, it’s being tweak by their IT. so if your reviewing this up to 5 stars, wow… you have a lot of profits then… how much are they paying you just to have more people fooled?

maayos yang witribe sa umpisa. after a few weeks, mas malala pa sa broadband. isipin mo na lang na P998 binabayaran mo sa 1mbps service, pero 256kbps lang yung download speed (minsan 56k lang eh) sa speedtest.com. tas pag gusto mong ipa-downgrade yung service mo, magbabayad ka pa ng P2000? ano yan, lokohan? san ka naman nakakita na 1.8gb lang yung torrent download, inabot ng 3 weeks, hindi pa ren tapos? kung pwede lang, “WAG NA KAYONG MAG-ALOK SA MGA LUGAR NA WALA KAYONG SIGNAL!!!!”, tas parang yung customer pa yung sinisisi nyo pag walang makuhang signal, eh di ba problema nyo yun? ano yung modem nyo, display?

Hay, puro kayo reklamo, witribe user ako, dating globe Wimax user, kahit globe smart sun, may fair use policy talaga kasi signal ang ginagamit nyo na dapat pang cellphone lng. Imagine kung lahat kayo naka 2mb plan? 3000 kayo in range ng tower with 240kbps per second, 240 times 3000, 720 Gb per second? sa tingin nyo kaya ng tower nila yun? lapitan natin sa makatotohanan, 100 kayo sbay sabay ng totorent 24Gb per second? Mga harddisk nyo nga di kaya magtranfer ng 1gb per second wireless pa kaya? Isip lng bago kayo magcomplain, iwanan nyu torrent nyo ng 1am-7am full speed mga torrent nyo walang cap yun, basa basa din kasi ng policy bago reklamo, at day 2mb pa rin ako torrent lng capped pero natapos ko ng mga big files na kailangan ko, gamit kayo Internet Download Manager kung mabagal download nyo sa araw kasi busy talaga traffic sa araw. Para sakin good Witribe, First week ko 1.1mbps literal downspeed ko.. ang 700mb na movie 6 mins lng tapos na.. ngayon balik na sa 2mb.. ^_^ 270 kbps downspeed and masaya… sapat yun… lastly kung gamers kayo and adik manood ng kung anu ano sa youtube… mag wired kayo… yun kaya nun traffic kahit ilan pa kayo.. wireless kasi tower sumasalo nyan, magisa lng sya sa lugar nyo… ^_^ common sense lng mga pre… text nga matagal magsend video na iaapload mo pa kaya? sabay ka pa sa traffic? maganda witribe kung normal user ka, and kung malakas ka magtorrent and download upload, iwan mo task mo sa madaling araw.. solve solve ka.. tulugan mo pagkagising mo tapos lahat…

sir Aaron:
ginawa na namin yung sinasabi nyong tulugan lang namin. hanggang ngayon, April 08, di pa ren tapos yung 1.8gb na download na inumpisahan pa nung last February. ilang buwan na sir ang nakakaraan di pa ren tapos yung download. baka naman nasa ilalim lang kayo ng tower kaya mabilis dyan senyo, dahil di man lang umaabot ng 384kbps yung download speed sameng lugar, 2am na yan ng umaga ha. check lang po sir ng lugar nyo.
