Globe WiMAX internet arrived

streaming and online gaming.

Expected to pose competition against the Smart Fixed Wireless
Broadband, the WiMAX was earlier said to be made available in South
Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Globe is first in the Philippines to launch Wimax. Available starting
March 2009, the company's WIMAX package is a high-speed Internet plan
that lets users surf the web at speeds of up to 512kbps for only
PHP795 per month. The package also comes with an aggressive money-back
guarantee. "We challenge anyone with a competitive wireless
subscription to try out our Wimax-backed plans. We are so confident
with our service that we challenge you try out our connection,
risk-free. Should you be unhappy with the connection within one month
from installation, we'll give you your money-back, no questions
asked," says Menchi Orlina, head of the Consumer Broadband Business
Group.

The service is initially available in selected areas in South Luzon,
Visayas, and Mindanao. Globe will continue to roll-out hundreds of
WiMAX sites, as a complement to its existing DSL and 3G internet
facilities, to ensure the internet gets to every Filipino who needs
it.

Interested households may call (02)919-8888 or visit the nearest Globe
Payments and Services centers for further inquiries.

At Php799 per month, subscribers can get up to 512Kbps of internet
connection speed.
