of the modem. Hold the antenna and rotate the screw cap in clockwise
direction.
2. (For INTERNET and LANDLINE Plan Only) Connect the telephone set and
modem using the supplied phone cable (RJ-11) via the phone interface
found at the back of the modem.
3. Next, connect your PC and modem using the supplied cross Ethernet

you use the service, as the modem needs to initialize, attach to the
network, and then obtain an IP address. The Radio Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI), DATA and PWR indicator should be lit.
Note: If the RSSI LED is not lit, it means that the Radio Frequency signal
is weak or the antenna screw is loose. To correct this, change the
location of the modem and make sure nothing is blocking it or check
the antenna installation again.
Make sure the RSSI LED is not blinking but is constantly lit. If the RSSI
LED is blinking, please move the modem until the RSSI LED stays
constantly lit. You should make sure that the modem is located at a
suitable place and free from obstruction (preferably near a window).

FREQUEN TLY ASKED QUES TIONS
W h at is bro a d b an d s pee d?
Broadband speed are the upload and download speeds of your connection as
affected by various elements such as the DSL technology, line conditions
and service level implemented. This may be measured in bits per second or
bytes per second.
Fast Internet connection means you don’t have to wait a long time for a
page to load or for you to download songs, videos, journals, etc. online. If
opening your mailbox took 20 seconds to load, Globe Broadband at up to
512Kbps may allow you to load that in a little over 2 seconds! Also, dial-up
speeds of up to 56Kbps seldom support services such as video streaming
and voice over Internet protocol which is a richer way to communicate with
your friends and families wherever they may be, made possible with Globe
Broadband speeds.
W hy d o y o u s ay “ u p to” whe n y o u talk abo ut the s pee d o f my
c o n ne ctio n?
Globe Broadband does not have a guaranteed speed. This means that the
speed indicated is not the promised speed at all times. These are burst
speeds, meaning your connection can go up as high as the speeds
mentioned, or sometimes even higher than these if the network allows for it.
The type of Internet connection you use is the most important factor in
determining your connection speed. Apart from these, other factors include:
a) The health of the computer being used: It should be free from viruses or
spywares that may take up the computer’s bandwidth. This may be
checked by running a full virus or spyware scan on the computer.
b) Busy websites or spreading computer viruses. These can actually slow
the entire web. If a popular website isn't prepared to handle too much
traffic, you might encounter delays in accessing these sites.
c) Local Internet congestion. These slowdowns occur when many people
try to connect to the Internet at the same time, and they occur most
often at peak activity times, such as after school hours when students
get home and connect to the web.
For Wireless Globe Broadband Plans, modem location can also affect the
Radio Frequency signal and weak signal is indicated by blinking RSSI Led or
Signal Light on the modem. To correct this, change the location of the
modem making sure it is located at a suitable place and free from
obstruction (preferably near a window).
No, there are no time restrictions with the subscription. The monthly service
fee covers unlimited surfing over Globe Broadband.
As for Internet limits, please refer to our Fair and Acceptable Use Policy.
Can I co n ne ct mo re th an o ne com p ute r to the Internet with
my s ubs c riptio n?
Since most users spend much more time downloading (which includes
viewing web pages or multimedia files) than they do uploading, high speed
Internet providers have designed their systems to give priority to
downloading thus the unequal speeds. Thus, if your upload speed appears to
be slower than your download speed, this is expected.
This depends on the new location, if the service is available in the area. This
may be checked by contacting our Customer Hotline.
Regarding the Wireless Globe Broadband, while this may still work a few
meters around your house, the service is still designed to work only at the
address you indicated on your service application form.
Yes, you will be allowed to upgrade your subscription anytime. Please visit
your nearest Globe Payments and Service Center for more information
regarding the upgrade.

As stated in the Terms and Conditions you signed upon purchase, you may
return the COMPLETE unit IN GOOD CONDITION and get a refund within 7
working days from purchase if you are unable to get a good connection in
your residence.
Beyond the 7 working days allotted after date of purchase, you may still
terminate your subscription without having to pay for a pre-termination fee
if we confirm that Wireless Globe Broadband cannot be used within the area
you indicated upon application (your address). Simply call our Customer Care
Hotline at (02) 919-8888 (for NCR/Luzon) or (032) 410-8888 (for Visayas and
Mindanao) or 171 so that our engineers can verify the complaint. If the
findings indicate that the units (either phone unit or modem) are defective
and causing the service problems, a replacement unit will be provided within
24-48 hours with no charge to the subscriber. If the findings indicate that
the Wireless Globe Broadband service cannot work properly in the residence
due to inadequate signal, the account will then be terminated with no pre-
termination fee. However, we will not rebate nor be held responsible for the
months for which the subscriber has already paid for the service because it
is the responsibility of the subscriber, as stated in the Terms and Conditions,
to return the product within 7 days if unsatisfied.
If for any reason, you will terminate your account, please note that you will
have to return the units issued under your account. These are the modem
and/or Globe handset. Both must be returned COMPLETE (including the box,
manual, cables, and power adapter) and in GOOD CONDITION.
This may be because of interference. This happens when the signal cannot
reach your unit because of an obstruction. Simply call our Customer Care
Hotline to report this occurrence. An engineer will check your area and work
on the resumption of your signal. If signal still cannot be recovered, you may
be asked to bring your modem to the nearest Globe Payments and Service
Center where we will determine what is wrong with the modem or you may
request for a home visit for our personnel to check your modem. You will
however need to pay for the necessary fees if you decide to have your
modem serviced at home.
However, if the modem is working and signal is still not recovered, you may
pre-terminate your account without being charged a pre-termination fee.
Simply report the incident to our Customer Care Hotline. An engineer will be
sent to your residence to check on the unit. Or you can proceed to the
nearest Globe Payments and Service Center. If the damage was caused by
factors that cannot be controlled by the subscriber, we will replace the unit
without charge within 48 hours. If damage is due to subscriber’s misuse, the
modem will be replaced with charge.
