In recognition of the essential role that internet access and digital literacy play in socio-economic development, Globe is taking significant steps to bridge the digital divide in the Philippines through its latest innovative solution, Globe At Home GFiber Prepaid.
GFiber Prepaid is specifically designed to provide fast and reliable internet service to every Filipino household at an affordable cost, utilizing fiber connectivity.
While digital connectivity has become increasingly prevalent in modern living, not all communities have equal access to its advantages. As of 2020, a joint study by Thinking Machines and the Asian Development Bank revealed a substantial internet speed disparity of 21.03 Mbps between the wealthiest and poorest cities in the country.
Moreover, connecting to fiber can be costly for customers, who also have to contend with lock-in periods, potential bill shocks, and documentary requirements associated with postpaid plans.
Additionally, slow internet speeds result in increased costs and more time spent online, rendering online access unaffordable and impractical for many Filipino families. This lack of reliable high-speed internet has hindered opportunities for remote work, distance learning, and e-commerce.
Globe is committed to dismantling these barriers by offering a fast, reliable, and affordable solution with flexible payment terms. With GFiber Prepaid, households can enjoy fiber-speed internet through various flexible plan options, without being tied to lock-in periods. Customers can load up based on their browsing needs and affordability.
GFiber Prepaid aims to expand the fiber market in the country and empower Filipino families with robust internet connections. For an introductory fee of only P1,499, customers will receive seven days of unlimited internet, including installation. On-demand UNLIMITED promos, such as GFiberSURF299 for seven days, GFiberSURF549 for 15 days, and GFiberSURF999 for 30 days, are also available.
The new offering provides a fully digital experience through the GlobeOne app, where customers can access information on the latest promos, bill payments, customer support, and account management, among other features.
To further extend its reach, Globe has partnered with GCash to offer a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) option through GCredit and GGives, ensuring that fast internet connection is within reach for even more Filipino families.
Raymond Policarpio, Vice President of Globe at Home Broadband Business, stated, “GFiber Prepaid is more than just a product; it’s our commitment to empowering every Filipino to thrive in this digital era. It aims to bridge the digital divide and democratize internet access. We are also dedicated to equipping our fellow Filipinos with the necessary digital literacy skills to navigate and maximize the digital space safely and effectively.”
GFiber Prepaid is a vital enabler of Globe’s commitment to advancing digital literacy throughout the Philippines. Through GFiber Prepaid, Globe aims to empower individuals and communities with the knowledge and skills to utilize digital platforms efficiently and responsibly. This includes fostering digital skills, promoting online safety, and encouraging digital entrepreneurship.
The company’s dedication extends beyond individual growth, aiming to spark a digital revolution that can accelerate progress nationwide. GFiber Prepaid represents a significant stride towards creating a more digitally inclusive Philippines where no one is left behind.
