Last March, Globe Telecom launched their new Globe WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) service in key provinces – Cavite, Cagayan, Cebu, and Southern Luzon. Today, the telecommunications company intends to make fast Internet access available to more households in the Philippines by deploying the service in more provinces.

Globe WiMAX is a wireless broadband technology that can transmit data wirelessly through various transmission modes for fully mobile internet access. It’s similar to WiFi but provides larger coverage and higher bandwidth. Since WiMAX’s launch last month, Globe says they’ve gotten about 4,000 WiMAX subscribers, some of which claimed to switch from existing DSL fixed-line services.

Globe WiMAX packages are as follows:

P795 for 512 kbps
P995 for 512 kbps with landline
P1,295 for 1mbps with landline
