Globe has announced that their prepaid customers and TM subscribers can now enjoy the faster speeds that 5G will offer.
Starting August 24, 2020, Globe prepaid and TM customers can now access Globe’s 5G network in select areas such as Bonificio Global City, Makati CBD, Rockwell Center, Ortigas CBD, and areas along EDSA and C5. The only thing they need to do is to ensure to have an LTE SIM and a 5G-enabled smartphone. No additional fees will be charged to enjoy the 5G connection.
“As the Philippines is largely a Prepaid market, we are thrilled to be the first telecom to expand the 5G service to them. With the vision of bringing the next generation of connectivity to all, Globe Prepaid and TM customers have now been enabled to enjoy the 5G service. And, with the goal of making high speed internet accessible to as many Filipinos as possible, we will continue to broaden our 5G coverage and make 5G-enabled devices more accessible,” says Globe VP for Strategic Platforms and Partnerships Coco Domingo. “We envision a world of impossibilities made possible by Globe 5G.”
Globe is currently offering a wide range of 5G-enabled smartphones on their official online store such as the Samsung Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra. They have also been testing console-less gaming on their 5G connection that can bring console-level gaming experience without the steep hardware requirement.
