Orly, Globe/Innove's DSL in Tacloban (the place where I came from) is very good. Here in Manila, I got Globe's broadband for 999 a month (768kbps + landline) but the service isn't the same. They have contractors who barely know how to troubleshoot the problem. I understand that this is or might be an isolated case. So my advice is, before you let the guys go and accept the circuit, check your circuits SNR. You know the normal SNR 20dB, but 10dB is good enough. I have an SNR of 6 or 6.5, so every now and then, my modem goes bezerk, resync-ing every 2 mins most of the time.
Also take note that, since Globe's contractors barely know how to configure the circuit, they don't block access to WAN administration to your modem/router, the worst part, they leave the username/password to the default. If all is well, SNR is good, you shouldn't be having problems with a Globe broadband. Cheers!
