Globe offering customers sachet-sized fiber connectivity

Amid the rapid increase in consumer prices, Globe Telecom is rolling out sachet-sized, prepaid fiber connectivity to make its internet more accessible and affordable to consumers.

In a statement Wednesday, the Ayala-led telecommunications player said users could now have internet access of one hour for P5 and 12 hours for P20.

To be able to do so, customers can connect to sari-sari stores, town plazas, community centers and other neighborhood common areas serving as WiFi hotspots.
