How the right internet plan contributes to your success

While life in lockdown isn’t ideal, it is made bearable by one key thing: the internet. For many businesses in the Philippines—big, small and everything in between—the internet has enabled them to stay productive sans the physical office, and bounce back amid the pandemic.

However, just because you are connected does not mean you have the “right” connection, says one of the country’s largest telco providers—especially if it’s costing you more than what you need to run your company.

“Businesses are built differently, and therefore have different connectivity needs,” says Tin Loya, Core Product Head of Globe myBusiness. “The important thing is to find the internet plan that allows you to optimize productivity without overspending on this crucial business need.”

Internet plans

As Globe Telecom’s small and medium enterprise (SME) arm, Globe myBusiness is focusing its efforts on “being there at every stage” for local MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises). Whether for new entrepreneurs or for companies that are ready to conquer a larger market, Loya says they have internet plans that suit every budget and respond to MSME-specific requirements.

For those seeking to save on connectivity costs, Globe myBusiness offers the Prepaid Internet Kit, which lets MSMEs have full control of their data usage based on their needs. With no monthly payment commitments, this is the most flexible and cost-efficient plan for MSMEs that still help them with both internal (business operations) and external (customer-facing) internet requirements. The Prepaid Internet Kit also serves as Globe myBusiness’ alternative solution for businesses without a wired network in their area. The kit comes with a modem Wi-Fi router and 30 gigabytes (GB) data that is valid for 30 days once activated via the Globe myBusiness app. From now until July 10, this kit can be bought at a discounted rate of P999 (previously P1,299).

Globe myBusiness Prepaid Internet customers can simply tailor their connectivity requirements with myBiz Surf Packs (priced at 199, 599, 799, 999, 1499) offers: Generous open-access data allocation depending on one’s budget and requirement; Longer promo validation period; and 1 GB refreshed daily on selected business communication tools: such as Facebook Messenger, Viber, Zoom, Gcash and many more.

The myBiz Goal Packs, another promo which customers can avail themselves of on top of the Prepaid Internet Kit, go for P99. This promo gives customers 10 GB of consumable data for productivity, e-commerce and logistics, entertainment and gaming or social media.

 

Limited offers

Customers can also take advantage of this limited offer when they load through the Globe myBusiness App until July 28. Those ready for an upgrade from prepaid can opt to subscribe to a Fixed Broadband plan, which offers monthly packages that cater to different business needs. The Fixed Broadband Plan starts at Plan 1299 to 11499, and is inclusive of a free modem and a free landline with unlimited calls to Globe and TM (both mobile and landline). One can choose their ideal bandwidth as well as the connectivity based on what’s available in their area (LTE, Copper or Fiber last mile connectivity).

The Fixed Broadband Plan (Unlimited OR Premium) also comes with highly useful business solutions—add-ons that empower MSMEs to achieve higher operational efficiencies. Customers who opt for this plan can avail themselves of:

For Unli & Premium Plans:

• Free 1-year license and domain of either Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace;

For Premium Plans:

• Static IP for address OR Free Symmetric Connection (allows for faster collaboration online with your team or customers, and for video conferencing, uploading and sharing files); and
• myBizExpert support.

But for those looking to really up their workforce productivity game, Globe myBusiness has its Direct Internet plan: their premium internet service that utilizes leased-line technology to deliver high-speed Internet access for fixed bandwidth requirements.

Globe myBusiness’ Direct Internet plan is all about keeping your business running with no delays and a reliable internet connection.

“Whether it’s for the simplest business communication need or the most complex operational requirement, Globe myBusiness offers value-for-money Wireline Internet Connectivity Services depending on your enterprise’s needs, so we can help you build your business better,” says Loya. “Now is the time to partner with us and reinvent your success.”
