BKB Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Since the wifi belongs to the owner, he has the password so he, friends and family can use your load if so inclined, as long as it is turned on. If i were you i would change the wifi password or at least turn it off when not using it, for peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you do the math, a typical Netflix movie will cost you around $5 US. I don’t know about YouTube, but for Netflix you can throttle your usage back to 0.3. Gigs per hour. Log in and go to the profile you want to adjust (each profile will need to be adjusted separately). Go to Settings > My Account > My Profile > Playback Settings. The default setting should be Auto; you can then adjust it to Low, Medium, High or Auto. As I typically watch Netflix on my iPad or Phone, I leave mine set to Low. I don’t notice any difference in video quality. The only time I did notice a slight difference was when I hooked my phone up to a big screen TV via a lightning to HDMI adaptor, but even then it wasn’t too bad. And, as I’m sure you already know, you can download many movies and watch them later offline. To save your data simply download them when you’re somewhere with free WiFi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Get a globe tattoo sim for your phone. Load the GOTSCOMBODD90 on it. It gives you 2GB of data which is good for a week for 90 peso and unlimited texts to all networks. If you use it up just load it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my plan is 100GB per month for 1299php and I can buy an extra 50GB for 99php I have Globe wireless modem "broadband". I get 50 Gb a month for 1299 - but no top off available. I tried to buy one and it would not process. When I asked customer service they said 'way out' where I live (20 km from city center) there is no top off allowed?

I must have phrased my reply incorrectly because I am sure you are doing the right thing. I meant what kind of tenant would do that. it is the owner or property manager's job to provide wifi in short-term rental places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Tim I don't understand if you have Internet account, there should be problem Purchasing a top up, the account is central where you live should make no difference JFYI https://www.recharge.com/en/philippines/globe-top-up?aid=38&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzK_bBRDDARIsAFQF7zPYo63-QHFRJqnUMpWDt0f8qEGjp7T8khgkGTBALxkWXqxAOWr9QCsaAuLYEALw_wcB http://www.globe.com.ph/help/broadband/volume-boost?jsid=1533867996882 Worth looking into I feel Edited August 10, 2018 by Jack Peterson added a little 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
