We, Filipino internet end-users, declare that
the Philippine government has failed to provide adequate protection for Filipino internet users in accordance with their rights as citizens and as consumers;
the government has also failed to define "broadband internet" to guide telecommunications companies (telcos) and internet service providers (ISPs) that purportedly provide such services;
the government's so-called telecom regulator has no presence in social media and only very limited contact points to receive complaints;
that telcos and ISPs have not provided fast, reliable and true broadband internet connections;
the same telcos and ISPs have arbitrarily imposed high prices for slow, unreliable and below-par broadband internet connections, if compared to other countries in the region;
the same telcos and ISPs engage or impose in questionable practices such as data-capping, so-called "burstible speeds", long contract periods, pre-termination fees;
the same telcos and ISPs, as well as government, have failed to provide Filipino internet users sufficient venues for redress of grievances, and inferior customer and technical support; and
that the unfortunate situation should not go unchallenged and should be remedied for the benefit of all internet users -- individuals, families, businesses of all sizes, and government;
hereby call on the Philippine government, especially the National Telecommunications Commission, to:
strike the data cap off the draft "memorandum-circular on minimum broadband speeds"
hold nationwide public consultations and hearings to address problems besetting broadband internet users
define "broadband internet" in all its forms;
impose a basic standard of service reliability of 90 percent and broadband internet speed as advertised on all telcos and ISPs;
provide the public a standard protocol and tool to check compliance by telcos and ISPs;
enforce proper billing and end unfair and anti-consumer practices, especially the so-called data-capping, "burstible speeds", long contract periods and pre-termination fees;
open and maintain social media contact points (including Twitter and Facebook) where the public could file complaints and seek redress of grievances;
check the current infrastructure and development plans of telcos and ISPs; and
review the Public Telecommunications Law and the NTC law.

Seeing this grow is a heavy reminder that so many of us are exhausted by these connectivity issues. The constant fight against these policies is draining but seeing this level of support keeps me moving forward.

Time for change!

No Cap!
Dapat total customer satisfaction ang target nila.
No to broadband cap
Remove Data Capping, On time proper delivery of billing, remove long contract or revised contract to maximum of 3 months (not years) & remove pre-termination. Termination must be available within 24 hours as this can be done remotely(Physically present is not needed), fast action all they say is "within 24 hours" but it take a weeks or months.
Stop throttling our internet. Throttling should be made illegal.
dapat wla ng data capping,kwawa mga subscribers
Remove data capping, sa 7mbps dsl with 80gb capping, yung babayaran monthly is 1999, palighasa sa singapore 15mbps 1k lang wala pang capping yan...hindi naman siguro makatao yan...but kailangan may limit...alam nyo naman its part of our needs yung online,para naman ginawa nyo kaming tanga nyan...gobyerno action din pag may time...na huhuli na tayo sa panahon...mahina na nga mas lalo pang inaabuso...kalukuhan na to..stop internet capping
sana may pumasok na bagong dsl broadband network na kagaya sa ibang bansa na walang limit yung connection kung ano yung speed na apply yun din ang dapat ibigay..kasi pag sa payment walang kulang pero sa ibinibigay na serbisyo bitin na mahal pa....may mga karma din kayo...
If they say UNlimited it must be unlimited hindi yung "unlimited but upto 2 gb daily usage" lang.

no to cap
no to data cap
let us live without limits :)
Lost my home-based job twice because of this.
As an IT student, I usually rely on tutorials, mostly videos and image tutorials (which are high on consumption of data). I was quite disappointed on their move (which is data capping) instead of improving their infrastructure so that their internet can accommodate the needs of internet users. So much for self studying...
I myself hate the data capping of the carriers I'm in here in the Philippines. It sucks for me I use 9GB per day of the Internet and my plan has be capped for 50GB per month this is insane as YouTuber and uploads HD videos on YouTube, this is not good
Philippines is one of the countries that have very poor internet connectivity. I really hope that soon this will change.
GRABE ANG INTERNET MAY CAPPING. SAYANG LANG ANG BAYAD
Been woth Globe Broadband for several years now and they just started to cap my unlimited internet. Extremely annoying and inconvenient.
What's the use of having 7Mbps speed when youbgave a cap of only 70gb a month? Most sites/web design/games nowadays require higher bandwidth. Telecom companies should keep up with that.
#NoToDataCap
no to capping
grabeh hina talaga sa mga network .kahit magkaload ka unli internet ..facebook lng ang kaya..
no to data capping and yes to real unlimited internet with cheaper price!!
unlimited means no capping
Its not fair to us subscriber, ano naman yung raw materials na gamit nila na nauubos, kung kaya need nila mag patupad ng Data Cap Size sa internet usage. It's all business, it's all about the money...
Data caps are useless! The Government must abolish this policy to our telco's here in the Philippines! #notodatacap #philippinesinternetmustimprove
Sobrang sakit sa ulo samin tong CAPPING NG MGA NETWORK! Sobrang lakas mangurakot ng mga yan! Sana tnggalin na yang capping na yan
dapat pag sinabing unlimited is unlimited na walang capping. parang nangloloko sila pag sinasabi nilang unlimited.
Sana magkaroon ng ibang internet provider. Kesa sa dalawang giant telcos n walang ginawa kundi magbigay ng mahal n internet cost SA mabagal n internet connection..
NO TO DATA CAPS!
No real competition for internet providers, please allow foreign businesses to come and invest here in the Philippines to break the monopoly. Internet is very slow and expensive and worst they are fooling the consumer promoting unlimited data internet but with 800mb capping. Only in the Philippines. I've been to U.S.A. and HK when it says unlimited data, its unlimited. Here in the Philippines the government failed to protect the consumer in all aspect. It's a shame!
internet in the philippines is very expensive with data cap.. nasan ang hustisya
Remove the Data cap here in the phi,
800mb capping is sucks
Dapat talaga walang data cap lugi yung binabayad ng mga tao
No to Data Capping
We are paying a lot of money, we deserve better services than this.
We deserve better for our money.
paq u pldt at smart
slow connection
No to internet data cap!!!! Find other way to improve internet service! If you will compare our local ISP from other countries you will see a BIG difference!!
Ph internet sucks. mahal mahina cla lang yumayamam tayu mga consumor kapot!
I've been an internet user since I was a kid. I cannot fully maximize my jobs and personal interests since internet that I pay for is limiting me to do what I do best.
STOP DATA CAPPING!!!
NO TO DATA CAPPING Ang kakapal din ng mga mukha nyang mga ISPs sa Pinas, ang mamahal ng plans may data capping pa! Ang bilis maubos ng data. Real talk lang, maraming tao ngayon na ang ikinabubuhay ay online di man lang nila inisip mga cust nila. May pa "cust satisfaction aim" pa silang nalalaman loslos nila! If they can't trash that fair usage policy at least the government should allow foreign ISPs to come in our country. Sana naman gawan ng paraan ng gobyerno 'to.
With the prevailing cost of internet, there should be no capping.
Telcos should build a better infrastucture than Capping us. Greedy telcos.
in the us data cap has been lifted or with 50g for 10$ only here in the philippines 10$ is for 500mb.. see how much money telco making per month. and limiting the phil development
internet service providers here in the Philippines sucks!!!
B......S......t
we need unlimited or higher cap for internet
Do no evil.
Shtty net
Data Cap is too little for us users.
Data cap sucks,
No to Data Cap!!
This capping is a day light robbery for the masses. We download free large file on the INTERNET while Telcos preventing it and they charge the consumer for the file size. The data is free. Telco's job is not to sell data but to provide connection. Too much evil and greed. This must not be tolerated and should be stop immediately.
I agree to this petition, Data Capping is very unfair for many users, especially small businesses that uses high-speed and capped datas.
Paki ayos nmn internet mabagal na nga may cap pa!no to cap!
no to data cap
Tang ina kasi bat linalagyan pa ng capping bakit ba ung perang binabayad namin may capping?
Data cap is all about making money its not congestion you sick telcos pldt smart globe sky I hope you get cancer or any disease its time for change stop internet censorship let our voice be heard
Remove DATA CAPPING. To enhance security measures of our device and for us to have the latest updates for our device specially for applications we use for our study.
petition ko sa mga telco ang gaganid ng mga mukha hnd nmn nila mkkha yn sa kamatayan nila na tanggalin ang "DATA CAP" !
Consumers must have the right to avail the said unli browse of internet for its boastful promos " having only 800 MB a day".
it should be unli, and more speed equals to higher price not data cap -_-
This needs to end, today we live in a time where internet is a valuable commodity. The Internet Service Providers are forcing us to pay more than what we should, for less internet speed. This need to stop and the Philippine government should address this problem of overpricing and poor quality of service that these companies are providing to their clients. they should make a law that will protect the internet users from the two greedy companies, namely Smart and Globe.
Since information are freely shared, internet should be open to all. No capping
I hope this petition gets to the NTC. It's time to hear the people's voices regarding this issue. As good payers and internet consumers, I strongly believe we deserve more.
