It was going according to plan: My schedule always permitted me to attend all of Globe Telecom’s events leading up to the opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens last December 17. Heck, I had tickets to the Dec. 16 premiere at Bonifacio High Street Central, a stone’s throw away from my office. But nope, work had other plans, and now I’m left trying to figure out when I can watch Star Wars now that the Metro Manila Film Festival has taken over a lot of cinemas.

But you know what? I don’t feel left out. Because I’m always connected through my Globe myLifestyle plan’s awesome data, I know, for one, that all people I gave Star Wars merchandise to this Christmas (available in Globe GEN3 stores like the one in Greenbelt—learn more about it by clicking here) loved it, because everyone is still on a Star Wars high, whether or not they’ve seen Episode VII, and Miss Universe notwithstanding, haha.

And while I’ve been lucky enough to avoid spoilers, my connection allows me to watch Facebook and YouTube videos of Star Wars-related events in Hollywood and the cast’s guestings in talk shows like Jimmy Fallon’s. But you know what would be even greater—and faster—than my phone’s LTE? It’s Globe Platinum Broadband, which offers fast and seamless connectivity of up to 1Gbps internet speeds.

I experienced this for myself at the Star Wars-themed Globe Telecom thanksgiving party for bloggers, where they gave us awesome gifts, hosted a fun Star Wars trivia game, and even handed out awards—I won Photo of the Night (see my winning pic below)!

We were all asked to connect to the WiFi, powered by Globe Platinum Broadband’s fiber-fast speeds of up to 1Gbps, which made uploading our photos and videos so amazingly fast, I think we’re now all spoiled! We were also able to easily download the super cool Star Wars Disney app (you have to check it out, see below), which we played around with that night.

Globe reinforced its new roster of home broadband plans powered by fiber-to-the-home (FFTH) technology, providing customers the fastest fiber connection speeds at home, now available at a more affordable price. The offering of a more aggressive home broadband portfolio also forms part of the telco’s efforts to uplift the state of internet services in the country by giving customers access to a faster internet experience with lower monthly service fees.

With the new Globe Platinum Broadband Plans, home broadband customers can enjoy a broadband plan with internet speeds of up to 50 Mbps at Plan 2499, 100 Mbps at Plan 3499, 200 Mbps at Plan 4499, 500 Mbps at Plan 7499, and 1Gbps at Plan 9499. All plans are bundled with free access to Spotify, NBA League Pass, and HOOQ.

Aside from fiber-fast connectivity, Platinum Broadband customers also get access to exclusive perks and privileges, such as a dedicated Platinum Relationship Manager, dedicated Platinum Hotline, and Concierge assistance.
