Unfortunately, hiding stuff and trying to get away with things is what the Philippines is notorious for. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is some wise idea from some very knowledgeable IT guru inside Globe trying to spread the bandwidth around to more users.

Don’t get me wrong, the idea is great. This is a symptom of either of these two things:
1. The people behind this bright “compression/proxying” idea has no balls to come clean with it.
2. Or they just don’t care about the consumers that pay for their salaries and think we won’t notice it.

C’mon guys! I keep calling tech support and they either don’t know, or were informed not to divulge this information. It would really help to come out with even some fineprint of this somewhere. Not all your consumers are noobs you know.

Hi! I’m a Globe Tattoo subscriber and their poor image quality/image compression really annoys me. In the past, there are workarounds but it seems they’ve managed to update this technique and every ways to solve this in the past doesn’t seem to work anymore. I have also learned that several networks abroad also use such same technique like T-mobile. But the big difference is that their subscribers are aware of it and they can even download a piece of software from T-mobile’s site to disable the image compression.

So clearly, this is a hidden agenda! We are paying customers! We have our right!
