Recently, Globelines has launched a campaign in our subdivision to aggressively promote their new broadband plans to new customers. They’re promo people have been constantly leaving fliers in our gates and everybody else’s – their own subtle way of persuading people to try out.

I guess they were successful, because I did. I gave in to my curiosity and asked one of their agents to explain to me their new plans. Apparently, with the same price as our Smartbro subscription, Globelines can provide us with download rates almost 3 times faster than what we’re getting. And because they’re wired, they promise a more stable connection than the intermittent wireless Smartbro.

The only thing I wasn’t sure of is whether they have any routers that come with the plan. You see, I already bought one when andrea decided to buy a laptop of her own. I guess I just don’t want to keep it stored away and allow it to break down over time. I mean, I’ve seen used cisco routers in school that ended up with the same fate because they were forgotten.

Anyway, the router is the only thing that wasn’t clearly explained to me by the agent, but everything else was clear. So after talking things over with andrea, I decided to go for it. In fact, just this morning, I already finished the application form for a 1 Mbps subscription to Globelines. As soon as we get connected, ‘m terminating our Smartbro subscription.
