More Filipino consumers, particularly those in the millennial
generation, are starting to enjoy their favorite television shows and movies on
their computers and mobile devices whether within the comforts of their own
home or on-the-go. The only problem that could concern them when it comes to
binge-watching is that either they cannot afford to continue streaming their
own choices of entertainment or their mobile data allowance is too much for
them to try considering that watching movies and TV shows online require a huge
chunk of data regardless of the quality.
This is where the local telecommunications industry comes in, offering
a sleuth of new offerings that can provide subscribers worry-free access to any
of their favorite online streaming services peppered with data allocation that
can be consumed only for video streaming. The best thing about these new offers
is that they can be used as add-ons to available prepaid data plans which best cater
to binge-watch lovers.
Perhaps the most interesting among these new offers is Globe Telecom's
GoWATCH where mobile users can start watching their favorites at just Php29 giving
them 2 GB of data consumable for video streaming valid for only a day. In my
own case, that much data is enough for anyone to watch episodes of their anticipated
anime or Korean drama, favorite music and viral videos on YouTube, and a movie
on HOOQ in standard definition quality in a matter of hours. Binge lovers need to register first to any of their preferred Globe GoSURF mobile internet promos before enjoying hours of worry-free entertainment on their mobile devices starting with GoSURF 50. Oh, and premium subscription is needed on some sites if you want to extend your viewing habits.
