If you are a Globe Tattoo user with the registered promo of Supersurf and everyday you are using your internet connection to browse Facebook, watch YouTube videos and more, the chances are you will always hit the 700 MB maximum data allowance of Globe. Then suddenly your internet connection will turn from turtle to snail.

If you wanted to know whether the Fair Usage Policy is already torturing your connection, all you need to do is check your Inbox for a new message from Globe. Just follow the simple step-by-step tutorial below for more details.

How to know if you are already hit by the Fair Usage Policy or FUP


STEPS:

1. Open your Google Chrome or Mozilla firefox browser.

2. In the address bar, type: http://192.168.8.1/html/home.html and press the enter key.

3. Next to Home, click the SMS link to continue.

4. Then your Inbox will be displayed. Just check for the newest message. Usually, sender's number will be GLOBE, and the message will be the message below:

"Hi! We noticed that your data usage today has been really high. We're now reducing your browsing speed to maintain quality service for all Globe users. Please be guided by our Fair Use Policy at www.globe.com.ph/surf/fup. To temporarily browse at normal speed, register to Speed Refresh. Text SPEED REFRESH to 8080 for more info. To enjoy worry-free browsing, try GoSURF! Just text STOP <PROMO> to 8080 and register to GoSURF50 with 1GB for surfing + 300MB for freebie, for 3 days, only P50! Text GS50 to 8080."

5. If this message is already inside your Inbox, expect a very terrible connection. All you need to do, well, do other things and just shutdown your pc if you do not have an alternative way of connecting to the internet. Trust me, I am only saving your good day from getting bad.

Note: Other Globe users will share that there is a way to bypass FUP, but personally I wasn't able to do this yet. Maybe, through the use of VPN and other tricks fair usage policy can be bypassed.
