The Google Chromecast is a device that allows people to “cast” or broadcast content from personal devices like phones, tablets and computers to bigger screens like a TV through an HDMI connection. The content can be movies, TV shows, music, and even games.
Globe, in collaboration with Google, is offering the new generation of Chromecast as an add-on to their broadband subscription at P99 a month.
Broadband plan add-on
Globe Broadband customers with any plan can get the new Chromecast for P99 add-on monthly in a 24-month period. Subscribers can avail by calling 02-730-1010, browsing online at https://www.globe.com.ph/broadband#chromecast or visiting Globe Stores nationwide. The offer is available until Nov. 18, 2016.
“Customers today are no longer just tied in using their smartphones and PC’s at home for personal consumption, they also demand better content to share and experience on a bigger screen,” the company said in a press statement.
The new Chromecast, according to the Globe announcement, is equipped with better connectivity with the latest 802.11ac dual band Wi-Fi and three antenna structure for a faster and stable, with less buffering, streaming using the latest mobile devices.
