If you are already raving about having a broadband speed of 100 Mbps, can you imagine how your life could change if you are connected at 10,000 Mbps?
PLDT Home is now making that dream possible! The country’s biggest, fastest, and most reliable broadband Internet service provider launched today (November 19) the first-ever 10,000 Mbps fiber-optic service in the Philippines. This milestone is another historic move towards the future of home connectivity.
This amazing service is putting the country next to first-world nations like Japan, South Korea, Sweden, Italy, Norway, New Zealand, and the U.S. in terms of providing access to ultra-fast home connectivity speed. This will undoubtedly set the bar for the bright future of local Internet speeds.
“We at PLDT continue to play an active role in shaping the future of our country and leading the way towards a connected nation,” said PLDT President and Chief Executive Officer Alfredo Panlilio. “We are doing all these for our north star—our customers: business owners, professionals, tech mavericks with very large homes, multiple high-bandwidth users with multiple screens. And with all that life requires of them, they need the fastest home broadband powered by the fastest network. And we are more than ready to give them what they need—all 10,000 of it.”
PLDT Home is set to pilot the 10,000 Mbps service in Metro Manila in December. The company plans to expand the service to other key cities like Cebu and Davao in 2022.
Network expansion effort
The planned rollout of this revolutionary service is the culmination of PLDT Home’s yearlong network expansion program rolled out in 2021. It is a deliberate move to provide local homes with only the strongest Internet connections.
“Consistent with our commitment to provide superior technology to address the Filipinos’ growing digital connectivity needs, PLDT Home continues to innovate and make a difference in the lives of our customers,” said PLDT Home Business Head and Senior Vice President Butch G. Jimenez. “With our all-new, upgraded, and fastest Internet speed, Filipino homes will now be able to experience and enjoy the future—that is the smart home.”
“Launching 10,000 Mbps shows our commitment to bring the country’s digital infrastructure to the future,” said PLDT Senior Advisor for Home Business Jeremiah De La Cruz. “PLDT Home’s fiber will not just power smart homes, but also new metaverse applications that are currently in development around the globe.”
Most powerful fiber Internet in PH
The 10,000 Mbps connection could be an ideal partner for the bandwidth-hungry smart home. PLDT Home also rolls out a new Fiber Plan that comes with a WiFi 6 Mesh System with guaranteed ultra-fast WiFi speeds covering an area of more than 550 square meters. Thus, it can power smart home devices and cover all areas at home with seamless WiFi connectivity.
Other than that, PLDT Home has also launched the most powerful Fiber plans this month. Subscribers can automatically receive free upgrades—up to three times their subscribed speeds—as a treat for the holiday season.
As of September 2021, PLDT has added about 324,000 new fiber subscribers across the country. Thus, by the end of the third quarter, it has commanded a market-leading count of 2.77 million fixed broadband customers.
In terms of speed, the telco giant holds a four-peat record at Ookla Speedtest Awards for the first and second quarters—with an overall speed score of 46.25 Mbps.
