FAQ
Q: What is PLDT’s Home Fiber internet?
A: PLDT’s home fiber internet plans are powerful broadband services perfect for every household’s online needs. Family members can experience equal download and upload speeds with PLDT’s FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) superior technology. Its affordable bundled package services have reached more than 6.7 million homes in the Philippines.
Q: What are Fiber and DSL differences?
A: While both Fiber and DSL connections can give a robust and reliable service, each service uses different methods.
DSL (Direct Subscriber Line) internet connection runs via a phone line to a DSL modem, separate from the telephone service. DSL can produce fast download and upload speeds, up to 20 Mbps using copper cable technology. These speeds are suitable for everyday online activities, such as emailing, web browsing, downloading/uploading/sharing small and medium file sizes, social media updating/interactions, and probably some SD video streaming. PLDT used to offer DSL plans in the past, but they now only offer fiber.
Today, PLDT uses fiber optic technology to deliver amazing speeds and reliable internet service to every home. PLDT’s fiber internet is great for advanced online activities, including HD video/TV streaming, online gaming, and AR/VR online applications.
Q: Is fiber available anywhere?
A: Fiber internet is relatively new, but PLDT has been upgrading and expanding its fiber services via its FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) program to cover more areas nationwide, including several suburban and rural areas.
Q: How can I get a Fiber Internet service?
A: Follow these steps:
- Apply online
- Choose which plan suits your household’s online needs
- Make sure you have a valid government ID at hand when applying
- You will receive an email and SMS once you have completed the application
- PLDT’s online sales representative team will call within 24-48 hours to verify certain private information
Q: Why is fiber better than cable internet?
A: Cable internet uses cables that are shared with TV sets to get broadband access. The internet connections will get a lot slower when too many users share the bandwidth.
With fiber internet, the service uses advanced fiber-optic technology that produces ultra-fast internet connections with symmetrical download and upload speeds.
Q: How can I upgrade my existing PLDT subscriptions?
A: It’s as easy as ABC; just click on your preferred upgraded plan, and you’re on a new plan.
