PLDT is speeding up for their modernization program which current PLDT DSL subscribers will be upgraded to Fibr within the next 18 months for free
In a statement from PLDT Chairman, President and CEO Manny V. Pangilinan "Covid-19 has set our agenda for the foreseeable future. At the outset, our task was clearly to keep people connected as the country went into lockdown. Moving forward, we will grow our business by helping our customers — and the country — rebuild their lives and livelihoods with powerful connectivity like fiber, 4G and now 5G, combined with innovative digital solutions".
In their report since March 2020, PLDT had some adjustments in their network operations which made it to cover 7.8 million homes in 1H 2020, 8% more compared to 2H 2019 and available fiber-powered powered 5% to 3.67 million which 1.6 million slots are available for new applicants.
From our experience from DSL to PLDT Home Fibr, the difference is huge which will benefit their subscribers which are still from the previous internet tech.
In addition, PLDT Chief Revenue Officer and Smart President Al Panlilio said " With this modernization program, PLDT sets out to reinforce the drive to install new fiber connections and meet the ever-increasing demand for high-speed internet access for more homes and businesses. It is an essential need, especially in these times of the Covid-19 pandemic. The program will boost the internet service of both PLDT Home and Enterprise customers to fiber speeds, at no added cost."
As of today, PLDT's total footprint for their fiber optic network now reached 360,000 kilometers which is the Philippines' most extensive digital data infastructure
