PLDT connects families and homesat 100Mbps speed with new fiber optic service
MANILA, Philippines, August 28, 2012 – Leading telecommunications provider PLDT is now offering to residential subscribers the latest technological breakthrough in broadband service using fiber optic cables to deliver the fastest internet speed of up to 100Mbps at home.
Initially available in areas such as Ayala Alabang Village and Forbes Park, PLDT Fibr is the first in the country to use fiber optic cables to deliver broadband service to the home. PLDT Fibr is also available in East, West, North, and Northeast Greenhills, Acropolis, Greenmeadows, La Vista, and Valle Verde in Quezon City; Alabang Hills, Alabang 400, and Hillsborough in Alabang, Muntinlupa; and Dasmarinas Village, San Lorenzo Village, and Urdaneta Village in Makati.
“Its rapid-fire, ultrafast speed enables users to have a faster, far-richer multi-screen, multi-media experience,” said PLDT EVP and Head of Home Business Ariel P. Fermin.
“Unlike cable internet which shares broadband connection among neighbors, PLDT Fibr’s broadband service provides for a dedicated broadband connection in the access network utilizing fiber optics which facilitates simultaneous high-speed browsing and downloading,” Fermin explained.
“Family members will enjoy sharing content with each other even more with these amazing speed rates from Fibr. It does fit in nicely to our cause of providing the strongest connections at home,” he said.
PLDT Fibr may be connected to a desktop, laptop, or game console, or an internet-enabled "smart" TV and may be used with a wireless router or access point.
“All PLDT Fibr plans are equipped with an Optical Network Unit (ONU) Modem, which has a fiber optic cable connection that delivers its enviable ultra-high speed feature,” added Fermin.
He said subscribers may connect their laptop or desktop directly to the ONU Modem through an RJ-45 cable, or they can opt to go wireless by connecting the ONU Modem to a wireless router.
PLDT Fibr is accessible in any of the following plans: PLDT Fibr Plan 3500, up to 8Mbps; Plan 5500, up to 15 Mbps; and Plan 20000, up to 100Mbps. These plans include free installation, free Fibr modem, and free PLDT WiFi Zone access with PLDT Telpad subscription.
