PLDT HOME Fiber customers can now upgrade their speeds to up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) for an extra P500 monthly under a limited offer that runs until Jan. 31.

“This new year, elevate your digital experience at home and be among the first to experience gigabit internet with PLDT Home’s limited time offering. As a special treat, PLDT Home is letting customers on Fiber Plans 1699 and higher enjoy speeds of up to 1Gbps until Dec. 31,” the company said in a statement.

PLDT Home said gigabit speeds are up to 10 times faster than the average household connection, enabling better connectivity for multiple users and across multiple and high-bandwidth smart home devices.

“Back in 2013, PLDT Home was the first telco in the country to provide 1 Gbps fiber-to-the-home broadband service. In early 2024, PLDT Home ushered the Philippines into a full-scale Gigabit era with Gigabit Fiber broadband plans that can deliver speeds of up to 10 Gbps. Only a handful of developed countries, including South Korea, Japan, and the United States, are offering these speeds,” it said.

PLDT Home in November launched its “Always On” add-on broadband service for its PLDT Home Fiber customers, which provides a hybrid modem that automatically switches a customer’s connection from fiber to LTE in case of service interruption.
