“The fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband
connection enables PLDT to offer customers triple play services that provide
not just access for voice and data but also allow seamless streaming of high
quality video,” said PLDT EVP and Head of Home Ariel Fermin.
Among the new areas now covered by
FTTH are Laguna, Muntinlupa, and Quezon City in Luzon, Cebu in the
Visayas, and Davao in Mindanao region.
PLDT initially rolled out FTTH to around
100 high-end subdivisions in Metro Manila under the service called Fibr which
is PLDT Home’s most powerful broadband with speeds of up to 100Mbps. Apart from
fiber-fast connection, customers will enjoy Hollywood blockbuster movies as
part of their subscription.
The new FTTH areas include: Sta. Rosa
Estate Phases 1 & 2 in Laguna; Southvale 1&2 and Palms Pointe in
Muntinlupa; Manila Southwoods in Cavite; and White Plains and Tierra Pura in
Quezon City. In Visayas and Mindanao, Fibr is now accessible in Cebu Royale
Estate, Beverly Hills Subdivision, Pristina North, Bayswater Subdivision, Happy
Homes, Ajoya Residences, Deca Baywalk, and Reldo Subdivision in Davao.
“Fibr readily connects Filipino homes with
its ultra-fast speed and crystal clear, high-definition content,” said Fermin.
“PLDT Fibr enables users to have a faster, multi-screen, multi-media experience
by utilizing dedicated fiber optic cables that are not shared, allowing
simultaneous high-speed browsing and high-definition video streaming.”
PLDT Head of Home Broadband Gary Dujali
said PLDT is leading the adoption of fiber optic technology to help the
Philippines align with other countries that already have ultra high-speed and
advanced internet connections.
“With Fibr, subscribers can seamlessly
stream blockbuster Hollywood movies, play lag-free online gaming, and adopt
cloud computing,” said Dujali.
Accessible in various plans, Fibr is
available in Plan 3500 with speed of up to 8Mbps; Plan 5800, up to 20Mbps; Plan
8800, up to 50Mbps; and Plan 20000, up to 100Mbps. These plans include free
installation, free Fibr modem, and free PLDT WiFi Zone access with PLDT Telpad
subscription.
Fermin noted that PLDT’s extensive 54,000
kilometers of fiber optic cables facilitate the efficiency of the company’s
digital services such as Fibr, myDSL, and Telpad, bringing people,
especially families closer, and establishing the strongest connections at home.

Being a homebased online English teacher requires me to have a really good connection. I hope PLDT could work harder in increasing the number of their FTTH areas and offer more affordable packages. =)
