Home in Fastest Mode with PLDT

As the country's leading digital services provider, PLDT Home strives to stay ahead of the ever-changing digital shift by providing its over 3.1 million fiber subscribers with the most powerful and fastest fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network.

PLDT increased the capacity of its international network in July by deploying the US-Transpacific Jupiter cable system infrastructure, which is anticipated to increase capacity by multiple Terabits per second. This is advantageous for PLDT customers who have an increasing demand for digital services and a better digital experience.

Additionally, PLDT is the only telecommunications provider in the Philippines capable of delivering up to 10,000 Mbps fiber-optic service. This places the nation in the same category as South Korea, Japan, Sweden, Norway, Italy, New Zealand, and the United States, all of which have access to ultrafast home internet speeds.

All of these innovations are made possible by PLDT's largest network, which boasts an expanded fiber infrastructure of over 803,000 kilometers, a total fiber capacity of 6.25 million ports, and a reach of 15.5 million homes.
