The promo for 100mbps speed boost is effective and always guarantees a decent connection to almost any server in the world. This is a huge jump from the old internet service – a mix of Smart Canopy (now Home Bro), which has 2Mbps download tops and a Smart LTE connection, which averages around 10-16Mbps but is highly unreliable.
The PLDT Home Fiber service is an FTTH service. That means it utilizes fiber optic cables to deliver high-bandwidth connections to subscribers. The PLDT Home Fiber is a dynamic IP connection and PLDT provides a WIFI modem/router with the package. The included modem/router is configured as a router by default but you can request to set it to bridge during installation if you plan to use your own router. The service is installed by accredited fiber optic technicians.
PLDT HOME Fiber is definitely worth the price. The speed is superb, the support is good and the bundle is good.
