PLDT Home has launched something new for Filipino families – fiber internet that works like prepaid mobile load. For the first time, households can get high-speed fiber internet without signing up for monthly postpaid plans or long-term contracts.
What You Get
PLDT Home Fiber Prepaid gives you unlimited internet with speeds up to 50 Mbps through a dedicated fiber connection. You load credits when you need them, similar to how prepaid mobile works. No monthly bills to worry about, no contracts to tie you down.
This setup works well for Filipino families who want reliable internet for work-from-home setups, online classes, streaming movies, or gaming, but prefer to control when and how much they spend on internet service.
How Much It Costs
The service offers several loading options to fit different budgets:
- PHP 50 for one day of unlimited internet
- PHP 199 for seven days of unlimited internet
- PHP 399 for 15 days of unlimited internet
- PHP 699 for 30 days of
The Technology Behind It
PLDT’s fiber network is massive – about 1.2 million cable kilometers covering the Philippines. It reaches 18.76 million homes and is available in 73% of towns and 91% of provinces across the country.
Fiber internet is more stable than wireless or cable connections because it uses dedicated fiber optic cables. This means better performance when multiple family members are online at the same time, whether they’re streaming videos, joining video calls, gaming, or downloading large files.
What You Can Do With It
With 50 Mbps and unlimited data, you can stream HD videos, handle multiple video calls for work or school, play online games, and download large files without hitting data limits. Multiple family members can be online simultaneously without experiencing slow speeds.
Unlike other prepaid internet services that slow down after you use a certain amount of data, this service maintains full speed throughout your loaded period.
The Bigger Picture
This launch opens up fiber internet to Filipinos who previously couldn’t access it due to contract requirements or credit restrictions. It’s particularly appealing to freelancers, remote workers, students, and families who need reliable internet but want payment flexibility.
