PLDT begins modernization program for home, enterprise segments

The modernization program for copper-based ADSL users will be completed in the next 18 months, the telco firm said in a statement earlier this week. 

Alfredo Panlilio, PLDT chief revenue officer, said this move was to support the strong demand for the internet during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

With this modernization program, PLDT sets out to reinforce the drive to install new fiber connections and meet the ever-increasing demand for high-speed internet access for more homes and businesses. It is an essential need, especially in these times of the Covid-19 pandemic, Panlilio said.

With PLDT Home Fibr, subscribers may enjoy lag-free gaming and seamless HD quality streaming, said Menardo Jimenez Jr., PLDT home senior vice president. 

For the first six months, it noted the total number of fiber-powered ports it has installed all over the country has climbed by 5 percent to 3.67 million. 

Moving forward, we will grow our business by helping our customers–and the country–rebuild their lives and livelihoods with powerful connectivity like fiber, 4G and now 5G, combined with innovative digital solutions, its chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan said.
