Using fiber-optic technology which is branded as the world standard for broadband, PLDT aims to deliver the fastest plan and boasts its first symmetrical speed service — meaning it should eliminate the kind of connection wherein you have a relatively high download speed, but drops when it comes to uploading.

PLDT HOME VP and HOME Marketing Director Gary Dujali said, “These massive speed boosts and the new symmetrical speeds combined with our unparalleled offers let our subscribers experience the ultimate digital lifestyle at the comforts of their home. As the country’s most powerful broadband, PLDT HOME Fibr stands firm on its commitment to provide top notch services for its consumers, reinforcing the strongest connections at home,”

Plans start at Php1,899 for an Internet connection hitting up to 1Gbps. Fibr is now available in over 1,600 Fibr-powered villages nationwide including Valle Verde 1-6, Forbes Park, Dasmarinas Village, and Ayala Alabang Village, to name a few.

It’s been reported that South Korea will soon be getting 10Gbps of Internet speed which would translate to downloading a 1GB file in less than a second. Meanwhile, Philippines is still catching up at 2.5Mbps according to recent reports.

According to KitGuru, SK Broadband was set to showcase this new technology at the Plenipotentiary Conference of the International Telecommunications Union in partnership with their Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning. This is how their country is showing that although America paved the way for the Internet, they wouldn’t be left behind when it comes to speed.

Even prior to this, South Korea has been reigning supreme against other countries by being the number one in global ranking for the highest average in Internet speed (measured in Mbps). This is according to Akamai’s report after the second quarter of 2014.

However, here in the Philippines, we’re still struggling with an average of 2.5Mbps and ranks 103rd globally. We’re above India which has an average of 2Mbps, but below China and Vietnam which have 3.7Mbps and 2.9Mbps, respectively. Yes, our telcos give us promos like 30Mb free internet daily while cellsites now have 100% 4G HSPA+ coverage (which later on caused confusion for its subscribers). Still, it’s a far cry when compared to our neighboring countries like Singapore with 10.4Mbps and Hong Kong with 15.7Mbps.
