PLDT Home named fastest, strongest broadband provider

MANILA, Philippines - PLDT Home through its DSL service is seen as the broadband provider with the fastest and strongest Internet connection among all Internet service providers (ISP) in the country, according to a nationwide market study conducted by market research organization Philippine Survey and Research Center (PSRC).

The PSRC survey showed that based on the brand imagery question asked among respondents who were aware of the different ISP brands, PLDT Home DSL scored the highest among all ISPs for both signal strength and Internet speed.

PLDT Home, a unit of telecoms and multimedia firm PLDT, is the leading provider of digital services for the home and is behind breakthrough broadband services like the ultra-fast Fibr that offers up to 100mbps to residential customers and LTE for the home Ultera which offers up to 10mbps speed.

PLDT VP and head of home marketing Gary Dujali said the survey results reflect PLDT’s commitment to deliver the best possible service to its subscribers.

“This is the fulfillment of our promise to our subscribers - that we will give them the fastest, most reliable and strongest connection to their homes,” Dujali said.

He added that PLDT Home is able to provide the strongest connections at home through its most extensive fiber optic network that currently spans over 88,000 kilometers which is more than four times that of competition.
