As more Filipinos rethink the daily grind of commuting amid rising fuel prices and inflation, a shift toward home-based work is gaining stronger ground. Responding to this evolving landscape, PLDT Home is rolling out a series of enhanced offerings designed to make working from home not just possible—but practical, reliable, and cost-efficient.
At the heart of this move is a clear goal: to reduce the barriers that come with transitioning to remote work. By waiving installation fees and introducing significant speed boosts, PLDT Home is helping households set up faster and more dependable internet connections without the added financial strain. These upgrades align with broader calls for flexible work arrangements, positioning connectivity as a key enabler of productivity and economic resilience.
For new subscribers, the benefits are immediate. Fiber plans starting at Plan 1299 now come with speeds up to twice as fast for the first six months, allowing users to handle video calls, cloud-based tasks, and multiple devices with ease. The removal of the ₱3,600 installation fee further lowers the entry point, making high-speed internet more accessible to families exploring remote work setups.
Beyond speed, reliability remains a top priority. PLDT Home introduces its Always On modem for switchers—an innovative hybrid device that seamlessly shifts to LTE connectivity in case of fiber interruptions. This added layer of stability ensures that professionals, freelancers, and even students can stay online when it matters most, minimizing disruptions during critical tasks.
The offering extends beyond work essentials. Subscribers can also enjoy lifestyle perks such as unlimited entertainment through Cignal, a one-year IGV Game Pass, and exclusive discounts on Samsung home appliances—blending productivity with leisure in a single, integrated experience.
For those seeking flexibility without long-term commitments, PLDT Home strengthens its Fiber Prepaid lineup. With upgraded speeds reaching up to 100 Mbps and 300 Mbps, users can choose from a variety of load options ranging from daily to annual packages. This allows households to manage their connectivity based on budget and usage needs, with rates going as low as ₱19.17 per day for extended plans.
As the definition of work continues to evolve, PLDT Home’s expanded services reflect a deeper commitment to supporting Filipino families—empowering them to stay connected, productive, and resilient, all within the comfort of their homes.
