PLDT Enterprise, the B2B arm of the largest integrated telecommunications company in the Philippines, PLDT, has announced its continued commitment to service customers’ growing digital needs through a fiber upgrade program at no added cost to its subscribers.
With its target to fully migrate copper-based services to fiber by the middle of 2022, the service improvements aim to provide a more reliable connection as businesses continue to further leverage digital solutions to support their operations.
The migration from copper to fiber was started by the PLDT Group in September 2020 as part of its 18-month modernization program to boost both PLDT Home and Enterprise customers’ internet service.
“The PLDT Group has been heavily investing in our fiber infrastructure which now spans to over 400,000 kilometers nationwide, and we continue to expand this as we believe that fiber is the future of enterprise. This fiber upgrade program is a reinforcement of our unbreakable commitment in serving our customers better, in line with our mission to make a positive impact on every single business,” said Jovy Hernandez, ePLDT President & CEO and Senior Vice President & Head for PLDT and Smart Enterprise Business Groups.
PLDT’s fiber-optic network has the most extensive digital data infrastructure in the Philippines, spanning a total of 429,000 kilometers.
The demand for fast and reliable internet connectivity is escalating, especially with the continued government-mandated lockdowns brought about by the global health crisis. First Vice President & Head of PLDT Enterprise Core Business Solutions Jojo Gendrano assured that “migrating to fiber means better service and more productive industries and its workforce. The possibilities to take advantage of digital solutions and cloud-based services are much better, but the best part is we will enable all loyal copper-based customers with the upgrade for free.”
“Having a fast and reliable internet has become essential especially during this time to help businesses sustain their operations. To meet the higher demand of our subscribers for more reliable bandwidth, we’ve consistently pushed for this free fiber upgrade program that will allow for increased resiliency and better uptime,” said PLDT Enterprise Vice President & Head of Fixed Core Business Solutions Gary Ignacio.
PLDT’s fiber is the most advanced internet service in the country, giving high-speed equal download and upload speeds as it runs through fiber optic technology. It has the most robust, most resilient fiber-optic network, servicing most areas around the nation.
