PLDT Inc. is embarking on an 18-month fiber modernization program as part of its continuing efforts to maintain it’s network capabilities and services.
The goal of the 18-month program is to improve PLDT service quality and upgrade the overall experience for fiber subscribers. It will boost the internet service of both PLDT Home and Enterprise to fiber with no added costs.
The modernization program to upgrade customers who are still using the legacy copper-based ADSL service to fiber is seen to complement PLDT’s drive to install new fiber connections.
Panlilio said, while the fiber migration plan is an 18-month program, customers would see improvement during the year.
Over the past three months, PLDT’s network service teams have worked out how to operate under pandemic conditions and have been able to steadily ramp up their installation capacity back to and beyond pre-COVID levels.
PLDT has extended the reach of its fixed broadband service to cover some 7.8 million homes in the first half, while the total footprint of its fiber optic network grew by 11 percent year-on-year to about 358,700 kilometers.
