MANILA, Philippines — Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co (PLDT) on Monday said it would roll out ultra-fast and reliable broadband connection in areas outside Metro Manila.
In a statement, Gary Dujali, head of PLDT HOME broadband said the company will roll out its Fibr service in Cavite, Laguna and Cebu in the next couple of months.
Fibr is already available in over 100 exclusive villages in Metro Manila, including Forbes Park, Dasminas Village, Ayala Alabang, Greenhills and Valle Verde.
“Barely a month since we launched the HOME brand of the PLDT Group, we are giving our customers quality content using the ultra-fast and reliable connection of Fibr,” said Ariel Fermin, executive vice president and head of PLDT HOME Business.
Earlier, PLDT partnered with Clickplay.ph to movie-streaming service to Fibr broadband subscribers.
Clickplay.ph has over 70 Hollywood movies in its database, including The Dark Knight Rises, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Hangover, Happy Feet and Superman Returns, among others.
Its movie list is expected to grow to about 200 by March and will soon include Filipino movies.
“PLDT is committed to provide consumers an integrated offering combining the best of voice, broadband, and content services to sustain market leadership, and we will soon be launching more new services as part of this commitment,” said Fermin.
In this new service, Fibr subscribers will receive different packages based on their subscription plan.
Plan 3500 subscribers get three free movies, while Plan 5800 subscribers get four free movies. Plan 8800 subscribers get 10 free movies and Plan 20,000 subscribers get 20 free movies.
Fibr can deliver speeds of up to 100 Mbps, using a dedicated connection straight to the subscribers’ homes. This allows them to stream HD content, play lag-free online gaming, and adopt seamless cloud computing.
Fibr rides on PLDT’s extensive fiber optic network that extends 54,000 kilometers nationwide.
