My experience with the 1Gbps PLDT HOME Fibr

Recently, PLDT has announced that they’ll be having a 1Gbps broadband plan for their users and yes, there are already some people who already upgraded to this and are using the 1 Gbps broadband plan on their homes and fortunately, we’re one of those people who got to try this awesome offering from PLDT Home Fibr.

And if you’ve followed the plans and offerings of PLDT, they’re offering not only a fast internet on their plans but they also offer different devices that could make your home smarter such as FAM CAM device which lets you monitor your home and it is controlled with a Telpad, an all-in-one landline, broadband, and tablet of PLDT. And take note guys, this Telpad is running on Android and you can run different Android apps and games on this one like Clash of Clans.

But not just that, PLDT also offers a Tvolution stick which will transform your HDMI-capable TV into a Windows computer. This Tvolution is base on an Intel Compute stick and if you want to run some Windows games and applications on it like Microsoft Office, you could do that because this one is running on an Intel Atom processor which was also used by some tablets and convertible laptops. This one gives you a livelier living room thanks to the Iflix and Fox partnership with PLDT which brings you the latest movies and shows to your TV via the PLDT Tvolution.

If you’re living on areas with PLDT HOME Fibr support, you can opt for their newest Power Plus Plan at P2899 which will already give you 50Mbps speeds which is more than enough for your livestreaming and gaming needs. With that speed, I believe that you don’t have to wait for buffering even at Full HD videos on Youtube.

During the event, we were able to experience the 1GBps speeds of PLDT HOME Fibr. I wasn’t able to maximize the full 1GBps speeds due to the limitations of my devices and the number of people connected on the internet but despite that, we still experience no bufferings on YouTube while the others have been livestreaming videos and the others are download games on Steam. Actually, they were able to download Call of Duty: Black Ops III which is sized around 47GB in under 17 minutes. That’s effin amazing.

PLDT HOME Fibr is already available in some areas including Valle Vergde 1-6, Forbes Park, Dasmarinas Village, and Ayala Alabang village. There are also other locations that support PLDT HOME Fibr and you can check that out at pldthome.com/fibr.
