Tips when choosing a PLDT Home Fibr Plan
1. What is you goal?
Why do you need an internet connection? Are you going to use it for your online business? Are you going to use it for your freelancing career? Or are you going to use it just to browse your news feeds and manage your social media accounts?
Knowing your goals will help you determine what PLDT Home Fibr plan is appropriate for you. If you only use the internet to check Facebook or Instagram, then you don’t need the fastest and most expensive plan. Just the basic PLDT Fibr 1299 plan will do.
However, if you make or take calls from your clients regularly, or you make or watch video courses online, then you may need a higher plan to meet your needs.
2. How much is your budget?
Now that you already know what plan you need, the next question is, how much is your budget? If you need the highest and most expensive plan, can you afford it? Is it within your budget for your internet connection?
It is important to know your budget before your sign up for a PLDT Home Fibr plan because it is a long-term commitment. There is a lock-in period. You cannot just downgrade or cancel it anytime or when you can no longer afford to pay for it.
For PLDT Home Fibr Plans, the lock-in period is 36 months or 3 years. So, make sure you consider your budget before you subscribe to any plan.
3. Is your location Fibr ready?
You know what plan to get and you have the budget, but, is PLDT Home Fibr available in your area?
PLDT Home Fibr is limited to selected areas and locations only. Before you can sign up for your PLDT internet subscription, they will check first if there’s still an available slot for you in your area.
If there is, then good for you. However, if there’s no available slot or your location is not Fibr ready yet, then you may have to check other alternatives or wait until a new slot becomes available for you.

Have you tried testing the speed of the connection? I’m wondering how much is the speed of Internet in the Philippines since I often see complains about how slow the connection is. For comparison, I tried speedtest.net in Canada. The download speed is 47 Mbps and 20 Mbps for the upload.
In Tokyo, always on, never slow, 24/7/365 1Gbps Fiber-Optic, download speeds 80Mb/s and above, JPY3,240/month = P1,565/month.
Filipinos are crazy to accept PLDT’s ridiculous prices for 1990’s speed and 1980.s service.
