PLDT Home Offers Free Installation, Speedboosts And More Amid Rising Demand For Work-From-Home

As rising fuel costs and inflationary pressures prompt a nationwide re-evaluation of daily commutes, PLDT Home is committed to supporting the Filipino workforce.

In a statement issued on Thursday, April 16, PLDT Home said it is waiving installation fees and has executed timely speed boosts to make the transition to remote work seamless and cost-effective.

The initiative reinforces the government’s call for the private sector to adopt flexible work schemes as a strategic response to ongoing global economic volatility. By empowering remote and home-based work setups, PLDT Home aims to strengthen Filipinos’ daily productivity and income opportunities while keeping the family together during these challenging times.

“Filipinos are among the most resilient people in the world, and we want to make it easier for them to navigate today’s challenges, especially amid ongoing global uncertainties. This is why we continue to enhance our fiber products and services to better support the daily digital needs of the Filipino workforce,” said Menardo “Butch” Jimenez, Jr., PLDT chief operating officer and chief technology officer.

The ‘work-from-home’ economic shield

As commuters report record-high transportation spending, the private sector is rapidly pivoting toward flexible work arrangements. To lower the cost of digital adoption for remote work, PLDT Home rolled out a comprehensive suite of upgrades for both new and existing PLDT Home subscribers.

“Families need a reliable fiber connection to work from home, stay productive and connected to what matters most,” Jimenez stressed.

New subscribers of PLDT Home Fiber Plan 1299 and above will enjoy a free speed boost of up to two times faster for six months, ensuring ample bandwidth for high-definition video conferencing and heavy cloud-based work. To also help ease their financial burden, PLDT Home is waiving the ?3,600 installation fee.

Those switching services to PLDT Home will also receive a free “always on” modem for six months. This hybrid fiber-LTE device ensures uninterrupted service by automatically switching to a wireless LTE connection during fiber outages, a critical safeguard especially for remote professionals and freelancers.

PLDT Home also boosts its services with value-added perks to support work and lifestyle needs at home with free unlimited entertainment via Cignal, free IGV game pass for one year, and exclusive huge discounts on Samsung home products.

Flexible prepaid internet with faster speeds

For households that need budget-friendly and flexible options without long-term contracts, PLDT Home has enhanced its Fiber Prepaid services.

PLDT Home Fiber Prepaid users can enjoy significantly faster speeds suitable for both work and entertainment at home, as new load packages are now available at 100 Mbps and 300 Mbps. To further ease financial burden, PLDT Home expanded its load packages with one-day, seven-day, 15-day, 30-day, and up to 365-day load options. Fiber Prepaid users can now load for as low as P19.17/day for a 365-day package with speeds of up to 50 Mbps. 

As households adapt to evolving economic conditions, PLDT Home strengthens its commitment to delivering reliable, flexible, and future-ready connectivity to empower Filipinos’ productivity and resilience at home.
