Things you need to know about 5G

Have you ever wanted to experience the real power of 5G at home? PLDT Home’s new Home WiFi 5G+ might be the answer. Bringing the future of 5G connectivity into your home offers faster speeds, greater capacity, and enhanced flexibility. Here’s why upgrading to 5G+ could transform your home internet experience.

Faster Speed: Imagine your current LTE internet speed multiplied by up to 10—the performance boost 5G delivers. The new standard for wireless connectivity, 5G, can provide as high as gigabit speeds for your device. With faster speeds than its previous generation, 5G delivers a more stable upload and download experience on a wireless connection.  

Better support for connected devices: When several smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, home security cameras, and even your personal smartwatch are connected all at once at home, 5G can support all these high bandwidth demands. As more household devices nowadays require connectivity, 5G allows better handling of simultaneous internet use.

Latency: Latency refers to the delay between sending data from your device and receiving a response. 5G can reduce latency to as little as 1 millisecond. This is especially useful for interconnected devices at home and real-time online activities like gaming, video calls, and even emerging technologies like virtual reality, where every millisecond counts.

Uncapped speeds and WiFi 6 Technology: The PLDT Home WiFi 5G+ device can deliver uncapped speeds of up to 1.5 Gbps, far surpassing the capabilities of other 5G devices some competitors use. With these speeds, downloading a full-length movie in seconds is possible! PLDT Home WiFi 5G+ also excels at connecting multiple devices to up to 15 gadgets simultaneously. Whether video conferencing, HD streaming, or gaming, PLDT Home WiFi 5G+ ensures smoother, more reliable internet for the whole family.

PLDT Home WiFi 5G+ also uses WiFi 6 technology, which supports faster data transfer and higher bandwidth than older standards. This enhances indoor coverage and performance, ensuring seamless and uninterrupted online activities.

Network coverage: PLDT’s wireless unit, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), covers 97% of the population and is part of the Philippines’ largest integrated network, which includes PLDT’s most extensive fiber infrastructure. With PLDT Home WiFi 5G+, you’re getting faster speeds and a more stable and consistent connection with Smart’s 5G network, which is available in over 600 cities and municipalities nationwide.

Plug-and-play convenience: Setting up PLDT Home WiFi 5G+ is hassle-free. With a plug-and-play modem, there’s no need for professional installation—plug it in, register the SIM to activate, and start using high-speed internet immediately. Whether purchased from PLDT and Smart stores, the PLDT and Smart official store in Shopee, or SM touchpoints, it’s never been easier to connect.

True unli and flexible experience: PLDT Home WiFi 5G+ offers a prepaid service. For a promotional price of ₱1,495, you get a modem, a 5G SIM card, and 15 days of unlimited WiFi. After that, reload your data as needed. What makes this even more unique is the actual unlimited experience. While other prepaid services still use volume caps for loading, PLDT Home gives users an authentic online experience using a 4G or 5G device. Depending on your need, you won’t need to worry about reloading and have flexible load options.
