PLDT Home has been named the Philippines’ fastest broadband again, as it wins for the fifth consecutive year at the Ookla Speedtest Awards Q1-Q2.
The global benchmarking company, Ookla, announced that PLDT achieved a speed score of 77.91 and logged the fastest download and upload speeds at 210.83 Mbps and 234.21 Mbps, respectively.
“The past years have proven how essential fast and reliable internet services are for Filipinos to work, study, and be entertained at home. With this award, we thank Ookla® for recognizing our consistent efforts to top ourselves. This win reiterates our unwavering commitment to power our customers with the best digital services so that they can progress in life as they do things digitally better at home,” said Jeremiah de la Cruz, PLDT Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Business – Home.
“Speedtest Awards, presented by Ookla, are reserved for an elite delegation of network operators that have delivered exceptional internet performance and coverage within a market. It is our pleasure to present PLDT with the award for Fastest Broadband in the Philippines. This recognition is testament to their exceptional performance in Q1-Q2 2022 based on Ookla’s rigorous analysis of consumer-initiated tests taken with Speedtest” said Doug Suttles, Ookla CEO.
Fastest Broadband in Philippine’s Key Cities:
PLDT Home also clocked the top speeds in 15 major areas in the Philippines. These areas include: Quezon City, Pasig City, Davao City, Cagayan de Oro, Bulacan, Bacolod, Cainta, Baguio City, Pasay City, Iloilo City, Lucena, Malabon City, Valenzuela City, Marikina Cityand Batangas.
For the top four (4) areas, PLDT achieved the highest download and upload speeds, respectively, at 68.30 Mbps and 70.73 Mbps in Quezon City; 89.57 Mbps and 83.42 Mbps in Bulacan; In Mindanao, PLDT Home recorded 47.64 download and 47.58 upload speeds, respectively, at 79.35 Mbps and 79.10 Mbps in Davao City; and, 84.75 Mbps and 84.56 Mbps in Cagayan De Oro.
In July, PLDT boosted its international network capacity through its US-Transpacific Jupiter cable system infrastructure which is expected to provide greater capacity in multiple Terabits per second. This benefits PLDT customers with growing demands for digital services and better digital experience. PLDT is also the only telco provider in the Philippines that can deliver up to 10,000 Mbps fiber-optic service. This puts the country alongside first-world nations that have access to such ultra-fast home interne speeds such as South Korea, Japan, Sweden, Norway, Italy, New Zealand, and USA. All these innovations are powered by PLDT’s widest network with its fiber infrastructure expanded to over 803,000 kilometers, extending its reach to 15.5 million homes passed, and a total fiber capacity of 6.25 million ports.
well, i just saw an ad of converge in FB that they are the top rated isp.
No reason for me to switch internet providers just yet, especially since I’m among those lucky ones who experience good internet connectivity from PLDT.
For sure there will be disagreement here. But as recent opinions about history versus ‘Marites’ have shown, the hard facts and figures like Ookla presents gives the big picture as opposed to ‘personal experience’. After all, we never hear the praises, only the complaints. Hopefully someday everyone will be able to have the same experience reflected in Ookla’s results.
And how much does PLDT charge for that fastest speed? Compared to Converge or others. PLDT better get their act together.
Try download actual dowload checking speed using ookla is not giving actual results
the reliability is not that good though.
My ass dude
PLDT 2 weeks walang internet, then i-close nila yung trouble ticket mo ng walang sabisabi, narestore na daw internet, pero pag may problema p, tawag ka na lang ulit. Tapos wala ka nman makausap na suppport dahil puro robot, kahit sa billing department. Pati yung office ng PLDT na malapit nagsara. Dinala ko kasi yung wifi router para magpaterminate ng account. Mukhang mablack-list na lang ako ok lang, wala na akong balak bumalik pa sa PLDC. Pinalitan na yata lahat ng employee nila ng robot, kaya nagswitch ako sa Globe 2 days lang may bago ka ng Fiber net.
Yeah right, i don’t know if PLDT have improved their response time for repair services, the reason i left is it took a month to restore connection, and even if it happens once or twice s year…still imagine no internet for a whole month got a redundant provider… slower but responsive CS, never looked back.
Could not agree more Gilbert. Takes an eternity to wait for help to arrive when your PLDT internet goes down. When your connection goes down, its even more pracrical to apply for a new line because new accounts are served much faster by contractors.
