Migrating from PLDT Home DSL to Fibr
One of the most important things I need to have at home is a good and strong Internet connection.
I work from home and I need to be connected in the fastest way possible. Add to that, we have more than 20 devices currently connected to our Wi-Fi.
That's why we migrated from PLDT Home DSL which was 5Mbps to PLDT Home Fibr which is now giving us a solid 50Mbps.
It's the best "residential" Internet connection I could get at the moment.
The difference is night and day.
I could stream, download and do a video call all together -- in multiple devices! No lagging and buffering.
Steps to Migrate
Here's how we migrated from DSL to Fibr. These steps will only apply to existing PLDT Home DSL subscribers.
- I called their hotline 172.
- It's a standard customer service hotline. You just have to be really patient as the line gets pretty busy.
- Once you get to talk to a customer service representative, you just tell them you want to migrate from DSL to Fibr.
- Choose your plan. We chose Plan 2899 which should be 50MBps and no cap.
- This plan comes with a free modem and free installation.
- They would then get via phone all the necessary personal information for verification.
- Once that's done, all you have to do is wait.
- It took about 2 weeks for them to install the new line and modem.
- It took another week for the Fiber connection to get activated.
I must admit it was a bit of a hassle and pain to wait and get our Fiber line activated. But, in the end it's absolutely worth it.
Hooray for fast Internet.
