As the world transitions into a new era of digital services, PLDT, Inc. and Smart Communications are poised to “unlock the future” with a new wave of innovative products and services for Filipinos everywhere.
Fresh off being recognized as the Philippines’ fastest fixed and mobile networks by Ookla®, PLDT and Smart recently hosted “Unlock the Future,” a powerhouse event graced by celebrities and endorsers, such as Gabby Concepcion and Kiefer Ravena and Alyssa Valdez, as well as executives and partners alike.
“Over the past years, we’ve been hard at work to future-proof our network and beef up our digital content and product partners,” said PLDT and Smart SVP and Consumer Business Market development head Oscar A. Reyes during the launch at Marquis Events Place. “We’re delighted to present our most exciting services that are designed to meet the ever-evolving needs of Filipinos.”
Establishing stronger connections
“We’re very excited to announce our partnership with Google for the new PLDT WiFi Fibr Google WiFi plan,” said PLDT-Smart FVP and Consumer Marketing Head Andrew L. Santos.
With the PLDT Home Fibr Google WiFi Plans, users may now experience “the standard for home WiFi network technology.”
New PLDT Home customers may subscribe to the Google WiFi Plan 3799, which comes with an unlimited 50Mbps connection, three Google Wifi points and free service assistance from the Home Geek Squad.
In addition to that, PLDT launches the new PLDT Home TVolution Lite powered by Roku®. This new service features a plug-and-play device that allows users to easily access videos on YouTube, Cignal HD channels, Top Hollywood, Iflix, Netflix and more free streaming channels on their TV.
