Yesterday marks the launch of the PLDT Home Bro Ultera which currently consists of three wireless broadband plans powered by TD-LTE (Time-Division Duplex Long Term Evolution) connection designed for home use.
Here are the three PLDT Home Bro Ultera plans, its respective bandwidth allocations, as well as its monthly amortization.
If you pay close attention to the picture above, you’ll notice that there’s an “xxGB recommended usage for optimum speed” on each of the plans under the new Home Bro Ultera. This is actually a subtle reminder about the monthly cap on PLDT’s new wireless LTE broadband services which, if you go beyond it, may result to a 30% decrease on your internet speed.
Another thing to note here is the one-time initial cash-out (possibly for the router) that you’d have to pay on top of monthly service fee and activation fee. Home Bro Ultera BASIC subscribers will have to shell out extra Php999, while Home Bro Ultera MAX and Home Bro Ultera PRO users will have to pay Php1,599 and Php1,999 respectively to get the service.
Finally, PLDT will be providing discount to existing Canopy and WiMax subscribers who wish to upgrade to the Home Bro Ultera. Instead of paying the usual MSF, upgraders will only have to pay Php1,299 if they switch to the Home Bro Ultra MAX and Php1,699 for the Home Bro Ultera PRO.

Iniisip ko nga kumuha nito sa 5mbps na speed. Kaya lang iniisip ko baka naman araw araw throttled ang internet ko eh di mapipilitan ako mag avail ng add ons.. Eh di ganon din.. Sana wala na lang capping fix kung 2000php monthly pampagulo lang yan kase bakit kailangan pa non.. Di ba kase pwede na magtaas na lang ng price kesa cheaper pero kulang naman ung Mb eh di bibili din dagdag gastos pa.
simula february 2015, 256kbps na lang ang cap speed regardless sa plan. Pareparehas na lang ung speed
Kung may HB ka sigurado maaga kang mamamatay sa sobrang stress sa PLDT na yan hindi na nacoconsume ang ibinabayad ng subscriber’s kulelat na nga ang Pilipinas pagdating sa internet lalo pang ibinabagsak mahiya naman kayo ui………

Please trained your CR kung paano tumugon sa mga complains namin kasi ang laki na ng nagastos ko papunta /balik sa wireless center tapos sabihin punta ka pldt tapos sabihin bang di nila hawak ang ganong problema!ano ba yan!buti sana kong deserving ka mag waste ng pera para sa kanila!!

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE; USELESS SERVICE; connection keeps dropping as in evry hour.
not worth the money
never nagamit ng matino.
Worst experience ever!!!!!!!… very very very bad connection. Worst customer service.
naopen na dati ang topic regarding internet connection issue sa Pilipinas ngaunit naliluntan na naman, ibalik dapat at mapag-usapan uli, daming nalulukong subscribers ang mga telcos.
Sa Signgapore, 1GB ang speed ng internet connection, bakit sa Pilipinas di maibigay sa atin ang ganitong speed. Di worth ang bayad ng subscriber.
NTC umaksyon naman kayo.
Ito yung pinaka GONG GONG na serbisyong pinoy!
DSL – SObrang Bagal
3g/HSPA- 2% mabilis sa DSL
4g/Ultera – LOL parang DSL pa din..
Lam nyo? Dapat siguro magsampa nallng tayo lahat nang kaso noh? nakakabwesit tong PLDT nato.. ginagago tayo..
Kasi nga wala akong choice dito, yung globe gonggong din serbisyo napilitan akong mag PLDT.. LOL
una, DSL.. putang ina napakhina..nawawala yung line.. LOL tapus pinaputol ko xa ha more than 3 years ko xa pinagbigyan.. pinaputol ko.. pababayarin ako ng 500 PhP for disconnection.. haha Putang ina!
Tas, ayun, nag pa connect ako nang Ultera.. putang ina..1 week ang bilis ha.. after 1 week..umpisa nang mga capping.. 30% ba kamo??? hello.. 200 Meters ako from the cellsite.. and i only get wtf less than 1mbps sa 3mbps na LTE????? sabihin niyo nga.. asan justice nito??/ nakakaputa talaga!!
Now, tinawagan ko yung mga gonggong nga customer rep… lam mo, nakakaputa yung mga CR nila..parang lang alam? di ko na sasabihin, im sure you all know what i mean here…kulang nalang sapakin mo sila.. minsan gusto mo kausapin ang manager/supervisor, putang ina sasabihan kang busy sila..walang available! tapus gustu mong mag direct call sa Technical team.. LOL hindi ka nila ireredirect..nagpapakatalino ang mga BOBO!
Advice ko… DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO PLDT ULTERA/DSL -MERON CAPPING.. 10GB PER MONTH, 333mb per day!!!… much better you buy your own modem din i unli mo nalng xa nang buung buwan… papa disconnect ko tong ULterra in 5 days..
In fairness to PLDT, sinabi naman nila na there is a capping and it can be implemented or not depende sa lugar mo. Capping are daily on some areas and on some are monthly.. Pero capping is clearly in plain text before you signup. For 3mbps, it will cap if you reach 10GB of usage if monthly or divide that in 30 if daily ka. The capped speed for 3mbps is 0.9mbps sometimes it is 0.7-0.8 mbps due to line noise.
You can’t blame them if hindi mo binasa ang prints because this time, the prints is not in a tiny small letters that is designed to trick people.
received txt from unknown number informing me that ultera not yet available in my area, has anyone received similar info? searching for more info on area availability of ultera returned 0 results….hmmmmm
Magingat sa pag avail, noong nag sign up ako sa main office nila for the 10mbps plan upgrade account. Tinawagan ng customer rep ang Smart at PLDT heads and techical groups kung me outdoor LTE at indoor LTE, both groups answered that they have at least a few hundreds of available units.
2 days after, pumunta ung installer sa bahay at me dalang LTE indoor, wala daw silang stocks ng outdoor LTE at walang plan kung kelan magpurchase ulit ang PLDT.
Noticed problems:
1. Kung yung LTE ng cellphone nyo na LTE enabled ay full bar, ung indoor na LTE ay 1 bar pero
2. if you switch it down ay magiging hspa+ sya na full bar at speeds not less than 5mbps.
3. This will leave you with one option, request for the outdoor LTE device for unknown period of time.
4. They changed their website (PLDT) and removed all wordings and images pointing to an outdoor LTE device.
Tumawag ako dun sa *1888, sabi per day daw yung cap na xxGB inulit ulit ko pa… ano ba totoo dito alam na malabo yun langya naman sila kahit tauhan nila di yata ni orient
Yang 10GB per month yan idi-divide yan per day which around 333Kbps per day.
Ang galing ng Logic ng PLDT Ultera, halatang di gumagamit ng Internet nag decide ng Capping nila, di ko alam bakit naka pasa ito sa NTC, mukhang nasapalan na naman sila ng pera.
Plan 999 with 10GB per month? Sira ba ulo ng PLDT?
I asked CS nila i-didivide daw per day yan which a total of 333,333MB per day Downloaded Data.
Ha! ha! ha! 400MB nga less than an hour ubos na yan. It means 3Mbps Speed mo less than an hour mo lang magagamit ng tuloy tuloy and pag nag exceed sa capping your speed will drop to 900Kbps lol 900Kbps yan speed ng Smartbro 7-8yrs ago.
Sa laki ng demand ng Data ngayon sa internet yang 10GB saglit lang yan ubos na.
Kalokohan talaga ng PLDT daming inu-utong subscribers.
100% percent tama ka !!!! hindi nila na orient nang tama ang kanilangmga ahente…ang importante sa kanila ay yung maraming taong nag apply nitong ultera ….kahit nga mga tanong anong ibig sabihin nang cap di nga alam……
Pinabilis nila kunyari yung speed di naman talaga ganon yung actual speed na makukuha mo. Canopy 15gb per month at 2mbps sa ultera 10gb per month at 3mbps, nasan yung upgrade don? Anong klaseng panloloko yan PAKI EXPLAIN!!!
Sir sa tingim nio p b enough.pa.din.ung 999kbps and 1.5 mbps para sa pang araw araw na gamitan. I mean kung mabilis pa b ung connection sa.gneang speed. Like.streaming, uploading etc. Thank you p s sasagot.
sa tingin ko ok lng ung speed, sa youtube for ex tingi ko kayang manood ng 720p n video nang dirediretso.basta iisa lng ang device n gumagamitcng internet connection d mo mararamdaman n mabagal ung net.
I just went over to pldt and got this.
i.e 999 when the 10gb is reach per month, you will be reduce to 900kbps
Sir sa tingin m b enough pa din b ung 999kbps and 1.5 mbps para sa. Pang araw araw n gamit . I mean kung mbilis pa b ung connection sa gneang speed? Thankyouu p.s sasagot.
10Mbps internet @ P1,999? That amount can give you 15Mbps! Besides, I did use their service for about three years. To be fair, I wish that they try to remap the Network Infrastructure so we can get, I don’t know; a decent internet speed for a change… Those executives from PLDT have a “Royalty Fee” for every subscriber that subscribe to any PLDT service. Royalty Fee!? Talk about Loaded w/Greens! My point, those executives won’t listen to normal consumers such as myself. They will yield to a Corporate Consumer but not to a Normal Consumer. At least Skycable gives a damn to their customers through Phone announcements! (Call Center only). If MVP becomes President of this country, a massive RIOT will occur. Talk about Inevitable!
