Ako ok naman speedboost ng Google Home 2099, 100Mbps nmn usually nakukuha ko kaso nung December may promo sila na 149php ata yun for 200Mbps, kinancel ko na sya nung February kasi tapos na promo, kaso yung permanent speedboost ng plan ko inalis din, now balik ako sa 50Mbps.

Am still waiting from the email of your pldt agents Mr. Bon and Mark. We already applied to upgrade our mydsl 1299plan to pldt fiber 1699 plan. Where will i submit our supporting documents that you needed? Thank you and God bless

lagi akong nag ta try para sa free speed test. puro error lumalabas. kahit pa ulitin, error pa din.

Elsa · 6 years ago

Does anyone here experience additional amount on their pldt bill after availing the free booster?

A.Kane · 6 years ago

After a couple of months pestering the living bejeezus out of them thanks to their slow af service, got ours today. The thing is, you have to have a 5g device. I don’t remember this being mentioned in the ads. I’m getting 105Mbps on my Oppo F7. My partner gets the old speed (50Mbps) on an Samsung S9.

Sino dito nkaranas after mag speedboost 50ms/94mbps download/12mbps upload?

Ferdie · 6 years ago

I couldn’t find supporting documents that this speed boost is permanent.

Anyone who confirmed that it is permanent? If not please enlighten me.

jool · 6 years ago

Why does PLDT need to require their customers to do such stuff? This should be an automatic upgrade to all PLDT subscribers. Their customers need to receive the correct speed they have been paying for. Philippines need more telco players.

Good pm. I received the following message at 4:23 pm today:
Hi CECILIA! Live a full life at full speed with the FREE speedboost for all! Enjoy this EXCLUSIVE freebie with your PLDT Home Fibr with landline number (XXX)-XXX-7647. Visit https://pldt.com.ph/speedboost now.
I was busy this afternoon and I only have this time to do the instruction given. However, I tried to already do step 1. And did it several times but it won’t go to step 2. There was always a note saying they’re waiting for http://www.pldt.com.ph.
Why is this? Did the time difference matter? Meaning when i received the message in my mobile phone and now registering via my laptop? I hope you can help me. Thanks.

it’s a scam DO NOT UPGRADE… lalo lang bumagal fiber namin… d na umaabot 50mbps. dapat 100mbps na.. sa ngayon 20mbps lang net namin.. > : (

A.Kane · 6 years ago

Ask for their new 5G router. Also, your devices need to be 5G ready. Then you’ll get your Speed Boost. Its what happened to me.

MARK · 6 years ago

Bakit po ganito sir?

Leticia P. Cavales · 6 years ago

THIS IS A SCAM! WE NEVER RECEIVED THE SPEED BOOST

jayvhee · 6 years ago

PLDT have tricked us again. they never mentioned that if you avail of the upgrade, they will put you on NAT and with NAT, there are websites that you cannot access. Dyndns will not work too. And if you are using security cameras that was not purchased from pldt, and especially the old ones, you will be out of luck.

poytips · 6 years ago

ppwede pa ba yun ipa-cancel if ever na upgrade ka na?

James · 6 years ago

ganito rin po ba sainyo pag tinype na ung landline number nyo?

Our system is undergoing upgrade at the moment.
Please retry clicking the free speed increase link after few hours.

anon · 6 years ago

Ralston · 6 years ago

“ We are continuously upgrading our

The resource cannot be found na po sya

Larry Laffer · 7 years ago

It’s much readable if you present the plan and speed boost information in a table.

Rnld · 7 years ago

Im unsure to try it, there might be a catch or a random increase in the billing.

rdatair · 7 years ago

NIlagay ko yung phone number namin pero di tinatanggap (plan 1899 20mbps). Any tips??

Tony Soriaga · 7 years ago

please help wala pa free speed boost

Jimnor Aguilar · 7 years ago

I want to upgrade

Matthew · 7 years ago

How about plan 999? Will it get an upgrade?

JonathanLara · 7 years ago

Tried to fill up the code but always invalid many times. But failed..

Brys · 7 years ago

Is this permanent?

james · 7 years ago

What a joke. I get 25mbps upload AND download on Converge for a measly 1500 per month. No caps whatsoever.

John Ralph · 7 years ago

Im a DSL subscriber, I also got the free boost and still having the boost.

Dennis · 6 years ago

How sir? 1699 dsl kame wala naman.

EJ · 7 years ago

Got the free permanent speed boost email 1st week of October but when I clicked on the link and entered our landline number. There’s no 6-digit code sent to the registered mobile number. Tried numerous times to resend the verification code but never received any. Raised this via Twitter and still no resolution from PLDT Care aside from the canned responses each time I make a follow-up.

Buboy · 7 years ago

try niyo po ulet today. kasi ganun din po sa akin. wala ako na receive na code kahapon. pero ngayong umaga may na receive ako na email tapos click lang ng link and nag work naman. ngayon doble na speed ng net namin from 5mbps to 10mbps.

Lea · 7 years ago

Same. But i tried today and it worked

K L · 7 years ago

walang kwenta ang fiber kung dsl speed parin ang base plan… kaya kulelat sa world average ang Pilipinas

Anon · 7 years ago

The upload speed is equal to or higher than the download speed in fibr connections compared to DSL na around 1/5 or lower lang. Very important when you need to upload a lot for work.
