#filipinos internet usage

In this report, the agency finds that as of January 2018, Filipinos spend close to 9.5 hours a day on average, using the internet. Recognizing this growing reality, PLDT Home continues to go beyond delivering reliable and fast internet by championing responsible digital citizenship through Online Alerto, its online safety advocacy that empowers Filipinos to navigate the digital world more safely and responsibly. More than an online group, it is a growing digital community where Filipinos find educational content, actionable online safety tips, discussions about responsible internet use, and real-life conversations on navigating today’s increasingly complex digital world. As household expenses continue to rise, more Filipinos are becoming smarter and more intentional about how they spend, especially when it comes to home internet. Why More Filipinos Are Switching to Fiber Prepaid Fiber internet used to be available only on postpaid subscriptions with monthly bills and fixed 24-month contracts. For households with higher internet usage, having more speed options offers greater flexibility, rather than forcing users into a single setup that may not meet their needs. That gives households more freedom to match internet spending with actual usage.
