MANILA, Philippines – “Need for speed” in the context of Internet connection is a vital and universal concern as downloading large files and streaming media content have become part of an average person’s daily digital consumption.
Long-Term Evolution (LTE), which is currently the most advanced wireless Internet technology in the country, delivers the type of speed and connectivity necessary for Internet usage. Often touted as the “future of 3G,” LTE can efficiently handle data tasks such as browsing and downloading on any kind of device.
The leading provider of advanced communications and multimedia services, PLDT HOME takes bigger strides in Internet technology by introducing PLDT HOME Bro Ultera, the first TD-LTE (Time-Division Long-Term Evolution) network created exclusively for the home. TD-LTE is a variant of LTE that uses a dedicated network with an allocated bandwidth, apart from the one used by mobile phones or pocket WiFi modems.
Should TD-LTE start being a necessity in the home? How do you know if your family needs it? Check if your home’s Internet needs match these situations.
You want fast downloads
Ever experienced waiting almost an hour for a large file to download, only to have the progress bar hang at the last 2 percent? PLDT HOME Bro Ultera directly addresses this issue as it can reach high download speeds of up to 10 Mbps on a wireless connection for your home.
With PLDT HOME Bro Ultera, downloading a 1.5-hour high definition movie would take only 20 minutes – a rapid time frame compared to the hours it usually takes. An album of 20 Facebook photos can be uploaded in 10 seconds, and a 10-song album can be downloaded in just 35 seconds.
Cabled connections are not an option
In rural areas, Internet infrastructure is still undergoing development, so cable-based networks may be either unavailable or still unstable. TD-LTE connectivity can be an asset for homes that do not have access to hard-wired networks (i.e. phone cables or optical cables).
TD-LTE connectivity is already available in key areas around the archipelago, such as Cavite, Pampanga, Bulacan, Bataan, Aklan, and Zamboanga del Sur, among others. As the infrastructures are completed, TD-LTE’s reach will expand to more areas.
You want exclusive content
The Internet is not only a source of information, but also a highway for digitally-powered learning, entertainment, and bonding. Getting a TD-LTE-powered plan with PLDT HOME Bro Ultera comes bundled with services that make good use of its speed.
PLDT HOME Bro Ultera provides subscribers with free exclusive access to hundreds of movies via Clickplay, episodes of Asianovelas (Asian TV series) and Tagalized animes from MyPinoyTV. You can also download songs via Spinnr powered by SMART Music. Kids and kids-at-heart can also enjoy the latest online games from EA Games. The news-hungry can get their dose of current events through News5 Everywhere.
As an added bonus, PLDT HOME Bro Ultera subscribers can avail of PLDT HOME TVolution, a powerful Android device that turns an ordinary TV into an Internet TV. Offering unlimited and optimal TV viewing entertainment, PLDT HOME TVolution is designed to level up and enhance bonding moments at home.
If your family craves meaningful interactions online, PLDT HOME Bro Ultera is the ideal partner that offers all that and more with speed you can’t beat. – Rappler.com
