PLDT Home Speedboost Promo gets you up to 2x internet speeds for FREE

4:31 PM lifestyle , pldt 0 Comments

If you’re a new customer of selected PLDT Home Fiber Plans, you can boost your internet speeds up to 2x faster with the PLDT Home Speedboost Promo for FREE for six (6) months when you apply until March 31, 2025.


This upgrade works great for homes with users who have different requirements and demands, such as those who work from home, gamers who need to download games and play with low latency, creators who need to download and upload huge files, and those who want seamless 4K streaming of their favorite movies and TV shows.


How you’ll benefit from PLDT Home’s Speedboost Promo:

● Significantly increased bandwidth: For example, subscribers on a Fiber Unli Plan 1299 with 50 Mbps will experience up to 100 Mbps. If you’re on a 700 Mbps plan, you will experience speeds of 1 Gbps. Check out https://www.pldthome.com/speedboost2025 for details.

 

● Smoother network performance across all devices at home: Boosting your internet speed will give you a smoother experience as devices won’t have to compete over the limited bandwidth. Are you on video call while someone else is watching Netflix on 4K TV? You can do both, and more when you have a faster internet speed!

 

● Uninterrupted entertainment: Speaking of Netflix, do you already have a 4K TV but the streaming quality is pixelated or constantly buffering? The quick fix is to boost your internet speed so you have uninterrupted entertainment. Good thing PLDT Home Fiber Netflix plan 1599 got Speedboost of up to 300 Mbps!

 

● Better gaming experience: Games nowadays have better graphics and higher hardware requirements. Upgrading your gaming rig or console is not enough; you must also upgrade your internet speed to cope with the demands. What’s the point of having all these games online if it takesyou forever to download a new game or update? Boost your internet speed so you can drop into that game faster!

 

● Gets you ready for data-intensive tasks: Gaming and streaming are not the only tasks that require a faster internet connection. Those who work from home can accomplish tasks faster, as websites and online tools load faster. This is also a blessing for creatives who work with large assets that need to be downloaded and uploaded regularly, or those who work with cloud backups.

 

● You can add more devices to your network: The increased internet speed will allow you to take advantage of IoT devices such as smart lights, Wi-Fi security cameras, smart speakers, smart appliances, and smart wearables. Network congestion won’t be an issue as you have a boosted bandwidth. A good mesh Wi-Fi system is recommended for these setups.

 

If you’re not yet a PLDT Home subscriber, this is the perfect time to switch and enjoy the following benefits:

 

● Free Speedboost to the next higher plan
● 50% off monthly service fees for the first six (6) months
● Free installation and activation (worth ₱3,600)
● A chance to win exciting smart home gadgets, including a Smart TV, PlayStation 5, tablets, and a smartwatch!

 

“Speed and reliability are essential for a fully connected home,” said Patrick Tang, First Vice President and Head of PLDT Home Acquisition Marketing. “Our Speedboost offer ensures that customers get the best fiber-fast experience at home, allowing them to level up their digital lifestyle with seamless browsing, streaming, and online work.”

Vista Land maintains strong presence in the King City of the South

12:58 PM lifestyle , Vista Land 0 Comments
For nearly three decades, Vista Land, the Philippines' leading integrated property developer, has established a formidable presence in Davao Region. Situated along the Asia-Pacific Rim, Davao Region is a key gateway between the Eastern and Western hemispheres, positioning the Port of Davao as the busiest in Mindanao. Davao continues to entice migrants from across the country, drawn by the prospects in this established urban center.

With over 150 hectares of master-planned developments, house-and-lot communities, and condominium developments, it has helped shape the evolving regional landscape. Among its key projects are Camella Cerritos Davao, Camella Davao, Camella Digos, Camella Tagum, Camella Tagum Trails, Camella Toril, Solariega, and Toscana, along with multi-tower complexes such as Celesta, Frontera, and Northpoint. 

Davao City, the rising metropolis of the South

Recognized as the economic powerhouse of the South, Davao City offers an ideal setting for those looking to secure their future. Its robust local economy, modern infrastructure, and investor-friendly environment make it one of the most desirable places for business and real estate investment. 

With easy access to historical landmarks, pristine beaches, and breathtaking natural wonders, the quality of life in Davao City ranks among the best in the country. With the relentless drive of modern Davaoeños, the city’s growth is poised to be remarkable, and the demand for good quality homes will only continue to rise.

Frontera, a pine vertical village in Davao City

Frontera by Vista Manors sits along Manuel Garcia Road in Buhangin, near the Davao City bypass road, providing direct connectivity to Bukidnon-Davao Road, Barangay Toril, and Communal Road. 

With modern infrastructure developments underway, Frontera is poised to accommodate the anticipated influx of property seekers and investors looking to establish smart-ready homes in Davao City. Spanning nearly two hectares, the vertical pine village will house mid-rise condominium towers tucked behind Caribbean pine trees, embodying the Vista Manors resort-inspired lifestyle.


Frontera will be constructed with smart features to enhance both convenience and security. It will feature resort-themed amenities including infinity and kiddie pools, an energy park, and an amphitheater. Milestone celebrations can be held at the clubhouse while kids can delight in the nearby kiddie playground.
The vertical village is set to become a beacon of progress, positioned near business districts, commercial centers, top educational institutions, places of worship, and major transportation hubs.

Tagum, the next big city in Davao Del Norte

Tagum City is the bustling epicenter of activity within Davao del Norte, carving out its own identity while remaining an integral part of Metropolitan Davao. Tagum stands out with its distinct character— a juxtaposition of urban infrastructure framed against a backdrop of picturesque mountains and towering royal palm trees lining its main avenue.

With its booming industries and favorable business climate, Tagum is evolving into a hub for commerce, trade, and tourism. Supported by a skilled workforce and supportive local government, the city is well-positioned for sustained growth.

Celesta, bringing harmony to the Music Capital of the South

Renowned for its vibrant music scene, Tagum City has earned the title of 'Music Capital of the South.' As the host of festivals such as the Musikahan Festival, Tagum City has attracted enthusiasts from across the country and beyond, setting the stage for concerts by homegrown talents and multinational artists. What truly sets Tagum apart, however, is its symphony of traditional and contemporary genres reflecting its rich cultural heritage and artistic evolution.
Inspired by this deep-rooted passion for music, Vista Land introduces Celesta, a vertical village rising in the heart of Tagum. Designed to orchestrate enhanced experiences in this part of Mindanao, Celesta offers an elevated lifestyle that resonates with the creative energy and progressive spirit of the city.

Every detail in Celesta is thoughtfully composed to create a masterpiece of contemporary living. Residents will have access to an array of resort-themed amenities, including a grand pavilion, swimming pool, and recreational spaces, all designed to foster relaxation and leisure. The vertical village finely tunes style, comfort, and functionality, offering a calm yet captivating escape.


 

An investment into a better way of living

Filipinos deserve the best—this driving belief has been integral to Vista Land and its day-to-day operations and is the secret to its success.

As the holding company of the housing ventures of Vista Group, Vista Land is primarily engaged in developing master planned communities, horizontal properties, and the construction of vertical residences in the Philippines' key growth areas. Creating better, expansive, and global-oriented offerings and experiences for its residents, as well as delivering excellent long-term investment growth for its stakeholders, has always been the impetus behind the conglomerate's continuous evolution.
