Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT), the country’s dominant provider by subscribers and revenue, has reportedly completed a major two-year PHP67 billion (USD1.6 billion) network modernisation plan ahead of schedule. The ambitious project is expected to significantly enhance service quality through a more than tripling of voice and data capacity, it said. Commenting on the development, PLDT president and CEO Napoleon L Nazareno said: The group's investments have produced a network that is unrivalled in terms of coverage, capacity, and resiliency … What was already the most extensive and advanced network in the country has been further super-charged with our access network providing the widest coverage via the expansion of LTE sites and a transport network that rides on over 48,000km of fibre assets with an additional 6,000km of fibre-to-the-home rolled out.’ In total, the PLDT group now has over 54,000km of fibre in its network, roughly four times the 12,000km of fibre-optic networks being built by its rivals.
