The Philippines is witnessing a revolutionary shift in internet connectivity as DITO Telecommunity expands its 5G footprint across the nation. With the extended reach of 5G technology, Filipinos now have access to information faster and smoother than ever before, marking a significant milestone in the country’s digital transformation.

DITO Telecommunity has emerged as a key player in the race to provide “real” 5G speeds, making high-performance connectivity a staple in Filipino households. The company’s commitment to fuel the country’s digital shift is evident in its massive investments to bolster its 5G network infrastructure, ensuring subscribers experience true 5G speeds directly from the source. This sets DITO apart from its competitors, who still rely on non-standalone 5G networks to deliver their 5G services.

“Seeing our 5G standalone network as breakthrough connectivity, this is the real 5G we want to offer to Filipino subscribers nationwide. Since it started deploying its infrastructure, DITO Telecommunity has been investing in the latest technologies like 5G as part of our commitment to boost connectivity and unlock new opportunities for customers in every corner of the Philippines,” according to Rodolfo D. Santiago Chief Technology Officer of DITO Telecommunity.

The advantages of 5G technology enable Filipinos to maximize high-speed connectivity in various ways:

  1. Ultrafast Internet Connection: With 5G networks, internet speeds effortlessly surpass those of 4G, reaching up to 10 to 100 times faster. This translates to lightning-fast downloads and uploads, significantly enhancing the overall browsing experience.
  2. Processing Large Volumes of Data: Thanks to higher speeds, the 5G network can handle massive data transfers with ease and minimal delays, enabling seamless interactions with data-intensive applications.
  3. Connectivity for Multiple Devices: Unlike its predecessor, 5G has a greater capacity, making it ideal for connecting numerous devices simultaneously. Whether at home or in crowded public spaces, users can expect uninterrupted browsing, gaming, and streaming experiences, even with multiple devices competing for a connection.
  4. Lag-Free Experience: The low latency of 5G technology ensures a lag-free experience, enabling users to stream high-quality videos, engage in real-time gaming, and perform other data-intensive tasks without any noticeable delays.
  5. Enabling New Technologies: 5G plays a crucial role in the development of smart cities and supports the connectivity requirements of other cutting-edge technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT).

In response to the soaring demand for high-speed internet, DITO Telecommunity is empowering both its mobile subscribers and Filipino households with its DITO Home service. Boasting speeds of up to 500 Mbps, DITO Home can connect up to 32 devices, allowing Filipinos to upgrade their digital lifestyles and engage in more online activities.

DITO Home has already made a significant impact, reaching around 500 barangays in Metro Manila and 50 barangays in Cebu. Thousands of Filipino families have embraced DITO’s fastest internet yet, and the company shows no signs of slowing down. With ambitious plans to deploy more 5G sites, DITO Telecommunity is on track to bring this game-changing technology to even more Filipino homes. As of the end of 2022, the company had successfully constructed nearly 6,000 towers across the country, providing coverage to over 700 areas.

As DITO Telecommunity continues its mission to revolutionize internet connectivity in the Philippines, the nation can look forward to a digital landscape that supports cutting-edge technologies and enables Filipinos to thrive in the digital era.
