PLDT Home Fiber 'Always ON' the ONE modem to rule them all

     Among the first of its kind in the world, this newly launched new hybrid modem can automatically switch a customer’s connection from fiber to LTE in case of downtime. The device can deliver speeds of up to 1 Gbps and is equipped with unlimited LTE that serves as backup.

“We call this ‘Always On.’ In the event of a service interruption, you don’t need to worry about losing access to the internet. Even with a severed cable, you will stay connected and pursue your online activities with minimal interruption,” said Jeremiah de la Cruz, Senior Vice President and Head of Home Business Group at PLDT.

     When the device detects downtime and switches to LTE, the new Always On modem will also file a service repair ticket so that customers no longer have to report loss of service. “We wanted to create a product that was responsive to the needs of our customers. We believe this will help elevate the internet standard in the country,” added de la Cruz.

Feature: ML Wallet App

     The advancement of technology has made our life easier and more convenient. I had my first mobile phone when I was in second-year high school and if my memory serves me right, I use it to call or send messages to my family and friends. As the year passes by, mobile phones became the tool to access the internet, send email, take beautiful photos, or a handy device for navigating and so on. Fast forward to today, they're now mobile wallets too. 

     According to clearviewfcu.org, a mobile wallet is a digital way to store credit, debit, ID, and gift cards so that purchases can be made using a mobile smart device rather than a physical card. It has advantages and disadvantages for the users but after the pandemic hit, the pros outweigh the cons. Mobile wallets became a necessity, a tool that became part of our daily life. I recently discovered a M Lhuillier's official mobile application called ML Wallet that allows users to send and receive money, buy eLoad, pay bills, shop online, and more using a smartphone. It is interesting to know that ML Wallet App offers a wide array of services making it more convenient to the users. Scroll down to know more about the exciting features of this mobile application.
