Hugs me ‘til I’m out of tears. Takes care of me ‘til I’m well. Prays with me when I can’t find hope for myself. And for that, I find myself so thankful. What I’ve learned from marriage is that love is a choice – a very beautiful and brave choice to make every single morning.” </p><p>Winning her way into the hearts of her fans by the sheer beauty and honesty of her songs over the years, Moira’s journey to fame was not an easy one. Much like her music, it was filled with challenges, heartbreak, and letting go. But true love does not give up, and neither did she.</p><p>In 2018, Moira released a song entitled ‘Malaya’. Shattering hearts and records alike, this hit-single propelled Moira and her mastery of songwriting into greater heights. A multitude of listeners all claim that Moira’s songs hit more than just the right note, but that they spoke straight to the heart and echo the feelings and stories of those that listened to them. The hits continued to pour out; ‘Tagpuan’, ‘Ikaw at Ako’, ‘Paubaya’ and many other songs started to pull at the heartstrings of fans and established Moira as a genuine artist.</p><br/>

Manila, Philippines –  Telecom and digital services leader PLDT, Inc. boosted revenues of its Home Business Group by 10% to its highest-ever level of P36.4 billion in 2018, powered by rising customer demand for its fiber-powered broadband services.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://pldthome.com/images/default-source/news/2018homeresults-426px.jpg?sfvrsn=3f427013_0" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="426" height="640" src="https://pldthome.com/images/default-source/news/2018homeresults-426px.jpg?sfvrsn=3f427013_0" width="454" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
In the past year, PLDT signed up 245,000 new Home customers for its fiber-powered internet services which increased its broadband subscriber base to over 1.9 million.   This raised PLDT Home’s data service revenues by 33% to P27.5 billion, which now accounts for 75% of total Home revenues.<br />
<br />
“2018 has been a stellar year for PLDT Home,” PLDT-Smart SVP and Consumer Business Market Development Head Oscar A. Reyes, Jr. said. “With our aggressive network expansion, we were able to provide Filipinos everywhere in the country with the most powerful network, world-class products and diverse content that allow them to fully embrace and enjoy their digital lifestyles.”<br />
<br />
Reyes said demand for high-speed broadband services at Home has been driven by the growing appetite of Filipinos for online video entertainment services such as Netflix, iflix, Cignal and the NBA.<br />
<br />
“Several recent studies have shown that Filipinos are among the most enthusiastic users of online video in the world.  We are now watching more video online than through broadcast TV,” he explained.<br />
<br />
To serve this growing demand, PLDT expanded its fixed and mobile broadband networks through a record-high capital expenditures (capex) program that reach P58.5 billion in 2018. <br />
<br />
As a result, PLDT’s increased the coverage of its fiber-powered fixed network by 57% to 6.3 million homes passed, exceeding by end-2018 its 2020 target.  Along with greater coverage, PLDT increased the available capacity of its fixed broadband network to 2.6 million ports, 2.6 times more versus the previous year.<br />
<br />
To support this rapid expansion, PLDT also added nearly 70,000 kilometers of fiber cables, expanding its total fiber network to over 244,000 kilometers by 2018, a 39% increase from end-2017.<br />
<br />
PLDT’s aggressive nationwide fiber expansion, through its Fibr City program, continued in 2018. With the cooperation of Local Government Units (LGUs), PLDT has fiber-powered numerous areas, including favorite tourist destination El Nido in Palawan, as well as the country’s bustling shoe capital Marikina City in Metro Manila. Earlier, It transformed key urban areas into PLDT Fibr Cities starting with Toledo City in Cebu, General Santos in Mindanao, Naga City in the Bicol region, as well as South Metro Manila, East Metro Manila, and central business districts like Rockwell Makati and Bonifacio Global City, while Cavite became the first “Smart Province.”<br />
<br />
For 2019, PLDT and its wireless subsidiary Smart Communications are further raising the bar by allocating a new historic-high capex program of P78.4 billion, P20 billion higher than 2018.  This includes a substantial allocation for “Customer Capex” which covers the cost of last-mile and customer premises equipment like modems and acquisition of vehicles, equipment and office space for the new corps of technicians that will fast-track and improve the quality of installation and repair of fixed broadband connections.<br />
<br />
“This increased allocation for customer capex will enable us to quickly connect more homes and businesses with fiber-powered, high-speed fixed broadband,” Reyes explained.<br />
<br />
PLDT’s continuing network expansion and improvement efforts have raised the level of internet services to its growing customer base.  This has been confirmed by leading international internet testing companies.<br />
<br />
For example, global internet testing and analysis leader Ookla cited PLDT as the Philippines’ fastest fixed network in 2018.  In the third and fourth quarters of last year, PLDT posted a Speed Score™ of 18.57, with top download speeds of 52.28 Mbps and top upload speeds of 55.95 Mbps.<br />
<br />
Late last year, PLDT beefed up its service portfolio with the launch of Google Wifi and Prepaid Home WiFi.<br />
<br />
The telco giant ushers a new era of home broadband by introducing the new PLDT Home Google Wifi plans that enable customers to enjoy unlimited high-speed Fibr in every room of the house through strategically placed Google Wifi ‘points.’ These ‘points’ form part of a mesh networking technology that eliminate WiFi dead spots to make the most out of PLDT Home’s fastest unlimited Fibr connection for the family.<br />
<br />
The Prepaid Home WiFi is PLDT’s first ever prepaid broadband service that is powered by Smart’s LTE network, the Philippines’s fastest mobile Internet service according to the latest Speedtest® of both of Ookla and UK-based mobile analytics firm OpenSignal. An affordable wireless Internet service for the household, Prepaid Home Wifi allows families to connect up to five (5) WiFi-ready devices such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, to Smart’s high-speed Internet service.<br />
<br />
Also in 2018, PLDT reaffirmed its commitment to empowering the country’s burgeoning esports community as one of the six founding corporations of The Nationals—the country’s first franchise-based esports league. More recently, PLDT and Smart also unveiled the PLDT-Smart Omega, its very own professional gaming team for The Nationals.<br />
<br />
 “As we look to 2019, we will continue to blaze the trail for data and digital services in the Philippines and raise the bar in delivering unparalleled customer experiences,” Reyes said.

PLDT, Smart are PH’s fastest fixed, mobile networks in 2018

[PRESS RELEASE] <a href="https://www.bestcebublogsawards.com/search/label/PLDT">PLDT </a>and its wireless subsidiary <a href="https://www.bestcebublogsawards.com/search/label/SMART%20Communications">Smart Communications</a>, Inc. (Smart) are the country’s fastest fixed and mobile networks for 2018, according to Ookla, the global leader in internet testing and analysis.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
In its latest report, which covers Q3-Q4 2018, Smart achieved a Speed ScoreTM of 15.57, with average download speeds of 17.86 Mbps and average upload speeds of 8.61 Mbps, based on 2,186,540 user-initiated tests taken with Speedtest® on LTE-capable devices in the Philippines.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, PLDT achieved a Speed Score of 18.57, with top download speeds of 52.28 Mbps and top upload speeds of 55.95 Mbps. The fixed network award is based on 27,221,777 customer-initiated Speedtest nationwide for the same period.<br />
<br />
The Speed Score is a measure that takes into account both upload and download speeds.<br />
<br />
“We are pleased to award Smart with the award for Fastest Mobile Network and PLDT for the award for Fastest Fixed Network in the Philippines. This recognition is testament to their exceptional performance in Q3-Q4 based on Ookla's rigorous analysis of consumer-initiated tests taken with Speedtest," said Jamie Steven, Executive Vice President at Ookla.<br />
<br />
These latest figures are improvements from the Q1-Q2 scores, when Smart posted a Speed Score of 14.98 and PLDT achieved a speed score of 17.31.<br />
<br />
“This award is proof that our continued investments in our network to improve the mobile internet experience of our customers across the country are paying off,” said Mario G. Tamayo, PLDT and Smart senior vice president for Network Planning and Engineering.<br />
<br />
“Improved connectivity has helped Filipinos keep abreast with ever-evolving times, empowering individuals, businesses and government,” Tamayo added. “In addition to our network investments, we have also undertaken LTE migration efforts to assist customers in upgrading to LTE through SIM replacement programs and by partnering with device manufacturers in making LTE devices more accessible,” Tamayo said.<br />

<br />
<b><u>PLDT, Smart ahead in key cities</u></b><br />
<br />
Drilling down, initial data included in Ookla’s country reports showed Smart still posting big leads in key cities like Quezon City, Makati and Manila, for example, while PLDT is still way ahead in Quezon City, Pasig and Manila.<br />
<br />
In Quezon City, for example, Smart posted a Speed Score of 23.09, more than twice that of the competing network. This reflects the results of the major network upgrade activities that Smart recently undertook in the city, including the activation of LTE-Advanced and carrier aggregation.<br />
<br />
For mobile, Speed Score incorporates a measure of each provider’s download and upload speed to rank network speed performance. Tests used to calculate the Speed Score exclusively come from ‘modern devices’, which are devices capable of connecting to the market’s fastest, generally available technology.<br />
<br />
For fixed, Ookla assesses the best network speeds attained across a given network, accounting for tests that are taken on various Speedtest applications that connect to a fixed network, including tests taken on mobile phones over a Wi-Fi connection. Each top carrier accounts for at least 3% of the sample size in the geographic area.<br />

<b>Investment in network transformation</b><br />
<br />
The awards come as PLDT and Smart ramp up their integrated fixed and wireless network expansion. PLDT has committed historic levels of resources to support network transformation which is estimated to amount to US$ 5 billion from 2016 to 2020. In 2018, capital expenditures were at P58 billion.<br />
<br />
Alongside Smart’s ramped-up Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) roll out, PLDT is also aggressively rolling out its fiber broadband service, which also supports the stepped-up deployment of the mobile network by providing high-capacity links for cellular base stations.<br />
<br />
To date, Smart has also already fulfilled its commitment to the National Telecommunications Commission to cover at least 90 percent of cities and municipalities to address the growing demand for broadband infrastructure and internet access within three years from the grant of the use of frequencies by the NTC in 2016.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, PLDT operates the country’s most extensive fiber infrastructure at 221,000 km and its fiber coverage has now reached 5.75 million homes as of end of the 3rd quarter of 2018, while its total capacity of 2.25 million ports has more than doubled from end of 2017.<br />
