PLDT FIBR vs DSL: What’s the Difference?

PLDT offers broadband using two very different last‑mile technologies: DSL (copper phone lines) and FIBR (fiber‑to‑the‑home, FTTH). This guide explains how they differ in connection type, speed, stability, and best use cases.

Connection Technology

• DSL: Runs over copper telephone wiring and uses electrical signals. Performance is limited by line quality and distance.
• PLDT FIBR: Uses fiber‑optic cable (glass) and transmits data as light. FTTH brings fiber close to (or into) the home for higher capacity.

Quick Summary

If fiber is available in your area, PLDT FIBR is typically faster, more consistent, and more future‑proof than DSL.
