PLDT DSL vs Fiber Speed Comparison
Speed is the most common reason people upgrade from DSL to fiber. Fiber has much more bandwidth headroom and typically offers better uploads.
Typical Speed Range
| Feature | DSL | PLDT FIBR (FTTH) |
|---|---|---|
| Download | Often 1–20 Mbps (varies by line/distance) | Commonly 25 Mbps to 1 Gbps+ (plan/area dependent) |
| Upload | Usually much lower than download | Near‑symmetric or higher uploads vs DSL |
| Upgrade Path | Limited by copper | Easy to scale with better optics/network |
