PLDT Home launches MyOwnWifi
Dedicated WiFi for those who need exclusive bandwidth
Sharing your internet with the rest of people in the same place can sometimes take a toll in the connection’s bandwidth especially if one needs to consume a high bandwidth, like for watching HD videos.
To solve this, PLDT Home has launched MyOwnWifi. It lets solo heavy bandwidth users to get the maximum speed of their modem without affecting others’ connection.
To do this, there will be a secondary Fiber connection and a Wifi Mesh device delivered for free so they can connect more devices.
To get the second line, just pay 50 percent of the original plan of the first line:
- Fiber Plan 1299 (25Mbps)
- Fiber Plan 1699 (100Mbps)
- Fiber Plan 2099 (200Mbps)
- Fiber Plan 2699 (400Mbps)
Just to recall, PLDT Home Fiber Plans come in two categories: Fiber Unli Plans and Fiber Plus Plans, which are inclusive of Mesh Wifi devices.
Plug, play, enjoy
The best part of MyOwnWifi is that there’s no installation required. Upon successful subscription, subscribers can connect the MyOwnWifi device to LAN Port 2 of their existing modem, and instantly get the additional same speeds as their current subscription.
The add-on will also be charged on top of their current subscription bill for a seamless and hassle-free experience.
Xiaomi has officially launched its Mi.com online store in the Philippines. This standalone website offers a more direct and centralized shopping experience, as Xiaomi has shifted away from third-party marketplaces.
The dedicated platform serves as a one-stop destination for the entire Xiaomi ecosystem. This includes the brand’s smartphones, smart home devices, and even the POCO lineup.
For instance, there’s the REDMI Note 15 Pro 5G, Xiaomi Smart Band 10, and Xiaomi Sound Party, among others.
The move marks a significant transition for Xiaomi’s consumers in the market. The brand mentioned wanting to deliver a smarter, more rewarding digital shopping experience tailored for Filipino consumers.
Moreover, customers do not have to worry about the presence of discount vouchers or a reward system, as the Mi.com website has these integrated. That way, customers will still find a great value for direct purchases.
Here’s a quick rundown of Xiaomi’s exclusive offers to celebrate the announcement of a standalone site:
- Launch-Exclusive Vouchers: 10% off coupons on selected inventory, tiered discounts based on total purchase value
- Daily Flash Sales: Two high-traffic windows are scheduled daily from 10:00 AM to 12:00 NN and 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
- Enhanced Loyalty Rewards: new Xiaomi Account sign-ups receive 50 Mi Points (1 Mi Point = PhP 1); during launch window, all purchases earn double points, which can be redeemed for future cashbacks
