Almost a year after the initial rollout of its mobile network service, DITO Telecommunity is expanding its offerings with the release of its fixed 5G broadband service.
The DITO 5G broadband, as per the company, can provide up to 500Mbps of download speeds for households to use. Albeit, it’s still currently under pilot testing and is only available 146 barangay around Metro Manila.

To get the service, users have to shell out an amount of Php12,990 for the starter kit, which includes the DITO SIM card and the 5G modem itself.
As a special treat to its first users, those who will get the starter kit during the introductory period will get a free 50GB of open-access data valid for 30 days. They will also enjoy a free subscription to HBO Go for 3 months.
Once the freebie is over, users can subscribe to the data plans listed below. For a limited time, DITO has a double-data offer where users will get twice the data allocation.

The third telco in the Philippines is yet to announce when the service will be available in other markets. Meanwhile, its mobile network is now available in tons of locations across the Philippines and now works in a list of compatible devices.
How will they compete with the established Telcos, who would pay for 13k starter kit and pay as much as 2K monthly then still have a cap on your internet usage. One would rather go for PLDT Home Fibr
But if they make it UNLI, people might reconsider despite the 13K initial cost
Expensive when compared to Smart Unli 5G.
