PLDT is sending out texts to Home Fibr subscribers offering a free speed boost for their Home Fibr account. The text message links to a portal where the subscriber can input their landline number for verification and receive the speed boost. As of this moment, I have yet to activate my account’s speed boost as I am receiving a message that we’re not covered by the speed boost facility yet.
The initial text can be seen above with the link going to the verification portal.
The full URL once access is here: https://www.pldt.com.ph/ConsentPortal/SBC-ServiceNoValidation.aspx
As of this moment, it seems I am eligible for the update but my area facilities is still being upgraded. No indication of redemption date as well as how much speed is gained.
Redditors on r/Philippines have reported receiving similar texts and successfully activating their speed boosts with PLDT Home Fibr Plan 1899 25Mbps boosting to 30Mbps and PLDT Home Fibr Plan 2899 50Mbps will be 100Mbps.
Early reports we received as of late August have also suggested the same numbers as detailed below:
- Home Fibr Plan 6299 from 250Mbps to 350Mbps (TBD)
- Home Fibr Plan 2899 from 50Mbps to 100Mbps (TBD)
- Home Fibr Plan 1899 from 25Mbps to 30Mbps
- Home Fibr Plan 1299 from 5Mbps to 10Mbps
We’ll update this article once we receive our update or other news.

This puts them in closer contention with Converge’s service which rights now peaks at 500Mbps for their FiberXtreme Plan 7000. Converge still offers a more competitive Plan 1500 for 25Mbps. Converge does not bundle a landline service with their fiber subscription.

Got the speed boost today,, 50Mbps went up to about 80Mbps.
Still waiting for the 6-digit code…
wala dn sakin tagal eh
wheres the 6 digit code?
The 6 digit code is taking forever to be sent to my mobile XD
Just called their customer support and the agent confirmed that they have an ongoing issue with the mobile authentication process. I was advised that the issue should be resolved today. Hope that helps! 🙂
Me too. I received the text from pldt pero hanggang ngayon nganga pa din kakahintay ng code.Haha
ako nga din po eh nung umaga pa naghihintay pero nganga sa code hehe
hahahahah scam ba to o ano? ang tagal ng 6 digit code nila kasing bagal ng internet nila hahaha,
hays waiting
The 6 digit code was lost on space.
For those waiting forever for the code via text, abandon it and call 171 instead from your PLDT landline or Smart SIM based phone. Talk to a customer service rep, it will be faster and way easier to get through.
Bakit sakin nag txt din eh naka dsl lng naman ako ?
nagpunta ako sa office kung saan ako nagbabayad ng bill nila para magtanong dito sa freeboost ang sagot sakin ng customer serv rep nila buong pilipinas daw kasi ito kaya wala pang code dahil daw sa dami, mag hintay lng daw at mag try ng mag try sa link wala naman daw mawawala sa iyo pag ginawa mo yun free lng naman daw kasi yun sabi ko ano wala ba kami gawin na iba pa para dito? sagot nya wala iyun na daw eh… sana hindi na lng sila ng txt para hindi ako umaasa hahahahaha
I called to verify kung totoo, ang sabi ng CS. Rep kung wala p within 72 hrs, tawagan sila para i follow-up yung free speed boost
the pldt-home sent me the password (OTP) 12:57 am in the morning when I already asleep which is more than 24 hrs I’m waiting for that 6 digit code, then when I woke up I immediately try to submit hoping it will work out but of course as you all know stated in the message enter the code within 15min, as a result, the code becomes invalid: so I’m wondering because they sent me the code and the code become invalid did I lost the chance of free speed boost they giving wow wow wow wow PLDT is the best please somehow try to clarify this issue thank you so much…
