The PLDT Home Speed Add-On is a popular upgrade option that allows existing PLDT Home Fiber subscribers to temporarily or permanently boost their current plan speed up to 1Gbps. As of 2026, this add-on starts at just ₱500 per month, making it the most affordable path to gigabit internet for existing PLDT customers who do not want to change their base plan.
PLDT Home also ran a promotional period where customers on Fiber Plan 1699 and higher received a free 1Gbps speed boost until December 31, 2025 — demonstrating their commitment to expanding gigabit access.
To activate the Speed Add-On, subscribers can log in to the My PLDT app or the PLDT Home website. The add-on is billed monthly and can typically be cancelled at any time without penalty, unlike the base plan's 24-month lock-in.
