PLDT Fiber 1Gbps is marketed at 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps) download speeds. In real-world usage, wired connections to a compatible router typically achieve speeds between 850–980 Mbps download during off-peak hours. During peak evening hours (7–10 PM), speeds may dip to 400–700 Mbps depending on your area's network load.
For the most accurate speed result, always test via a wired Ethernet connection directly from your PLDT modem to your device — Wi-Fi speeds will always be lower.
Upload speeds on PLDT 1Gbps plans are typically symmetric, meaning you should receive close to 500–900 Mbps upload as well. Some users report upload speeds being slightly lower than download, particularly on Wi-Fi connections.
How to Run a PLDT Fiber 1Gbps Speed Test
- Connect your device directly to the PLDT modem via Ethernet cable
- Close all background applications and browser tabs
- Visit fast.com or speedtest.net (Ookla) and select a Philippine server
- Run at least 3 tests at different times of day for an accurate average
- If speeds are consistently below 300 Mbps, contact PLDT support at 171
PLDT guarantees a minimum of 30% of your subscribed speed at 80% service reliability. For a 1Gbps plan, this means PLDT is contractually obligated to deliver at least 300 Mbps at most times. If you are consistently getting below this threshold, you are entitled to report a service issue.
