Introduction  

In the Philippines, a stable internet connection is often associated with a fiber-optic network. This broadband option is considered the most reliable, given its high bandwidth and fast data transmission speeds. It’s only unfortunate that fiber-optic plans are still inaccessible in many regions due to infrastructure constraints. Geographical and cost challenges slow down development, leaving rural areas to settle on mobile data or no internet at all. 

If you are here, you are likely one of the many Filipinos seeking access to a reliable internet connection, but cannot use fiber-optics at the moment. It may be because you are in a location where no infrastructure exists yet, or you want to save money. 

The solution? A 5G-based fixed wireless access (FWA). Doing away with lines and cables, this broadband type bridges the gap between cabled internet and mobile data. DITO Telecommunity’s WoWFi is one such example of this increasingly popular option, and one you should definitely try. We will help you get started with this guide!

What Is the DITO Home WoWFi?  

The DITO Home WoWFi is a broadband device that enables you and your household to access the internet wirelessly. Instead of relying on cables, digital subscriber lines (DSL), or satellites, DITO’s fixed wireless broadband utilizes radio waves so that your device can connect to its tower’s network. 

What sets the WoWFi device apart from other wireless internet options is its 5G capabilities. Each WoWFi kit utilizes a next-generation frequency for faster speeds, higher bandwidth, and reduced latency, resulting in an awe-worthy internet experience; hence, the ‘wow’ in the WoWFi name.

To accommodate various internet needs and cater to different budgets, these kits come in multiple plans, which you can explore in the following sections. 

Guide to DITO Home WoWFi Prepaid Promos 

DITO offers prepaid WoWFi plans perfect for home or indoor use. These options offer flexibility in terms of payment and data allocation, making them perfect for testing the WoWFi device first or controlling your internet budget. 

Who Are They For? 

Being online is now an essential part of the Filipino’s modern lifestyle — it allows you to attend virtual classes if you’re a student, work from anywhere if you’re an employee, or purchase goods and services in the comfort of your home.

That said, prepaid WoWFi kits are the best option if you are like any of the following:

• Budget-conscious Individuals. Prepaid plans are typically more affordable than postpaid. You only pay for the internet you need, allowing you to control your expenses.
• Occasional Internet Users. With its various data caps and fixed validity periods, prepaid plans seemed limiting for some subscribers. However, the opposite is true if you go online only when you need to; for instance, after returning home from your on-site work or school. These types of users may treat prepaid WoWFi kits as their second internet access. 

What Are the Options?  

You can choose from among these prepaid WoWFi kits:

After the first 30 days, you can reload your prepaid DITO Home WoWFi kit with their respective promos:

WoWFi Lite

• 30 GB open-access data, valid for seven days (₱180)
• 50 GB open-access data, valid for 30 days (₱480)

WoWFi Pro

• Unli data valid for 15 days (₱490)
• Unli data valid for 30 days (₱790)

 WoWFi Ultra

Be sure to check the speed, data inclusions, and reloading options to see which best fits your internet habits.

Why Choose the DITO Home 5G WoWFi?

There are many wireless broadband providers in the country, so why choose the DITO WoWFi? Here are three compelling reasons:  

Plug and Play Convenience 

You don’t need to be an IT expert to set up your DITO Home 5G WoWFi modem. You simply plug it into a power source for it to work and follow the activation process. While the extra steps involve downloading the DITO app and registering your DITO number, they are quick and easy to do. So long as you are within the network’s coverage area and you put your modem in a central location inside your home, you’re good to go.

Rewards Points 

The DITO app is not only necessary to register your modem, but also a handy tool to earn points that you can use to buy subsequent load promos in the future. It’s especially useful when you are using a prepaid or postpaid modem, because you are entitled to reward points every time you reload or settle your monthly bill. Use the modem more, and you’ll earn more points for future use, contributing to later savings!

Moreover, DITO occasionally holds prize raffles, so if you reload frequently, you can also earn raffle points for a chance to win travel packages, brand-new smartphones, and more.

Fast and Reliable Internet 

A WoWFi device sets itself apart from other wireless broadband modems because of its real 5G capabilities. That means, when you are connecting to the DITO network within its coverage area, you can enjoy faster internet and less data transmission lag, sometimes comparable to what you can experience with a fiber connection. Another assurance is that DITO continues to deploy next-generation 5G infrastructure in strategic locations nationwide, intending to make internet access more reachable for users regardless of where they live and how much they earn. 

Frequently Asked Questions About the DITO Home WoWFi 

How Do I Activate DITO’s Home WoWFi? 

To activate your Home WoWFi, follow these steps:

• Download the DITO App.
• Power up the device and connect your mobile phone to the network. You can find the WoWFi name and password on the modem.
• Connect to the DITO WoWFi network.
• Register your SIM number on the DITO App. Once your registration is confirmed, go back to the app’s home screen and sign in to your account.

What Is the Best Load for My DITO Home WoWFi?

The best load promo for your WoWFi kit will depend on the modem you have. Prepaid kits include the Pro 365, Lite, Pro, and Ultra, while the postpaid plan includes the Optima modem. Because each WoWFi kit comes with unique load promos, you should check the complete list of inclusions and promos first before picking a plan. 

For instance, you wouldn’t want a data-capped plan if you need to be online most of the time, so pick a WoWFi kit that offers unlimited data access. Such modems include the WoWFi Ultra and Pro 365 for prepaid customers, and the Optima for postpaid customers.

Is the DITO WoWFi Suitable for a Work-From-Home Setup? 

Provided that you installed the WoWFi modem in a location with DITO coverage, yes, this kit is suitable for a work-from-home setup. That said, whether you rely on the modem alone or use it as a backup internet will depend on what you do to earn. If your remote work involves minimal real-time communication or you are focused on completing outputs and deliverables that require little to no internet, then it’s fine to settle for the wireless broadband alone. 

However, if your job requires you to be active on work chats at all times, or you need the internet to code, analyze data, or optimize website pages, you need a stable connection. One strategy to consider is to use a fiber connection and make your WoWFi kit your backup. If this option is not possible, you can also opt to use DITO’s mobile data plans to ensure you stay connected if one of the modes fails. 

Conclusion 

A stable internet connection is now possible even without a fiber-optic broadband, so long as you are within DITO’s coverage area and you choose the modem that best suits your needs. With DITO WoWFi’s multiple plan options, 5G capabilities, and reasonable price tags, you are sure to find the perfect tool to help you stay connected.
