Introduction

Connecting to the internet is becoming more of a necessity than a luxury for many of us. Yet the reality is that many homes, yours included, see price as a barrier to upgrading their WiFi connection. 

Fortunately, DITO Telecommunity’s WoWFi Pro 365 comes with a price that even budget-conscious households can consider. It’s not about the modem being cheap, but rather about the value over price it delivers. Want to learn the details? Read on to find out how much the Pro 365 costs and why it offers the best value for your budget.

What Is the Price of the DITO WoWFi Pro 365?

The DITO WoWFi Pro 365 costs ₱7,290 as of writing. Note that the said amount is the discounted price for the modem kit, with the original price at ₱11,470. Both are relatively affordable, given that the Pro 365 delivers unlimited 5G data access for 365 days. 

The affordable WiFi package includes a modem and a DITO WoWFi SIM, and connects to the telco’s 5G network with an easy plug-and-play installation. Internet speeds for WoWFi Pro 365 can reach up to 100 Mbps, with a minimum download speed of 10 Mbps at 80% reliability.

Reasons the DITO WoWFi Pro 365 Is a Best-Value Buy for Its Price

DITO WoWFi Pro 365’s value over its price is one of the factors you should consider if you’re thinking about getting the WiFi kit. Here are the following reasons why this kit makes a valuable addition to your home:

Lower Home WiFi Plan Costs

Fixed wireless access (FWA) broadband, specifically those built for prepaid home WiFi plans, is generally affordable. Most routers even cost less than ₱1,000! This type of access is welcome because it offers an alternative to more expensive fiber-optic broadband and sometimes unstable mobile data connections. 

What makes Pro 365 special, even if similar wireless modems are within the same price range, is the amount of data access you get when you buy it. Sure, it costs over ₱7,000 (over ₱11,000 without discount), but that one-time purchase gives you unlimited 5G data access for 365 days. That’s around ₱20 to ₱30 per day for unlimited WiFi for a year! For perspective, equally affordable DITO Home WoWFi Lite and Pro kits come with generous data plans ranging from ₱480 to ₱790, but these are paid monthly.

Unlimited Data for Less

We learned that you’re essentially paying less than ₱20 to ₱30 a day for a year if you buy the Pro 365. But how does this price breakdown stack up against other unlimited home WiFi plans? Below is a comparison table for DITO’s WoWFi options:

Looking at the comparison, Pro 365 offers a lower daily price breakdown, and the good news is you can enjoy savings for a year. Note, though, that after the 365-day offer, your Pro 365 becomes similar to a Pro kit, where you can load unlimited data plans monthly. 

Still, getting Pro 365 while it’s still available means you have a year to save a lot of money because you’re not purchasing plans. The special modem kit can also serve as a testing ground for upgrading to Ultra or Optima, if you decide that unlimited WiFi plans are the only option for your household and you want faster internet speeds.

Affordable WiFi Promos Post-Offer

The Pro 365 unlimited data access ends after a year; after which, you can subscribe to the following WoWFi Pro plans:

• Tier 1 - Unlimited Data for ₱490, valid for 15 days
• Tier 2 - Unlimited Data for ₱790, valid for 30 days

Compared to other wireless broadband data plans for the same validity period, these ones from DITO cost no more than ₱35 a day. Other plans can cost ₱1,500 a month for unlimited data access, and a range of ₱1,000 to ₱2,500 for capped plans, which are far from the value DITO’s WoWFi plans offer.

DITO Subscriber Perks

Buying a Pro 365 means you are eligible for DITO subscriber perks. The key here is to download the DITO App and update your information to gain reward points. Other ways to rack up reward points include reloading or buying mobile load in the app, or participating in limited-time offers. The points you earn can be used to purchase raffle tickets for seasonal raffle promos that the carrier often runs for its subscribers. Prizes for these raffle promos usually include a brand-new car or motorcycle, as well as travel packages!

Pro 365 Caveats To Consider and When To Upgrade to Higher-Tiered WiFi

You will be making a generally good decision by opting for a WoWFi Pro 365 if you meet the following criteria:

Best for Light to Moderate Usage

Your usage habit is a deciding factor in buying the WoWFi Pro 365, as the kit is ideal for light to moderate internet use. This means you can typically do the following with the modem:

• Low-bandwidth tasks such as updating online worksheets, communicating with co-workers via messaging apps, researching on Google, streaming music, or browsing social media apps
• High-bandwidth tasks in moderation, such as streaming shows and movies for a few hours once a week, joining video conferences for up to 30 minutes, playing online games occasionally, or uploading small files to a cloud drive as needed

Best in 5G Coverage Areas

You can only maximize the DITO Pro 365’s performance if you’re in a 5G coverage area, as it uses the next-generation cellular technology. It’s ideal that your home, where you’ll be using the modem, is surrounded by few or no sources of interference (such as other buildings or trees) so your signal remains as stable as possible. 

Best for Users Who Prefer Prepaid

Using prepaid most likely stems from your desire to maximize your budget. Surely, the WoWFi Pro 365 can accommodate that with its one-time purchase offer and low-cost breakdown! After the offer, you can keep using prepaid data plans, which let you control your WiFi expenses.

Conclusion

Checking the sticker price alone is not enough to determine whether your wireless modem provides the best value for your money. Assessing the cost breakdown of the modem and the WiFi plans, and confirming whether the home WiFi kit will work in your area, are also equally important. 

The good news is that, for its price, the DITO WoWFi Pro 365 provides significant value for users, especially if you and your family tend to use the internet lightly to moderately, are located in a 5G coverage area, and prefer prepaid options.
