Wireless broadband is the next option for Filipino households that need a fast and affordable internet connection. Such internet plans, including DITO Telecommunity's high-speed prepaid options, are less pricey than fiber broadband and more stable than other mobile data plans. They also come in multiple pricing options, making them perfect for budget-conscious homes.
Read on to learn about what DITO has to offer when it comes to high-speed internet plans!
DITO's prepaid internet plans are meant for home use and feature high-speed 4G or 5G connectivity. To use any of the plans, you should buy one of DITO's fixed wireless starter kits, which is available at P4,990 and P980. The kit includes a modem, SIM, and open-access data usable within 30 months from the activation date.
There's also the more affordable 5G option called Home WOWFi, which includes a P1,990 modem and allows for up to 100 Mbps download speed.
Afterward, you can purchase a data plan compatible with your chosen kit. You can pick from multiple options to accommodate your monthly data needs and available budget:
5G technology is gradually gaining popularity due to its speed and reliability. As such, DITO offers a prepaid 5G home WiFi plan with unlimited data access. This option is perfect for users who perform data-heavy tasks such as uploading and downloading videos, streaming films and TV shows, and working from home. It's also ideal for big households whose family members simultaneously use the internet.
Some users might not be using the internet as frequently as other households. To cater to these users, DITO also offers a 5G prepaid high-speed home internet plan with a 100 GB all-access data cap valid for 30 days. This option is practical if you're not using the internet as heavily as other subscribers — for instance, if only one of your kids is attending online classes and you're just browsing social media most of the time.
To determine if this plan suits you, record your average data usage for a few months. If it doesn't exceed 100GB, you might be better off buying a data-capped plan. It's half the price of unlimited data access, too, allowing you to save more.
Users of DITO's 4G prepaid high-speed internet kits get 70 GB 4G data access, including a modem and a SIM. Once that is all used up, you have the option to load 30 GB of data access for seven days or 50 GB for 30 days.
This option is perfect if you're a new DITO subscriber still testing the waters. It's also a practical choice if you're in a location that isn't 5G-ready yet.
So, what's the difference between DITO's regular home prepaid plan and the starter kit? To differentiate, we can look at it through price tiers, from the highest to the lowest.
Naturally, the 5G option is priced the highest because it uses the latest technology. Two 5G prepaid plans, specifically, are available:
Technically, both of the mentioned products are called starter kits. However, the "starter" vibe is most closely associated with the least expensive of the plans, which is the 4G option. The kit is priced at P980 and comes with 70 GB of 4G data access upon activation.
However, because it's a starter kit, the 4G plan's features are limited compared to the 5G options. For instance, loading options for the starter kit do not include unlimited data access, making it only really useful for households who do not entirely rely on internet connectivity to work, study, or engage in recreational activities.
DITO's prepaid home internet plans come with a data rollover feature. That means if you haven't used up the allocated data for the period, the unused data will carry over to your next loading.
Note that this offer only applies to load plans with a data cap. If you're buying the regular 5G kit, the data rollover is applied to the 30-day P590 load. If you're using the 4G kit, you can carry over unused data for both the seven- and 30-day load options.
DITO's prepaid internet plans, regardless of speed and connectivity technology, come with a modem, a DITO SIM, and data you can readily use upon activation. To review, here's a table of the following plans and what they include:
|
Plan |
Inclusions |
|
5G Home Prepaid WiFi |
- Modem and SIM - 25 GB open-access data, valid for 30 days |
|
Home WOWFi |
- Modem and SIM - Unlimited 5G data and 50 GB 4G data, valid for 30 days |
|
WiFi Prepaid Starter Kit |
- Modem and SIM - 70 GB all-access data, valid for 30 days |
Meanwhile, the reloading options vary depending on the home WiFi you choose to purchase. Here is some advice: you can easily load your modem through the DITO App, where the options are listed properly. This can help you avoid confusion when you're reloading for data access.
If your data runs out before the 30-day validity period ends, you can simply buy another load promo through the DITO app. Running out of data before the set period can also serve as a reference to reconsider your loading options. It can make you realize that perhaps your data usage has increased or that more users are consuming your data allocation, enabling you to reassess your plans.
Doing that may mean purchasing a higher data allocation or an unlimited data plan. These options may be slightly more expensive, but at least you won't run out of data access and risk interruptions during crucial online tasks.
High-speed prepaid internet plans offer a balance between convenient access and affordability, making it the perfect go-to for internet users on a budget. Understanding this need, DITO Telecommunity provides various options for prepaid internet users to accommodate their data needs and budget capacities. It also offers 4G and 5G connectivity to ensure fast and no-lag internet browsing.
