Introduction

Mobile phone use, video streaming, and online gaming go hand in hand in the Philippines. About 82 million Filipinos are projected to own a smartphone in the country by 2029. And these phones? Many will use them to access streaming services and play mobile games. 

If you are here, you are likely on your way to using your smartphone predominantly to watch the latest trending series or grind levels on Mobile Legends. Also, you are likely looking at load plans that can accommodate your entertainment needs and have the speed, latency, and bandwidth streaming and gaming apps require. 

No worries, you can watch and play to your heart's content by subscribing to unlimited 5G surf promos in the Philippines. In this article by DITO Telecommunity, we'll explain why and when you should consider these plans and explore the real-life benefits of these subscriptions. 

Why and When To Opt for an Unlimited 5G Surf Promo

User preferences matter most when subscribing to an unlimited 5G surf promo in the Philippines. You may be the type to dislike constantly monitoring your data usage or paying for a plan now and then. If that's the case, opting for an unlimited plan is the best way to keep playing and watching without worrying about your balance. Of course, you still need to pay attention to the promo's expiry date and top up accordingly to stay connected.

Timing also plays a big role. Before you subscribe to an unlimited promo, make sure you have time to actually use the data; otherwise, paying for it will not be practical. Moreover, you should check if you are within a 5G coverage area so you can use the plan. If you're on the move, review whether your destinations have 5G infrastructure, so you can access your favorite apps uncapped at all times.

Benefits of Unlimited 5G Surf Promos on Real-Life Gamers and Streaming Subscribers

Unlimited 5G data access is generally a favorable thing for gamers and streaming subscribers. However, with app-specific 4G plans available that are more affordable, why opt for 5G? The answer lies in its superior speed, responsiveness, and performance. Gaming and streaming on 5G, even on mobile data, is a whole new and much more enhanced experience.

Gaming

Convenient Game Play

When you play games, you want to focus on winning, right? With a capped data plan, you cannot simply do that, as you will need to monitor your data usage regularly. An unli 5G promo gives you uninterrupted access for long hours of gaming without worrying about your balance. For example, you can subscribe to an unlimited plan valid for a month, meaning 30 days of smooth and lag-free play, without having to check your data consumption. Of course, you can only maximize this type of unlimited access if you are within a 5G coverage area, so check your location first before subscribing to the load promo.

Rich Game Visuals

In ideal conditions, a 5G connection can deliver up to 1,000 Mbps of internet speed. Now, you won't need that fast an online connection for gaming (usually 100 to 500 Mbps will do the job), but it is worth knowing the potential speeds of the network you're using. With that much speed, you can enjoy online games at high quality with bandwidth to spare, preventing buffering and lag that are the bane of gamers for so long. With the right setup, enough infrastructure, and an unlimited plan to access it, 5G can even enable you to play Virtual Reality (VR) games on your mobile device, providing a rich gaming experience.

Low-Latency Winning Advantage

Few things can be as frustrating as being in the middle of an intense battle, only for your game screen to flicker or stop moving for a few seconds. Next thing you know, your character is dead and the kingdom you're protecting is crumbling to dust. High latency, or a longer time for data to be transmitted to the game server and back, causes a delayed response to whatever actions you're trying to make to progress in a game. 

A 5G connection solves this issue by lowering latency; the technology's impressive speed and generous bandwidth make data transmission super fast. There will always be a delay in transmission, mind you, but with a stable 5G connection, the lag is imperceptible and won't affect your gameplay at all. Now, imagine having that kind of access for unlimited amounts? Guaranteed victory for you and your online gaming team.

For eSports Training

Professional gamers usually compete using a fixed connection to reduce the possibilities of lag, buffering, and other issues that can disrupt smooth gameplay. However, lately, 5G's phenomenal speed and low latency have shown that online gaming over mobile data is possible. If you are interested in joining a competition, you can start training with your favorite online game with a reliable 5G connection. 

Subscribing to an unlimited promo, in addition, allows you to play as much as you want so you can hone your skills and be well-equipped for competitive gaming. With 5G's continuous improvement and telcos offering 5G support for professional Filipino gamers, it's not far-fetched to predict that gaming using only 5G data can be useful for training and actual gaming competitions in the future.

Streaming

High Video Quality

Usually, you would associate 4K video streaming with a stable fiber optic or wireless broadband connection. 5G, however, is changing the game. With this type of connection, you can now access high-quality video streaming on your mobile phone in locations beyond your home or office, provided your device supports 5G and you are in a network coverage area. The possibilities of streaming on mobile devices mean Filipinos can access entertainment without downloading videos to watch later offline. This convenience is especially helpful for video platforms that don't offer download features, such as YouTube. 

Less Buffering

Due to its low latency, 5G can reduce lag and buffering when you're streaming a video. You can expect to feel less or no frustration at all when you're watching your favorite series or movie, since you won't have to worry about the screen suddenly loading in the middle of a climactic scene. Most users will give up exploring a website if it doesn't load within three seconds; the same can be assumed for streaming, where buffering is likely to make you skip a video or stop watching altogether. 5G speeds, conversely, will keep you tuned in.

Remote Entertainment

Imagine commuting and watching your favorite channel on the way with your mobile data. That would make the long travel less tedious, right? With an unlimited surf promo, you can access entertainment channels away from home. This convenience is available even before 5G. Still, the new technology certainly reduces the connectivity issues you might have encountered with 3G or 4G. Provided that you are in a 5G network area, you can expect fewer interruptions and more hours watching videos in high quality.

Fast Content Download

Sometimes, you may still need to download a video for later viewing. For instance, if you want to catch up on your favorite series while on board a plane. If you forgot to download the series at home, a 5G connection will be fast enough and have sufficient bandwidth for speedy downloads. You can download a 2 GB movie in 5-10 minutes over 4G; in 5G, the download time will be down to 30 seconds. That means more downloads and more videos to watch offline!
