The scheduled decommissioning of about 185 telecom towers was completed by the end of July 2022. This follows the tower sale announced by the company early this year. It announced a sale and leaseback arrangement of 5,907 telecom towers to further invest and improve network operations.
PLDT remains the only telco provider in the Philippines that can deliver up to 10,000 Mbps fiber-optic service. The fiber network connects the nationwide wireless LTE and 5G network of PLDT and Smart and provides LTE and 5G coverage to customers from Batanes to Tawi-tawi.
