Your internet could soon get slower with PLDT’s 5-day emergency maintenance

Just what we needed

In case you’re already complaining of slow Wi-Fi, PLDT Inc. has announced that it will conduct a 5-day ‘emergency maintenance’ from September 25, 8:00 AM to September 30, 5:00 AM.

The maintenance activities root from the submarine cables from the international cable system, Asia-America Gateway (AAG). Due to the 5-day maintenance, the company shared that PLDT and Smart Communications customers could experience ‘degraded internet connectivity during peak hours.’

‘These measures will allow PLDT and Smart to fully serve, during this time, all customers at full capacity by using the spare and additional capacities on all other cable systems that support PLDT and Smart’s operations,’ PLDT shared in an advisory.

‘Should there be internet traffic spike beyond the traffic of the past weeks, some slowing down in the busiest hours for traffic going to Asia may be experienced, but no service will be denied, and internet traffic within the Philippines and to the US will not be impacted.’

The announcement comes in the thick of work-from-home and online class setups, with the pvblic expressing concern that it could impact their daily necessary activities.
