Well our town telephone company was bought by PLDT. They are now slowly merging and they are also offering the plan with fiber-optics to all the SITELCO (our town telephone company before) so most will be having the fiber-optics lines.
Since I already had a PLDT line before with internet I was also offered by the city company to change. There are a few of us with PLDT lines already, applied in the city, because of the internet so of course we are changing to fiber-optics, free no extra charge. Later we can transfer our Cable subscription (Cignal) so there will only be 1 billing.
They said the difference is that fiber-optics are fine glass wires, finer than the human hair where the light passes more quickly. It is also said to be more stable that when it rains or winds are strong it won't affect our internet and even the cable on TV. I might transfer soon, maybe next month.
Well the router is bigger and looks easier. They attached the new lines last week and is now activated. Will be monitoring and see if it is faster and more stable.
Same price so it was ok. Maybe it will make my #steemit journey faster and easier. I will be canceling my local telephone connection next week among the other unnecessary lines.
A few friends say it is better. I will be monitoring it and see. I just started it yesterday.
