THE Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) is investing P544 million to boost the capacity of its 90,000-kilometer domestic fiber optic network (DFON) by 520 Gigabits per second , which will raise its DFON footprint by 13 percent to 4.6 terabits per second upon the expansion project’s completion in the first quarter of 2015.

“We are undertaking this project because our broadband subscriber base is growing in all market segments --among individual or home customers in both fixed and mobile businesses, as well as in the large and small enterprise segments,” said Napoleon Nazareno, PLDT president and chief executive officer.
