DITO Telecommunity, the Philippines’ third major telco, is making a bold play for your home internet with its new DITO Home WOWFI Prepaid service. This isn’t a fiber-based offering; DITO’s betting big on 5G — and affordability.

However, this isn’t your average mobile hotspot either. We’re talking a dedicated 4G/5G modem promising up to 100Mbps downloads, all without the commitment of a contract with a lock-in period. For a mere P490 (about $9), you get a hefty 80GB of 5G data plus 30GB of 4G to keep you going for 30 days. Need unlimited 5G? You can subscribe to the P790 ($14) package, and this comes with a 50GB 4G bonus thrown in for good measure.

But wait, it gets better! DITO’s sweetening the deal with a P190 ($4) monthly rebate for 10 months if you opt for the unlimited plan. The rebate will automatically be deducted as you top up in the DITO app. That brings the effective price down to P600 ($10) — a tempting proposition for budget-conscious users who are after decent download speeds.

This promotion underscores DITO’s commitment to providing accessible and affordable 5G services to the Philippine market. By lowering the barrier to entry for unlimited 5G home internet, DITO aims to attract a wider customer base and solidify its position as a major player in the domestic telecommunications landscape.

Of course, there’s the usual fine print. DITO quotes an average speed of 55Mbps, while the minimum speed is 10Mbps at 80% reliability for its WOWFI Prepaid service. Take note that your mileage may vary depending on network conditions and location. Speaking of location, you’ll need to be within DITO’s expanding 5G coverage zone to unlock those blazing-fast speeds.

To get started with WOWFI Prepaid, you’ll need DITO’s 5G Starter Kit, which includes the modem, a SIM card, and a month of unlimited data for P1,990 ($35). After that, it’s all prepaid freedom. No contracts, no hidden fees — just pure, unadulterated 5G internet access — where available, of course.

According to its official website, DITO’s 5G network is currently live in:

• Metro Manila
• Bacolod City
• Batangas City
• Cebu City
• Cavite City
• Davao City
• Select areas in Laguna
• Mandaue City

The company is aggressively expanding its 5G footprint, so keep an eye on its website and social media accounts for updates.
