DITO WowFi and the Power of Standalone 5G
In the fast-paced world of home internet, DITO Telecommunity is making waves with a bold proposition: its new WowFi fixed wireless broadband isn't just an alternative to fiber—it’s a superior choice. DITO claims its service offers better reliability, faster speeds, and lower latency than its rivals, Smart and Globe. But what's the secret behind these claims? The answer lies in the technology powering it: standalone (SA) 5G.
The Standalone 5G Advantage
While competitors like Smart and Globe initially rolled out their 5G networks using non-standalone (NSA) technology, which piggybacks on existing 4G infrastructure, DITO took a different approach. Its network is built on pure, standalone 5G technology from the ground up, independent of older 4G networks.
This is a critical distinction. The reliance on 4G in NSA networks can create bottlenecks, impacting speeds and latency, especially during peak hours. DITO's SA 5G, on the other hand, is a true next-generation network designed for higher capacity and lower latency. The result, according to DITO, is a smoother, more consistent online experience for everything from streaming and gaming to Browse and remote work.
Plans for Every Household
DITO is also challenging the market with its aggressively priced WowFi plans, designed to fit a variety of user needs:
WowFi Lite: For just Php 480 for 30 days, this plan offers 50GB of 5G data. It's an ideal, budget-friendly option for households with light internet usage, perfect for Browse social media and occasional streaming.
WowFi Pro: Priced at Php 790 per month, this plan provides unlimited 5G data at speeds up to 100Mbps, with a 50GB 4G data fallback. It’s a great middle-ground for families with moderate streaming and gaming needs, offering both speed and peace of mind.
WowFi Optima: The top-tier postpaid plan, WowFi Optima is for power users. For Php 1,490 a month, it delivers unlimited 5G data with speeds up to 500Mbps. This plan is designed for data-intensive tasks like 4K streaming, online gaming, and running a smart home with multiple connected devices.
The Real-World Test
While the advantages of standalone 5G are clear on paper, the true measure of DITO's WowFi service will be its real-world performance. Factors like network coverage, tower density, and user load will all play a part in the actual user experience. But with its bold technological approach and competitive pricing, DITO is positioning itself as a serious contender in the home internet market.
