“This speed increase is the outcome of PLDT’s continuing investment in achieving superior connectivity to help grow the small and medium enterprise sector. We harnessed the latest technology to help connect SMEs better and faster to their suppliers, customers and global counterparts,” said PLDT SME Nation VP and Head, Katrina Luna-Abelarde.

The six different packages also feature value added services that include a security solutions suite for anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall and fraud protection; and an online office suite with domain name registration and e-mail hosting where free e-mail addresses with their choice of domain will be provided to all myDSL Biz subscribers.

Slow and unsecured Internet connectivity affects the performance of a growing enterprise by causing delay and giving an unprofessional image to the business. On the other hand, the new high-speed myDSL Biz promises to reduce costs by enabling the enterprise to use e-mails and social networking sites as effective communications tools, increase efficiency by integrating high-speed Internet with committed information rates, and broaden its market reach and revenues by helping increase sales through faster and efficient communications with clients and partners anywhere in the world.

Some of the subscribers of myDSL Biz have posted sales increases as much as 40 per cent, monthly telecoms expense savings of 30 per cent by using e-mail and social networking sites for promos, and P240,000.00 annual savings on hand-delivered mails by connecting their various store branches.

“This is PLDT’s way of supporting SMEs to make their business prosper, knowing that they comprise a big percentage of the country’s gross domestic product. It is PLDT myDSL Biz’s vision to arm them with the right tools, knowledge and hardware to help them reach their full market potential,” Abelarde concluded.

PLDT myDSL Biz is ideal for SMEs and networked offices such is schools, colleges and universities; cargo, freight and shipping companies; government agencies and municipalities; cafes and restaurants; and other industry sectors.
