PLDT to charge for data transmission via its landlines

[chken]

---

PLDT has said it will start charging fees for data transmission using its basic telephone landlines. Through what it calls the alternate voice data line (AVD), subscribers who use the same basic telephone line for voice calls and data transmission will be required to connect a special data or voice access device to the basic telephone line.

PLDT said it will charge a monthly service fee of P300, which also covers VAT, for the basic AVD service.

An additional fee of P50 to P500 will be added to the charge for connecting an AVD device for residential use and P100 to P1,000 for business use. Other charges will be added for additional services that will use the same line.
