What is XG-PON tech?

XG-PON commonly known as 10G-PON is the computer networking standard developed in 2010, which is rated for up to 10 Gbit/s downstream speed and 2.5 Gbit/s for upstream. So, downloading a 4K video, streaming content, or live streaming can be done faster than traditional GPON tech with just 2.4 Gbps speed.

Named as the Premium FTTH 1 Gbps and Premium FTTH 500Mbps, you get unlimited voice calls to on-net network (NTC to NTC) for one year on both schemes. Users can also avail of 500 minutes of talk time to other networks on the former and 350 minutes on the latter. Talking of the daily data limit, the 1Gbps package gets you 1TB while the 500Mbps offers 0.5TB data every day.
