SkyCable vice president for marketing Rodrigo Montinola said the company uses cable lines with higher bandwidth that can carry more data.
Formerly known as ZPDee Cable Internet, Sky Broadband can provide up to 12 megabits per second (mbps), four times faster than that provided by residential digital subscriber line (DSL).
Montinola said Sky Broadband is initially available to Las Piñas, Makati, Mandaluyong, Manila, Muntinlupa, Pasig, Paranaque, Pasay, Quezon City, San Juan and Taguig residential subscribers.
The SkyCable executive added that the company is looking at expanding its Internet broadband service outside Metro Manila.
SkyCable earlier announced it is spending around P600 million this year to convert more coverage areas from analog to digital-ready, install additional digital set-top boxes and offer new cable television services.
The amount will be sourced from internally generated funds, company officials revealed.
