PT&T Partners with NetLinkz to Bring Starlink Services in the Philippines

PT&T, a renowned Philippine telecommunications company, has joined forces with NetLinkz, an Australian tech solution firm, to bring SpaceX's Starlink service to Filipino consumers this year. This strategic partnership aims to provide stable and high-speed internet access to businesses and individuals in remote areas, unlocking a world of possibilities in the digital realm.

Starlink, powered by low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite technology, offers broadband connectivity in underserved regions. Through the PT&T-NetLinkz collaboration, Filipinos residing in areas where traditional broadband services are limited or unavailable can now access reliable and affordable internet solutions.

"We are thrilled to introduce Starlink to the Philippines, offering our customers the connectivity they need with a dependable internet solution," expressed James G. Velasquez, President and CEO of PT&T. "Our partnership with NetLinkz enables us to provide high-speed internet access to underserved regions, empowering individuals and businesses alike."

One of the significant advantages of Starlink services, as provided by NetLinkz through the PT&T partnership, is the potential for reduced internet connection costs in remote areas. While the final pricing has yet to be determined, Miguel Marco, EVP and COO of PT&T, assured the public that it would be competitive.

The official launch of the Starlink service in collaboration with PT&T is anticipated in mid-July. Interested customers in the Philippines can obtain Starlink kits directly from PT&T. Monthly plans are available, with data caps ranging from 50 gigabytes to 6 terabytes. These plans offer peak download speeds of up to 350 megabytes per second (Mbps) and upload speeds of up to 40 Mbps.

"We are proud to partner with PT&T to bring Starlink to the Philippines," stated James Tsiolis, Managing Director and CEO of NetLinkz. "This collaboration aligns with our mission to provide innovative and secure network solutions. We are excited to contribute to the digital transformation of the country, empowering Filipinos with advanced internet capabilities."

With this collaboration, PT&T and NetLinkz aim to bridge the digital divide in the Philippines, ensuring that even remote areas have access to fast and reliable internet connections. The introduction of Starlink services in the country marks a significant step towards a more inclusive and digitally empowered society.
