  "account": "Smart Communications Inc. has introduced a limited-time discount on its 5G Home WiFi plan, making high-speed connectivity more affordable for households. The Smart 5G Max Home WiFi, powered by the company's extensive 5G network, is now available for just P2,995, down from its original price of P4,990. The device boasts impressive capabilities, offering speeds of up to 600Mbps, support for up to 40 devices, and free unlimited data for the first 15 days. As a full-capability 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) solution, it delivers fast broadband connectivity to areas lacking traditional fiber infrastructure. With the plug-and-play router, customers can easily set up the device, insert the included SIM, and connect their devices without any installation required. After the initial free data period, customers can reload with UNLI 1299, granting unlimited data for 30 days. Smart's expansion in 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) aligns with global trends, aiming to extend high-speed broadband to more households, especially in regions with limited fixed-line infrastructure. As more Filipinos adopt 5G-enabled devices, Smart is playing a crucial role in driving this technology forward, providing more Filipinos with access to high-speed broadband and the digital experiences it enables. According to Lloyd Manaloto, FVP and OIC for Smart, the 5G Max Home WiFi brings the full capabilities of Smart's network into the home, offering a powerful and flexible broadband solution for various digital needs. As of June 2026, the number of 5G-capable devices on Smart's network has increased by 30%, reaching 12.5 million, or 21% of all individual devices on the network. Smart remains committed to investing in its nationwide network to meet the growing demand for high-quality digital experiences.",
