Online classes and home-based businesses that use the Internet can operate as "normal" even during PLDT's scheduled maintenance, which was also shortened compared to an earlier advisory, the telco said late Thursday.
It will start at 9 a.m. on September 26, Saturday, instead of 8 a.m. Friday. It will end by 5 a.m. on September 30, Wednesday, PLDT said. Alternatives have been found for the undersea cable that will undergo maintenance work during the said period, the company said.
"We wish to assure PLDT and Smart customers of continued Internet connectivity all throughout," PLDT said
"Students can still do their online studies and exams and users in homes and businesses can go about their normal Internet-based activities during this time," it said.
Meanwhile, SKY Cable released an advisory this morning, September 25, informing SKY subscribers that the emergency maintenance activities for the Asia-America Gateway would not affect SKYFiber and SKY Cable subscribers.
