For many families, moving into a new home can be a mixture of excitement and stress. From unpacking boxes to arranging furniture, there’s always something to do.

You also have to set up utilities, especially a reliable internet connection, one of the most essential elements of modern living.

Nikki Ignacio, a preschool teacher, and her husband, Raymond, are thankful subscription-free, commercial-grade fiber internet was ready from day one when they moved into their new home in Prisma Residences in 2022, a ready-for-occupancy condominium by DMCI Homes along Pasig Boulevard, corner C.P. Garcia Avenue.

She was happy about the location’s convenience—close to her work in Ortigas—but what pleasantly surprised her even more was finding out that the Community Internet was part of the living experience, giving her family instant access to reliable connection the moment they moved in.

“Moving into a new home can be stressful, with so many things to set up and adjust to. Having the internet ready from day one was such a huge help. We didn’t need to schedule an installation or wait days to be connected—it was just there, ready for us to use. That made the transition into our new home feel so much more comfortable,” Nikki says.

“When DMCI Homes told us that Prisma already had internet available upon move-in, we were so happy. We didn’t even have to contact an internet provider. Having a ready and reliable internet connection at home is really a big deal for us.”

Prisma Residences’ location between Ortigas and BGC makes commuting easier, while family-friendly amenities like the Community Internet make life at home convenient and stress-free for Nikki and her husband, Raymond.

As a preschool teacher, the Community Internet is essential for Nikki’s work as preparing lessons, researching educational materials, and hosting online classes all require a stable connection.

“Stable internet is truly a lifesaver for me. I can research lesson ideas, download learning materials, and prepare presentations without any delays. During online classes, it makes a huge difference—there’s no lag or disconnection, so I can focus fully on my students,” Nikki says.

“Teaching young children requires energy and patience, so not having to worry about the internet allows me to give them my full time and attention. It helps me become a more effective teacher, even when teaching online. For example, during typhoons, when classes are shifted online, I really rely on the internet to continue teaching from home,” she explains.

Her husband also relies heavily on the internet for his work. Video calls, online collaboration, and file sharing are part of his daily routine. “If the internet is unstable, even a single interrupted meeting could affect his productivity or cause misunderstandings. Having reliable internet means he can do his work confidently, without worrying about getting disconnected in the middle of a meeting. It really gives him peace of mind and helps him stay efficient every day,” Nikki adds.

The benefits extend beyond work. With a one-year-old son, Riu, Nikki and her husband rely on online shopping for baby essentials, stream educational videos, and keep in touch with relatives—especially grandparents who want to see updates about the baby. Family movie nights on Netflix, YouTube learning videos, and social media connections all happen seamlessly thanks to the reliable internet.

Nikki’s heart is full—she’s finally found a place to call home for her family at Prisma Residences.

“Compared to the internet providers I used before moving to Prisma, I’d say the speed here is really good. Of course, if you want a faster plan with other providers, you’ll need to pay more—but with the community internet that DMCI and Prisma offer, the speed is just right for me,” Nikki reveals.

“As long as there’s a stable connection at home, my husband’s meetings run smoothly, and I can teach without any interruptions. Speed isn’t really my top priority; what matters is that the internet works well. And honestly, compared to the providers I used before, there’s no big difference at all—it performs just the same,” she adds.

Prisma Residences reflects DMCI Homes’ vision of providing a quality lifestyle that meets the evolving needs of residents. Its strategic location, family-focused design, built-in Community Internet, and responsive support create a convenient and connected living experience.

For families like the Ignacios, the Community Internet isn’t just a feature—it’s a vital part of making their condo a true home.

“I’d say Prisma is really designed for families. The convenience of moving in and already having reliable internet makes such a big difference, especially for parents like us,” Nikki beams.

“It’s not just about speed—it’s about peace of mind, knowing that your daily needs for work, communication, and family life are supported from the moment you settle in. For families who want a comfortable, connected, and family-friendly home, Prisma Residences is such a great choice.”
