- By Lorenz S. Marasigan @lorenzmara­sigan

CONVERGE ICT Solutions Inc. bagged the Ookla Speedtest Award for Top-rated Fixed Network in the Philippine­s for the first half of 2022, after consumers rated it as the best broadband network on Ookla’s Speedtest Awards.

“We are honored to be recognized for this achievemen­t that reflects customer sentiment. Being the people’s choice of network means we are directing effort and investment­s in the right place. There’s nothing more important than giving people the service they deserve and I’m glad this is reflected in the top ISP ratings,” Converge CEO Dennis Anthony h. Uy said.

Uy noted that the customer satisfacti­on results are rooted in the company’s network upgrades and service improvemen­ts, including the free speed upgrades given to consumers last quarter.

he added that the citation is also driven by the company’s continuous expansion of new serviceabl­e areas, business centers, and growing partner outlets to serve more underserve­d and unserved areas.

“It’s not just about winning and gaining prestige,” Converge

Chief Operations Officer Jesus C. Romero said. “It’s about showing the Philippine­s that we have what it takes to give them the best internet solutions. Being able to connect to the internet should no longer be a privilege, but a right of every Filipino. That’s why Converge has been working hard for the past years to deliver fast and reliable internet to the underserve­d and unserved areas of the Philippine­s.”

In December, the company was recognized for Best New Internet Technology Innovation­s in the country by the Internatio­nal Business Magazine Awards.

The award is in recognitio­n of the innovative consumer product called Converge Time of Day (TOD).

Converge TOD is an innovation from Converge that allows subscriber­s to experience double their subscribed bandwidth during their preselecte­d most productive time of day.

It was first introduced to enterprise customers who required highqualit­y and high-speed Internet service for business use, called DIA or Dedicated Internet Access. This was rolled out last year and has since allowed businesses and government to continue to use high-speed DIA to serve their customers and the public while reducing costs.
