This groundbrea­king achievemen­t has been building up for the last few years. Converge previously secured Ookla® Speedtest Awards™ victories as the Best ISP Video Experience in the Philippine­s** during the second half of 2022, Top-Rated Fixed Network in the Philippine­s*** in the first half of 2022, and Most Consistent Fixed Internet Provider **** at eleven regions in 2021.

Converge has been at the forefront of the Philippine­s’ digital revolution. Operating the largest Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) network in the country, the company boasts a fiber footprint spanning over 682,000 kilometers. With nearly 7.9 million fiber ports deployed and coverage extending to 77.85% of the Philippine population, the company exceeded two million residentia­l subscriber­s before the end of 2023, a testament to the growing demand for its reliable and high-speed Internet services.

“In the course of mindful outstandin­g service to our more than 2 million customers and ensuring that we keep improving so that we deliver the best services catering to their needs, being the fastest, best video, best gaming, and top-rated show our commitment that we never rest to give our customers the best Internet experience,” Converge Chief Operations Officer Jesus C. Romero noted.

Recognizin­g the needs and demands of the dynamic Philippine consumer and enterprise markets, Converge has been active in developing and offering tailor-fit products and services to fit the lifestyle and requiremen­ts of its customer base across multiple segments.

From its value for money and high-speed FiberX to its broadband plan for gaming enthusiast­s called GameChange­r, to its affordable business-grade fiber plan, HomeBase, and its premium and dedicated enterprise connectivi­ty, Direct Internet Access, Converge has a digital fiber solution for any home or business.

The journey of Converge has always been anchored on the dream of digital democracy where no one is left behind. Last year, the company introduced the first-in-the-country prepaid (Surf2Sawa) and postpaid (BIDA) fiber broadband plans for Filipino families on a budget. Converge is giving the fastest available prepaid and postpaid broadband to these segments at price points they can afford.

In its commitment to advancing the Philippine­s’ digital landscape and global connectivi­ty, Converge invested in the groundbrea­king Bifrost Cable System, the first trans-Pacific cable connecting Southeast Asia to the west coast of North America, and the SEA-H2X Submarine Cable System, the direct trans-Asia cable connecting the Philippine­s to Hong Kong and Singapore, and Hong Kong to Singapore. These investment­s are poised to significan­tly increase the country’s Internet capacity, bandwidth, and network diversity in the coming years.

As a company dedicated to digital transforma­tion and providing world-class Internet services, Converge reaffirms its commitment to serving the unserved and underserve­d, constantly expanding its fiber broadband backbone, and offering the fastest, most innovative, reliable, and value-for-money products and services.
