The Ookla® Speedtest Award™ by Ookla®, the global leader in mobile and broadband network intelligence, testing applications, and related technologies, utilizes extensive in-depth analysis of consumer-initiated tests taken with Speedtest, to determine the fastest and most consistent fixed network providers. The ICT company’s victory is backed by impressive statistics:

  • Unmatched Speed: Converge achieved a speed score of 147.77, with superior top download speeds of 603.46 Mbps and top upload speeds of 552.21 Mbps, exceeding its previous year performance.
  • Exceptional Consistency: The company maintained the most consistent high-speed performance in most areas across its network for the second year in a row.
  • Best-in-Class Latency: Converge achieved the best latency time at 11.35 millisecond for fixed networks, ensuring a seamless online experience for users

Converge Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Benjamin Azada, highlighted the company’s holistic approach: “This achievement is a direct result of our continuous network enhancements and product innovations. We’re not just chasing numbers and recognition; our goal is to offer fast, reliable, and tailor-fit products for different market segments, ensuring that every Filipino has access to world-class internet.”

Speed upgrades like Boost Mode exemplify the company’s commitment to tailoring services to customer needs. This initiative allowed users to have boosted speed while keeping the same monthly recurring fee, perfect for bandwidth-intensive activities or crucial online events.

Converge has also expanded its service to budget-conscious markets, launching Surf2Sawa, the Philippines’ first prepaid fiber internet service where subscribers have the freedom of unlimited yet affordable internet. The company also introduced BIDA Fiber, the most budget-friendly postpaid plan available for consumers who require fast internet without compromising affordability.

Recently, Converge unveiled its new contract-free FiberX plans, designed to cater primarily to consumers residing in condominiums. The No-Contract Term plan will enable new customers to swiftly benefit from the provider’s signature high-speed, unlimited, and economical pure fiber internet connectivity with minimal effort.

Looking ahead, the company is poised for even greater achievements. “We’re investing heavily in expanding our network reach with international cable system investments and introducing and employing cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence and large-scale capacity optical networking technology for hyperscale applications,” revealed Converge Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer Jesus C. Romero. “We’re working hard in the backend and frontend so we can create amazing digital experiences for every Converge customer.”

As the company continues to push boundaries and set new standards, it remains committed to its vision of a fully connected Philippines, where high-speed internet is not a luxury, but a fundamental right, and where amazing customer experience is the benchmark of service and commitment.
