Fiber internet provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. has delivered the most consistent fixed internet service in all eight regions where it has presence, including Metro Manila, for the third consecutive quarter this year, according to global internet testing and analysis leader Ookla.
Based on the recent Ookla Speedtest Intelligence data for the third quarter of 2021, Converge provided the most consistent high-speed broadband in Metro Manila, Central Luzon, Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon), Ilocos, Bicol, Cordillera Administrative Region, Central Visayas and Davao — the same areas where Converge currently operates.
Ookla noted Converge’s average internet download speed for the major regions: 81.76 megabits per second (Mbps) in Metro Manila, 80.36 Mbps in Calabarzon, 65.47 Mbps in Bicol, 62.66 Mbps in Davao and 79.54 Mbps in Central Visayas.
In the third quarter of 2021, Converge garnered a consistency score of 82.13 percent. This marks a steady improvement in consistency, starting off from 72.8 percent in the first quarter to 79.5 percent in the second quarter.
Consistency score measures the percentage of a provider’s samples that equals or exceeds a fixed threshold of 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload.
For the third quarter, Converge also has an average latency rate of 8ms and jitter rate of 19ms. The Philippines has an average latency rate of 20ms for the third quarter.
“We take it to heart to deliver the reliable connectivity that Filipinos deserve and being recognized by a credible entity such as Ookla, confirms our hard work while we continuously expand the network and consistently provide world-class internet connectivity to more areas nationwide,” said Jesus Romero, Converge chief operations officer.
