Fiber broadband provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. has doubled its fiber footprint in the Visayas and Mindanao in July as compared to 2021.
Converge said it has laid down more than 600,000 fiber ports in central and southern Philippines in the first seven months of the year.
“This means that we have nearly doubled our fiber footprint in the Visayas and Mindanao regions in just seven months from the 300,000 ports rolled out as of end-2021,” Dennis Anthony Uy, Converge chief executive officer, said in a statement.
VisMin is increasingly becoming a vital growth area for Converge as it accounted for nearly 20 percent of the total gross subscriber adds in the second quarter of 2022.
“For 2022, we’ve focused our efforts on expanding our presence in Visayas and Mindanao as these remain to be underserved and are untapped markets for us. There is still a lot of room to grow in these two regions. That’s why we’ve sped up the rollout of ports in VisMin cities, and we are doubling down on reaching these eager customers,” said Jesus Romero, Converge chief operations officer. –Myla Iglesias
