Fiber internet service provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. said the company’s fiber footprint has reached nearly 600,000 kilometers as of end September, consisting of its subsea, aerial and terrestrial fiber optic cable network that covers the northernmost tip in Luzon to islands in the Visayas and Mindanao.
Converge also reported to have installed over 1.7 million fiber ports across the country during the period, including augmentation in existing coverage areas and expansion to new cities and municipalities.
“Fulfilling our commitment to reach the unserved and underserved, we are continuously expanding and strengthening our fiber network to serve the strong demand for reliable and accessible internet. We are glad that we are on track to achieve our targets for 2022, and for the final quarter of the year, we are looking forward to more promising developments in terms of our fiber rollout,” said Dennis Anthony Uy, Converge chief executive officer and co-founder.
In July, Converge was named as the top-rated fixed network in Ookla’s Speedtest awards for the first to second quarter of the year. The award is based on user ratings, thereby reflecting the majority of Filipino customers’ preference and sentiment.
Converge has expanded its coverage to more than 13.5 million homes as of June 2022, which makes it one of the country’s most advanced and extensive cable systems despite being the youngest.
