On the heels of a third consecutive Ookla® Speedtest Award™ for Fastest Fixed Network, Converge ICT Solutions Inc. spearheads a seamlessly integrated digital home with its new and improved internet offering called Super FiberX.

Building upon the proven success of its flagship FiberX service, which has consistently dominated the market for its speed and value since its 2017 relaunch, Super FiberX introduces a powerful upgrade: seamless WiFi-6 connectivity and access to SkyTV, all powered by the innovative Converge Xperience Hub.

Optimized to meet the evolving connectivity needs of Filipinos, Super FiberX MAX at P1,599 combines fiber-fast internet speeds of up to 400 Mbps that, along with the Converge Xperience Hub, transforms every home into a high-performance digital playground for entertainment, work, and everyday digital needs. The Super FiberX Plans seamlessly integrate high-speed internet, live TV, and a multitude of streaming options, offering unparalleled value and convenience.

Play, Max, Ultra

As 2024’s Fastest Internet, Converge expands its already robust network solutions with the Super FiberX Plans, now featuring Wi-Fi 6 technology for faster, more reliable connectivity, even with multiple devices connected simultaneously, at no extra cost. 

“The Converge Xperience Hub, equipped with SkyTV (offering access to up to 54 channels), paves the way for future plans to expand and elevate our residential offerings," says Converge EVP & Chief Commercial Officer Benjamin B. Azada. "As a Google-certified Android TV box, it allows users to download popular apps like YouTube, Spotify, and Netflix, access games, and even utilize Google’s integrated assistant. Paired with a Blast TV subscription, it transforms regular TVs into Smart TVs, delivering an extensive entertainment lineup, from blockbuster movies and hit series to news and live sports.”

He adds, “Best of all, these amazing entertainment features come without compromising internet performance, as Super FiberX Plans provide speeds of up to 200 Mbps to 800 Mbps, covering everything from browsing and gaming to 4K streaming and remote work.”

Starting at an unbeatable price of just P1,349, the Super FiberX PLAY plan delivers internet speeds of up to 200 Mbps providing accessible fiber-fast connectivity tailored to the everyday digital needs of Filipinos.

Whether working, streaming, or staying connected, Super FiberX is the cornerstone for a seamlessly integrated digital home.

Upgraded to Wi-Fi 6 Technology

Converge FiberX Boost Mode: Gigabit Internet, Lowest Prices in the Philippines

On the heels of the recently announced collaboration between Converge ICT Solutions Inc. and Netflix, Converge continues to build on its culture of service by making Boost Mode a permanent offering now accessible to all.

Boost Mode was initially launched to celebrate our back-to-back Ookla® Speedtest Awards for 2023 Q3-Q4 and 2024 Q1-Q2. This limited-time offer provided a free automatic speed boost of an additional 100 Mbps for all FiberX plans. Boost Mode permanency introduces Wi-Fi 6 capabilities to FiberX plans starting from P1,699 and is the latest of Converge’s efforts to provide a better and more reliable internet experience.

The Gigabit Life

Gigabit life has never been this accessible, starting with FiberX Plan 3500, the first accessible gigabit fixed broadband plan in the Philippines. New subscribers can enjoy speeds up to 1 Gbps powered by the fastest, most reliable internet and XCLSV (VIP) benefits for only P3,500/month, down by more than half from P7,499.

For a more value option, Time of Day 3000 Plan offers high speeds during key hours for gaming, streaming, and working, while still providing solid performance during off-peak times. As it stands, it is one of the most unique and flexible fiber internet plans with the top-end feature (P3,000/month) providing users with up to 700 Mbps that spikes up to 1 Gbps during your chosen peak hours, whether at night or during the day.

Deploying gigabit plans accessible to the greater public is the culmination of Converge’s vision of a connected future. Giving precedence to network scalability and sustainability from day one has helped Converge establish technical superiority. This has allowed Converge to provide tailor-fit offerings particularly recognizing gamers as an essential part of a rapidly evolving market and a driving force in shaping the future of the “digital life”. 

For these passionate gamers, gaming transcends mere leisure; it embodies a lifestyle. Gamers are both explorers and creators of new worlds, a sentiment highly valued within the organization.

Shown in Converge’s partnership with top-level Esports teams like two-time world champions Falcons AP. Bren and MPL PH Season 14 Champions Fnatic Onic, the end-goal is to not only enhance the experience but also provide the means to dominate the competition. This goal extends to providing these same elite resources to Converge subscribers through The Game Changer Elite Bootcamp Plan. It is Converge’s answer to every gamer’s plight: low-ping, low-jitter and starting at only P5,000, this is the only internet plan specifically catering to competitive Esports teams. Whether it’s intense firefights or strategic plays, the squad gets unmatched connectivity and network prioritization for gaming apps, ensuring games stay responsive when the pressure’s on. With Up to 1 Gbps speeds backed by the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX 6000 gaming router, the whole team stays in the zone, fully connected, and ready to dominate—even with heavy traffic across multiple devices.

Culture of Service

Orange Ramirez, VP & Head of Marketing states, “Through Boost Mode, we at Converge reaffirm our commitment to serving the unserved and underserved. Beyond the clear benefits regarding value and performance, subscribers can expect to join an unrelenting effort to cultivate a culture of service, as demonstrated by our track record of delivering accessible, reliable, and tailor-fit connectivity to all Filipinos.”

“At Converge, our vision has always centered on giving amazing digital experiences.” Converge EVP & Chief Commercial Officer Benjamin B. Azada adds, “We want to not only continue providing customers with substantial speed increases but also reiterate our commitment to championing sustainability. By equipping subscribers with network devices that feature intelligent hibernation mechanisms, we can help save up to 41% in power consumption. Boost Mode is only the most recent step in Converge's vision of bridging the gap with the best in the world.”

Converge ICT Solutions Inc. is once again elevating connectivity in the country with the launch of Boost Mode permanency. By extending this gift—initially only available to existing subscribers—to everyone, the company aims to demonstrate that connectivity is not a luxury, it is a basic need that should be accessible to all, empowering every home’s digital life.

Flexible FiberX Plans by Converge ICT Solutions Inc. for Condominium Residents

Converge ICT Solutions Inc., the Philippines' leading fiber broadband provider, unveiled new contract-free FiberX plans. These offerings provide enhanced flexibility and convenience for condominium residents subscribing to the company's premier FiberX services.

The simplified application process, designed to cater primarily to consumers residing in multi-dwelling units (MDUs) such as condominiums, will allow new customers to quickly enjoy the internet service provider’s trademark high-speed, unlimited, and value-for-money end-to-end pure fiber connectivity without any hassle.

"Our no-contract FiberX plans represent a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering superior customer service experience,” said Converge Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Benjamin B. Azada. "We understand the diverse needs of our customers, including Filipinos and foreigners living or temporarily working in the Philippines, and these plans are tailored to offer seamless internet access without the typical constraints of long-term commitments and complex application and billing processes." 

“Living situations in the country have greatly evolved, with many preferring the comfort and convenience of condo-living. Our no-contract term plan is perfect for renters because we’ve removed the worry of their connectivity contract period not being in line with their rental contracts, giving them more freedom and flexibility,” adds Mr. Azada.

Converge has been offering the most diverse residential connectivity products in the country. Its flagship FiberX plans catapulted the company to the top of the list of choices for gamers, students, and home-based entrepreneurs. For as low as ₱1500 and with speeds of up to 1 Gbps, customers get to immediately enjoy connectivity plans that suit their interests, lifestyle, and living situation.

The new no-contract FiberX plan promises maximum flexibility, allowing customers to sign up for a 6- or 12-month short-term commitment with no credit checks or documentation needed. Customers will also avoid running the risk of late payments with the plan’s no billing feature, eliminating concerns about complex billing and credit issues. Moreover, customers get to benefit from additional savings by getting 12 months of subscription for the price of 11 months on select higher plans. The plan also features no termination or cancellation fees, providing subscribers with peace of mind.

Customers who opt for higher No-Contract FiberX Plans will be equipped with the latest Wi-Fi 6 modem free of charge. The ICT company has seen increased demand for better modems among its residential customers as streaming, gaming, and working online require higher bandwidth.

“As we continuously enhance our bandwidth speeds for our customers, we also ensure that our network devices can support these advancements,” affirms Converge Vice President and Brand & Marketing Head Orange Ramirez. “A lot of our customers experience WiFi issues despite having high-speed plans, often due to outdated devices. A WiFi-6 modem is a cost-effective and efficient solution that allows you to utilize your internet speed fully.”

Adds Converge Assistant Vice President-Head of Consumer Segment Marketing Sandra Zira Tubale Dingal, “The WiFi-6 has been a godsend for our subscribers who changed from their old modems due to its increased speed, coverage, and capacity, delivering three times greater performance even in dense environments. WiFi-6 modems are also green and energy-efficient, reducing power consumption by over 20% and helping households save money. These features, combined with our fast and reliable internet, make for an exceptional digital experience.”

Converge's dedication to delivering an amazing customer experience through innovative and customer-centric service offerings remains intact with these no-contract FiberX plans. Whether for personal or professional use, these plans are designed to meet the diverse connectivity needs of urban residents and expatriates alike.

Keeping it Together with Converge Vision

 

Dux Carvajal, a photographer, family man and Converge FiberX subscriber from Quezon City.

For photographers, the world is their creative backyard because they go wherever their subject takes them. They leave home and set foot towards the known (and the unknown) in their pursuit of capturing the big, defining moments. For family man Dux Carvajal, this jet setting lifestyle is a balancing act of seeing the world but keeping things grounded at home. Thankfully, a strong, stable internet connection by Converge keeps him connected to his family wherever he is and affords his family the digital means to live, work, and play while he’s away.

“Every other week there’s an event for my major client, which is often in Bangkok, then one week back here in the Philippines, then Qatar, back to Bangkok, then maybe Singapore. I’ve been a photographer for close to 15 years now. The main thing I shoot is sports, mostly mixed martial arts and that gives me the opportunity to travel around different countries every other week. I’m very blessed to be able to do this for a living,” says Dux, giving a glimpse of the lifestyle he’s taken on as a sports photographer.

“Being a sports photographer is an incredible job because you get to capture history. You get to capture the moments and the emotions. You are making history through your images,” he adds.

As if that’s not enough, he manages his own events company which offers photography as a logical accompaniment to the services of the company. This suite of services is an expansion of his skills in public relations, where he and his wife both started out.

“I started my career doing PR for a sports channel where I was able to travel with a sports company and experienced their events. It got me thinking maybe I could do that locally. I partnered with some of my friends and started an events company. Our first clients, who are actually still our clients today, are mostly international ones so business has been good,” he explained.

In addition to a stable business and a job bringing him to different corners of the world, Dux has been able to build a happy little nest too with his wife and three kids in Quezon City.

Dux is subscribed to the FiberX 2500 of Converge, giving him equal upload and download speeds, so he can experience uninterrupted internet access while streaming movies, downloading large files, and even playing online games.

When he’s not out shooting for mounting an event, he’s at home enjoying quality time watching streaming channels or local content via Vision, the all-in-one entertainment box offered by Converge in partnership with affiliate cable company, Pacific KabelNet. Vision is a value-added service for Converge subscribers, providing access to a broader selection of local and international television channels for a monthly fee.

“For us, the main benefit of Vision is, it converted our non-smart TV to a smart tv. It’s a plug and play device and once it’s been set up, all the channels are there. And the TV is suddenly a smart tv, you get your Disney Plus, Spotify, YouTube and browsing through the TV channels content you get a lot of content and there’s BlastTV too.”

The ‘Vision Xperience Box’ by Converge offers 65 local and international TV channels for an additional P99 per month on top of the monthly plan, or P 299 a month for 82 channels. This box includes Kapamilya channels as well as international news and entertainment channels like HBO, Cinemax, USA Today, and many more.

Aside from these channels, subscribers have quick, one-click access to Google apps, online games, and OTT apps like HBO Go, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and Spotify.

“There’s content for everyone: my daughters are always on Disney+ for the Disney princesses, my son watches science shows, my wife is a big K-drama fan, and for me, it’s mostly the sports channels,” he shares. 

Vision is a value-added service that gives Converge subscribers access to a wider selection of local and international television channels. It is an all-in-one entertainment box offered by Converge in partnership with affiliate cable company, Pacific KabelNet. 

With the successive speed boosts the plans have undergone since 2016, subscribers can all the more take advantage of their speeds, using their connection for gaming and work at the same time. This is yet another benefit Dux enjoys with his Converge connection, as he sends over hefty image files to his clients abroad.

“Before, that was my worry. It’s embarrassing for the clients, you’re just downloading a 10Mb file, and yet, it’s taking too long. My clients are abroad, so they’re used to lightning-fast speeds. They can’t understand what’s taking me so long. But because of the speeds that we get through Converge, I’m very confident to now say, ‘Hey, I can transfer these files right away.’ The work gets done quickly, even the workflow as well,” he ended.

Dux is subscribed to the FiberX 2500 of Converge, giving him equal upload and download speeds, so he can experience uninterrupted internet access while streaming movies, downloading large files, and even playing online games.
