Romero, COO of Converge ICT Solutions Inc. “These awards aren’t just for us; they’re for every Filipino who relies on fast, stable, and accessible internet to power their daily lives.”

Elevating the Filipino Digital Experience
Building on its success, Converge continues to introduce groundbreaking initiatives that enhance the digital lifestyle of its customers. Boost Mode, launched in the first half of 2024, initially provided a free 100 Mbps speed upgrade for FiberX subscribers, celebrating Converge’s consecutive Ookla® Speedtest Awards. Boost Mode was made a permanent offering available to all in the latter part of the year not only to celebrate the continuing streak but also as part of the company’s culture of service, built on a customer-first approach, prioritizing accessibility, reliability, and innovation to deliver world-class internet connectivity while expanding digital inclusion across the Philippines.
