Converge ICT Solutions Inc. ended 2023 on top of the Netflix ISP Speed Index Leaderboard, solidifying its position as the best connectivity for high-quality and seamless video streaming.

Netflix ISP Speed Index, which records which internet service provider offers the best prime time Netflix streaming experience, ranked Converge as No. 1 in the Philippines with a speed of 3.0 Mbps in December 2023, together with a local service provider.

For the whole year, Converge clocked in at an average speed of 3.25 Mbps, higher than the national average of 2.8 Mbps and superior than the other major ISPs. Converge occupied the top rank of the Netflix Speed Index Leaderboard for 11 months in 2023.

“Converge continues to deliver the best streaming experience to its more than 2 million subscribers in 2023. We’re glad to be part of Filipinos’ holiday celebrations as families bonded over movies and TV shows during the Christmas break,” said Converge CEO and co-founder Dennis Anthony Uy.

“This year, our customers can look forward to the same high-quality, lossless, and seamless video experience they’ve come to expect from Converge. What most people don’t realize is that customers who have been with Converge since day one have been able to maximize and enjoy their content at the highest quality that Netflix offers, which is 4K Ultra HD viewing,” he added.

According to Netflix, the ISP Speed Index is a measure of prime time Netflix performance on a particular ISP and not a measure of overall performance for other services or data that may travel across the specific ISP network. Faster Netflix performance generally means better picture quality, quicker start times, and fewer interruptions.

As of end-September 2023, Converge has the broadest fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network in the Philippines with 7.9 million ports. It also has the newest and most advanced fiber network among the telco players, with an average use age of 2 years.

Last year, Converge made its foray into the mass market segments with two products: the Surf2Sawa prepaid fiber plans and the BIDA Fiber postpaid plans. These were introduced with the aim to bring the budget-conscious Filipinos into the fold of broadband internet.

The company announced in February 2024 that it dominated the Ookla® Speedtest Awards in the second half of 2023, claiming the title of *Fastest Internet Service Provider in the Philippines, from its closest competitor which held the title for the past five years.

Ookla® is the global leader in mobile and broadband network intelligence, testing applications, and related technologies. Based on Ookla’s Speedtest Intelligence® data for the six-month period, Converge also hauled all awards in multiple categories bagging Best Internet Gaming Experience, Best Internet Video Experience, and Top-Rated Internet in the Philippines.

As of September 2023, the household coverage of Converge stands at 62.3% of all Philippine households. In terms of total fiber assets, these now span over 682,000 fiber kilometers.
