Fiber internet provider Converge ICT of bilyonaryo Dennis Anthony Uy delivered on its promise to expand the availability of its service in a bid to meet the rising demand for high-speed connectivity.
Converge said it was able to hit its fiber port rollout target for 2022, deploying two million fiber ports to cement its position as the largest fiber-to-the-home network in the Philippines.
The company in particular bolstered its port deployment in NCR including Rizal, North and Central Luzon, as well as Mindanao.
Converge likewise sustained its aggressive rollout in the Visayas in search for growth opportunities in the region.
“Achieving our fiber rollout target is very much important for us to ensure that our resources are utilized effectively and to also support the growth of our residential subscriber base,” Uy said.
“With this record deployment of ports, we are ensuring high availability in more areas around the country,” he added.
Uy said Converge continues to expand its nationwide network reach to efficiently deliver consumer network demands and empower Filipinos across urban and rural areas.

Uy said Converge is on track to reach its accelerated target to cover approximately 55 percent of households in the country this year.
The company’s household coverage already stood at 53 percent as of end September last year, having passed more than 14.3 million homes.
