Converge has long pursued digital democracy for all, especially for Filipino families on a budget. The company launched the first prepaid (Surf2Sawa) and postpaid (BIDA) fiber internet plans for low-income Filipino families last year. Converge offers these areas the fastest prepaid and postpaid broadband at affordable prices.
Converge is committed to advancing the digital landscape and global connectivity of the Philippines. To achieve this goal, they have invested in two groundbreaking cable systems: the Bifrost Cable System and the SEA-H2X Submarine Cable System. The Bifrost Cable System is the first trans-Pacific cable that connects Southeast Asia to the west coast of North America. On the other hand, the SEA-H2X Submarine Cable System is a direct trans-Asia cable that connects the Philippines to Hong Kong and Singapore and Hong Kong to Singapore.
In the future years, these investments are anticipated to substantially expand the nation's internet capacity, bandwidth, and network diversity.
