Mandaue City, CEBU, 07 June 2021<\/em> – Leading fiber internet services provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. has officially launched its high-speed fiber broadband service in Visayas, marking its entry with the grand opening of its regional corporate office and the ceremonial launch of its Mandaue business center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next few weeks, Converge is also set to open its business center in Cebu City, as well as begin serving Talisay, Cordova, and Lapu-Lapu City in one of the most developed provinces in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve already hit the ground running when we had our soft launch in Cebu last November. Considering that we\u2019ve only been operating in Mandaue and Cebu cities on a limited basis, we\u2019ve already signed on thousands of subscribers and established partnerships with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and Enterprise clients,\u201d said Converge CEO and Co-Founder Dennis Anthony Uy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis strong subscriber take-up is promising, and we expect a groundswell in subscriptions as we target commercial operations in the other areas in the next two months,\u201d added Converge President and Co-Founder Grace Uy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a full-day event on Monday, the country\u2019s only pure end-to-end fiber broadband provider heralded its entry in the Visayas with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its first business center in the region, followed by the opening of its regional corporate office, at the Oakridge IT Center Tower 2, Oakridge Business Park in bustling Mandaue City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official launch ceremony was graced by the province\u2019s major business groups including the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is all part of the broader \u2018Go National\u2019 strategy which is essentially our nationwide expansion plan. With\u00a0 Converge\u2019s fiber optic cables having already landed in Cebu last April, and with three landing points in the island – in San Remigio, Bogo, and Naga – our domestic fiber backbone is firmed up and ready to take on the pent-up demand for fiber connection in central Philippines,\u201d said Converge Chief Operations Officer Jesus C. Romero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Converge can now offer innovative products such as the FiberX Time of Day plans to the Visayas market. The Time of Day plans offer speed boosts ranging from 70mbps to 800 Mbps at pre-set times of the day depending on the preference of the customer. At such price points, Converge is offering the best value for money broadband service in the market, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Converge\u2019s soft launch in Cebu last November, it has already covered more than 440,000 households, spanning 48 cities and municipalities, and more than a thousand barangays. For 2021, it is targeting to deploy at least 250,000 fiber ports in Visayas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In support of Converge\u2019s debut in Visayas, the grand launch on Monday was attended by known leaders in Cebu\u2019s local government and business circles including Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes, Mandaue City Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Steven Yu, and Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Felix Taguiam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Converge splashed the city with FiberX purple activities including a set-up of its business center in wheels, roving billboards, and sales blitzes featuring its mascot Conrad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
