Converge ICT Solutions Inc. said on Monday it captured all three of Ookla’s top fixed broadband distinctions for the first half, adding a first-ever latency title to a streak of speed and overall-performance wins stretching back four years. The Speedtest Intelligence report for January to June named the listed fiber operator’s flagship product, Converge FiberX, as ‘Best Internet,’ ‘Fastest Internet’ and ‘Best Fixed Latency’ in the Philippines.
The rankings were drawn from millions of consumer-initiated tests run nationwide on web and mobile platforms.
Converge posted a Speed Score of 61.86 and a Speedtest Connectivity Score of 73.14, along with a Latency Score of 14.44-the best among local fixed operators. Lower latency signals faster network response, a metric that matters most for online gaming, video conferencing and real-time enterprise applications.
The latency award is the newest addition to the company’s tally. Converge has been named the country’s fastest internet service provider (ISP) for four consecutive years and best ISP for three, with its run in the Ookla Speedtest Awards dating back to 2022.
‘We take pride in providing the best broadband service to our over three million subscribers,’ said Converge COO Benjamin Azada. ‘Being awarded the fastest provider for four straight years, best ISP for three years, and now confirmed to have the best latency, is a testament to our consistent efforts to deliver superior performance.’
Under Ookla’s methodology, the Speed Score blends download speed, upload speed and latency to approximate typical user experience, while the Connectivity Score measures the broader connected experience across high-bandwidth activities such as video streaming.
‘The real test is sustaining network performance as more people depend on the network every day,’ noted John Paul Aguilar, Converge SVP and Consumer Business Group Head. ‘These results reflect the discipline behind our network investments and the standard we intend to keep raising as we expand nationwide.’
