Converge ICT Dominates Ookla Speedtest Awards, Strengthening Philippine Internet Leadership
Converge ICT Solutions Inc. has once again positioned itself at the vanguard of Philippine connectivity, securing significant accolades at the latest Ookla Speedtest Awards. The company's performance across key categories reinforces its sustained leadership in the nation's fixed internet landscape, highlighting its commitment to delivering superior digital experiences.
Major Recognitions from Global Network Testing Authority
Based on comprehensive analysis by Ookla, the global leader in fixed broadband and mobile network testing, Converge earned three major awards: Fastest Fixed Network, Best Fixed Network, and Best Fixed Video Experience.

The awards validate the company's ongoing investments in network infrastructure and customer-centric improvements.
A Legacy of Consistent Excellence and Expansion
These latest recognitions build on a strong record of consistent performance. Converge first gained major recognition at the Speedtest Awards in 2022, winning Top Rated Fixed Network and Best ISP Video Experience in separate reporting periods. By 2023, the company achieved a full sweep of the major categories, signaling its emergence as a dominant force in Philippine broadband.
