Converge ICT Solutions Inc. swept the top honors in Ookla\u2019s Speedtest Intelligence report for the first half of 2026, ranking as the Philippines\u2019 best internet service provider (ISP) with fastest internet and unrivaled latency score.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drawing from millions of consumer-initiated tests conducted nationwide across web and mobile platforms, Ookla officially named Converge FiberX, the company\u2019s flagship broadband product, as the \u201cBest Internet\u201d, \u201cFastest Internet\u201d, and \u201cBest Fixed Latency\u201d for January to June 2026.<\/p>\n

Converge dominated across all major fixed-broadband metrics, recording a Speed Score of 61.86 and a Speedtest Connectivity Score of 73.14. Furthermore, the network registered an industry-leading Latency Score of 14.44. Lower latency indicates faster network response times, a critical metric for gaming, video conferencing, and real-time enterprise applications.<\/p>\n

This latest assessment extends a multi-year winning streak for Converge in the Ookla Speedtest Awards dating back to 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take pride in providing the best broadband service to our over three million subscribers,\u201d said Converge Chief Operations Officer Benjamin Azada. \u201cBeing 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sustaining network excellence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under Ookla\u2019s methodology, the Speed Score combines download speed, upload speed, and latency to reflect typical user experience, while the Connectivity Score evaluates the broader connected experience across high-bandwidth activities like video streaming.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real test is sustaining network performance as more people depend on the network every day,\u201d noted John Paul Aguilar, Converge SVP and Consumer Business Group Head. \u201cThese results reflect the discipline behind our network investments and the standard we intend to keep raising as we expand nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

For consumers, these independent metrics translate directly to daily digital quality of life. Orange Ramirez, Converge VP and Head of Brand and Marketing, emphasized this real-world impact: \u201cPeople may not think about network scores, but they experience the difference in every video call, stream, and online transaction. Independent testing makes that difference visible and gives customers a credible basis for understanding real-world performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the leadership of CEO and Co-Founder Dennis Anthony H. Uy and President and Co-Founder Maria Grace Y. Uy, Converge is actively expanding its digital infrastructure. The company continues to invest heavily in network capacity and technology services to deliver meaningful internet solutions to households, businesses, and public institutions across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
