ANGELES CITY, Pampanga — Converge ICT Solutions Inc. announced on Monday that it will install fiber optic technology at no cost to consumers, initially in this province, to empower home and business establishments.

In a press conference held at Cactus Jacks Smokehouse here, Converge ICT Solutions Inc. president and CEO Dennis Uy, said his firm will provide absolute premium digital experience.

He said the switch from cable to fiber optic will be free of charge to its subscribers.

“This will be your end to end pure fiber optic connection. It’s fast and reliable, “ Uy said.

He said that fiber optic services, such as fiber broadband and fiber TV, use fiber optic cables to send data while cable services use a combination of fiber and coaxial cables.

“It has been in our drawing board and we are still finalizing the details so we can start the installation of the fiber cables,” he said.

“We are constantly refreshing our service offerings ensuring they are aligned with what our subscribers want, including faster internet surfing speeds as well as higher quality TV services,” he added.

Earlier, Converge ICT stopped its plan to change its billing cycle from every end of the month to every 10th of the month.

To reverse the change, the billing statement for August will only cover August 10-31. Succeeding months will then be back to the old cycle.

“From a cable tv connection to providing DOCSIS-powered internet, we have gradually upgraded to pure fiber optic network to guarantee fast internet service and clear television signals. One thing that we are definitely proud of is having our roots planted deeply right in the heart of Pampanga.

Even with the switching from coaxial to fiber, our rates have not gone up in the last few years,” Uy said.

Converge ICT has more than 200,000 subscribers alone in Central Luzon.

“Converge will soon deploy mobile stores in Luzon to bring its services closer to subscribers,” Uy said.
