Converge FiberX Internet VS. PLDT, Globe and Sky Broadband

In the past, DSL, Wireless Broadband, Pocket WiFi or Cable Internet was the only option for subscribing an internet plan. Today, another internet technology was introduced in the Philippines, which is the Fiber optic connection. This Fiber optic connection is an internet access through fiber-optic lines. Unlike DSL and cable internet services that transmit internet signal through copper lines, while fiber-optic lines use micro strands of plastic and glass to carry signals through light transmission. This method of data transmission makes fiber optic internet the fastest internet in the market.

Fiber optic internet is one of the growing popularity in Philippines. Among these Fiber internet service providers in the Philippines are, Globe, PLDT, Sky Broadband and the newest player in the country, the Converge ICT. However, availability of fiber internet connections are limited to several areas only. In this article, we’ll compare Converge ICT FiberX Plan to other Fiber internet service providers including Globe, PLDT, and Sky Broadband based to their maximum speed, price rate and data allowance.
