Converge ICT Solutions Inc. has rolled out 400,000 fiber ports in Region I todate, its fiberization of Ilocos at an all-time high.
As part of its "Go Deep and Go National" strategy, Converge is available in smaller municipalities in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union and Pangasinan, with presence particularly strong in Pangasinan, with fiber ports nearing 200,000 in the province.
“In terms of fiber penetration of Ilocos Region, we have covered these areas down to the barangay level so we have very high service availability there," says Converge CEO Dennis Anthony Uy.
"We are now identifying which areas have high demand for fiber for additional port rollouts,” he noted.
To better serve its customers in the region, Converge launched its flagship Vigan business center in Rizal Street, Barangay VII. The business center will serve not only Vigan but also nearby areas in Ilocos Sur.
"Our business center is here so that we will be able to address the needs of our customers, from application, to payment to after-sales services,” according to Jesus Romero, Converge Chief Operations Officer.
Converge also has business centers located in Laoag, Ilocos Norte and Candon, Ilocos Sur.
In the first half of 2022, North Luzon captured the second highest net subscriber adds among all the operating regions.
