The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has declared Converge ICT Solutions Inc. as the country’s leading broadband, as it delivers the fastest average speeds, lowest latency, and most consistent performance among all providers evaluated for December 2025.

Based on the analysis report, conducted through the national agency’s “Oplan Bantay Signal” program, Converge achieved an average speed of 193.61 Mbps (both download and upload) in Metro Manila across nearly 700,000 speed tests conducted - “proving excellence at massive urban scale.”

DICT’s “Oplan Bantay Signal” provides a comprehensive analysis of network performance data from across the nation.

The report represents significant findings derived from extensive speed testing conducted to assess current network service quality and coverage effectiveness.

Further, the findings encompass critical metrics and performance indicators that have been carefully compiled through nationwide monitoring efforts.

“Converge ICT's performance sets the national benchmark for fixed broadband excellence. The company demonstrates that fiber infrastructure can deliver consistent, high-quality service across diverse geographic conditions,” DICT Secretary Henry Aguda said in the report.

Citing the crucial metrics for network performance, the report detailed that Converge logged the best average download speed, the best upload speed (indicating symmetric performance excellence), as well as a latency of 10.67 milliseconds, which was noted as optimal for real-time applications.

“Beyond these metrics of upload and download speeds, we are actively improving our network for increased reliability and consistency in performance, at the same time as we work on enhancing connectivity in select parts of the country. We are looking at this from multiple perspectives, but definitely this is a badge of honor for us,” noted Converge chief operations officer Benjamin Azada.

“DICT’s report gives a fair and balanced view; they also called our attention to specific areas where we need to improve our performance. We recognize this call, and we pledge to focus our attention on these areas experiencing low or intermittent connectivity; yearly, we allocate a budget not just for network expansion but also for repair and recovery. We will put these investments to good use,” Azada noted.
