In a statement, Converge ICT said its Surf2Sawa would cover more unserved areas across the country.

Converge Founder and CEO Dennis Anthony Uy acknowledged that "barriers" remain in the full adoption of fiber broadband nationwide, but he hopes to narrow the digital gap through the company’s Surf2Sawa.

Our goal is to cover all urban poor communities and third-class municipalities across the country. This is our pledge to digital democracy as we hope to see the day when every Filipino has access to world-class connectivity, Uy said.

The new Surf2Sawa product is available through prepaid loading for as low as PHP 50 a day, once the fiber line with modem has been installed. There are also plans for PHP 200 for seven days, PHP 380 for 15 days, and PHP 700 for one month.

The service has so far been rolled out in 400 cities and municipalities.

The Converge official also claimed that the firm is now the country’s “biggest fiber-to-the-home network” with 7.9 million fiber ports available as of end-2022.

We are primed and ready to take on the wave of demand from budget-conscious subscribers hoping to access fiber broadband but at prepaid values, added Uy.
