Converge yesterday said it led all internet service providers (ISPs) in the first report released by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) for its Oplan Bantay Signal.

At end-2025, Converge leads all ISPs on broadband speed, turning in an average of 193.61 Mbps in Metro Manila across more than 700,000 tests from subscribers.

Converge led its competitors across all metrics, from download and upload speed, to latency. The fiber-backed ISP recorded 10.67 milliseconds in latency, which refers to the time needed for data to travel back and forth.
