Covering more than 60 provinces, the Ayala-led telecommunications giant said it has replaced copper cables with fiber optics to enable towns to enjoy high-speed broadband built for an increasingly digital world.

Globe has been ramping up its effort to eliminate copper from its network as part of its commitment to sustainability.

Compared to traditional copper-based systems, fiber technology has a lower carbon footprint due to its reduced energy consumption.
