Converge ICT Solutions Inc. is facing challenges in acquiring and retaining low-income subscribers as rising inflation and a weakening peso strain household budgets.
Chief Operating Officer Benjamin Azada said demand for its low-cost Surf2Sawa broadband service, which costs ₱700 for 30 days, fluctuates depending on consumers’ financial conditions.
Meanwhile, its flagship FiberX service, which caters to middle-income households, continues to attract steady demand.
To make internet access more affordable, Converge is exploring a new fiber broadband package that could cost as little as ₱500 per month.
The company said it will continue developing affordable products and expanding its network to reach more Filipino households.
