PLDT vs Globe vs Converge: Unli Fiber Plans

PLDT vs Globe vs Converge: Unlimited Fiber Internet Plans in the Philippines

There are currently three major providers of Fiber Internet in the country — PLDT, Globe Telecom, and Converge ICT. We list down their available consumer unlimited fiber plans and compare which one is the best bang for the buck.

Fiber Internet may sound a bit pricey, but it offers a more reliable connection in inclement weather, not to mention greater bandwidth and faster speeds. We compiled the available unlimited fiber plans and plotted them into the table, for your reference:

Speeds	PLDT	Globe	Converge
5Mbps	1299	1699
10Mbps		1899
15Mbps	1699	1899
20Mbps		1899
25Mbps	1899		1500
35Mbps			1599
50Mbps	2899	2499
75Mbps			2500
100Mbps	3499	2899
150Mbps			3500
200Mbps	6,000
300Mbps			4500
500Mbps			7000
1Gbps	20,000

While Globe offers consumer fiber speeds at up to 1Gbps, these are not unlimited and are data capped. Depending on your location, they will also offer 10Mbps, 15Mbps, or 20Mbps speeds at the same price point. Converge, on the other hand, offers a wide range of unlimited internet options from Php1,500USD 26INR 2,167EUR 24CNY 186 to the most expensive at Php7,000USD 119INR 10,112EUR 114CNY 869.

PLDT, meanwhile, offers far more limited and quite expensive plans even when we take into consideration their ongoing holiday promo — their unlimited 1Gbps plan is priced at an astounding Php20,000USD 341INR 28,892EUR 325CNY 2,482. It’s also worth noting that both PLDT and Globe’s Fiber plans come with a landline bundled in the package.

With this, Converge wins the lower price segment by offering 25Mbps and 35Mbps plans at Php1,500USD 26INR 2,167EUR 24CNY 186 and Php1,599USD 27INR 2,310EUR 26CNY 198, respectively, while Globe has the 100Mbps crown for pricing it better at Php2,899USD 49INR 4,188EUR 47CNY 360. Converge, on the other hand, bumped their speeds and made a speed add-on to their most affordable plan to create a segment of their own.

Our family is currently using Converge’s line-based fiber internet connection. Even at the lowest available plan, the speed is great and never gets slower than 30% of the plan speed during peak hours. Connection is also consistent (except for very rare technical problems), so we can still surf and be online even during stormy days unless there is power outage ?. And since it’s unlimited, we can watch as much videos online as we want. ?

I am a former subscriber of pldt. Through all the years with my former isp, i have encountered numerous problems with them on internet speeds and accounting.
Now with converge, i am very happy so far with the apeed i am getting… hopefully this is not going to be another “ningas-cugon”.

I am a former subscriber of first PLDT DSL, then Globe LTE Home Broadband, now with Converge. Im happy to say Converge never let us down and provided what is expected. Landline is not a necessity for us, internet is life so Converge provided exactly what we needed.

Converge is the best out there they have the latest technology. Nag offer din ang converge ng 50mbps its 2100 yta. Pldt has jologs and outdated technology. Saka we just need pure fiber not the bundled phone wala kwenta we dont need a phone its tech age na. Saka if meron kayo phoneline tawag ng tawag mga pldt sales para alukin kyo ng mga jologs na mga tech gadgets nila na dispossable. Nakakainis ring ng ring phone mo sa bahay eh puro sila pldt lang nmn tawag. Istorbo.

I am a Converge subscriber for almost 2 years already (in January), Altho its hard to reach hotline takes almost 30mins at times, its still the fastest turnaround time of the 3, they keep their subscribers updated thru text, sometimes I wake up having 2 texts already, one is informing of outage in an area, the 2nd having it resolved, technical service crews will dispatch even on sundays, low ping (never above 5ms), and at that price-point for unlimited service, it beats it’s competitors to a pulp. I have referred 3 neighbors already to enjoy their money’s worth

I agree, converge have good internet, however customer service is hard to reach, but then i’ll take that anytime over PLDT which when you call for technical concerns, is it as if they owe you one big favor by entertaining your call for their problem. Sadly our area is not covered by converge so i have to wade through with the lock-in of PLDT.

wow at those people lucky enough to be in the rollout coverage of fiber internet.
kami na nasa rural mindanao ay magtitiyaga na lang sa globe lte data plan.

i hope incoming mislatel telco and existing globe and pldt will also expand their fiber internet coverage areas.
