Converge, PLDT, Globe, SKY: Unlimited Fiber Internet Plans Compared (2023)

So it’s 2023 and you’re interested in either getting fiber internet in your home or office, or you’re curious about switching from one internet service provider (ISP) to another.

You start to look up all the plans that each ISP offers and it gets overwhelming. This plan has this many Mbps for this amount of money, this one has this speed for this lower price, but this one has much more bang for your buck deal — all of it can be a bit too much and we get it.

To get a better look at your options, we’ve put together a quick comparison of the fiber internet plans offered by the major ISPs in the Philippines, namely Globe, PLDT, Converge, and SKY.

Let’s check them out!

Among the four ISPs, SKY Fiber still offers the most affordable plan with 30Mbps for Php 999USD 17INR 1,443EUR 16CNY 124/mo. Upgrading to their Php 1299USD 22INR 1,877EUR 21CNY 161 plan will then net you 75 Mbps.

However, Converge offers 200 Mbps for Php 1500USD 26INR 2,167EUR 24CNY 186/mo — which is a really good price for the amount of speed you get.

For the Php 1699USD 29INR 2,454EUR 28CNY 211/mo price point, SKY is lagging behind. Both Globe and PLDT are offering 200 Mbps plans for 1699, while SKY is only offering 150 Mbps. Converge, on the other hand, offers a Time of Day plan for Php 1699USD 29INR 2,454EUR 28CNY 211/mo with speeds of 400/200 Mbps.

Meanwhile, for Php 2000USD 34INR 2,889EUR 32CNY 248/mo, you can get 400 Mbps internet speeds with Converge’s FiberX plan. We can imagine this as a popular option for many consumers, especially since this is the only 400 Mbps option that doesn’t breach the Php 2000USD 34INR 2,889EUR 32CNY 248 mark.

This makes PLDT’s 400 Mbps plan at Php 2099USD 36INR 3,032EUR 34CNY 260/mo a bit of a head-scratcher in terms of value since it’s Php 100USD 2INR 144EUR 2CNY 12 more for the same speed offered by Converge.

If you’re really looking for a bit more speed ranging around 500 Mbps, Globe is offering an internet plan for that speed at Php 2499USD 43INR 3,610EUR 41CNY 310/mo. Meanwhile, Converge is offering 600 Mbps for Php 2500USD 43INR 3,612EUR 41CNY 310/mo.

Other options for 600 Mbps are either PLDTs Php 2699USD 46INR 3,899EUR 44CNY 335/mo plan or their Php 2999USD 51INR 4,332EUR 49CNY 372/mo Fiber PLUS plan which includes 3 WiFi Mesh Units.

Those interested in Converge’s Time of Day plan at 800/600 Mbps will have to fork out Php 3000USD 51INR 4,334EUR 49CNY 372/mo. This is up from their former Php 1699USD 29INR 2,454EUR 28CNY 211/mo Time of Day plan in 2022 that offered 400/200Mbps.

Only Globe and Converge offer an 800 Mbps plan at Php 3499USD 60INR 5,055EUR 57CNY 434/mo and Php 5000USD 85INR 7,223EUR 81CNY 621/mo respectively. The difference here is that Converge’s Php 5000USD 85INR 7,223EUR 81CNY 621/mo 800 Mbps is their Game Changer Elite plan which includes a specialized gaming router with the plan.

Lastly, for those who want 1-Gbps speed, both Converge and Globe offer it with their Php 7499USD 128INR 10,833EUR 122CNY 931 per month plan. Meanwhile, PLDT also has a 1-Gbps fiber plan but the pricing will be upon request.

While these rated speeds from ISPs don’t necessarily reflect the whole internet experience each product provides, it does at least gives us a good baseline on what plan gives what for every budget out there.
