But in today’s modern world, where practically everything is connected via technology and the internet, there’s one thing that surely irks us all – a poor internet connection. Not only for people whose employment mainly depends on the internet, but even for those who use it for entertainment purposes, it’s truly annoying. So how much more irritated would the elderly be, who most likely stay at home now that they’re in their senior years? Imagine them watching Netflix or just a random video on a social networking site, and suddenly, all they see is that dreadful circle indicating that there’s no longer any connection. How frustrating!
Let us then have a look at the best internet providers in the Philippines so that we can enjoy the internet stress-free.

Imagine them watching Netflix or just a random video on a social networking site, and suddenly, all they see is that dreadful circle indicating that there’s no longer any connection. How frustrating!
Let us then have a look at the best internet providers in the Philippines so that we can enjoy the internet stress-free.
Offering the first-ever end-to-end fiber network in the country, Converge ICT is definitely one of the best internet providers as of this writing. It provides affordable plans for as low as Php 1,500, with no monthly data cap for all plans. It also has an installation fee of Php 2,500 and a lock-in period of 24 months.
Some of its best internet broadband plans that are perfect for residential use are:
• FIBERX 1500 – unlimited, up to 50 Mbps
• FIBERX 2500 – unlimited, up to 300 Mbps
• FIBERX 3500 – unlimited, up to 800 Mbps
Depending on what you need, one of these three unlimited plans will surely meet it. However, Converge ICT has limited coverage areas; it is only available in Metro Manila and its nearby provinces (Cavite, Pampanga, Rizal, etc.). Another issue concerning the company is its poor customer service. Nevertheless, its fast internet network might be worth a try.
The company was originally a cable TV provider but has now expanded its services to include broadband internet. Hence, its plans are bundles of broadband internet with no monthly data cap, and free cable TV channels via SKY Cable. On top of that, it has free AirConsole Hero access to more than 160 online games. One SKY also offers free installation for all its subscribers.
Here are some of its plans:
• SKY Fiber Broadband 999 – unlimited, up to 20 Mbps
• SKY Fiber Broadband 1499 – unlimited, up to 40 Mbps
• SKY Fiber Broadband 1999 – unlimited, up to 80 Mbps
• SKY Fiber Broadband 2499 – unlimited, up to 120 Mbps
• SKY Fiber Broadband 3499 – unlimited, up to 200 Mbps
If you want HD cable TV channels, One SKY has Unli Broadband + HD Cable TV plans. The cheapest is for Php 999, with unlimited internet of up to 10 Mbps and 12 HD and 51 SD channels, while the most expensive is for Php 2,999, with unlimited internet of up to 120 Mbps and 22 HD and 68 SD channels.
But just like Converge, One SKY also has limited coverage, mostly just in the Metro.
PLDT has wide coverage as it operates nationwide. Its Unli Fibr plans come with a free landline that you can use for unlimited calls to other PLDT landlines, and it also offers free installation. Some of the PLDT plans are:
• Fibr Unli Plan 1699 – unlimited, up to 50 Mbps
• Fibr Unli Plan 2099 – unlimited, up to 100 Mbps
• Fibr Unli Plan 2699 – unlimited, up to 300 Mbps
• Fibr Unli Plan 3799 – unlimited, up to 600 Mbps
Another internet service provider that has coverage all over the country is Globe. It has Php 4,500 installation fee and all its unli plans, except for Plan 1499, include free unlimited landline and Globe-to-Globe calls for 24 months. The following are the Globe broadband plans:
• Globe At Home Unli Fiber Plan 1499 – unlimited, up to 35 Mbps (internet only)
• Globe At Home Unli Fiber Plan 1699 – unlimited, up to 35 Mbps
• Globe At Home Unli Fiber Plan 2099 – unlimited, up to 70 Mbps
• Globe At Home Unli Fiber Plan 2699 – unlimited, up to 100 Mbps
Which of these bundles impressed you? Well, just choose whatever you think is best for you – whether you like the free HD cable channels, or the free landline, etc. – and enjoy!
