The milestone underscores how prepaid fiber has gone mainstream in the Philippines, long dominated by costly postpaid plans and inconsistent wireless options.
Management’s view
Converge CEO Dennis Anthony Uy said the surge reflects “the strong adoption of the market to prepaid broadband services,” noting that more Filipinos now seek budget-friendly, on-demand connectivity.
Competitors have also followed suit, with Converge OIC and consumer head JP Aguilar calling it “a win for wider broadband access.”
Launched in late 2022, S2S was designed for price-sensitive households unable to avail postpaid subscriptions.
Accessible, high-speed Internet
Plans range from P50 to P700, offering unlimited internet with contract-free setup and minimal installation, and support up to six devices with average speeds of 50 Mbps.
“For years, many Filipinos have had to rely on wireless alternatives that, while useful, often fall short in offering reliable connectivity. S2S fills in that gap, and we’re glad to see that more customers are embracing this,” said Converge VP Conrado “Dhing” Pascual, who leads the unit.
Demand has been strongest in NCR and South and Central Luzon, with growth also picking up across Visayas and Mindanao as the company expands its fiber footprint.
