CONVERGE ICT has topped the December 2020 Netflix ISP Speed Index leaderboard.

Converge topped the Netflix leaderboard at 3.4 Mbps.

Netflix is a popular online streaming movie platform with content ranging from animated movies, works from talented local filmmakers, Korean dramas, American TV series and more.

Because a strong internet connection is synonymous with Netflix, the online platform has come up with its own index to reveal which internet service provider performs the best and can most likely let a subscriber best enjoy their time on Netflix.

Called the Netflix ISP Speed Index, the ranking includes "the average bitrate of Netflix content in megabits per second (Mbps) streamed by Netflix members by ISP."

As the leader in providing pure end-to-end fiber internet, Converge ensures this commitment also extends to its subscribers who enjoy consuming their fair share of entertainment including Netflix.

With the introduction of free speed upgrades of up to 300 Mbps for its consumer plans last December, subscribers can continue to expect the best streaming experience and make more memories with the online platform with Converge.

"Our showing in the latest Netflix ISP Speed Index illustrates our commitment to continue providing fast and affordable internet to our subscribers," Converge Chief Operating Officer Jesus Romero said.

THREAT. According to a Capitol consultant, the Cebu City Government is threatening to shut down the Cebu North Bus Terminal at the back of SM City Cebu (left) and the Cebu South Bus Terminal along N. Bacalso Ave. for operating without a business permit. The Province, which runs both terminals, maintains that it operates the facilities as a public service for passengers going to the province and vice versa. /
