PLDT vs Globe vs Converge — which fiber provider is best in the Philippines?

Converge has the cheapest entry point, with BIDA Fiber at ₱888 per month for 35 Mbps and prepaid Surf2Sawa from ₱50 a day. PLDT starts higher at ₱1,299 per month for 100 Mbps but on a 36-month contract. Globe GFiber Prepaid, at a reported ₱1,199 for 30 days at 300 Mbps, is the best no-contract speed.

How they differ

  • Converge — cheapest entry, strong provincial reach, and the only major provider with a genuine prepaid fiber product. BIDA Fiber limits the router to 6 connected devices.
  • PLDT — the largest incumbent with the broadest footprint, but the highest entry price and an explicit 36-month contract. No upfront cash-out on application.
  • Globe — GFiber Prepaid is the standout, having moved to 300 Mbps in 2026 with a ₱699 installation fee and 7 days free.
  • Sky — runs on Converge infrastructure and is concentrated in Metro Manila. TruFiber UNLI 75 at ₱999 for 75 Mbps is competitive, but installation is ₱2,500.

Look past the headline price

Installation fees and contract length change the real cost substantially. Sky's ₱999 per month plus ₱3,000 of financed installation is a different proposition from the same ₱999 with free installation. Ask for the total cost over the lock-in period, not the monthly figure.
