NEW THIS AFTERNOON: SkyCable's SkyFiber increases new fiber internet speed plans to 'SkyTruFiber' under new partnership with Converge [#BalitangNegosyo]
BACOLOD, NEGROS OCCIDENTAL -- The Philippine's leading cable company 'SkyCable Corporation' has recently revealed that the 'SkyFiber' internet service reportedly changed its name to 'SkyTruFiber' due to a new strategic partnership with 'Converge ICT Solutions Incorporated'. This was first announced via captioned social media posts on Tuesday (October 1st, 2024 -- Bacolod local time), and has the goal of transforming the newly-improved fiber internet service experience of existing, as well as newly registered subscribers.
Existing 'SkyFiber' subscribers are eligible for a free upgrade to 'SkyTruFiber'. While new subscribers, including us Negrosanons will need to pay for fiber internet modems and/or cable boxes.
'SkyTruFiber' offers plans starting at PHP999 per month for 75Mbps, all the way up to PHP3,500 for 800Mbps, similar to Converge's Surf2Sawa and FiberX plans. It is unconfirmed if the cable service is currently running or not. The monthly billing system will transition from a 9-digit SkyCable account to a 13-digit Converge ICT account, payable at a nearest Converge ICT offices, malls like SM SaveMore, kiosk payments, and online payments via GCash, Maya and Tonik.
There have been rumors that SkyCable's cable services would be shutting down for the second time later in November 2024, while fiber internet services would be the only remaining its last resort. There is a good opportunity for the existing cable subscribers of SkyCable is to switch other providers such as FilProducts, Cignal or Converge Vision. OneNETnews could not independently verify this piece of new information on its own whether it was being authentic or bust.
But in any case, it would bring faster, better and more reliable internet services to the subscribers of the new 'SkyTruFiber' as this uses the highly extensive fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network of converge.
