BlastTV will be made available to every Converge subscriber as a complementary value-added service, indefinitely under the first in the market “Watch Now, Pay Zero” initiative.

Celinda de Guia, President & CEO of TapDMV, shared her enthusiasm about this milestone: “BlastTV is an accessible platform within the comfortable confines of your wifi-enabled home that caters to the viewing interests of every household member. Whether you are using your tablet, laptop or smart TV in your house, BlastTV has curated a content line-up that is as varied as it is engaging.”

“BlastTV marks our latest stride in transforming the digital entertainment landscape in the Philippines,” stated Dennis Uy, Co-founder and CEO of Converge. “We’re delighted to collaborate with TapDMV on this initiative, delivering a broad array of dynamic and high-quality content directly to our subscribers’ screens at no additional cost, as long as they are subscribed to any Converge fiber broadband plan.”

Converge received the *Best ISP Video Experience in the Philippines recognition for the second half of 2022 at the Ookla® Speedtest Award™, which verifies the consumer-generated score results of video experiences felt by customers over a six-month period, with an overall video score of 80.99 ― the highest score among Philippine internet service providers.

Offered as a free Value-Added Service (VAS) to Converge customers, BlastTV solidifies the company’s commitment of providing Filipinos with the best digital experience.

Converge subscribers will also be treated to an array of branded sports channels such as Sports+, Golf+, Fight Ticket, Cue, BlastFC, UFC TV, Outdoor Channel, and USA Today Sports.

“With the number of streaming platforms in the market today and their rising cost, we’re glad to offer a free alternative to Filipinos looking for new sources of entertainment that is bundled already with their internet service,” said Converge President and Co-founder Grace Y. Uy.

“Converge has been at the forefront in giving Filipinos value for money services. With BlastTV’s high-quality and vibrant line-up of wide range content, from entertainment and lifestyle to sports and beyond, our subscribers will be getting the best of both worlds,“ added Converge Chief Operations Officer Jesus C.
