The telco provider’s expansion will bring its signature connectivity services in Roxas City, including Eastern Fiber 1, a shared high-speed fiber service designed for SMEs to ensure optimal performance during business hours, and Eastern Internet Direct Service (IDS), a dedicated internet solution tailored for uninterrupted, round-the-clock operations. These services will ensure that businesses of all sizes have access to fast, reliable, and secure internet connections, essential for day-to-day operations and growth.

Eastern Communications will also offer an array of ICT solutions, such as Network Solutions, Cybersecurity Solutions, Cloud and Data Center Solutions, and Business Applications.

The telco provider’s entry into Roxas City fortifies its nationwide expansion through the Philippine Domestic Submarine Cable Network (PDSCN), the longest undersea fiber cable network in the Philippines spanning 2,500 kilometers. This initiative, in partnership with Globe Telecom Inc. and InfiniVAN, Inc., reinforces Eastern Communications’ mission to provide resilient and reliable internet connectivity across the country.
