INTERNET service provider Radius Telecoms, Inc. is looking to expand its network to more areas in the Visayas, a company official said on Thursday.
“Right now, we are within the Meralco (Manila Electric Co.) franchise areas such as Metro Manila, Laguna, parts of Batangas, Quezon, Bulacan, but we are still expanding our network,” Radius Telecoms Vice-President and Chief Executive Officer Jen L. dela Paz said at a virtual briefing.
“We are also in Clark and in Cebu. There might be a couple of areas in the Visayas that we are still looking at. We will make the announcement at the appropriate time,” he added.
Radius Telecoms, a company 100%-owned by power distribution utility Meralco, has a partnership with Cignal TV for its dual-play plans.
“Customers can also opt to get internet only, for those who do not want a Cignal bundle,” Radius Telecoms President and Chief Executive Officer Exequiel C. Delgado said.
“We believe that we are offering a very competitive product considering that it’s really a hundred percent end-to-end fiber, which a lot of our competitors cannot offer fully,” he noted.
“We are making sure that we are offering packages that would be easy on the pockets of our customers.”
The company has a 24/7 customer service, as it promises to deliver “seamless streaming, stable internet connectivity, higher service reliability, and reduced network downtime compared to other providers.”
Meralco’s controlling stakeholder, Beacon Electric Asset Holdings, Inc., is partly owned by PLDT, Inc.
Hastings Holdings, Inc., a unit of PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings, Inc., has interest in BusinessWorld through the Philippine Star Group, which it controls. — Arjay L. Balinbin
