01 What we build

One Network, Engineered End‑to‑End.

From the backbone to the drop cable at your wall, every layer is designed, installed, and maintained by our own engineering teams.

Fibre internet installation

High-speed fibre-to-the-home and fibre-to-the-business connections, installed by certified crews with clean, permanent cable routing.

Fibre & wireless deployment

Hybrid network builds that combine fibre backhaul with wireless distribution — the fastest route to coverage over difficult terrain.

Residential, commercial & LGU

Coverage built for households, enterprises, and local government units — including public-facility and barangay-hall connectivity.

Last-mile for rural communities

Purpose-built links into remote and underserved barangays, where the distance from the backbone has always been the barrier.

Network Operations Centre

Watched around the clock, so downtime is caught before you notice it.

Our NOC tracks link health, capacity, and power across every deployment in real time. When a fault appears on the map, the outside-plant team is dispatched with the location already pinned — not after the tickets pile up.

  • Real-time link & capacity monitoring
  • Proactive fault detection and dispatch
  • In-house outside-plant (OSP) crews

02 Coverage

75 barangays live. The map keeps growing.

Our footprint spans Luzon from the Ilocos coast to the Bicol peninsula, with every new site adding capacity to the same managed network.

03 Network topology

Bicol One Network Topology

How traffic actually moves — from international submarine capacity, through our data centres and provincial nodes, down to the subscriber.

Network diagram: the internet and MEGA-1 Hong Kong connect through the international submarine cable system to the TIM Makati and TIM Carmona data centres, which feed the Quezon City and Taytay Rizal nodes serving ASTI and subscribers

Taytay & NCR

International submarine capacity lands at the Makati and Carmona data centres, then distributes through the Quezon City and Taytay nodes.

Network diagram: the Visayas-Mindanao data centre connects via the VisMin submarine cable system to the Bulan cable landing centre, then along the Bulan, Gubat, Legaspi, Iriga and Milaor/Naga nodes to the Pasacao cable landing centre and on to the Manila data centre

Network with Satellite Back-up

Satellite links stand behind the core nodes, so the network keeps running when the fiber path is cut.

05 Our story

Why a company like this starts in Bicol.

Our founding chairman still remembers the barangay he grew up in — a remote community in the mountains of Sorsogon, deep in the Bicol Region.

When the sun dropped behind those peaks, the day was simply over. Homework was rushed under the flickering light of a kerosene lamp. The mountain paths turned pitch black. And the world beyond the ridge stayed exactly that far away.

To a boy growing up there, the internet was a myth — a library in the sky that could answer any question, spoken of only by schoolmates from the lowlands. It felt as far out of reach as the moon.

A remote barangay after dark, lit by a single street lamp, where two young people sit at the water's edge looking at a phone
Nightfall in a rural barangay — where the day once simply ended.

Decades later, that same boy came back — this time with fibre, towers, and a crew. He founded the company on a single conviction: that no Filipino community should be disqualified from the modern world by its distance from a backbone.

Today, students in those same barangays open that library in the sky from their own homes. Every kilometre of cable we pull is another argument that geography is not destiny.

— The Founding Chairman

06 The company

Built by people who climb the poles.

Bicol One Broadband Services Inc. (BOBSI) is a licensed Value-Added Service provider offering wired and wireless internet services nationwide. BOBSI operates its own fiber optic cable infrastructure with a total estimated length of 1,004.17 km, stretching from San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, to Bulan, Sorsogon. Founded by natives of Sorsogon, a province in Bicol, the company is committed to providing affordable internet connections to underserved communities, particularly in rural areas (far-flung barangays) within the Bicol Region, Rizal, and parts of Manila, especially during the pandemic. BOBSI aims to promote internet inclusivity, particularly in areas that have been low priorities for major telecoms.

Initially working as a contractor for other telecommunications companies since 2012, providing services such as fiber layout, wired and wireless installations, and maintenance, BOBSI was officially incorporated in 2020. With over 20 years of expertise in the design, engineering, implementation, and management of outside plant and network technical operations, the corporation now offers end-to-end fiber optic connections to residences and various offices, including those at the Philippine National Police (PNP) Headquarters in Camp Crame and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) at Camp Aguinaldo.
