RISE

Enterprise fiber internet with 100% CIR

Overview

RISE provides high-speed fiber internet for Philippine businesses and operates GetaFIX, the country’s largest carrier-neutral Internet Exchange. It offers dedicated fiber connections with 100% CIR, ensuring symmetric, peak-time performance, and sells tiered enterprise and shared plans with 24/7 in-house network engineering support. By building and managing its own network and hosting GetaFIX, RISE delivers lower latency and more predictable connectivity than peers who rely on third-party networks. Its goal is to accelerate internet development in the Philippines by delivering reliable, uncongested bandwidth to SMEs and large enterprises alike.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • USTDA funded a $1.27 million GetaFIX feasibility study in May 2024.
  • RISE won PT&T as upstream customer in August 2025, validating network quality.
  • DE-CIX Manila expands GetaFIX reach across Southeast Asia and 40 connected networks.

What critics are saying

  • DE-CIX Manila and PT&T partnerships commoditize RISE's edge by 2026.
  • RISE still depends on Philippine enterprise demand and carrier-neutral interconnection adoption.
  • A failed GetaFIX expansion would trap RISE in slower, lower-margin access services.

What makes RISE unique

  • GetaFIX is Philippines' largest neutral Internet Exchange, now linked with DE-CIX Manila.
  • RISE sells enterprise fiber with 100% CIR and direct engineer-led support.
  • PT&T named RISE its upstream provider on August 7, 2025.
