NEW San Jose Builders Inc. (NSJBI), one of the largest real-estate conglomerates in the country, is the latest property developer that signed up with NOW Corp. for broadband services.

NSJBI was impressed with the telecom firm’s ability to install its connection in a short period of time and deliver faster and higher-quality Internet compared with the broadband delivery of the country’s leading providers.

NSJBI tapped NOW’s Internet facilities for its Victoria Sports Lounge, touted as the world’s biggest vertical indoor-sports facility housed in eight floors, consisting of 36,000 square meters, and offering several gyms equipped with world-class equipment and gadgets; a shooting range; swimming pool; a jogging track; badminton, tennis and volleyball courts; wall climbing; fencing; a ballet studio, among others.

The first of its kind in the country, NSJBI wants the best for its top-notch clients, including the delivery of reliable and fast Internet services, said Christian Villanueva, club manager of Victoria.

“Since technology plays an important part in our life, the speed of Internet is a big factor for our clients,” Villanueva said. “Even if they are in the gym, they still want to be online for various reasons, such as keeping in touch with their family and friends, getting updates on a work that needs to be done right away, reading or watching the latest news.”

This is the reason why out of the five suppliers that NSJBI considered for the job, it eventually selected NOW after trying out its services.

“We at Victoria want only the best for our customers. They should be satisfied with everything, especially on the speed of the Internet. So far, we are very happy with what NOW has delivered. We can say, NOW is wow!” Villanueva said.

Aside from its speedy Internet, NSJBI cited the speed NOW installed its broadband network. It took NOW only three days to install everything, a far cry from the usual 60 days that other providers guarantee their would-be clients, Villanueva said.

“Before we finalized with NOW, we actually talked to at least four other suppliers. Only NOW was able to do a demo.  Others just gave us a guarantee that they can deliver us the Internet speed that we want. When NOW did the demo, we signed up right away,” Villanueva said. “We chose NOW because, No. 1, the speed of the broadband is unmatched; you really get the speed that they promise they’ll give. No. 2, the installation process is unbelievable. In three days, everything is up and running thanks to its antenna that they installed on top of our roof deck—they didn’t have to go through underground to lay down their fiber optic.”

For its part, NOW is looking forward to tapping more developments similar to NSJBI and Victoria Sports Lounge. “This partnership with NSJBI allows NOW Corp to expand its market beyond enterprises and BPO [business-process outsourcing] office towers,” said Kristian Pura, head of enterprise marketing at NOW. “By signing up NSJBI only proves that our broadband services go beyond the workplace—that, we can also go to where people relax after a long day at the office.”
