“PLDT’s Smart has significant momentum across all circles measured. This likely implies a higher likelihood of market share gains going forward, with potentially better pricing power,” said J.P.Morgan in its study, which covers the months of February to April.
For 3G, J.P. Morgan's data also showed that Smart is leading the country in speed with 2.29 Mbps average download. 3.41 Mbps for Metro Manila, 1.74 Mbps in Visayas, and 1.82 Mbps in South Luzon.
“There is still a lot of work to be done, but these test results show that our network improvement program is making progress. They are a testament to Smart’s commitment to continuously contribute to improving overall speeds in the country,” said Mario G. Tamayo, PLDT and Smart Senior Vice President for Network Planning and Engineering.
There's still a lot of work to be done, but Smart has already started the groundwork to improve nationwide mobile data speed.
Smart is re-equipping its cell sites to use low-frequency bands such as 700 MHz and 850 MHz to provide better indoor coverage. The company is also deploying high-frequency bands like 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz to increase the cell sites’ capacity desinged handle more calls, texts, and ever-increasing mobile data traffic.
