Smart won 4 of Opensignal's awards. Globe and Smart are tied for the 5th award.

OpenSignal also noted that the increasing 4G availability in the country as a whole is amplified in urban areas. In Cebu, Davao, and Manila, 4G availability scores are at least 10 percent higher than the national average.

Traditionally, mobile broadband speeds and access to 4G in the country is limited. But, the availability has increased dramatically for both Smart and Globe in the last two years. Users can now find an LTE connection more than 70 percent of the time.

OpenSignal said that the future of consumer mobile experience in the Philippines looks positive.

We should also expect to see both operators amp up their mobile services in  in anticipation of Mislatel's launch.

To recall, Mislatel is the newly appointed 3rd major telco in the Philippines.
