The telco giant said mobile data traffic reached 1,761 petabytes in January to June period, a 59 percent jump from the same period in 2020.

The figure was also higher than the competition's 1,579 petabytes. Note that one petabyte is equivalent to one million gigabytes of data. The competition wasn't mentioned, but it is likely PLDT's wireless arm Smart.
