The most consistent mobile operator in the Philippines this 2022?

According to its Ookla Speedtest Intelligence data in the country, Globe achieved a nationwide consistency score of 79.45 from January to March 2022 compared to 70.43 in the same period last year. This is even higher than the 79.02 it registered during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Based on the latest data from Ookla

The data showed that Calabarzon topped the list of areas with an improved consistency score for the first quarter with 81.26, followed by Central Visayas with 73.95 and Bicol with 73.02.

To recap, the mobile consistency score is determined by the number of tests taken that are above a certain speed threshold. The higher the figures, the more likely for consumers to enjoy acceptable internet performance and quality.

Globe said that this to a better video experience for Globe customers using social media and streaming platforms such as Facebook Live, Netflix, and YouTube and those engaged in online gaming.

Apart from being the most consistent mobile operator for the first quarter of the year, Globe also won the best 5G mobile video award for the period of Q3-Q4 2021.

To help in achieving this feat, Globe said that it spent an unprecedented PHP 92.8 billion in 2021 to build 1,407 new cell sites, roll out 1.4 million fiber-to-the-home lines, and fire up more than 2,000 5G outdoor sites and in-building solutions.

This year, it will spend PHP 89 billion to build new cell sites, upgrade existing sites to 4G/LTE, accelerate the rollout of 5G connectivity, and boost the fiberization of Filipino homes nationwide.
