Smart remains PH’s best mobile network

Ookla, an internationally recognized leader in network measurement and connectivity intelligence, said in its first-half report that the company delivered the fastest mobile speeds and best mobile coverage to customers in the period.

This allowed Smart to clinch the “Best Mobile Network” award. Smart also secured the same recognition last year.

Stephen Bye, president and CEO of Ookla, a division of Ziff Davis, said this only showed Smart’s "dedication to enhancing connectivity in the Philippines and ensuring consumers receive the best possible internet experience."

True to our Purpose at PLDT Group, I am proud of how we are able to evolve with our customers’ increasingly digital lifestyles and enable meaningful connections – as attested by our awards from Ookla. As the driving force behind these recognitions, our Fixed, Mobile, and Enterprise customers can rest assured that they can count on us to continuously provide them with the best network possible, said Alfredo S. Panlilio, president and CEO of PLDT and Smart.

Based on Ookla's report, Smart recorded a Speed Score of 64.25, far from its closest rival’s 39.04.

Its coverage score also reached 786, while its competitor had 769.
