Best upload speeds, download speeds, and latency experience!

In a statement, Smart said it received the top award from umlaut. The PLDT wireless unit noted it has been a consistent winner since 2019.

Aside from this, Smart was also recognized for having the best-rated upload speeds, download speeds, and latency experience.

Our investments over the years in strengthening our integrated fixed and wireless networks have enabled us to deliver enhanced mobile services to our subscribers across the country, said PLDT and Smart Network Head Eric Santiago.

Umlaut said Smart posted an overall score of 745 out of 1,000 points. The report, which included 1.9 billion samples collected from February to July 2023, also showed Smart was ahead in terms of mobile HD/UHD video, gaming, and OTT voice classes.

As of the end of June 2023, the PLDT Group has further expanded its total fiber footprint to over 1.1 million kilometers, consisting of international and domestic fiber. This fiber infrastructure supports Smart’s mobile network, which covers around 97 percent of the population with 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G.

We will continue to fortify and optimize our network, utilizing the latest technologies to make it more resilient and responsive to the needs of our customers. These will also support our vision to become the undisputed network leader in the Philippines, delivering innovative solutions in the most cost-effective ways, Santiago said.

Smart and Umlaut recently worked together to ensure a seamless customer experience when the Philippines hosted the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 (FIBAWC), specifically in the Mall of Asia Arena, Smart-Araneta Coliseum, and Philippine Arena, as well as the hotels of delegates and international media guests.
