According to the April 2024 report released by Opensignal, the third telco player was "the most awarded operator," securing 10 out of 14 awards.

DITO is now the "new outright winner" of the Download Speed Experience award, ending Smart’s dominance, with a score of 32Mbps versus the latter's 28.1Mbps. DITO also maintained its Upload Speed Experience Award.

As it continues to ramp up its 5G network, DITO also bagged the 5G Download Speed and 5G Upload Speed awards.

Opensignal added that DITO won the on-demand Video Experience. DITO and Globe are joint winners of the 5G Video Experience and the 5G Games Experience award.

DITO's strong showing is impressive, especially given that it only launched commercial services back in March 2021. This means that DITO has had less time to roll out its network than its more established rivals, which helps explain why it trails for both coverage experience metrics. Globe was the most awarded operator in 2023, but in 2022 that distinction belonged to Smart, Opensignal’s report read.

Here's how the three major telco players performed:
