Globe Telecom provides the fastest internet service in the Philippines, besting competition in terms of upload and download speeds, according to OpenSignal (http://opensignal.com), which crowdsources cell phone signal strength. More details after the jump.
Philippine download statistics from OpenSignal showed that Globe Telecom's downlink speed in 10 selected cities in the country averaged 2.40 Mbps, much faster than competitions' average downlink speed of 1.21 Mbps and 0.84 Mbps, respectively. These cities include Manila, Quezon, Caloocan, Davao, Cebu, General Santos, Taguig, Pasig, Antipolo and Zamboanga.
Upload statistics from OpenSignal also showed that Globe Telecom's average uplink speed of 1.37 Mbps in those ten cities beats competitions' average upload speed of 0.98 Mbps and 0.42 Mbps, respectively.
"These findings reflect the superior network quality and performance that we aimed for through our modernization initiative. We will continue to optimize our already modernized network in line with our commitment of further advancing our network infrastructure to enable us to stay ahead of our customers' growing demand for bandwidth," Globe President & CEO Ernest Cu said.
Globe is the first telecommunications company in the Philippines to achieve 100% 3G coverage for its entire network, providing its customers with high-speed wireless internet for faster data interchange on their mobile devices. Globe also expects to fully equip its network with the more advanced 4G infrastructure, using the HSPA+ technology, by the end of the third quarter. This would further strengthen the company's capability to provide wonderful digital lifestyle experience to its growing 43 million customers, as they will be able to enjoy faster data connectivity even as they use bandwidth-intensive multimedia data applications, such as video and photography.
