Globe Telecom Inc. has sustained its lead in mobile network consistency and availability in the third quarter of the year, according to the latest data from Ookla.
Ookla’s Speedtest Intelligence data said Globe sustained its second quarter leadership in mobile network consistency and availability during the third quarter, after obtaining the highest scores in All Technology Consistency with 82.55 and All Technology Availability with 92.03.
Consistency score is calculated based on the percentage of a provider’s data samples that meet the minimum 5 megabits per second (Mbps) threshold for mobile download and 1 Mbps for upload.
Smart Communications Inc. and DITO Telecommunity Corp. scored 80.82 and 70.40, respectively, in this category.
Availability identifies the network whose users spend the highest percentage of their time on all technology and is based on coverage scans taken on Android devices. Globe again emerged on top versus the 90.69 and 90.68 scores of competition.
Reliability is the most sought after attribute of network performance that has a clear impact on customer experience.
“Ookla’s latest data is proof of Globe’s commitment to delivering the most reliable mobile connectivity to its customers across the Philippines, which goes beyond just speed. Only a few mobile operators in the world have managed to attain supremacy in both consistency and availability, which translates to best-in-class experience for our customers,” said Darius Delgado, head of Globe’s consumer mobile business.
Globe has been ramping up network expansion in line with its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly UN SDG No. 9, which underscores the importance of infrastructure and innovation in driving economic growth and development. – Myla Iglesias
