Ookla has recognized Globe Telecom Inc. as the most consistent fixed broadband operator in 31 locations across the country for the second quarter of the year.

Consistency reflects “a percentage of a provider’s data samples that meet minimum thresholds for download and upload speeds.” The higher the consistency, the better the internet performance and quality that consumers will enjoy.
Ookla analyzes consistency among providers using a statistical method called logistic regression. This approach helps adjust the comparisons, ensuring a fair and accurate assessment.
“We will continue to strive for excellence and set new benchmarks in the industry to ensure greater digital experiences for our customers,” said Raymond Policarpio, vice president of Globe At Home Brand Management.
