Globe Telecom Inc. has emerged as the most reliable mobile network for the fourth straight quarter, according to Ookla.
Based on Ookla’s Speedtest Intelligence data for the first quarter of 2023, Globe obtained the highest consistency scores since the second quarter of last year.
Reliability is an elusive recognition in the industry, with only a few telecom providers from around the world getting this rating. It is also the most sought-after attribute of network performance that has a clear impact on customer experience.
Ookla data revealed Globe achieved the highest all technology consistency score of 83.39 percent in the first quarter of 2023, an improvement from the 83.13 percent it achieved in the fourth quarter of last year. Competitors followed with 81.52 percent and 75.10 percent.
Globe was hailed as the most consistent broadband in several provinces in the country for the first quarter. It secured a consistency score of 85.01 percent in Pampanga, 69.7 percent in Antique, 66 percent in Samar, 66 percent in Lanao del Sur, 60.4 percent in Leyte and 59.5 percent in Eastern Visayas.
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, and 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload for fixed networks.
Globe also topped the “all technology availability” with a score of 93.18 percent in the first quarter of 2023, up from 92.38 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022. Its score bested competitors which were at 91.88 percent and 91.64 percent.
Availability identifies the network in which users spend the highest percentage of their time on all technology and is based on coverage scans taken on Android devices.
