Ookla Report: Smart Delivers the Best Mobile Coverage in the Philippines
According to the newest study by Ookla, the world leader in mobile and broadband network analytics, PLDT's mobile services arm Smart Communications, Inc. provides the Best Mobile Coverage in the Philippines.
Ookla declared Smart the winner of the Best Mobile Coverage category for Q1-Q2 2022 based on user-generated tests and scans across 2.3 million devices over 671,510 locations, with a Coverage Score of 794, exceeding its nearest competitor's Coverage Score of 734.
Ookla said in its study that the Coverage Score measures both the number of locations where an operator offers service (its footprint) and the quality of service in each location. Ookla also reported that, of the Smart subscriber scans, 99$ had general service and 90,8% had 4G Service.
