Truly rely on the Philippines’ Best Mobile Network
The most recent Ookla statistics follows Smart's historic recognition as the Philippines' Best Mobile Network - the first and only local mobile provider to win the award from Ookla since its Speedtest Awards began in 2017.
To earn this elusive recognition, Smart had to top two crucial Ookla Speedtest Awards categories, namely “Fastest Mobile Network” and “Best Mobile Coverage,” from Q1-Q2 2022. Smart emerged as the ‘Fastest Mobile Network’ with a Speed Score of 62.22, while its closest competitor posted a Speed Score of 32.48. Smart also dominated the ‘Best Mobile Coverage’ category with a Coverage 794, surpassing its closest competitor’s Coverage Score of 732.
As of end-June 2022, Smart had around 77,100 total base stations nationwide, including around 7,300 5G base stations, to support the growing mobile data needs of 3G, 4G/LTE and 5G customers from Batanes to Tawi-Tawi.
