Based on Ookla's study of Speedtest Intelligence data for the 3rd quarter of 2022. Android, Apple, and Samsung users in the Philippines had 35% to 75% faster speeds while connected to Smart, regardless of 5G, LTE, or network technology compared to the next top mobile provider.
“Speed has always been the key metric of customer experience especially now that all urban areas in the country have mobile coverage. Having the fastest speeds gives Smart subscribers the best customer experience and game-changing advantage as they go about their work or school, grow their business, or enjoy their daily dose of entertainment,” said Francis E. Flores, SVP and Head of Consumer Wireless Business-Individual at Smart.

According to data from Ookla, Android devices performed 59% faster on the Smart network (across all technologies) and up to 35% faster on Smart LTE compared to the leading competitor network.
In contrast, Apple devices were 75% faster on the Smart network (across all technologies), 57% faster on Smart 5G, and 56% faster on Smart 4G/LTE. iPhones recorded speeds that were 75% faster on the Smart network (all technologies) and 57% faster on the Smart 5G and 4G/LTE networks.
Samsung devices were 69% quicker on the Smart network (across all technologies), 58 percent faster on the Smart 4G/LTE network, and 45% faster on the Smart 5G network.
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.
Non-Smart subscribers can switch and experience the power of Smart without changing their number through Mobile Number Portability, a service that can be conveniently booked via https://smart.com.ph/Pages/mobilenumberportability and at Smart Stores nationwide.
