Smart Takes the Lead Again as the Philippines' Fastest and Best Mobile Network

The Philippines’ biggest mobile operator, Smart, has once again set the bar high as it received the Fastest Mobile Network and Best Mobile Coverage awards in Ookla's latest report covering Q3-Q4 2022. The report is based on over 2.9 million user-initiated tests, and Smart outperformed its competitors with a Speed Score of 62.3 and a Coverage Score of 795.

Smart's strong performance is supported by its integrated fixed and wireless networks, which have enabled the company to deploy 77,200 base stations nationwide, including 7,300 5G base stations, and close to 40,000 4G/LTE base stations. With its extensive fiber network that spans more than 1.09 million kilometers in international and domestic fiber, Smart's network covers about 97% of the population with 3G, LTE, and 5G.

The Fastest Mobile Network award is a rare and prestigious citation that recognizes the company's innovation and commitment to delivering top-notch services to its customers across the country. Smart's win in both the Fastest Mobile Network and Best Mobile Coverage categories proves that it is the telco that subscribers can truly count on.

As Smart continues to empower Filipinos with its fastest speeds and widest coverage, it encourages subscribers to register their SIMs per the newly enacted SIM Registration Law. To support this effort, Smart has launched its online SIM Registration portal and ramped up its rollout of assisted SIM Registration booths and touchpoints across the country, including in government-identified remote areas.

Smart has set the bar high for mobile operators in the Philippines and continues to inspire other companies to innovate and deliver leveled-up services to their customers. As the telco that subscribers can count on, Smart is making sure that Filipinos are empowered to live more today and make the most of the moments that matter to them.
