According to the Ookla analysis of Speed Intelligence data, Smart Communications, Inc. is the fastest mobile network for Apple, Samsung, and Android devices for Q3 2022.
The report reveals that the users of Android, Apple, and Samsung in the Philippines experienced between 35 to 75% faster speeds while connected to the Philippine mobile telco.
“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. The latest Ookla figures reaffirm Smart as the Philippines’ superior mobile network, which puts us in the best position to empower Filipinos to live more in an increasingly digital age.”

Truly Rely on the Philippines’ Best Mobile Network
The latest Ookla data comes on the heels of Smart receiving recognition from Ookla as the country’s best Mobile Network from Q1-Q2 2022.
To earn recognition, Smart had to top Fastest Mobile Network and Best Mobile Coverage in the Ookla Speedtest Awards from Q1-Q2 2022. The Philippine telco did so with a Speed Score of 62.22 and 794, in Fastest Mobile Network and Best Mobile Coverage, respectively.
“Being declared the Philippines’ Best Mobile Network means that Filipinos can truly rely on Smart for the best user experience – from making video calls to loved ones and friends, uploading heavy files at work, attending online classes, sharing your passion projects on social media, streaming videos and music on the go, and so much more,” said Flores.
