A new report from the internet performance firm Ookla has given TNT a top honor. The network received the award for “Best Mobile Latency” in the Philippines, based on data collected from January to June of 2025.
Latency refers to the tiny delay before a data transfer begins after an instruction is given. Think of it as the reaction time of your internet connection. TNT posted the best result in this category, with a median delay of just 45.89 milliseconds. A lower score indicates a more immediate, snappier connection.
This level of responsiveness makes a noticeable difference in daily smartphone use. Online games that demand quick reflexes, such as popular multiplayer battles or first-person shooters, run more smoothly. Video streams start faster and are less likely to pause to load.
The benefit extends beyond entertainment. Video conferences feel more natural, and live interactive events like shopping streams or auction-style sales become more reliable. Even quick tasks like loading a webpage or sending a message feel more instantaneous.
TNT’s infrastructure is supported by Smart Communications. For those looking to try the network, TNT SIM cards and eSIMs are available through authorized sellers and on the Smart website.
If you’re with another provider but want to switch, you can keep your current phone number. The industry’s Mobile Number Portability (MNP) process allows for a seamless change to TNT.
