The title of fastest operator in the Philippines has been claimed by DITO, with Smart losing its winning streak as of the first quarter of 2024.
Analytics company Opensignal has released its April 2024 Mobile Network Experience Report, and one of its key findings is DITO emerging as the winner. The company outperformed main rivals Smart and Globe across four categories in overall experience: video, games, download speed, and upload speed. DITO’s lead is most apparent in download speed experience, having earned a score of 32Mbps versus Smart’s 28.1Mbps and Globe’s 20.2Mbps.
Opensignal based the scores from data gathered over a period of 90 days from January 1 to March 30, 2024. During the same period, DITO has also been named by Opensignal as most consistent and most reliable, as the company’s mobile network was deemed most sufficient in allowing subscribers to connect and steadily perform tasks on their devices without disruption or noticeable lag.
When it comes to 5G, DITO is also leading in download and upload speed. The company is, however, trailing slightly behind Globe on games and videos running on 5G. Dito also needs to improve in terms of non-5G and 5G coverage, having only scored 3.3 points out of 10 in non-5G coverage and 0.3 out of 10 in 5G coverage. Smart remains the best for 5G coverage experience, but Globe is deemed the winner in best overall coverage experience.
