79.4% of Globe users had a download speed equal to or greater than 5 Mbps and an upload speed of at least 1 Mbps. This serves as the company’s Achilles’ Heel turning it into a gentleman’s sweep. Where Smart falls short though is the Consistency Test. Average speeds are pegged at 200.43 Mbps which is a significant 79.14 Mbps greater than Globe. The last sector Smart trumps its Ookla Speedtest competition in is the 5G performance field. Those numbers aren’t too far apart – but as Dominic Torretto (Fast & Furious franchise) says it: “It doesn’t matter whether you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning.”

Smart leads in this department by only having 19 milliseconds of delay, while Globe and DITO switch places with 23 and 25ms respectively. Latency is also very important since it determines how much delay there is between action and reaction. That’s a gap almost in the double digits. The telecommunications giant leads the pack with a median speed score of 24.07 Mbps, almost a third higher than closest competitor DITO’s 16.96 Mbps and rival Globe’s 15.25 Mbps. Smart is following up on a 2021 win in the Ookla Speedtest rankings by gaining the top spot once again in the first quarter of 2022. We’ll share the details of this latest victory. The company is currently making a lot of noise with the Sun conversion, unlimited Free TikTok promos, and being the top company in the Philippines as per LinkedIn.

This may no longer come as a surprise to some, but Smart was declared by Ookla once again to be the fastest mobile internet provider in the country.
