TNT subscribers can expect smoother gaming, clearer video calls, and more seamless streaming after Smart Communications — the network powering the brand — was recognized by Ookla for having the Best Mobile Latency in the Philippines.
Latency measures how fast data travels across a network, with lower latency translating to quicker response times — a critical factor for mobile gaming, livestreaming, and other real-time online activities.
According to Ookla’s analysis of Speedtest Intelligence data for Q1–Q2 2025, Smart posted a median latency of 45.89 milliseconds, leading all mobile networks across all technologies.
“TNT’s value-packed services powered by an award-winning mobile network put it in the best position to bring fun or ‘saya’ to today’s generation of gamers, streamers, and content creators,” said Lloyd R. Manaloto, first vice president at Smart.
Debbie M. Hu, first vice president and head of wireless networks at Smart, said the recognition reflects the company’s ongoing efforts to deliver consistent performance nationwide.
“Behind every seamless game, binge-watching session, or livestream is a strong and responsive network. We take pride in ensuring that TNT subscribers enjoy consistent, lag-free connectivity for the activities that matter to them most,” she said.
The improved latency means mobile gamers can execute moves more accurately in competitive matches, while online sellers and shoppers benefit from real-time transactions.
Streamers and binge-watchers can also expect fewer pauses and interruptions, and students and professionals can enjoy smoother online classes and meetings.
Consumers can upgrade their experience by switching to TNT through physical SIMs, eSIMs, or via the Smart Online Store. Users from other networks may also transfer to TNT without changing their number through Mobile Number Portability (MNP).
