The latest report from mobile metrics firm Opensignal has shown that Smart Communications is still the country’s fastest operator although third telco player is making significant gains.
Globe Telecom has thrown its support behind the recent action of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to go after the sale of the illegal cell broadcaster, an equipment intended to serve the public during extreme periods of disaster.
Smart Communications also lambasted Globe Telecom for being “oblivious of the hardships being suffered by former Globe customers that ported in to Smart”, for the inability of GCash to work properly, adding that Globe was also acting with "a hint of righteousness".
Smart Communications has questioned the advisory sent by GOMO, a mobile service provider operated by Globe, that mobile number portability is not yet available for its subscribers despite the effectivity of the MNP law on Sept. 30.
The financial world could have fallen into total chaos had there been no online payment platform during the pandemic, according to a top executive of local operator Globe Telecom.
Globe Telecom unveiled on Monday, Sept. 13, a virtual amusement park called GIFLand, which features new offerings, treats and activities that are in store for Globe customers.
Opensignal said the analysis indicates that so far DITO’s entry into the Philippine mobile market is evolutionary, not revolutionary, for mobile experience because DITO’s scores were mostly similar to — or below — the overall scores of all operators, with the exception of Upload Speed Experience in both Central Metro Cebu and Metro Manila.
Nikko Acosta, Globe SVP and head of content business group, said that from minimal share of content traffic three years ago, games and e-sports went up to more than double in year-on-year traffic growth.
