As the country continues is push for 5G, Smart is happy to report a sustained increase in average monthly 5G traffic in 2023 thanks to its award-winning 5G network. For 2023, Smart’s average 5G data traffic almost doubled by as much as 95% compared to the previous year, with a 16% increase in average monthly 5G data traffic for the fourth quarter of 2023 alone.
Some of the key factors for this growth were the availability of new, more affordable 5G devices and the continued push of Postpaid Unli5G Signature plans.Â
“As we strive to continue delivering the best mobile experience to our customers, we also ensure that our offers are value-packed and relevant, and that we are also able to make the latest handsets more accessible for our subscribers to make it easier for them to upgrade,” Smart Head of Consumer Wirless Business Alex Caeg said.
Supporting this is the recent recognition by Opensignal for the Best 5G Coverage Experience in the Philippines, where Smart to covers 97% of the population with its 5G Network–which also includes PLDT’s 1.1 million kilometer fiber infrastructure.
“Coverage is key to 5G adoption. Our latest citation from Opensignal is a testament to Smart’s commitment to expand the reach of our network across the Philippines. These efforts are also bearing fruit, as can be seen in the increase in our 5G data traffic, which has practically doubled,” Caeg added.Â
