In August, Globe network achieved its strongest performance of the year, recording its highest overall score and fastest average download speed according to the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Telco Report Card. Globe's overall score improved to 81.5, up 4.4 points from January. Average download speed reached an all-time high of 45.9 Mbps, marking a 5.1% increase from July and a 26% improvement compared to the beginning of the year when it was at 36.5 Mbps.

Network quality also improved from 69.2 to 71.2, while latency held steady at 20 milliseconds. These gains were achieved through Globe's ongoing collaboration with the government, including the NTC, to enhance telecommunications services across the country. Globe's investments in network infrastructure have earned the company recognition as the Most Consistent Mobile Provider for four consecutive periods based on Ookla Speedtest Intelligence data.

The company continues to prioritize network consistency, even as it recognizes areas where customer experience still needs improvement.
