Yesterday, Globe Telecom boasted the fruition of their recent efforts (not to mention investments) in expanding their network’s reach in the country. In the press conference, Globe President Ernest Cu stated that the Ayala-led telco now has 100% coverage for 3G and is looking to do the same feat for 4G/LTE in the next 90 days.
According Ernest Cu, Globe Telecoms will be spending up to USD200 million, or a third of the telco’s 2014 capital expenditure budget (USD600 – 650 millon) this year for the modernization of their network infrastructure.
Globe’s network upgrades this year involve laying out additional fiber optic cables spanning to 9400 kilometers, and increasing the number of cell sites in the country, which is expected to reach at least 6500 by the end of the year, 700 of which are 4G/LTE cell sites.
“Our transformation journey does not end with the 3G and 4G technologies. We will continue to improve our network’s infrastructure to accommodate our customers’ fast-paced digital lifestyle needs,”
– Ernest Cu, CEO of Globe Telecoms
In line with his statement above, Cu mentioned that Globe plans to allot roughly the same amount of money (USD100 – 200 million) next year to fuel the telco’s effort to further enhance the service through network upgrades.

i am surprised people still use globe as internet isp considering their dreaded data capping!
kahit pa gawin nila 3g at 4g ang internet nila kung may data capping naman, wala din saysay
Ano na naman tong palabas na ito #Globe? Matatapos na ung contract namin eh di man lang kami nakinabang ng ayos sa Internet nyo, tpos ngayon may cap pa. Pupusta ako lalake ang lugi nyo ngayon kc lilipat sila sa Smart.
May LTE nga sa area namin, nagoverselling naman kayo. WALA DIN.
Are you sure Globe? No 3G Signal in Hinabangan. Only 2G dial ups here.
LOL. 100% coverage of 1/5 signal.
LTE – Limited To Edge
No 3G signal in Brgy. Kayquit 1, Indang, Cavite
Kahit di na muna nila ayusin ng 3G 4G LTE nils… Basta ayusin na lang nila ng Customer Service nila….
Another mis-leading info ng globe 100% 3G coverage of what area? baka Ayala Ave lang? Pota maniniwala pa ba tayo sa mga kagaguhan ng smart at globe kasing gagaling ng PR man ng china ang mga publicist nyan… Iba ung sinasabi sa tunay na nangyayari at naiimplement.
In their dreams.. Carmona Cavite walang 3G at san pedro sa may san antonio wala rin puro edge lang bwahahaha tatapusin knlng contract ko until may diko na ito renew walang kwneta ang postpaid ng globe! !!
Un their dreams.. Carmona Cavite walang 3G puro edge lang bwahahaha tatapusin knlng contract ko until may diko na ito renew walang kwneta ang postpaid ng globe! !!
Not true. I use my data on major roads and places in the metro. While there is an LTE or 3G icon, I guess it only works 70% of the time. Parts of edsa has horrible data service. I hear smart has better and stable data coverage. If only all my contacts switch , I would too.
Really? I just went to Binan Laguna last Sunday and I wasn’t able to connect to any data network at all.
hahahahaha, 100% spam coverage 24/7… powtang kompanya!
Pathetic Globe! There is no 3G signal in my mom’s place in Tiaong, Quezon. To think that she lives just along a major highway. Maybe you’re dreaming when you said you have 100% 3G coverage. Duh! Wake up and atop lying?
In 3 months, Globe is promising what Smart has already done 3+ months ago. Pfft!
Waka waka lang yan, globe mabilis maningil
Not true. We only have EDGE here in San Roque, Northern Samar
I noticed that they are not actually improving 4G-LTE but 4G-HSPA+ … And HSPA+ is not part of true 4G…
Actually better. H+ ng Globe is 6-8mbps sa good spots without draining the battery too much.
Prefer ko better H+ speeds than actual LTE. Ano ba meron sa obsession sa LTE?
Mas ok parin for now coverage ng Smart pero pagod na ako sa bullshit nila. Too much bullshiting lalo na sa postpaid na walang contract.
I hope they mean all the islands here that are stuck with poor signal or little 3G , those areas really need LTE
