Smart completes roll-out of 250 LTE sites in Luzon

According to Ericsson (the enterprise partner/supplier of Smart), there are a total of 250 LTE sites already deployed and working in the entire Luzon area. That completes the expansion of Smart LTE in this part of the region.

That means you should be getting really good signal coverage for Smart LTE in most areas in Luzon, especially Metro Manila. This gives Smart the lead in covering most of the country with LTE connectivity. There are a total of 46 cities and 69 municipalities nationwide that has full or partial coverage to LTE under the Smart network.

For areas where there’s still no LTE coverage, Smart’s HSPA+ and 3G network should cover them.

LTE ba talaga? or HSDPA+ lang talaga… The last time I know, ang HSDPA+ is upto 42MBPS and LTE is upto 100MBPS. Eh ang smart, nasa 42MBPS lang…

Bili na lang kayo ng Ipad Mini + Plan 999 with Unlimited LTE sa Smart. Matagal naman battery ng Ipad Mini at magaan pa ito, great for traveling. Php 13,990 lang

So this confirms that are our area won’t be getting LTE signal in our area.

Good thing because me and my neighbors were planning to get LTE plans

Will be waiting for Globe or go for Globe DSL instead then..

I recently bought the LTE pocket wifi and its really great. Makati has great coverage, and my area near U belt is working really great. I just hope it stays unlimited, i hope they don’t ruin it.

Capped? Why don’t you go prepaid and go for 999/month? It is unlimited with NO bullshit. No caps, no fair usage policies.
