Two decades later, the time for 3G to go has arrived, and the Philippines would be among the countries to follow this trend. As late as 2021, around 82 percent of 3G-only users in the Philippines possess 4G-enabled phones, but do not have 4G subscriptions. Not only is 3G coverage more extensive in the Philippines than 4G and 5G, not everybody could afford to migrate their everyday devices to higher-end models. While people might be expected to change phones every 2 to 3 years, the average lifespan of cars in the Philippines would be 15 years. The data suggest that 4G networks in the Philippines are capable of delivering fast download speeds but slows down as more people are using it. It's been 6 months since OpenSignal released a State of LTE Report with the Philippines getting an average of 8.59Mbps. This puts the Philippines in the 71st place (or 4th from the last) in the ranking of 75 countries for this report. In terms of 4G availability, the Philippines ranked 72nd (out of 75) with 52.77% LTE coverage ( the percentage of the time that users can connect to a 4G network).
