#fastest 5G Philippines

DITO Telecommunity underwent its 5th and final technical audit in its commitment to ensure at least 84% population coverage in the Philippines. Globe has officially launched Starlink's satellite-to-mobile service in the Philippines after receiving approval from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), making it the first local telecom operator to commercially offer direct-to-device satellite connectivity in the country. The launch comes as the Philippines continues to face connectivity challenges due to its geography and frequent natural disasters. The Philippines remains among the slowest countries in transitioning away from 3G networks, with most mobile users still relying on older devices that do not support newer voice technologies. Compared to neighboring countries, the Philippines trails behind Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand in VoLTE adoption. GSMA Intelligence estimates VoLTE penetration in the Philippines could rise to 43.2% this year. PLDT’s extensive nationwide network infrastructure allows more households across the Philippines to access fiber prepaid services. Not long ago, the Philippines have always been reported as among having the slowest internet in the Sount-East Asian region.
