The MVP-led PLDT suffered a huge loss in its prepaid Smart/Sun base -- more than three million since 2016 -- While Globe's prepaid segment is quite steady as a lesser 450,000 Globe Prepaid subscribers had gone from the past year. Onto their mass-targeted MNVOs, Globe's TM has more count than PLDT's TNT despite both networks losing more than a million subscribers from the last year.
