#Opensignal mobile network performance

In OpenSignal's latest Mobile Network Experience Report for April 2020, Smart outperformed Globe in 6 out of 7 categories, including the first-ever Games Experience category. Nonetheless, Globe has shown notable improvements across the board. This month's Mobile Network Experience Report sees two additional categories: Games Experience and Voice App Experience. Focusing solely on 4G performance, Smart almost reaches OpenSignal's very good rating at 62.4 points while Globe only manages to get a fair rating with 43.7 points. According to the results, both networks offer very poor performance, with Smart scoring 36.9 points, and Globe only slightly behind at 35.9 points. However, both networks' overall performance was very poor, while their 4G performance managed to reach the poor rating. 4G Availability Lastly, OpenSignal compared both networks' 4G availability based on the % of time available.
