If you own a Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ with a SMART LTE SIM, then you can enjoy fast mobile data speeds in Boracay, reaching up to 400Mbps. According to Smart, this was achieved with the activation of the 4-component carrier (4CC) aggregation through their partner Huawei Technologies Philippines. In addition, Smart was able to achieve 400 to 500Mbps speeds via 4x4 Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) and 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) technology on a live and loaded network in Boracay, using the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ and software that is available to users via a software update. "This is just a preview of what can be achieved using the network that Smart is currently rolling-out and continuously improving throughout the country," said Mario G. Tamayo, PLDT and Smart Senior Vice President for Network Planning and Engineering. Smart rolled out the country's first LTE-A service in Boracay in April last year. A new poster ad from Smart Bro promotes their broadband speed to be up to 2Mbps. I fired up several internet bandwidth meters, hooked up my Smart Bro Prepaid account and positioned my laptop to get an HSDPA signal.
