OpenSignal just released a report comparing the performance of the 3G and 4G networks of both Smart and Globe and the results are very interesting. In terms of 4G (LTE) availability, Globe was ahead of Smart at 55.25% vs. When measuring 4G/LTE speeds, Globe came in with an average of 7.42Mbps while Smart went ahead at 9.87Mbps. Measuring 3G speeds only, Globe and Smart almost tied at 2.24Mbps and 2.12Mbps, respectively. When over-all speeds are averaged between 3G and 4G, Globe and Smart are also tied – 3.33Mbps and 3.41Mbps. This is the reason why Smart’s average dropped to 3.41Mbps despite getting a good 9.87Mbps speed on their 4G network – users spend more time on Smart’s 3G network than on their 4G network, skewing the over-all average towards the 3G speeds. For the 4G (LTE) network, Globe and Smart are statistically tied at 55.64ms and 53.32ms, respectively. However, for their 3G network, Smart got a better latency performance of 157.2ms compared to the 190.4ms of Globe.
