The latest OpenSignal report (4th quarter of 2015) is out and the Philippines is again at the bottom end of the list with a country average of 6Mbps for the LTE network.

Smart got an average of 7Mbps while Globe dropped to just 4Mbps from 10Mbps the previous quarter.

In the same report, OpenSignal revealed that Singapore is the country with the fastest average LTE speeds at 37Mbps with Singtel as the fastest telco at 40Mbps. South Korea is the country with the highest coverage (97% time on LTE) with LGT (South Korea) having the highest LTE coverage at 99.6%.

Subscribed to 7mbps Globe Tattoo Home LTE, average speed hardly reached 0.5mbps!!! I can only have a decent speed after midnight up to around 5 in the morning then back again to worst (-_-) Speed-tested almost everyday for already two months now, no improvements! Location – downtown Davao City less than a kilometer from a Globe LTE Tower.

Actually, I’d be happy if they could have those speed at a consistent basis nationwide. Many aread struggle to even stay connected.
