STRONGER SIGNAL, STEADIER SERVICE
Globe recorded its strongest network performance so far in 2026 in August, according to the latest Telco Report Card of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), as the company continued to invest in network upgrades and reliability.
Globe posted an overall score of 81.5, up 4.4 points from January, while average download speed reached a 2026 high of 45.9 Mbps—5.1% faster than July and 26% higher than the 36.5 Mbps recorded at the start of the year.
Network quality likewise improved to 71.2 from 69.2, while latency remained at 20 milliseconds.
The gains come amid Globe’s sustained network investments, including ₱26.3 billion in capital expenditures in the first half of 2026, with 91% allocated to data-related initiatives.
“Customers need a network they can depend on every day, and that goes beyond speed,” said Atty. Froilan Castelo, Globe General Counsel, noting that continued investments are helping improve connectivity while acknowledging that some communities still need better service.
Globe is also strengthening network resilience through its Automated Outage Response technology, which can retain up to 50% of data connectivity during outages by automatically optimizing nearby cell sites.
The company has also expanded connectivity to underserved communities, bringing mobile services to 52 previously unserved Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs) in July and completing its commitment to activate all 180 project locations under the DICT connectivity initiative.
Globe has also been recognized as the ‘Most Consistent Mobile Provider’ for four consecutive periods, based on Ookla® Speedtest Intelligence® data covering the second half of 2024 through the first half of 2026.
