Overall download speeds in Mindanao went up by 5 percent.
Globe is currently aiming to replicate their efforts in other parts in the country where they are expanding and upgrading its network.
“Our collaboration with Facebook Connectivity has been instrumental in driving significant network improvements for our customers’ experience. We have seen that our customer experience has improved and is on par with global top tier telcos. We will continue to work together to identify opportunities to improve connectivity, especially as Globe rolls out 5G technology in the different regions of the Philippines,” said Joel Agustin, Globe Senior Vice President for Program Delivery, Network Technical Group.
