Smart has the top records again in terms of speed in mobile networks. According to Ookla, Smart has been the fastest mobile network for three years in a row
“This award recognizes Smart’s commitment to delivering fast speeds to [its] customers across the Philippines. With this latest win, Smart has won the Speedtest Award for Fastest Mobile Network in the Philippines three consecutive years in a row,” said Ookla Chief Executive Officer Douglas Suttles in a statement.

Smart won another award again in 2019 for the SpeedTests award for mobile networks, attaining a score of 17.4. In that year, Smart has an average download speed of 19.62 Mbps and upload speeds of 9.45 Mbps
And finally, last year, Smart won Ookla’s SpeedTest Awards for the third time in a row. Achieving a score of 24.99 and upload speeds of 7.42 Mbps (which is lower than the average in 2019) and download speeds of 20.08 Mbps
