PLDT remains to be the undisputed fastest fixed network in the Philippines with its four-peat record at the Ookla®Speedtest Awards™. The latest Speedtest Awards™ for Q1-Q2 2021 shows PLDT achieving the fastest download and upload speeds in Makati, Cebu, and Davao, with an overall speed score of 46.25 for the quarter – besting all other major internet providers in the country.
Ookla noted that the telco giant recorded top download and upload speeds of 113.2 Mbps and 136.61 Mbps, respectively. This was culled from data comparing millions of consumer-initiated tests taken on Speedtest® platforms. These include speed tests using computer devices connected to a fixed network, as well as over a Wi-Fi connection.
“PLDT’s digital services have greatly contributed to the lives of many Filipinos as we navigate the new normal of working, studying and doing things at home. The Ookla Speedtest Award™ is a recognition of our unwavering initiatives to provide the best broadband connectivity through our robust expansion and migration of our fixed network to serve more Filipino homes nationwide,” says Butch G. Jimenez, Jr., Senior Vice President and Head of PLDT Home Business.
