During the recently concluded DITO year-end thanksgiving, DITO Chief Executive Officer Eric Alberto announced that the young telco is now the Philippines' Fastest Mobile Network* as awarded by independent mobile analytics company Opensignal, dominating in 14 categories and outranking the two telco giants in the speed race.

"I'm honored to share with all of you that independent mobile analytics Opensignal awarded DITO as the Fastest Mobile Network in the Philippines, where we excelled in the speed race. These milestones are not just accomplishments nor mere awards; they are reflections of DITO's dedication and affirm the strength and reliability of our network," Alberto said.

Based on Opensignal's October 2024 Mobile Network Experience report, DITO stood out in the awards, earning recognition across numerous categories. This achievement highlights the young telco as the country's most awarded and fastest in 5G speeds and overall experience.

In terms of speed, DITO sweeps all four speed awards across overall and 5G. DITO confirms its superiority in 5G download speed, boasting a speed of 287.2 Mbps, nearly double Smart's figure trailing with 147.5 Mbps and easily surpassing Globe's 95.2 Mbps. Users also see the fastest overall download speeds on DITO's network at 34.6 Mbps with the two telco giants Smart and Globe behind at 28.6 Mbps and 20.9 Mbps, respectively.

2024 is indeed a break-out year for DITO. Alberto also shared the other significant milestones of DITO this year including the successful fifth and final technical audit with 86.3 percent coverage, capping off the year with 14 million subscribers, and winning back-to-back Ookla wins as the Rated # 1 Mobile Network in the country (Q3-Q4 2023 and Q1-Q2 2024) to now the Fastest Mobile Network*— DITO is indeed making strides in the Philippine telco landscape and its presence is highly felt and recognized.

As this year ends, Alberto remains steadfast in saying that DITO will continue to innovate and improve its technology because DITO's mission remains clear— to bridge the digital divide and uplift Filipino communities.

DITO backs new administration's push for universal connectivity

Tweet

One of the country’s three major telecom players, DITO Telecommunity expressed its full support for President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s marching order to boost connectivity across the Philippines.

"We promise to deliver to the new administration's goal of ensuring every Filipino thrives as the digital world grows, especially highlighted during the pandemic," DITO Chief Administrative Officer Adel Tamano said.

"We have been aggressively building our network to meet our commitments, earmarking massive investments to address Filipino consumers' rising demand for reliable and high-speed internet connectivity," he added.

In his first State of the Nation Address on Monday, President Marcos emphasized the need to push for universal connectivity as he warned the digital divide might be "more pronounced" amid the acceleration of digitalization.

"Universal connectivity will be a vital component in order to ensure that no citizen is left behind," he said.

President Marcos said he mandated Department of Information and Communications Technology Secretary Ivan Uy to develop the connectivity in remote areas and islands through the implementation of the National Broadband Plan, the common tower program, and the 'Broadband ng Masa' project.

"All relevant modes of digital transport should be utilized. These may be through a combination of terrestrial or submarine fiber optics, wireless and even satellite technology," President Marcos said.

For its part, DITO has been actively participating in the government's tower-sharing market to help bolster its reach nationwide.

After over a year of commercial operations, the third telco player has established more than 5,500 towers, connecting more than 600 cities and municipalities with quality telco services.

The first phase of its submarine cable system, which links the three major Philippine islands, has been up and running since March 2021. As of June 2022, the group has already laid out over 30,000 kilometers of fiber cable link.

DITO Chief Technology Officer Rodolfo Santiago also bared the group's plan of tapping satellite technology to reach underserved and unserved areas.

"With the expansion of our digital infrastructure, DITO is ready to help the Philippines emerge stronger from the pandemic," Santiago said.
