Smart Communications, along with its value brand TNT, is raising the bar for mobile connectivity in the Philippines. The provider has been recognized by Ookla for Best Mobile Latency, a key measure of how fast data travels from your device to the internet and back.
In today’s digital world, low latency isn’t just technical jargon—it’s what makes mobile gaming smoother, video calls seamless, livestreams buffer-free, and online payments instant. Based on Ookla’s analysis of Speedtest Intelligence® data from Q1-Q2 2025, Smart achieved a median latency of 45.89 milliseconds, proving its network is among the most responsive in the country.
Debbie M. Hu, Smart’s First VP and Head of Wireless Networks, said, “Connectivity should be responsive. This recognition from Ookla confirms that Smart is giving Filipinos a world-class experience.”
From gaming and eSports to remote work and online transactions, low latency is now essential for everyday digital life. Smart’s recognition underscores its ongoing commitment to improving network performance and supporting a more connected digital Philippines, aligning with the PLDT Group’s broader goal of advancing innovation and infrastructure nationwide.
