DITO Telecommunity, the fastest-growing telco provider in the country, proved its speed superiority in 5G and overall experience as independent mobile analytics company Opensignal recognized DITO as the fastest mobile network in the Philippines, outranking Smart in the speed race.

Based on Opensignal's October 2024 Mobile Network Experience report, DITO dominated the awards and won in 14 categories, exemplifying the young telco as the country's most awarded and fastest in 5G speeds and overall experience.

In terms of speed, DITO swept all four speed awards across 5G.

Furthermore, he stressed that these awards highlighted DITO's 5G superiority as the sole telco in the Philippines with 5G Standalone (SA) infrastructure.
