Globe Telecom Inc. said Wednesday that its mobile data rates have dropped by nearly 60 percent since 2019, attributing the reduction to intensified industry competition and sustained network investment over the past six years.
The company also reported a 17-percent decrease in mobile data rates between 2024 and 2025. This shift allows customers to “stream, learn, work, and connect” at more affordable rates, reflecting how infrastructure improvements and pricing strategies are extending the value of every peso, the company said.
“We’ve always believed that access to reliable internet should be within reach of every Filipino,” said Globe president and chief executive Carl Cruz.
“Our role is to remove barriers, whether they’re cost, location, or complexity. That’s the only way we move forward together,” said Cruz.
According to the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), broadband prices across the country have also improved dramatically. For Globe prepaid fiber users at the P999 monthly tier, the price per megabit per second (Mbps) has dropped by 50 percent, with speeds doubling from 50 Mbps to 100 Mbps.
