Globe Telecom Inc. has upgraded its network to 4G, the new standard in mobile data in Boracay, Pampanga and Laguna from the old 3G network.
“We really want to bolster further our 4G LTE presence in Visayas and Mindanao. Making our network fully 4G LTE in Boracay is a good start as we plan to do the same in more areas in the region. Our customers will start to notice a better mobile experience as the latest technology in mobile data becomes more accessible to them,” Joel Agustin, Globe senior vice president for Program Delivery Network Technical Group said.
“ To enjoy 4G LTE connection, we are asking our customers to upgrade their SIMS to the 5G-ready 4G LTE SIMs and use 4G LTE capable mobile devices so they can enjoy the best data experience,” he added.
Globe is also rushing the completion of its network modernization in Pampanga and in the three remaining towns of Laguna—Sta. Rosa, Calamba and Cabuyao—before the end of the month.
Globe is spending P70 billion this year to expand its network, higher from last year’s P60.3 billion.
