More customers in Batangas, Bohol, Bukidnon, Davao del Sur, Davao del Norte and seven other provinces will now have better access to Globe’s 4G LTE network following the completion and modernization of several sites in the last six months.
The company upgraded to 4G LTE from the old 3G network at least 507 sites all over Batangas province. Globe has also migrated 488 locations in Metro Manila and 450 sites in Cebu to 4G LTE, the new standard of mobile data.
“These network improvements will bring better call, SMS and data browsing services to our customers especially in areas that need connectivity the most. As we have promised since the start of the year, we really intend to make 4G LTE more pervasive not only in Luzon but in more areas also in Visayas and Mindanao,” said Joel Agustin, Globe SVP for Program Delivery, Network Technical Group.
