It now has a better indoor penetration, wider and better coverage compared to the old 3G network.

In order to enjoy the benefits and advantages of this technology, Agustin reiterated his call to Globe customers in Pampanga, Batangas and Laguna, to shift to 5G-ready 4G LTE SIM cards now and 4G LTE capable mobile devices.
