Globe Telecom, Inc. said 5G technology users have increased by 12.9% to more than 700,000 in May from just the month before.

“The entry of affordable 5G-capable mobile devices has also made it possible for more people to use the technology,” said Joel R. Agustin, senior vice-president for Globe’s program delivery.

“We will make our 5G presence more felt in Visayas and Mindanao in the coming months,” he added.

Globe had over 560,000 users on 5G devices in March, 620,000 in April, then to over 700,000 in May or a 12.9% rise over the previous month.

“There was an average of 11.8% increase in device count in the last two months,” said Globe.

Globe’s 5G network now covers at least 88% of the National Capital Region.

According to Ookla, the company behind Speedtest, Globe’s 5G network was the “most available” to users in the first three months of the year.
