TNT subscribers can now enjoy smoother gaming and streaming experiences as its network, powered by Smart, was recognized for having the Best Mobile Latency according to Ookla®, a global leader in network intelligence and connectivity insights.
Mobile latency measures how quickly data travels over a network, and the lower the latency means the faster the response, which is a crucial factor for playing mobile games, livestreaming content, or making video calls.
Based on analysis by Ookla of Speedtest Intelligence data for Q1-Q2 2025, Ookla found that Smart led with a median latency of 45.89 milliseconds (ms) for all network technologies. This enables users to tap, click, and swipe on their favorite apps in real time.
“TNT’s value-packed services powered by an award-winning mobile network put it in the best position to bring fun or “saya” to today’s generation of gamers, streamers, and content creators,” said Lloyd R. Manaloto, First Vice President at Smart.
“Behind every seamless game, binge-watching session, or livestream is a strong and responsive network. We take pride in ensuring that TNT subscribers across the country enjoy consistent, lag-free connectivity for the activities that matter to them most," said Debbie M. Hu, First Vice President and Head of Wireless Networks at Smart.
Powered by Smart’s advanced network, TNT allows mobile gamers to make their best moves in every match without worrying about lag.
Online live sellers and shoppers can also enjoy real-time transactions, ensuring their favourite items make it to the cart without delay.
TNT’s connection also lets binge-watchers enjoy their favourite series, vlogs, and micro-dramas without buffering, while students and professionals can attend online classes or collaborate at work smoothly.
Mobile users who want to level up their gaming and streaming experience can switch to TNT by getting a TNT SIM or eSIM at accredited retailers and convenience stores nationwide or through the Smart Online Store.
Subscribers from other networks can also easily switch to TNT without changing their number through Mobile Number Portability (MNP).
