PLDT, Globe in race to modernize networks

Amid mounting complaints about slow internet service in the Philippines, the country’s two major telecom companies, Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) and Globe Telecom, said they are investing heavily in network expansion and technology upgrades to provide better and faster service to their customers.

This comes after a lawmaker urged telecommunication companies to look into ways on how to improve the country’s poor internet connection which is crucial to economic growth.
