フィリピンの通信エリア

フィリピン の数値が意味すること

重要な数値は2つあり、どの会社も引用するのはそのうち1つだけです。一般的な速度は34 Mbps。調子のいいときがどれくらいかを示す数字です。

読む価値があるのは10パーセンタイル、8 Mbpsのほうです。駅の上の基地局が混み合い、周りの全員が同じ電波につながっている、その日の下位1割のときの速度です。中央値が高くて下限が低い国は、本当に必要になるその瞬間まではみごとに動く国だということです。

ビデオ通話やテザリングが欠かせない旅なら、一般的な速度ではなく混雑時の数値を基準に計画してください。

フィリピンで回線が混んだときに起きること

混雑は故障ではなく、火曜の夜です。問題は、そのときeSIMに何ができるかで、たいていの旅行用eSIMの答えは「何もできない」です。国ごとに卸契約が1つ、ネットワークが1つ、路上に立ったまま他社のeSIMをもう1枚買う以外に逃げ道がありません。

ここではOrbisloの通信はGlobe、Smartを通ります。いま乗っているネットワークが劣化したら、旅行の途中でも、お客様が頼まなくても別の回線へ移します。そのときに邪魔をするのではなく、あとからお知らせします。

• The National Telecommunications Commission has set 31 December 2026 as the deadline for decommissioning 3G nationwide, with 2G to follow. Its engineers say emergency numbers and police hotlines remain reachable through the change.
• By late September 2025 DITO and Globe had already switched off 3G, and Smart had committed to do so by the end of that month. The information technology department tied the move to cutting the IMSI catchers used by scammers.
• DITO has no 2G network and has retired 3G, so a phone that cannot use 4G has nothing to connect to on DITO. Globe and Smart agreed to work with the regulator and the information technology department on phasing out 2G.

フィリピンの5G

• Smart launched commercial 5G on 30 July 2020 for postpaid customers, starting in business districts including Makati, Bonifacio Global City, Araneta City, Ortigas, SM Megamall, Mall of Asia and Clark Green City in Pampanga.
• Globe added 1,549 new 5G sites in 2025, taking 5G coverage above 98 percent in key cities and to 80 percent in 151 further towns.
• PLDT reported that 5G traffic on Smart's network rose 84 percent year on year in the first half of 2025, while the number of 5G devices on the network jumped 46 percent in a single quarter.
