ABSTRACT
People use their cell phones for work and school. Today people want instant gratification. Everything has to be as fast as possible. Technology has improved and communication happens in an instant. This study deals with the texting speeds of two cellular networks, Globe and Smart. Text messages will be sent and received through the same network. The time it takes when the message leaves the first phone until the second phone receives it is measured. Smart sends the same message length, at a fixed place and on a time interval 2 seconds faster than Globe.
Texting speed, time of day message is sent, length of text message
INTRODUCTION
Most families only use one cellular network. One of the group’s family changed network from Globe to Smart. The reason given by the parents is that one network is better. The group wanted to determine whether their decision to change was correct.
Cellular networks base their success on the number of customers they serve at a particular area, not specifically on how fast their network is. Nevertheless, this study aims to find out the time it takes when messages are sent until they are received. It is set to determine if the quality upheld by each network could affect the speed of their services, particularly their SMS messaging service.
The objective is to compare two cellular networks (Globe and Smart) to determine if there is a significant difference in the time of receipt of text messages. This difference may influence network preference of customers.
The study is limited to the sending and receiving of text messages within the same network. The networks are the two biggest in the Philippines. The time (morning and afternoon) and place (Engineering) are factors and are also limited.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
No cell phone service provider claims to have a larger network based on physical land
