 ==4G (LTE)==
-Globe has 7 LTE blocks in use. Globe has deployed LTE on 700 MHz (APT B28) 15 MHz/20MHz, 900 MHz (E-GSM B8) 10 MHz, 1800 MHz (DCS B3) 10 MHz, 2100 MHz (IMT B1) 10 MHz, 2300 MHz (WCS B40) 15 MHz and 2500 MHz (BRS/EBS B41) 10 MHz/20 MHz. DCS is Globe's primary LTE band. It was used exclusively during Globe's initial LTE deployment in 2012. Globe also owns 20 MHz of 2600MHz (IMT-E B38) used for additional capacity via MFBI (or Multiple Frequency Band Indicator) but only for some devices (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G) had LTE Band 38 enabled.
+Globe has multiple LTE blocks, the ones deployed varies per area. 1800 MHz (DCS B3) was Globe's initial LTE Band. Depending on the device support, all LTE bands can serve as an anchor to Globe's 5G NSA cells.

+! Band Number (Frequency) !! Duplex Type - Bandwidth(s) !! Notes
+|-
+| 1 (2100 MHz) || FDD - 10 MHz || Refarmed from 3G starting 2020
+|-
+| 3 (1800 MHz) || FDD - 5 Mhz, 10 Mhz || Initial LTE block, added refarmed spectrum from 2G
+|-
+| 8 (900 MHz) || FDD - 10 Mhz || Refarmed from 2G and 3G
+|-
+| 28 (700 MHz) || FDD - 15 MHz, 20 Mhz || Initially 15 Mhz, some areas have widened to 20 Mhz; works as n28 in some areas due to DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing)
+|-
+| 38 (2600 MHz) || TDD - 20 MHz || On MFBI ( Multiple Frequency Band Indicator) with Band 41, to support devices with Band 38 but no Band 41
+|-
+| 40 (2300 MHz) || TDD - 15 Mhz || Usually deployed as 2 blocks of 15 MHz for a total aggregated 30 MHz Band 40
+|-
+| 41 (2500 MHz) || TDD - 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 Mhz || Up to 4 blocks of varying bandwidths depending on area; some have been refarmed as 5G NR n41; primary/preferred band of home LTE devices provided by Globe
