Philippine internet slowest in ASEAN, way below average

An infographic by ASEAN DNA claims to have recent data obtained between March and April 2014, and it compares the average internet speeds of countries around the world and those that are in the ASEAN. Results find that the Philippines is way below the average in Asia and in the whole world, and in the infographic, we are seen trailing as the slowest.

ASEAN INTERNET SPEED

Yugatech 728x90 Reno7 Series

Seen above, you can see that our average internet speed is at 3.6 mbps, while Singapore goes in at 61 mbps, topping everyone in the graph off. The average speeds of all the other ASEAN countries are at somewhere near 10 mbps while it’s at around 15 mbps globally.

If the Philippines continues at this pace, it seems that our internet speed will be truly left behind despite the expensive costs when compared to our neighboring countries.

    I’m guess it’s the technology being used here in the Philippines the reason why the internet speed sucks.

    Recently, I bought a hosting and I was surprised my connection was detected as fraud. I’ve contacted the hosting provider and they said my ISP, which is PLDT(I will mention that here) is using an old (something), which I have no idea.

    So, I’m assuming they’re still using some sort of old technology in both distributing the connections to their subscribers and perhaps at their end.

    They maybe in the process of upgrading, but when it will be implemented and pass to the subscribers.

    All of you are stupid. Yeah, a good reason why the Philippines is so shitty is because of the government but a greater reason that outweighs the bad governance is the intelligence of the Pinoys. Let’s be frank, people here are lazy and dense. With that, there is absolutely no room for improvement. It’s not the price guys, it’s your “technology” if that’s what you want to call it lol

    only shows the “MONOPOLY” here in our country.
    or simply just what most of our fellow Filipinos say: “GANID SA TUBO”

      and take note.. the unli bundle plans of these telcos are not really “unlimited” as they say..

      and yet most of the products/services here in ph are controlled by only few.. namely: MVP group, SMB group et.al.

    I had ang lte connection here on Australia for $71 for my phone with telstra and I got 40-50mbps while $40/unlimited for my home internet on the speed of upto 20mbps. Take note, adsl pa lang sya hindi pa yung fibre to the premise (nbn) $120/up to 100mbps. Ang problema kasi sa atin hindi matino ang mga kumpanya ng telcos. Garapalang dinadaya ang mga ko consumers sasabihin na unlimited yung offer nung plan tapos pag nagexceed ka sa bandwith bigla nilang idodown yung speed ng internet mo. Bait and switch!!

    Im here using 2nd package from UNIFI by TELEKOM MALAYSIA. 10mbps worth RM 199 (USD 56.85) per month.

    BTW 10mbps (megabit per second) is actually speed is 1 mega bytes per second.

    That’s the reason I don’t get mad when I hear that Philippines is the turtle of Asia. How can you confront someone when he’s telling you his observation view about Philippines and this of products seemed a validation of others negative’s view.

    How disappointing… nagbabayad ako ng libo tapos 3mbps lang net-speed ko… sa ibang bayan mga 10mbps (or more) na siguro mapupuntahan ng P1000 monthly subscription.

    what the fuck? China, US, and Japan aren’t ASEAN.. If you do add them on the list, South Korea has the fastest internet speed in the world
