Akamai’s latest internet speed results show that the Philippines now averages 4.5Mbps for the 4th quarter of 2016.

This is higher from the 4.2Mbps the previous quarter (see report). This is a 44% increase from 2015.

However, the Philippines dropped in rankings to No. 108 from No. 103. The Philippines was ahead of India (4.1Mbps) but is now at 5.6Mbps, leaving us at last place.

The Philippines is also now the slowest in the South East Asia region.
