A report from Ookla Speedtest shows the different Internet speeds in all of Asia and around the globe. Without much of a surprise, Philippines is still at the tail of the list.
The rankings are published on netindex.com which compares the consumer download speed globally between April 18 and May 17 of this year. The list is currently topped by Singapore with 121.81 megabits per second (Mbps) of download speed followed by Hong Kong with 102.63Mbps. As for the Philippines, it’s all the way down the line with 3.65Mbps for its average broadband speed. Do keep in mind that the average speed is at 23.3Mbps.
As for the upload speed, the average is at 10.59Mbps and we’re at an even slower rate of 1.53Mbps. What’s more disappointing is that we’re one of the countries that pays the most expensive for our connection with an average value of $18.18 as opposed to the global average amount of just $5.21.
Below is a list of Asian countries ranked with Ookla’s household speed index as of May 2015:
1. Singapore – 121.81 Mbps
2. Hong Kong – 102.63 Mbps
3. Japan – 82.12 Mbps
4. South Korea – 59.77 Mbps
5. Macau – 50.66 Mbps
6. Taiwan – 50.59 Mbps
7. Thailand – 19.82 Mbps
8. Mongolia – 17.92 Mbps
9. Vietnam – 17.70 Mbps
10. Bangladesh – 9.86 Mbps
11. Cambodia 9.04 Mbps
12. Nepal 8.63 Mbps

These reports aren’t new to our ears since there hasn’t been much of an improvement from late last year where we’ve been reported to have an average of 3.5Mbps. Our lawmakers have also done some investigations regarding this, but it looks like nothing’s still happening as of the moment.
