Philippine internet slowest in ASEAN, way below average

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.

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.

kung titingnan mo the only reason the average is high is because the highest is at 61mbps (do not count US, China and Japan since they are not in ASEAN probably just used for reference), that 61mbps was enough to pull the average very high (only two other ASEAN countries went above the average). if you remove singapore and only count the 9 countries, the average is only around 7mbps

In saudi kayang ma attain yung speed na 20 mbps...

pero depende rin sa location mo,

sa 20mbps kahit HD video streaming sa you tube walang buffer hataw kaagad yung video/movies na panunuurin mo!

ang sarap mag download tuloy kaya lang ang disadvantage kung mabilis yung connection mo in our experience mapapabayaan mo na yung typical household routine mo.....


when we moved to another place near city/business district hinde na makuha yung speed na 20mbps.

mga 5-6mbps nalang medyo mabagal sya as compare sa dati namin connection pero still mas mabilis pa rin kung  i compare mo sa DSL connection natin sa pilipinas!

natatawa nalang ako sa mga reply. read people. it says ASEAN, of course others countries will not be included in the graph since its only for ASEAN

there are 10 countries in the graph that are ASEAN, if you do the math, you will realize that only those 10 countries were counted on the figures mentioned (hindi sinama ang US, China, Japan)

Philippines - 3.6
Laos - 4.0
Indonesia - 4.1
Brunei - 4.9
Myanmar - 4.9
Malaysia - 5.5
Cambodia - 5.7
Vietnam - 13.1
Thailand - 17.7
Singapore - 61

average of those 10 is 12.4
average of 9 excluding Singapore is 7.06, meaning because of the very high speed of Singapore, it was enough to pull up the average by 5mbps, which is almost 3/4 of the 7.06 average of the other countries

Actually,  when you account for the logistics involved, the main reason for our slow internet is being an archipelago in the middle of nowhere. It is a shame that Indonesia has a higher average than us, but Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia should at least be performing at similar levels as Vietnam and Thailand.

not really were OVERPAYING for the service, yun yung problema, overpaying na nga sablay sablay pa serbisyo, they should charge us for the actual value of the service they provide, kaw ba sir gusto mo imbes na P15 and LRT maging P150 pero ang hirap ganun pa rin?

until you hit the CAP, but LTE satin is still WAY Over priced compared to other LTE Services Globally

pero yung isyu dito is Non-Mobile based Broadband like DSL or CABLE Internet meaning the broad band we have at HOME and BUSINESSES in comparison to how much ISPs in other countries charge customers for the service(and its quality) they provide
