Internet quality in the Philippines
The average internet speed in the country has been challenged due to the lack of network infrastructures over the years. In 2017, the overall internet connection speed in the Philippines remains among the slowest in the Asia Pacific region. That is despite having the highest average daily time spent using the internet in the region.
Slow internet connectivity hampers Filipinos in their work, streaming, and downloading of videos. As of 2019, around 90 percent of the population still had a 2G mobile network connection on their phones.
The emergence of 5G network
In terms of mobile network connection, the Philippines have slowly adapted to new infrastructures to boost internet speeds. Most telecommunications companies started offering devices capable of the fifth generation of broadband mobile cellular network technology and slowly migrating their subscribers with 2G or 3G connection to 4G and even 5G connection. Although this type of connection is still limited to urban areas, developments in this field looks promising to the growing number of internet users in the country.
