Internet quality in the Philippines

Of the countries in the Asia Pacific, the Philippines' average internet connection speed was ranked the lowest in 2017. An adequate  broadband internet connection requires a minimum of 25 Mbps for downloads, and 3 Mbps for uploads. Above 20 Mbps connection speeds allow swift web surfing, HD content streaming as well as fast downloads. 

The need for better internet speed for Filipinos

Slow internet connectivity hampers Filipinos in their work, streaming, and downloading of videos. As more Filipinos use the internet, the availability of more reliant internet service providers or network providers at any given time is more critical than ever. In terms of mobile network connection, the Philippines have been slow to adapt to fourth generation of broadband mobile cellular network technology. As of 2019, around 90 percent of the population still had a 2G mobile network connection on their phones.
