    A new index which ranked global download speeds revealed that the Philippines has one of the slowest and most expensive broadband services in the world. Averaging only around 3.64 Mbps, the next administration and government should do something about our internet. Pass a bill, impose fines and do memorandums to internet service providers and not be taken back with their monopolies in the tech world.
    Grabe tayo ung may pinaka mababang mbps kesa sa ibang bansa. Dapat may gawin ang internet service providers natin. Mahal na nga ang bagal pa ng serbisyo. Tama lahat ng sinabi nila dito Slowest Internet Speed

    Hindi naman nakakagulat.

    What's more shocking is you're surprised na tayo nga ang slowest hehehe.

    Ironically, they want the government to step in when the current infrastructure is the result of government regulation <.<

    Letting the market do its thing would have resulted in more progress IMHO

    With only 2 companies lording it over the industry, with no foreign competitions because of the stupid Cory constitution...

    If there's a monopoly/duopoly, there's very little incentive to innovate -- what's the point? Kahit pa slowest tayo in Asia, people have no choice but to get internet connection from PLDT or Globe. imho we'd probably still be stuck with GPS/EDGE if PLDT and Globe weren't constantly one-upping each other.

    Remember the botched corruption riddled ZTE deal for a national broadband backbone?

    In hindsight, I would have preferred for that to push through even with all the kickbacks involved.
    Why? Compared to the PDAF scam which is 100% kickback, I lie to believe that ZTE deal would have an actual output.

    Not really. Restrictions like data-throttling is the start. Before you know it, we'll be back to the days when unlimited Internet is a premium.

    Correct bro. Imagine at&t, rogers, bell, telus etc. here! Kahit wag na sa speed eh, sa quality of service nalang eh. Sa globe nalang, kahit tumawag ng tumawag pero di ka HUMINGI NG REFERENCE NUMBER wala kang credits.
