there's no one putting a gun to their heads. so why would they improve it? so they're just maintaining the status quo while raking in all the cash

what we need as consumers is a way to threaten their PROFIT. that's the only way. coz the gov't is useless!

its actually fast if you buy the faster connections ie 1mbps vs 50mbps

But the prices of broadband in other countries are way cheaper. Pldt fibr is 3499 for 100mbps, Hong Kong fiber is about 3900 pesos for 500mbps. We need to open up the telco industry to foreign players and also lessen red tape.

Iirc, it takes 25 permits to put up a single cell tower. Smh.

Ang tanong. Gusto ba nang foreign players maka deal ang gobyerno amd their red tape.

Usually, di sanay yang mga yan sa mga mahahabang proseso at iba pa.

they will let small telcos to enter then in the future our big telcos will definitely purchase it. We need strict implementation or upgrading our laws in handling this telcos.
