The Philippines may have the world's second slowest average online loading speed on desktop computers, according to search giant Google.

A report on Bloomberg cited Google's findings showing the Philippines' 15.4-second loading time was second only to Indonesia's 20.3-second time.

Bloomberg said Google's findings found the Slovak Republic the fastest in terms of loading web pages at 3.3 seconds, with South Korea second at 3.5 seconds.

The rest of the top 10 in terms of speed included (http://go.bloomberg.com/tech-blog/20...d-the-world/):


Czech Republic (3.7)
Netherlands (3.9)
Japan (4)
Denmark (4.3)
Switzerland (4.3)
Sweden (4.5)
Belgium (4.6)
Norway (4.8)

Colombia (10.2)
Peru (11.7)
Brazil (11.8)
Argentina (12.8)
Malaysia (14.3)
Venezuela (14.9)
India (15.1)
Philippines (15.4)
Indonesia (20.3)


In terms of mobile Internet, South Korea had the fastest connection, with pages loading in 4.8 seconds, followed by Denmark at 5.2 seconds.

Hong Kong was third (5.9), Norway fourth (6), Sweden fifth (6.1); followed by Estonia (6.2), Czech Republic (6.3), Japan (6.4), Romania (7.5), and Slovak Republic (7.6).

The slowest in mobile speeds was the United Arab Emirates, with an average loading time of 26.7 seconds. Those with the slowest mobile web loading times include:


Malaysia (12.7)
Indonesia (12.9)
Singapore (12.9)
Mexico (14.1)
Brazil (15.8)

Bloomberg said Google measured Web page load speeds on desktop computers and mobile devices in 50 countries with the fastest Internet connections earlier this month.

"The United States, meanwhile, was somewhere in the middle. On the desktop, it took an average of 5.7 seconds. On a mobile device it took 9.2 seconds to load, which for many folks here, feels like an eternity," it said. — ELR, GMA News

Oo, mabagal talaga internet natin.

Kaya yung mga yan wala lang mag-load ng 30-minute videos at mag-download ng ilang gig na movies.

Sa Taiwan nga 50MBPS ang connection ng kaibigan ko allowed lang sa isang computer yun e dito sa Pinas masaya ka na pag binigyan ka ng saktong 1MBPS ng provider.

Hmmm... only the bandwidth here is crappy(surprise, surprise, regulated)

latency on the other hand of (250-350 ms) is somewhat tolerable and at par with the neighbors.

Iyon ngang 1.5Mbps ADSL plan ko sa Globelines,- bigla na lang ginawang 1Mbps ng walang sabi-sabi... :twak:

15.4K:cosmo:

What is more important to point out is that internet service in the Philippines is way overpriced with listed bandwidth speeds under-delivered.
