Improvements are also seen in the Philippines’ average fixed broadband download speeds, which was 32.73Mbps last January from the 31.44Mbps of December 2020. Albeit, out of 140 countries, the ranking remains unchanged at 100th place.

As per Ookla, the fastest country with the fastest fixed broadband speed is Singapore, followed by Hong Kong and Thailand.

The improvement in the Philippines’ internet situation can be attributed to internet service providers’ (ISP) push to increase and improve its infrastructure.

Previously, PLDT-Smart announced that they had added new 5G base stations to improve fixed and wireless networks. They are also investing billions of pesos in improving their services.

The competition sparked by players like DITO Telecommunity and Converge ICT has also pushed the entire industry to improve their services.
