PH cited for improvement in Internet speed 25 SHARES Share it! According to Ookla’s Speedtest Global Index Report of February 2018, the download speeds improved from 7.44Mbps (mobile broadband) and from 7.91Mbps (fixed broadband) that were recorded in July 2016. Speedtest by Ookla is the global leader in Internet performance testing and consumer-initiated network diagnostics with over 10.2 billion speedtests clocked worldwide. The improvement in the Philippines’ Internet speed may be attributed to President Duterte’s repeated calls for telcos to improve their services. Internet speed and availability are also expected to improve even further with the implementation of DICT’s National Broadband Plan and the government’s call for a third major telco player.
