According to data shared by Speedtest by Ookla on its website, internet speeds plummeted as the health crisis forced the government to implement a stay-at-home policy. ADVERTISEMENTAs an example, average download speeds for fixed broadband was at 30.77 megabits per second (Mbps) and for mobile data, at 16.68 Mbps last February 24. But as of July 13, fixed broadband is now back at 26.70 Mbps, and mobile data at 17.24 Mbps. We will share regular information based on Ookla data in this article that may assist in the understanding of this unprecedented situation,” the company said. In terms of year-on-year improvement, the Philippines’ internet speeds actually improved by 216.94 percent for fixed broadband and 127.82 for mobile broadband from July 2016 to July 2020.
