Faster and cheaper internet access for progress
We post here the Slideshare of Sen Bam Aquino on internet speed in the Philippines:
Internet in the Philippines is 2nd to the slowest in Asia only, only ahead of Afghanistan, and one of the most expensive?!.While our neighbors have internet speed exceeding 100 mbps, our internet, like our EDSA traffic, is painfully slow? Why? Let us campaign and complain to legislators, LGU leaders and NTC. They have a mandate to give citizens to better IT technology.Are the regulators regulating? Are the telcos and the regulators on friendly terms?
Faster and Cheaper Internet

Mahal ang internet sa PHL

Analysis and proposed solutions on slow internet speed in the Philippines ( 7 out of 10 Filipinos have no internet access)
Philippines September 27, 2015
From Rappler Technology Features
Why is internet speed slow in the Philippines? The answer does not look simple. As with other problems, the problem's causes are systemic
This is featured in Rappler and a result of interview with Bayani Lara, Supervising Science Research Specialist at the Department of Science and Technology's Advance Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI) and part of the team that runs the Philippine Open Internet Exchange (PHOpenIX).
1 Lack of IP peering as between Globe and Smart, that means that in order for the two system to talk, the system has to get out of the country and say be rerouted to Hong Kong (this jibes with an earlier analysis that PLDT does this)
From Reddit - How PLDT keeps internet speed deliberately slow
2. The solution would be to have a central internet exchange, but the backbone owner says that this would give undue advantage to small players.
