There are several things that may mean the end of slow internet in the Philippines
1. The creation of DICT (Department of Information and Communication Technology. It is headed by Sec. Rodolfo Salalima. It is expected that the Department will now be able to focus on issues concerning communication, one of which is internet speed, the second lowest in Asia;
Creation of DICT
2. The MoA between PLDT and Globe for bilateral localized IP peering last June 2016 We are happy that this went through despite long periods of delay and acrimony. We are glad the behemoths gave way for the public good
3. The planned investment of the govt in broadband back bone; (this will need billions)
And lately this post got an invitation from a business acquaintance to be a consultant and even investor in their group. They will have a jv with the 40th wealthiest men in USA to bring faster internet in the Philippines What is it kaya?
He refused to email me or give me details and we have yet to meet on Tuesday noon. Watch out for this. I hope he and I can deliver.
I can start being a critic and a pain in the neck of NTC and DOTC to start being part of the solution
Faster and Cheaper Internet

From Business World - Pres Aquino signs into law RA 10844 which creates DICT
The House Bill 6198 which seeks to create a stand alone Department of Information and Technology was forwarded to the OP last May 10, 2016. and signed into a law last May 23, 2016 as RA 10844 It was approved by the House of Reps in third and final reading in October 2015. It was second time that such bill was passed. The House failed to transmit this to the OP. Pnoy saw no urgency for such a measure (What when we have the slowest internet speed in the Philippines)
The bill consolidates the IT related offices under DOST and DOTC. The DOTC simply becomes a stand alone department of Transportation (so that it can focus on the Trains)
The new department it is hoped can address the slow internet speed in the Philippines
