Ookla: Phl internet lagging in Asean
The Philippine Star
|July 25, 2024
The Philippines may be making strides in building up its internet infrastructure but the country remains a laggard in Southeast Asia, with connectivity most available only in metropolitan regions, a regional study showed.
Ookla scored the Philippines for failing to keep up with its regional peers in broadband quality, with its download speed averaging 94.42 Mbps as of the second quarter.
In comparison, Singapore registered an average internet speed of 284.93 Mbps, followed by Thailand's 231.01 Mbps, Vietnam's 135 Mbps and Malaysia's 132.72 Mbps.
Further, Ookla said the Philippines suffers from an uneven distribution of internet infrastructure. The regions with the fastest connectivity are located in Luzon, with Southern Tagalog leading the pack, turning in 99.55 Mbps for the 16 million people living in it.
