PH mobile, fixed broadband speeds are faster in June

The internet speed in the Philippines for both mobile and fixed broadband improved in June as local telecommunication companies aim to outsmart the competition and gain more subscribers.

According to Ookla’s Speedtest Global Index, mobile internet speed in the country jumped by 11% to 21.41 Mbps in June from 19.26 Mbps in May. Likewise, fixed broadband speed by 15% to 68.94 Mbps in June from 60.09 Mbps in May.

However, Ookla said that the Philippines has a long way to go before it meets the global median speed of 31.01 Mbps.

Connectivity insights provider Ookla also reported that the Philippines jumped three notches to 88th among 139 economies for mobile internet speed. On the other hand, the country climbed five places to 53rd in a list of 182 nations for fixed broadband speed.

In June, Ookla principal industry analyst Sylwia Kechiche said the entry of telco newcomer Dito Telecommunity Corp. contributed to improving the internet speed across the Philippines.

“Our analysis suggests that Dito’s entry, combined with the regulatory changes, resulted in more network investment and an overall improvement in the 4G coverage and performance across all operators,” Kechiche said.

Last week, Dito said that it had registered more than 10 million subscribers as of July, closing in on its target of reaching at least 12 million by the fourth quarter.
