He also added that Internet access should be widened to include farmers, SMEs, and the tourism sector. Telecommunications companies should also reduce Internet costs to Php300 to Php400 a month for individuals and Php300 to Php500 for families in 3 years.
Improvement of Internet and telecommunications services is one of the top 10 actionable recommendations Barcelon presented to President-Elect Duterte. This includes amending the existing Telecommunication Law (RA 7925) and passing of a law that will regulate the deliver of these services in order to make it competitive with the best in the region.

Not unless they allow new playets to come in the duopoly of globe smd pldt will never budge to give in and increase their bamdwith nor remove the capping on internet usage.
ika nga ng kant – ‘libre ang mangarap’….tumama tayo ng 5mbps internet speed na 95% reliability guaranteed, all over the philippines, php500/month at both for wireless and wired…
Another reason why i need to live in america because of the internet. You can’t download a gta game or Quantum Break for a day because philippines has slow connection like minimum 50kbps to maximum 4mbps. Also, you can’t play Agar.io, Slither.io, diep.io, or any .io games you know because they’re lagging all the time.
Kung binasa nyo sana yung link na “Top 10 actionable recommendations” Inirekomenda na gumawa ng internet cooperatives. Posible maging mura ang presyo ng internet since hindi dadaan sa PLDT, Kung bibigyan sila ng utang galing sa gobyerno para sa paglagay ng mga linya at tanggalin ang red tape sa paglagay ng cable na sinisingil ng mga municipal mayors.
10MBPS with 500GB monthly cap for PLAN999 – this is good enough for me =)
Di kelangan ng pinas faster internet. Anyway kahit sa ibang bansa may capping parin naman pag home internet. Pang torrent and games lang yan.
Kelangan ng pinas infrastructure for transportation, roads, etc going outside the metro para magkaron ng business and jobs buong pinas.
What?! Ignorante kba? Di mo ba alam na npka dami nang advantage ng mas mabilis na net pagdating sa global market? Gaya nalang ng mga multimedia arts, content creators. Di sila mkapag UL/DL ng media files na gb ang size dahil sa bagal ng net? Delayed sila sa transactions at investors coming from outside the country . Sa lazada nga lang e yung mga flash sales nila dahil yung iba e mabagal ang net, yung ibang horders na mabilis ang net e nkakapag take advantage din, sa india ang flash sales nila matagal na ang 10mins per 10000 units sold. Yang uber/grab need din ng net dyan. Mdami pang iba kaya kung sa tingin mo e games at torrent lang yan e magisip isip ka.
Puro negatibo mga komento ng mga ito. Inaayos na nga reklamo pa din. Kung gusto ninyo ng unlimited high speed connection magbayad kayo. Dun kayo mag torrent at CoC. Katulad lang yan ng hamburger – mas malaki, mas masarap, mas nakakabusog = mas mahal. Naiintindihan nyo ba mga utak talangka??
Napaniwala ka nanaman ng mga matatamis nilang salita? yung 7Mbps plan nga nila hindi nila mamaintain maintain. Sabi Up to 7Mbps at dahil nakasulat “Up to” nakakatakas sila maski ang binibigay lang nilang speed mas mababa pa sa 0.50kbps at MADALAS pang walang internet conenction pero sinisingil parin ang full price. Kung sa maliit na bagay hindi nila maayos eto pa kayang sinasabi nilang 15-20Mbps? Puro sila salita wala namang ngyayari.
Hindi nalang sana nila binabaan ng sobra-sobra yung price of SMS/calls para hindi sila mamroblema kung paano nila ipapababa yung price ng internet.
medyo lugi sila kung itataas yung call/text rate kasi maraming call/text apps using the net.
Kahit at 3 to 10 mpbs na walang capping, ok na sa akin. Eh 1 mbps nga lang ako ngayon, kinakapos…..
So,, Basically no improvement lmao.
15-20Mbps then they is CAPPING!!!
“they is CAPPING!!”…wow..just wow.
the word “should” was used a couple of times but “would” was never used so…. dont get your hopes up
“We’re not the slowest. I don’t believe that. I’m not saying we’re on top of Korea or Singapore but we should not believe the myth that we are the slowest” – MVP of PLDT
Kung ganito ang pahiniwala ni MVP, mukhang madilim ang kinabukasan ang internet sa Pilipinas
it’s like they’re saying:
“we’re not he WORST crooks… we’re only second worst, we shouldn’t think that we are a bad person…”
