The Philippines has the second slowest average download speed among 22 Asian countries, according to a study on consumer Internet speeds as of May 2015.
In its household download index, Internet metrics provider Ookla found that the Philippines averaged a speed of just 3.64 megabytes per second (Mbps), which ranked 176th out of 202 countries worldwide.
Globally, the average broadband download speed is 23.3 Mbps, nearly eight times faster than the Philippines.
Only one Asian country, war-torn Afghanistan, had slower speeds compared to the Philippines.

Most expensive
Despite the slow download speeds, the Philippines also has some of the most expensive Internet connections in the world.
The study showed that Philippine Internet users spend $18.19 per Mbps, compared to an average of $5.21 per Mbps worldwide. This put the Philippines at 161st of 202 countries.
Last year, the Senate opened up a probe to look into the quality of Internet services in the country. — JST, GMA News
