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
