#4. Philippines: Are We All Wired?

     

     Philippines connectivity through internet really helps the people to communicate easily. Sending and receiving information even from a really long distance and in more convenient ways than what we used in the fast where the internet didn't even exist. Now today, there are a lot of places who have Wi-Fi or local area wireless technology. Some connection in the internet is good but some is really slow depending of the location and how many services it can take. But how fast does the internet we have as of now? Are we really updated? How fast does our internet compared to other countries in Southeast Asia?

                                                        

     As of now, the Philippines (2014) have the slowest internet speed in Southeast Asian region. Philippines only have 3.5 Mbps compared to Singapore (65 Mbps) the highest rating of internet speed in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong in East Asia that have 77 Mbps!? We are really falling behind from our neighboring countries when it comes to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The ICT is really important substance or key ingredient of the government and economy. The country’s ability to adopt technology to make it easy for country economics development.
