The Philippines’ average mobile download speed is 18.79 Mbps, and the average fixed broadband download speed is 49.10 Mbps, according to Ookla’s Speedtest Global Index for February 2022.
With the aforementioned download speed, an average upload speed of 5.61Mbps, and a 23ms latency, the Philippines’ mobile internet speeds placed even lower at 94th. These numbers are two steps down from the 92nd position in January when the average download speed was 17.95Mbps, the upload speed was 5.42Mbps, and the latency was 24ms.
