Slow PH Internet most expensive in Asia

SAYING that the Philippines has the slowest and most expensive Internet service in Asia, Sen. Paolo Benigno “Bam” Aquino 4th on Wednesday directed the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC) to submit within three months reform programs to regulate fees for Internet connection.

Aquino 4th, chairman of the Senate Committee on Trade, Commerce and Enterpreneurship, also called for a prompt review of the government’s policies on the provision of reliable Internet services, noting that the Philippines is the only member-country of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) “that has the poorest Internet service.”
