The misery of most Filipino Internet users may finally come to an end when Telstra, Australia’s biggest telecom company enters the Philippines in the very near future.
Of nineteen Asian countries, the Philippines ranked second with the slowest Internet speed at 3.64Mbps, only ahead of Afghanistan with 2.52Mbps. All other 17 countries are far ahead of the Philippines.
Communications experts said the problem with the country’s disappointing Internet speed is because of the lack of better competitors. Globe, PLDT/Smart, and Sun Cellular on the other hand blame the government for complicated and expensive process in building structures like transmitters and antennas.
Among the country’s providers, PLDT is the worst of all. Globe is better than Smart, then followed by Sun cellular.
Ibtimes.com.au reported that Telstra is aiming to partner with the San Miguel Corporation – the country’s biggest company.
There is no exact date on when the business operation will be started, but Bloombergreported that Telstra is currently on talks with San Miguel, and is willing to invest 5.75 billion Pesos (UD$123 million).
It may be too early to expect, but many netizens are already excited about the plan – believing that this move could help them with their lifetime problem – the worst internet speed.

What you guys don't know is that Australia is known for sucky internet, datacaps, expensive and pretty much the same as ours if not worse when it comes to speed. I have a lot of Aussy friends and they are all jealous of our bandwidth and unlimited data transfers.
Australia.... hmmm....
I know that country's Internet connection were 'capping' is just normal for them.
If that ISP is coping that standards of capping on their country here in Philippines, they will end up like what WiTribe ends up to be.
Goodbye slow internet from globe,smart and pldt? Well Telstra is slower than them! aside from the fact that telstra has datacaps and expensive internet charges, they also have poor customer service. Telsta is equivalent to PLDT in the Philippines. But their system in Australia is different. If Telstra will still follow their system in Australia, then we're still lucky having the worst internet connection which is PLDT as stated above.
I hope not Australian net providers suck! It's slow and they monitor your net Activities I'd rather wait for Google Fiber than this.
Malakas naman ang globe.. dependi lang yan sa plan mo.. hmm.
Malakas naman ang globe.. dependi lang yan sa plan mo.. hmm.?
PLDT... our connections always OK...
...let's see what will happen and how will Telstra do it. The foreign investment though is most welcome!!!
I said nothing against globe.. better nga sila than PLDT.. what I'm saying is that telstra has poor internet quality service..
better? FYI all telcos in the Philippines is using PLDT's infrastructure.
ok lng yan @ least merong bagong player na papasok sa ating bansa...
Lol. I doubt that anybody in the civilized world is jealous about Philippines stone age Internet access. Paid 79 AUD in Sydney for 50 Mbps with TellNet. Go figure. Guess your friends live in remote areas. There it can be bad. But it is true that data capping is done as different plans come with different amount of data allocation
This is true but not entirely as globe has started to build 2 direct links using PacNet
correct me if i'm wrong, pero diba wi-tribe is an SMC venture into internet service?
what happened to wi-tribe na?
one smart is partly own by PLDT
and sun cellular is also owned by pldt
so there is just globe
Really globe? have you seen the new DSL options for Globe? Globe has ridiculously low monthly data caps now. The 5mbps plan has 60GB of monthly usage. i can use that shit in less than 3 days. http://tattoo.globe.com.ph/products/home-broadband-plans
malakas? remember Globe does not offer the 25 mbps plan on every location. And Globe has the shittiest monthly data caps as of now. 5mbps plan has a monthly data caps of 60gb, 15mbps has 100 gb of monthly data usage allowance. Globe is purely shit. Not to mention the 25mbps plan is so expensive compared to other countries. time warner, at&t etc. offers that speed at half the price of Globe.
Google Fiber? Kung di ka ba naman tanga. Kung sa US nga di pa available nationwide, tapos dadalin nila sa pinas. Patay ka na, wala pa fiber na hinihintay mo.
Lol, It depends on your ISP provider and the plan you choose. I'm with TPG here in Australia and hooked up with the NBN. 100 Mbps, unlimited, 99 AUD a month which is roughly 3200 pesos a month. Compare that to the overpriced stone age internet speed in the Philippines.
Actually hindi ko nararamdaman ung data cap sa globe kasi unlimited download ako for days and never naman akong nagkaissue. I mean I started with globe several years ago and globe pa rin. kahit na nakakaHB customer service nila. XD
LOL. Meron tayong tinatawag na glimmer of hope. XD
LOL! 999 1mbps saan ka pa!
one thing... most companies like TPG iiNet, optus, and primus rents telstra towers :) more than 90% is telstra..
