Long Term Evolution (LTE) which is reported to have internet speeds 10 times faster than the regular 3G network is the newest technology in telecommunications today.
On February 2014, OpenSignal Inc., in its report entitled State of the LTE reported that the Philippines has the slowest LTE speed among the 16 countries surveyed. Australia, Claro Brazil, and South Korea landed as the fastest and has the widest coverage of LTE.
The Philippines has two large telecommunication companies: Smart and Globe Telecommunications. Globe Telecommunications is reported to have the slowest LTE speed.
This news is a slap in the face for Filipinos. Nevertheless, the results of the study is quite obvious. Internet speeds in the Philippines are worst as compared to other countries. Even Cambodia which is less developed compared to the Philippines is reported to have faster internet speeds as compared to that of the Philippines.
The Philippines has still have lots of needed improvements in terms of business climate, infrastructure and human power.
