As we navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape, it's essential to stay informed about internet connectivity around the world. Unfortunately, despite improvements, the Philippines continues to struggle to keep pace with global standards. According to Meltwater's 2025 Global Digital Report, the country's average mobile internet speeds trail behind the global average.

The Numbers Tell a Story

In February 2025, the Philippines reported an average download speed of 35.56 Mbps for mobile internet. While this may seem like a decent pace, it lags significantly behind the global average of 61.52 Mbps, representing a substantial 42% gap.

Infrastructure The Philippines' internet infrastructure is still developing, particularly in rural areas where connectivity is limited.
Competition The country has a relatively small number of internet service providers (ISPs), which can lead to a lack of competition and innovation.

To bridge this gap, the country must address its infrastructure, competition, and regulatory challenges. For comic collecting professionals, it's essential to stay informed about developments and advocate for better connectivity.
