PH deserves better internet service, Sen. Poe says after suspending Senate inquiry due to poor connection

Senator Grace Poe is sounding the alarm for the slow internet service we have here in the country.

In her social media post, she is of the opinion that the country deserves better service from our current internet providers as she laments our situation is in a very sad state.

This was further emphasized when the lady senator had to cancel the Senate session on internet connectivity in the country due to a poor connection.

“I can’t believe we had to suspend the hearing on internet connectivity because of technical issues. How ironic,” she said. “This country deserves better. #newnormal,” senator Poe said.

In the world ranking with respect to internet speed, the country is at 110^th out of the 174 countries in the world.

The slow connection is an established fact even as the Philippines has one of the most expensive internet costs almost the same as Singapore which has a much more faster internet service.

Cell sites

Earlier the senator also slammed the National Telecommunications Commission's "incompetence" for the slow internet speeds in the country.

A research conducted by Globe Telecom in 2018 showed the Philippines has nearly 17,000 cell sites, while regional peers Indonesia and Vietnam have 91,000, and 70,000 cell towers, respectively.

"Napaka incompetent talaga ng regulator natin, I am sorry to say," Poe said in an exclusive interview with Ted Failon’s Ngayon in Teleradyo.
