8 Feelings You Suffer Through at 3.7MBPS

MBPS_HEADER

The Philippine Senate held a hearing on the impact of slow and expensive internet in the Philippines recently. Our country currently has the slowest internet speed in South East Asia. As of 2014, the PH’s internet speed is ranked at 155th in the whole world. Even in Asia, the Philippines is left behind with a measly download speed of 3.7 mbps compared to Singapore’s 133.1 mbps. Take note that the average global internet speed is 24.2 mbps. Don’t forget that we’re paying a lot for slow internet.

The senate’s solution? They redefined broadband services and set the minimum speed 256 kilobits per second or kbps. Uhhh that’s not a lot. It’s practically like surfing the net in the 90s with your dial-up internet and pre-paid card.  It also doesn’t help that telcos are saying that it will take a while before internet speeds drastically improves.

Looks like we have to continue feeling these for a while:

 

8. When you have to work with a slow internet connection…

And you start questioning your purpose in life.

 

7. …And you have no choice but to soldier on

In between bouts of sighing and fidgeting, you also slam your mouse on occasion.

 

6. If Your Slow Wi-Fi Was a Person

“I HATE YOU AND ALL THAT YOU STAND FOR.”

 

5. When you’re waiting for your download to finish

“Estimated time is 12 hours? Sure whatever. Internet, don’t die on me. Don’t you dare die on me.”

 

4. When you wait so long for an important file to finish downloading and an error message pops up

“Network error? Oh it’s ok. My whole life just depended on it.”

 

3. When you try your best to be patient and positive

“Everything is fine. Everything will be okay.”

 

2. When the connection’s working fine and it suddenly drops out

This is the one where you go “AAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” in your head.

 

1. When you start thinking there’s more to life than just computers

“Maybe I should go outside and live. Travel the world. Write an award-winning book on my exploits.”

Here’s hoping that the Philippines’ internet problems gets less buffered (and resolved soon).

 

 

How do you feel about the country’s internet? Let us know in the comments!
