Globe urges Akamai to include PH mobile internet performance in report

Globe Telecom calls on Akamai to include the mobile internet results for the Philippines in its quarterly State of the Internet (SOI) report in reaction to the 1 st Quarter results released recently where the country's internet performance was once again benchmarked using fixed broadband internet. Yoly Crisanto, Globe SVP for Corporate Communications said that similar to other countries, Akamai should include the PH in its report on mobile internet to provide the public with a complete picture on the country’s true state of internet speed. “By using the average speed for fixed broadband to represent the internet speed for the whole country is erroneous.  It is not reflective of the true state of internet considering that majority of Filipinos are using mobile data to access the internet.  In comparison with other countries, this will again put the Philippines in bad light and will be used as reference in many studies and reports,” Crisanto said.
