Everybody, especially netizens frequently question and bash the internet servers to why they spend a fortune on services that are very slow and unreliable. Meanwhile in other countries, most especially the U.S. and U.K., their internet is very satisfying and fast for a more affordable price. Isn't that a little bit unfair? Why does the Philippines have to be one of the countries that has the slowest internet connection in Asia, in the world?

What is there excuse? Is internet here is slow in the Philippines because it belongs to Asia where there is a higher population and more subscribers? Or do they not have enough resources to compensate for the demand of internet to the masses? What if it just a big scam in order for the internet services to gain a lot of income from our hard earned money that we spend in hopes of good internet connection? If a demand of something is needed for the public, then the public services must give the supply, especially when they are fully capable.

What ever their reason is for their disappointing services, the public needs a solution. The masses are in need of internet for many reasons, communicating to loved ones in different provinces, online jobs that require internet access, online gaming and other things. Due to this big demand, public internet services should be happy that they would have many customers that would apply to their internet. The problem is that due to their unreliability, people don't think that applying to an internet service is worth it; slow service for a very expensive price.

What service are you registered to? Are you happy with the internet connection that you receive? Share your experiences and tell us what you want of the internet services, they need to hear the public and do something about it!
