How PLDT Deliberately Keeps Local Internet Traffic Slow and More Expensive In Philippines

http://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/comments/2aurzq/how_pldt_deliberately_keeps_local_internet

TL:DR: The main problem why local traffic-exchange in Philippines is on a glacial speed when you connect to one of Garena’s rooms is because, PLDT DSL doesn’t let its customers share traffic with its peers like Globe, Sky or Bayan DSL. The company intentionally keeps the exchange through its own network.
The main reason why Filipinos are paying more for slower internet connection compared to other countries is because PLDT acts as the country’s own backbone, able to control all the flow of internet traffic from Philippines to the outside. ISPs are also required to pay PLDT for using its ‘fake’ backbone instead of relying to real backbone service providers like PACNET to properly handle the data exchange for this country.
Unfortunately, there's a slim chance for PLDT to fix this because: 1) If the company connects to Philippine's IX, Globe will have the upper hand on giving better service to its customers 2) If PLDT starts paying for a real backbone service, it will lose a chunk of its profit since it's currently acting as the country's network backbone enjoying unprecedented power on dictating how traffic exchange should be structured in Philippines, setting the price for internet bandwith, plus, the annual cut it receives from ISPs paying for its 'one-of-a-kind' network.

Isn't that in essence, a monopoly?

plan 1299. Noticed today my speed is bumped. Nah probably a hiccup on their side; I'm not complaining though.

Converge fiber is being a piece of shit right now..

Whoa! Thats faster than my Japanese fiber connection!

^ Finally caught up, after seven years lol!

But I think Sandstig has a 620Mbps speedtest from a local ISP back in the early 2000s.

i needed to buy a new router to attain this speed. my old router could only achieve 100mbps max. im now using a cat6 lan cable

splerdu · « **Reply #57 on:** July 18, 2020, 01:42:28 AM »

Tried running speedtest on a cloud hosting service, just for fun:
