China Telecom Makes Fun Of Slow Philippine Internet

BEIJING - "Don't torture yourself with Filipino internet speed, subscribe to us now for the fastest broadband in Mainland China," said one of the TV commercials for China Telecom's service.

China Telecom is a Chinese state-owned telecommunication company that also provides wired and wireless internet for 80.33% of Mainland China (Q1 2015). Their average internet speed is 18.3 Mbps, but has limitations on which sites their subscribers can visit.

Philippine telcos came under fire early this year for being in the bottom three of the slowest internet speed in Asia. The average being 3.6 Mbps compared to China's 18.3 Mbps.

Filipinos took to Twitter to voice their displeasure over the Chinese telco ad and pressure has been put on local telcos to boost internet speed. "It's inexcusable that we're one of the most advanced countries in Asia in terms of economy, yet our internet speed is in the bottom 3," said one of the users on Twitter.
