Last June 2020, just when the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions over Metro Manila and other areas were easing up, average download speeds for fixed broadband was below the 30 Mbps-mark, while it hovered around 40 Mbps only in February 2021.
The same case goes for mobile internet: in June 2020, average download speeds were way below 20 Mbps, and it reached the 25 Mbps-mark only after December 2020.
