MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines has been ranked among the lowest in LTE (Long Term Evolution) internet speed and coverage by Open Signal, the leading source of insight into the coverage and performance of mobile operators worldwide.
With an average LTE coverage of 43%, the Philippines was only three spots away from the bottom of the worst-performing countries in the world, only slightly better than Ecuador (41%), Costa Rica (41%) and Sri Lanka (39%).
Overall for global LTE comparison, the Philippines was the 7th slowest with an average of 6 Mbps LTE download speed, faring a little better than Bolivia (6), Puerto Rico (6), Pakistan (4) , Saudi Arabia (3), Costa Rica (3) and Iran (3).

The report further noted that US and Japan, who managed to build a vast 4G infrastructures, still lagged behind in speed compared to smaller countries.
“Both Japan and the U.S. are in the top 10 when it comes to building out 4G coverage. However, due to lack of spectrum, lack of technological innovation or just sheer network oversubscription, they’ve failed to keep pace as other countries push mobile broadband speeds ever higher,” the report explained.
