Philippines is suffering the most worst internet connection in the Asia. The common knowledge we have is that when there are a lot of users who are using the network at the same time the server will down easily. But NO! Lets find out bellow!


Wireless internet connection or Dial up internet connection like your mobile data can suffer data traffic leading to slow internet if it is raining, and if the ISP cellular tower can't handle the connected users, but we all know that electromagnetic wave can travel 50%-99% of the speed of light, even how fast the electromagnetic wave if the server can't handle the connected users then you will suffer a slow internet connection. That's how wired connections works too, but wired connection have larger data center than the cellular sites.


We're not done yet!

The main reason why our connection is too slow is that the website servers of the website you're accessing is too far from your location, the connection request will travel to the designated location of the server of the website that you're trying to browse then the server will respond your request.

For example
We will browse www.techieph.com, the server of that website is from the United States, so the connection request will travel from the location where you are right now going to the United States and go back to you.

So, we need a data center in the Philippines to make our internet more faster like what the other counter have right now.
