INTRODUCTION
There have been numerous technological day breaks within the last 30 years, amid which
the desktop computer and the Web have been created. Internet access is the capability of
individuals and organizations to connect to the Internet utilizing their computers and other
devices such as mobile phone and IPADs. It is used to access services such as email and browse
the World Wide Web. Various technologies and methods with different rate of speeds have been
utilized by Internet service providers (ISPs) to give this service to the end users. Gaining a
reliable internet speed connection is quite challenging especially in places like government
Guiguinto was in the process of its rise and for it to happen a faster internet connection is
very crucial. Almost everything is in the power of government from the issuance of business
permits up to emergency hotlines and/ or services it is also their job to respond to the people’s
appeals. With a slow Internet connection, government workers are less likely to be motivated to
participate in today’s information society and it may cause them too many pending and
unfinished works. In some countries, the essential role of this tool is well understood, and the
right. When it comes to providing the nation with Internet access, the Philippines has been barely
If our average internet connection speed is slower compared to other countries, and yet
we have to pay a higher price for it, then that makes our economy somewhat less competitive.
Poor connectivity adversely affects business, consumers and government agencies that have
become increasingly reliant on the internet to perform daily transactions (Campos, 2018).
Internet connectivity for government offices had a very big impact for them especially in
teaching. In Thailand, the use of information technology and mobile phone increased in the past
two years, according to the National Statistical Office. A survey found that there are 9.6
computer units, 4.4 Internet access units, and 2.3 fax machines for every 100 households. In
2001, the number stood at 5.8 computer units, three Internet access units and 1.6 fax machines
for every 100 households. Even so, the digital divide between Bangkok and other regions
remains. The Office reported there were 29.4 computer units for every 100 households in
Bangkok, but the figure was well below 10 in other regions. For Internet access the figure was 17
in Bangkok and less than 5 in the regions. Of 7.4 million people in Bangkok, 2.8 million used a
computer and one million used Internet, compared with 2.5 million computer users and one
million Internet users in the Northeast, where 19.1 million people live. The survey was carried
out among 16 million households nationwide from April to June 2002. The Survey found 11.3
million people used a computer, 6.03 million had access to the Internet and 12.9 million owned a
mobile phone. Of the total, Bangkok accounted for 45.6 % of mobile phone owners. People aged
15-24 accounted for 46.2 % of computer users. People aged 6-14 were the next biggest group,
making up for 18.9%. People aged 15-24 accounted for 51.9% of those with Internet access,
followed by people aged 25-34, who accounted for 21.3%. Of total computer and Internet users,
28.9 % and 34.4 % had at least bachelor’s degrees or studied at universities. (National Statistical
Office, 2003).
Bad internet connection is a more pressing problem in the country compared to poverty
and corruption (Ordinario,2017). The main purpose of the study is to know what will be the

much faster internet connection. This would also help them to improve their internet sites for

Chapter 2
Through a comparison of the current global ICT situation with the current situation in the
Philippines, this paper shows that the country’s Internet infrastructure lags behind among those
Findings show that the lack of competition in the Internet connectivity market, among other
reasons, is at the root of the dilemma of slow and costly Internet connection. (Romeo Agan
Next to price, Internet speed is one of the main decision drivers when shopping for
internet or evaluating your current internet service. Internet speed is determined by how much
data the connection can download or upload per second (David Anders, 2021).
According to an Ookla, speedtest in August 2020, the Philippines ranked at the lower part
of the global index in terms of average broadband and mobile speeds. At 16.44 mbps for mobile
downloads, the country landed the 199 th spot out of 139. With 25.34 mbps for broadband, we
the Philippines also remains quite expensive. In the digital quality of life index 2020, the
Philippines lands at the 82nd place, out of 85 spots in terms of internet affordability. The study
also reveals that it takes 1,994 seconds of work to get the cheapest mobile internet and 75
minutes of work to afford the cheapest broadband internet in the country. (Moneymax, 2020).
A joint study by the world bank and the Philippines’ National Economic and
Development Authority (NEDA) reveals that Filipinos are paying more for slow internet
services. As for pricing, the Philippines’ fixed broadband plans have similar cost to those of
Singapore and Thailand. What’s ironic is, these countries have the fastest internet speeds in the
region, opposite to what the Filipinos are experiencing. (Patrick Cañete, 2020)
Workloads
From bolstering national defense and homeland security to automating operational
processes and citizen interactions, government agencies are big users of high performance
computing and artificial intelligence systems. Historically, agencies ran these data- and compute-

Economic and population growth further signal the dire need to invest more in
modernizing digital infrastructure, which has only been accelerated by the pandemic.
Government processes are paper-centric, requiring the submission of physical documents even
after taxes or other paperwork is filed online. (International Trade Administration, 2020)
