The House Committee on Information and Communications Technology has asked the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to ensure accuracy from telcos or Internet providers (IPs) as to the actual Internet speed that they are delivering to consumers.
“We should really change the nomenclature whenever they say [maximum] speed. At least for the given bandwidth they are selling, they should do that. That’s why we have become the joke of Internet speeds,” panel chairman, Tarlac 2nd district Rep. Victor Yap said in a recent virtual hearing.
“Ang pino-point out ko lang, pwede ba nating baguhin, huwag mong sabihing ‘up to 10 mbps?’ Ang ilalagay mo, eto yung minimum speed na required na ibigay mo para hindi tayo nami-mislead ,” added Lacson. The regulatory body will soon come up with a circular to guide Internet providers as to what they could advertise to consumers.
