There may be internet access on every corner of every street in most towns but many Filipinos tell me that 15 Pesos an hour is still too expensive for them.
High speed internet maybe available in Manila and Cebu but it is prohibitively expensive for most ..
Many malls have wifi but you will usually need to eat in somewhere like Macdo`s and get the password from staff. This is not much good if you dont own a laptop or an expensive wifi phone.
Out in the provinces we are mainly dependent on a wireless "broadband" signal although there are many many areas where the signal is only GSM and practically unusable for even browsing text.
These are the speeds that I have to put up with here out in the sticks..Im one of the lucky ones.. That said if I was a serious stock/share trader etc then I would have to live in Manila full time to get business done.. I think things will get better country wide eventually but not anytime soon.
