With upload and download speeds of 54.52Mbps and 58.57Mbps, respectively, PLDT outperformed other ISPs in Manila, including Converge, Globe, and Sky.

When determining the fastest ISPs, Ookla considers the fastest network speeds achieved throughout a given network, taking into account tests conducted on multiple Speedtest programs connected to a fixed network, as well as tests conducted on mobile phones via a WiFi connection. At least 3 percent of the sample size in the geographic area is accounted for by each top carrier.
