Download speeds also zoomed to 31.44 Mbps as of yearend, versus an average 7.44 Mbps tallied in July 2016.

“Siyempre po, hindi tayo titigil dito. Kinakailangan po ay maipakita pa rin natin na kapareho naman tayo o kapantay natin sa bilis ng internet ang ating mga karatig-bansa dito po sa Asya,” Roque added.

However, problems in internet connection happened midway through the briefing. DICT Undersecretary Rey Caintic, who was supposed to discuss efforts to simplify cell tower permit requirements, was disconnected from the virtual press room.

Even a reporter who was asking questions was dropped from the virtual meeting room due to internet connection problems.

“Naku, patay na! Usec. Caintic, wala kang audio. Okay, let’s try Trish again. Naku! Anyway, sa aking report po kay Presidente sa Lunes, sasabihin ko po ang nangyari on the day we rendered a report on the Telcos na nawalan po kami ng connection sa lahat,” Roque said, chuckling the very awkward moment away.

Check the 33-minute mark onwards to watch the embarrassing disconnections:
