Thanks for the map, I am now using it to bring public pressure to bear, here in Davao, for more wire to be strung in. Amazingly, even though the President hails from here, our internet comes only from Guam (lol) and Indonesia or New Guinea (lol). The internet providers seem to surreptitiously, slyly solve the bottleneck by throttling way back like from the contractually promised 15 Mps, down to 150 Kbs, as it suits them. Apparently, since "throttling" is not allowed in my high-end contract, as the repair guy told me, it is called "migration". I call it "stealing".

I didn't want to be that Kano (Barang) who whinges all the time, but yeah, that's what I have now become.

You might laugh about the internet "coming from Guam", perhaps it's the capacity of that cable that is the issue, because as you can see from the map, Guam has multiple connections to Japan, Hawaii-US and Australia (where it probably also offers redundancy to US via other cables). But yeah, you're probably due for a new cable by the looks of it.
