Instead of data moving from users to Internet Exchange centers outside the country then back to the Philippines, it will now take ashorter route.
Gamers will be the first ones who will feel the benefits of this agreement. The latency or the time it takes data to travel will belower. Thus, their moves will be registered faster when playing on a server within the country.
Websites that are hosted under the two ISPs will also experience a speed boost. Philippine government websites have previously experience this speed boost when the Philippine Open Internet Exchange (PHOpenIX) peered with PLDT’s PhIX.
