In plain language
The Better Internet Act orders all internet providers to bring broadband to every part of the Philippines within three years, sets minimum download speeds (e.g., 10 Mbps in big cities, 3 Mbps in rural areas), requires the regulator to monitor quality and enforce truthful advertising, and gives the NTC power to fine or revoke licenses for non‑compliance.
