The Speedtest Global Index released recently by Ookla, an American firm that describes itself as a global leader in network and connectivity intelligence, showed Vietnam's fixed broadband network hit a download speed of 91.6 Mbps in February, up nearly 9% from the previous month's 84.18 Mbps, marking the highest speed ever recorded by Vietnam. With such speeds, Vietnam's fixed broadband rose to 39th position last month from the 45th place in January. The mobile Internet speed, however, dropped from 46.66 Mbps in January to 42.67 Mbps last month, resulting in a ranking of 52nd, falling nine places from January. The result is quite similar to what was recorded by the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center (VNNIC) under the Ministry of Information and Communications As measured by the center’s i-Speed tool, the download speed of the mobile network decreased from 40.82 Mbps in January to 36.45 Mbps last month, while that of the fixed network increased from 85.8 Mpbs to 89.73 … [Read more...] about Vietnam’s Internet climbs on global speed rankings despite repeated disruptions

Specifically, the average download speed of the fixed broadband network locally stands at 91.6 Megabits per second, up 9% over January, the highest speed Vietnam has ever recorded this year. Furthermore, the Internet speed measurement system named i-SPEED by the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center has also recorded similar results. Accordingly, the average download speed of fixed broadband increased by 4.6% in comparison to January. This data highlights that the country’s fixed Internet speed has significantly improved recently thanks to great efforts made by the Ministry of Information and Communications. Most notably, the Ministry has actively directed internet service providers to seek solutions to recent breakdowns of undersea fiber optic cable lines connecting the country to the world. Simultaneously, they have also invested in developing additional undersea fiber optic lines in a bid to meet the needs of local users./.
