Vietnam Internet Speed Snapshot
What Internet Is Like in Vietnam
Vietnam has rapidly expanded its digital infrastructure, with fiber broadband now available in most cities. Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi have extensive coverage, and the government has pushed for nationwide fiber deployment. Vietnam's large tech manufacturing sector - With Apple, Samsung, and Intel all producing there - Demands reliable high-speed connectivity. The country also has a large and growing gaming and e-commerce market.
Vietnam's market is dominated by VNPT (state-owned), Viettel (military-affiliated), and FPT Telecom. All three are aggressively rolling out FTTH. International connectivity is via submarine cables landing in Da Nang and Vung Tau. Multiple cable breaks in 2023 highlighted Vietnam's vulnerability to submarine cable outages.
