What is the Internet speed ranking in Vietnam?

Vietnam’s Internet Speed Ranking: A Slight Dip in February 2023

Vietnam’s internet speeds have experienced a marginal decline in February 2023, according to Ookla’s Speedtest Global Index. This dip has affected both fixed and mobile internet connectivity in the country.

Fixed Internet

Vietnam’s fixed internet speeds have dropped from 35th to 39th globally in February 2023. The average download speed for fixed broadband in Vietnam currently stands at 84.61 Mbps, while the upload speed is 44.62 Mbps. This slight decrease in ranking is attributed to a decrease in both download and upload speeds compared to the previous month.

Mobile Internet

Mobile internet speeds in Vietnam have also experienced a decline, falling from 50th to 52nd in Ookla’s Global Index. The average download speed for mobile internet in Vietnam is now 33.35 Mbps, with an upload speed of 12.75 Mbps. This represents a decrease in both download and upload speeds compared to January 2023.

Factors Contributing to the Dip

The reasons behind the dip in internet speeds in Vietnam are not entirely clear. However, some possible factors include:

• Increased internet traffic due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the resumption of normal economic activities.
• Upgrades and maintenance work on internet infrastructure by providers.
• The impact of global supply chain issues on the availability of network equipment.

Impact on Users

The slight dip in internet speeds may have some implications for users in Vietnam. Slower download and upload speeds can affect online activities such as streaming, gaming, and video conferencing. However, the current speeds are still sufficient for most general internet usage, such as browsing, social media, and email.

Future Outlook

The long-term outlook for internet speeds in Vietnam remains positive. The government has implemented various initiatives to improve internet connectivity, including the deployment of fiber-optic networks and the promotion of 5G technology. As these initiatives progress, it is expected that internet speeds in Vietnam will continue to improve in the coming months and years.
