VNPT just announced they will increase internet speeds (and prices) for new and existing customers. Some customers, depending on their packages, may see speeds increase between 1-9 Mbps! That is quite impressive.
It would be nice to see if FPT and Viettel would follow. Currently Viettel seems to be the star of reliable high speed bandwidth these days.
Currently with FPT, I am getting about 798 kbps download and 204 kpbs upload speeds. In the evenings, downloads can go well over 1000 kbps now!!! These are the same speeds I was getting back in April, 2004, when I started using ADSL with Viettel. Things seem to be looking brighter in the future 🙂

I am getting a 12 meg fiber line installed on Monday by FTP. They are guarantying a minimum o f 512 kpbs international bandwidth. Will let you know if it is really true.
Should be getting it installed tomorrow, got delayed because the are still laying the fiber optic. It is is slow might have to go to a leased line. Yikes!
The Fiber is horrible. The highest speed I have gotten is 600 K and I am in District 1 on the corner of Le Thanh Ton and Ton Duc Thang. What District are you in and how are you managing to get 1.7 meg download at night? I use to get that speed at the Manor using SCTV but not anymore. If FPT doesn’t up the speed, I am canceling the fiber. Luckily I have paid them yet, just for discounted installation only. Might just stick with the SCTV at the office 30 bucks compared to fiber 427 dollars a month.
