\[Vietnam's Internet Is Fast and Cheap. Here's Why.\]

If there were a competition for internet value, Vietnam would rank near the top. In 2024, Vietnam's broadband averaged 130.91 Mbps download speed, with mobile at 67.85 Mbps. And the price? Under USD 12 a month for high-speed broadband. Even relative to local incomes, that is affordable for most people.

▍ Vietnam vs. Taiwan

Taiwan's speeds are slightly faster and prices are also reasonable. But Taiwan had a roughly 10-year head start in building out its network. The fact that Vietnam has nearly caught up speaks to how seriously the country treats internet development.

▍ Competition and Infrastructure

A key driver is fierce competition among Vietnam's three telecom giants: Viettel, VNPT, and FPT Telecom. Their price war benefits users with high-value service. Vietnam's high population density also keeps fiber-optic deployment costs low, and infrastructure upgrades have pushed network coverage up steadily.

From personal experience, even in the remote mountains of Dien Bien Phu, Viettel's signal only dropped occasionally — making it hard to believe you were actually in the deep countryside.

▍ Government-Driven Digital Transformation

The Vietnamese government has made digital transformation a national priority. October 10 was designated "Digital Transformation Day" — the same date as "Capital Liberation Day" — signaling the policy's importance. The government has also pushed IPv6 adoption aggressively. Vietnam's IPv6 usage rate now ranks 7th in the world.
