With tens of millions of players, the gaming community in Vietnam desires a specialized internet package that meets their usage needs.
Gamers are estimated to make up half the population. According to statistics released in January 2024 by We Are Social, Vietnam has 78.44 million internet users out of a total population of 99.19 million. Of these, 37.9% of Vietnamese internet users stated that their purpose for going online is to play games. Games are also one of the most frequently accessed types of websites or apps by Vietnamese users, accounting for 37.1%. Furthermore, according to the Newzoo 2022 report, Vietnam ranks third in Southeast Asia in the number of mobile gamers with 54.6 million players. These figures show that gaming is becoming increasingly popular in Vietnam and is a major consumer group in terms of internet connectivity needs.

However, according to We Are Social, fixed internet speeds in Vietnam are over 105 Mbps for downloads and over 100 Mbps for uploads, with a latency of about 3 ms. Many gamers believe this speed can meet most Vietnamese people's internet needs, but only at a general level. Meanwhile, gaming requires instantaneous images, movements, and responsive actions, with virtually zero latency. This means gamers need a superior internet speed to meet their reaction time requirements. The reason why gaming today requires superior internet speeds isn't just because of modern games with stunning graphics and fast processing times, but also because the gaming industry in Vietnam has changed significantly. Previously, players had to accept slow or laggy connections; now, they seek faster and more stable internet connections for gaming. Besides, playing games with multiple people isn't just for entertainment; it's also a way to earn money. Therefore, internet speed plays a crucial role in a player's gaming performance. Even a second of slow internet can ruin a match, impacting the gamer's performance and income, as well as that of the gaming teams. Why not a gaming package? Recently, FPT Telecom launched the F-Game package, targeting the Vietnamese gaming community with significantly upgraded quality, offering a different experience compared to regular internet packages. F-Game utilizes leading-edge technologies like Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize transmission quality, ensuring a smooth gaming experience. The most notable advantage of this package is its unlimited bandwidth and integration with Wi-Fi 6 technology. Specifically, it boasts bandwidth speeds of 600Mbps, four times faster than standard Wi-Fi 5. Average latency is reduced by 50%, resulting in smoother connections across multiple devices.

Furthermore, the UltraFast feature, utilizing Big Data and AI technology, optimizes internet connection quality, providing a smooth gaming experience for gamers and their teammates. A special feature of UltraFast is that it's automatically integrated into FPT's internet packages; users don't need to perform any additional setup. In October 2023, FPT Telecom organized the PUBG Mobile F-League gaming tournament, featuring renowned gamers like Dat Villa, Franky, and over 100 others, to test the features of the F-Game package. Over 100 gamers participated in the match, along with a large number of online viewers watching live. The matches were breathtaking, with smooth combat sequences. There were no interruptions thanks to the high-speed internet infrastructure, resulting in exhilarating moments for both players and viewers.

Schannel's TikToker, Hai Trieu, shared his experience at FPT Telecom's internet connection testing event for gamers: " I really liked it because the game was fast, smooth, and uninterrupted. My friends and I had a very fun and relaxing time." The strong development of internet infrastructure and services demonstrates FPT Telecom's efforts in providing a different experience for gamers in Vietnam. This is also clearly reflected in FPT Telecom's 26-year development strategy with the guiding principle of "Customer-centricity." Thanks to this, different customer segments will have more choices and the best experiences from a service provider like FPT Telecom.
