Vietnam's fixed broadband network speed grows for 7 consecutive months

According to the latest data from the i-Speed speed measurement platform (part of the Vietnam Internet Center - VNNIC, Ministry of Science and Technology ), in September 2025, the average download speed of fixed broadband networks nationwide reached 272.44 Mbps and the upload speed reached 202.05 Mbps. This marks the seventh consecutive month of peak network quality since the surge in March 2025.

In major cities, network quality in urban areas such as Hanoi , Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Da Nang, and Can Tho is generally stable, with only slight fluctuations. Hanoi continues to lead in network speed, with download speeds reaching 337.01 Mbps.

Viettel and VNPT continue to be the two network providers with the highest internet speeds, constantly setting speed records. Viettel's download speed in September 2025 reached 320.71 Mbps, and its upload speed was 277.36 Mbps. VNPT also recorded download speeds of 259.45 Mbps and upload speeds of 188.74 Mbps.

Other network providers maintained stable quality, such as: FPT Telecom with upload and download speeds of 124.37 Mbps and 101.04 Mbps respectively; SCTV at 86.88 Mbps and 30.01 Mbps; NETNAM at 60.25 Mbps and 62.22 Mbps; and CMC Telecom at 270.93 Mbps and 153.75 Mbps.

Statistics from Ookla, the company behind the Speedtest tool, show that in August 2025, Vietnam's fixed-line internet speed reached 261.8 Mbps, ranking 10th globally, far surpassing the 33rd ranking announced in March 2025.

This result is much higher than many countries such as Switzerland, Denmark, and China. Viettel leads with a speed of 272.9 Mbps (higher than Iceland, the 8th-ranked country in the world). Thus, Viettel's internet speed has increased dramatically by 58% since the beginning of 2025, making a significant contribution to the growth of Vietnam's internet ranking.

According to Ookla, Vietnam's mobile broadband network ranks 16th globally. This is the first time Vietnam has had both mobile and fixed-line networks in the top 20 global markets in terms of speed.

According to the Vietnam Internet Center, the average mobile broadband speed nationwide in September 2025 reached 83.48 Mbps for downloads and 28.05 Mbps for uploads.

Network quality at VNPT, MobiFone, and Vietnamobile improved compared to July 2025, while Viettel witnessed its highest mobile network speeds in the last 12 months, reaching 100.09 Mbps for downloads and 29.74 Mbps for uploads.

In major cities across Vietnam, Da Nang continues to lead in mobile broadband speeds, with download speeds reaching 203.69 Mbps, nearly double that of second-place Can Tho (download speed of 115.81 Mbps). Other cities such as Hanoi, Hai Phong, and Ho Chi Minh City also maintain growth in mobile broadband speeds.

In September 2025, the quality of 5G mobile broadband networks nationwide recorded a slight decrease compared to the previous month, with average download speeds reaching 361.62 Mbps and average upload speeds reaching 90.45 Mbps.

Despite a decrease in speed compared to the previous month, Viettel continued to lead in 5G network speeds last month, with a download speed of 373.18 Mbps and an upload speed of 98.6 Mbps.
