According
\nto the August 2026 Speedtest Global Index figures released by network
\nintelligence firm Ookla, Vietnam’s median mobile broadband download speed
\nreached 219.93 Mbps, representing a 45 percent increase compared to the same
\nperiod last year. With this performance, the country moved up one notch to secure
\nninth place globally.<\/p>\n

At
\nthe city level, with its speed at\u00a0493.37 Mbps, \u00a0Hanoi\u2019s
\nmobile network quality recorded significant progress, ranking fifth among 149 ranking cities globally,\u00a0up five places from the previous evaluation period,\u00a0for mobile internet download speed. Vietnam’s capital city ranks just behind Abu
\nDhabi, Al-Rayyan, Doha, and Dubai, while surpassing major metropolitan areas
\nincluding Stockholm, Kuwait City, and Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,
\nHo Chi Minh City achieved a mobile internet download speed of 175.91 Mbps,
\nclimbing four places to rank 54th among the 149 ranking cities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In
\nthe fixed broadband sector, Vietnam recorded a median download speed of 301.48
\nMbps, ranking eighth globally and dropping one spot from the previous period.
\nDespite the slight drop in ranking, Vietnam\u2019s fixed internet speed
\nremains approximately 2.3 times higher than the global median of 129.68 Mbps.<\/p>\n

Singapore leads the global ranking with a median download speed of 462.50 Mbps.<\/p>\n

Vietnam
\nranks directly behind the United States, which recorded 307.16 Mbps, and ahead
\nof Thailand at 298.92 Mbps.<\/p>\n

By
\ncity performance, Ho Chi Minh City ranks 14th, and\u00a0Hanoi 30th, among 194 ranking cities globally,\u00a0for fixed broadband
\nspeed. The download speed in Ho Chi Minh City reached
\n298.38 Mbps, which is 46.44 Mbps or 18.4 percent higher than Hanoi’s speed of
\n251.94 Mbps.<\/p>\n

According
\nto Ookla, the rankings reflect global user testing data collected between June
\nand August 2026. The firm noted that test results can be influenced by multiple
\nvariables, including end-user devices, subscription packages, and testing
\nenvironments.<\/p>\n

According
\nto Vietnam\u2019s
\nMinistry of Science and Technology, the fixed broadband speed of 301.48
\nMbps demonstrates the efficiency of ongoing investments in fiber optics,
\ntransmission infrastructure, and access network upgrades. Meanwhile, the rapid
\nincrease in mobile speeds reflects the positive impact of 5G commercialization.<\/p>\n

Since
\nSeptember 16, mobile telecommunications operators in Vietnam have officially
\nterminated 2G mobile network services, excluding specialized geographic areas
\nsuch as Truong Sa, Hoang Sa, and DK1 platforms, to reallocate radio spectrum
\n(900MHz and 1800MHz) for 4G and 5G deployment.<\/p>\n

This
\ntransition extends beyond retiring legacy technology, representing a strategic
\nreallocation of infrastructure resources from low-efficiency networks to modern
\ntechnologies, particularly 4G and 5G. As mobile subscribers transition to
\nbroadband-capable devices, the addressable market for digital service expansion
\nexpands accordingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to the August 2026 Speedtest Global Index figures released by network intelligence firm Ookla, Vietnam’s median mobile…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":880783,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[4,28,65806,55387,27283,103384,152,188678,370061,370062,161239,25526,26675,174,2994,3,111,11904,74,370060],"class_list":["post-880782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-internet","tag-breaking-news","tag-business","tag-commodity","tag-corporate","tag-economic-news","tag-equity-markets","tag-finances","tag-financial-market-news","tag-foreign-exchange-news","tag-fund-markets","tag-industrial-news","tag-initial-public-offerings","tag-international-relations","tag-internet","tag-investing","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-securities","tag-technology","tag-vietnam-economic-times"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=880782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/880783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=880782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=880782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=880782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
