Internet Connection Speed in Vietnam as of November 2015?

Saigon District 5, typical wireless at home. No black/brownouts in 7 months here.
Faster internet than I ever had in California or Queensland

How much is that costing you a month?

Rev, I live in an apartment, one of 8 in the building, and the landlord is a middle man for utilities. That must be standard practice, or I would have to deal with utility company contracts and deposits and bureaucracy in Vietnamese. No thanks!
He charges me 150.000 VND monthly. That converts to US$6.72 today.

OTOH, my friend's family live in a house, their bill is only 220.000 VND. I have not run a speedtest there, tho.

Can you run a speed test for us? speedtest.net

Let me read the image to you: 17M down, 16M up

I asked my friend who lives across the river, who I mentioned above,to run a speedtest. She has a different ISP service and the cheapest plan.


And let me read this one to you as well, sheesh:  11M down, 13M up

Thanks for sharing. The upload speed is nice there. May I ask who is your current service provider for your internet connection?

And one more. For fun I used the Hola VPN plugin in Chrome.
It connected to a server in Arizona.
14M up/15M down, but notice the slow ping because of the ocean cable.
Sometimes you might want to use VPN here, and sometimes it is unusably slow.

> who is your current service provider?
Dude, the images, it is all there
