Along with the implementation of the first high-speed 10Gbps internet infrastructure project in Vietnam, VNPT is currently maintaining a reserve level of international internet transmission channels of up to more than 40% capacity, ready to serve customers in all cases.

According to VNPT representative, with the current capacity, VNPT ensures fast connection speed to international servers even during peak hours. During peak hours, the international internet bandwidth usage only accounts for approximately 60% of VNPT's available channel capacity. At the same time, VNPT also reserves up to 40% of international internet capacity, ready to serve customers in all cases, meeting the quality standards of the Ministry of Information and Communications.

VNPT is currently working closely with submarine cable management units to speed up the repair of the APG submarine cable. It is expected that the repair of the APG line will be completed in June, contributing to strengthening capacity and increasing VNPT's international internet capacity reserve ratio to 60%.

VNPT is currently maintaining a reserve level of international internet transmission channels of up to more than 40% capacity.

Along with capacity reserve for bandwidth growth needs, VNPT's internet quality is guaranteed to be higher than the national average.

According to VNPT's quality monitoring results, download speed in May fluctuated from 92Mbps to 111Mbps, upload speed reached 92.09Mbps, higher than the average of network operators nationwide (according to the announcement of Vietnam Internet Center, Ministry of Information and Communications).

VNPT's quality monitoring results show that the download and upload speeds of VNPT's internet network are both higher than the national average in May 2023.

In September 2021, the Ministry of Information and Communications launched the National Digital Transformation Program, with the goal of fiber optic Internet infrastructure connecting 80% of households and 100% of communes by 2025. As the telecommunications group with the largest internet market share in Vietnam (according to Global Data's 2022 Report on Vietnamese Telecommunications Network Operators), VNPT is not only a pioneer in applying new technologies in providing high-quality services but also a pioneer in investing in modern network infrastructure systems to serve the needs of national digital transformation.

Recently, VNPT has also cooperated with Nokia Group to bring 10 Gbps broadband technology to Vietnam for the first time. With this technology, internet users can choose a service package with a speed of up to 10 Gbps. The initial deployment phase will connect 10,000 households and businesses in the 8 largest cities and provinces in the country, building the best telecommunications platform to deploy digital transformation solution ecosystems for the government and businesses.

VNPT has been investing in 4 new submarine cable lines, expected to add 18TB of international traffic.

VNPT has also participated in research on standards and testing towards multi-connection 7th generation Wifi with speeds up to 30Gps. Currently, VNPT has invested in 4 new submarine cable lines, of which the SJC-2 line is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of this year, adding 18TB of international traffic for users in Vietnam.
