I also think it won't improve to load pages faster. But in my case, i will be able to handle more download/upload as I'm having a NAS at home. I might give a try with Viettel 200m, as I used VNPT 200m for quite some time now, and could ... Read More

700m is impressive! Same for upload? I'm only at 200m with VNPT (DL/UP) and I was keen to find something even better. Viettel might be a new option. (I was considering FPT SOC 1GPBS, but not available in HCMC from what I understood). I'll ... Read More
