If your having problems with the internet like I have the past few days don't bother calling VNPT or who ever your ISP is. The dang cable broke again. the first story in the link explains:

Hi Budman,

VNPT have had its share of issues.  I have been frustrated with them for almost a year now.  I cannot wait until my contract with them is over.

For me, it has always been the router that VNPT had provided me with.  It says D-Link on there, but it works like nothing compares to the same in the States.  In less than a year, I am already on my third one.  But, as long as VNPT is providing them, I am fine.

The locals have told me that Viettel internet service is much better.  Check that out.

Best wish,
Howie

Vietnam's broadband speed is pathetic. Even if you increase it, its still feels the same.:lol::lol:
