Fastest internet provider in Saigon

Post new topic

jakejas

Can anyone shed some light on how to get the fastest internet speed at your house? I have a fiber-optic line direct to my bedroom, but sometimes the DSL to my sister-in-laws is faster. Neither one is fast enough to play online games, but there are online game shops in the same neighborhood, so it seems that there is a way to get fast internet to the area. Can anyone shed some light on this topic?

U should contact directly to Internet provider like VNPT or FPT.

I used quite a few providers. Imho, VNPT is best, then Viettel, then SCTV, then FPT. Internet shops use normally a very highspeed package, which can cost from 800k up to 2 mil. a month.

Speedtest and a few other services told me that CMC was the best, and I believe it.  I've been through both FPT and Viettel-- not so hot.  YOu can usually find their pricing charts online, and if you contact the companies, you'll find that their agents are more than happy to skype with you :)!

I guess viettel enjoys a strong brand:  all of my local friends recommended it, but when I checked out performance stats, CMC won every time.  Here's their rep's skype:
