Vietnam currently leads Southeast Asia in mobile Internet speed.

Speedtest, a platform specializing in measuring and evaluating Internet connection performance, has just announced the Speedtest Global Index ranking for September 2026. The results recorded a significant improvement in Internet speed in Vietnam, especially in mobile networks.

Specifically, mobile Internet download speed in Vietnam reached 230.31Mbps in September, a significant increase compared to 151.78Mbps in January 2026. Thanks to that, Vietnam increased from 29th to 8th position on the global rankings.

This is the first time Vietnam's mobile Internet has entered the group of 8 countries with the fastest connection speeds in the world. With this result, Vietnam ranked 5th in Asia, behind the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait and South Korea.

Notably, if considering Southeast Asia alone, Vietnam is currently leading in mobile Internet speed.

According to Speedtest data, the global average mobile Internet download speed in September reached 110.41Mbps, while upload speed reached 13.99Mbps. Thus, the download speed in Vietnam is about 2.1 times higher than the world average.

Vietnam's fixed internet ranks 10th in the world

Not only mobile networks, fixed broadband Internet in Vietnam also maintains its position in the group of countries with the fastest connection speeds globally.

In September 2026, fixed Internet download speed in Vietnam reached 297.64Mbps, upload speed reached 253.53Mbps. Our country's ranking increased from 12th at the beginning of the year to 10th in the world.

However, this result is still lower than the best achievement that Vietnam has ever achieved this year. In May 2026, Vietnam's fixed Internet rose to 7th place globally.

In Asia, Vietnam ranks 6th in fixed Internet download speed, behind Singapore, UAE, Hong Kong (China), Macao (China) and Thailand. In Southeast Asia, Vietnam ranked third, behind Singapore and Thailand.

Singapore continues to be the world leader in fixed Internet speeds. In September, the island nation recorded download speeds of 476.02Mbps and upload speeds of 374.33Mbps. According to statistics, Singapore holds the number one position for 11/12 months from September 2025.
