This result is based on 365,631 IP addresses in Vietnam through 1,459,262 speed tests. In which, basing on IP address, Hanoi has the highest downloading speed in Vietnam with 10.08 Mbps, and Ho Chi Minh city (9.16 Mbsp) and Can Tho 6.55 Mbps) rank the 2nd and the 3rd respectively.
Also according to Speedtest, in Hanoi, the Internet network provided by CMC has the highest downloading speed of 16.64 Mbps while this speed of the network provided by VNPD is only 15.60 Mbps, while that of FPT is 10.35 Mbps. And in Ho Chi Minh city, the network provided by CMC still has the highest speed (28.19 Mbps), EVN Telecom ranks the second with the speed of 10.69 Mbps, then FPT Telecom and VNPT only rank the third and fifth with the speed of 10.17 Mbps, 7.73 Mbps.
