Vietnam’s internet landscape has transformed dramatically over the past decades, evolving from dial-up connections in the 1990s to today's fiber-optic networks and upcoming satellite services. This report provides a comprehensive overview of internet connectivity in Vietnam as of 2023–2025, covering the infrastructure backbone, usage patterns, key players, government policies, costs and speeds, challenges, innovations, and how Vietnam compares with its regional neighbors. Fiber-Optic and Fixed-Line Networks: Vietnam has made fiber-optic broadband the cornerstone of its fixed internet infrastructure. In recent years, legacy copper ADSL lines have largely been replaced or bypassed by fiber-to-the-home services in urban areas. As of mid-2024, 82.2% of households using fixed broadband were connected via fiber-optic cable, indicating the dominance of FTTH technology. This reflects concerted efforts by providers to expand high-speed fiber access nationwide. The government’s Digital Infrastructure Strategy 2025 explicitly targets universal fiber availability: by 2025, every household is envisioned to have access to fiber-optic internet. Major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City boast extensive fiber networks, and even many smaller provinces are now reached by fiber backbones. Digital cable and DSL broadband still exist in some locales, but they form a shrinking portion of subscriptions as fiber rollout continues.
