As of October this year, Vietnam’s fixed and mobile broadband Internet speeds ranked 10th and 15th globally, respectively.

 The Internet Day 2025 opened in Hanoi on December 17
with the theme “Internet Must Be Safer”.

With nearly 80 million users, the Internet has become an
indispensable part of people’s daily lives in Vietnam, with an average usage time of about
7 hours per day, according to Mr. Vu Hoang Lien, Chairman of the Vietnam
Internet Association.

However, he noted that the most pressing challenge today no
longer lies in connection speed or coverage, but in building a trustworthy digital
space. 

Addressing the event, Deputy Minister of Science and
Technology Pham Duc Long said as Vietnam moves into a new stage of development,
the central challenge is no longer to increase the coverage or speed of the
Internet, but to proactively shape its development to fully leverage the
obtained achievements in support of fast, sustainable, and inclusive growth.

As of October this year, Vietnam’s fixed and mobile broadband Internet
speeds ranked 10th and 15th globally, respectively.

After nearly a year of commercial rollout, the 5G network
now covers 59% of the population, laying a critical foundation for the digital
economy, digital government and digital society.
