I heard they still get good bandwidth during the day. I had to switch to FPT here but they were never near the speeds of Viettel.

During peak hours we are completely unable to make a VOIP call. We can hear them but they cannot hear us (US transmitting to VN). But during off hours like very early in the morning it works perfectly. My phone system and VOIP skills are vindicated and now I think Trang understands that I did not cause this problem myself. :) Actually, it seems the time of day can greatly affect the quality of the network connection.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't :-) On Linux, Skype is still a bit behind in the development cycle. Do you mean webcam on Skype?

We are having problems too but it seems to have resolved itself. Anyway, I use Skype and it has been good, no problems with audio but i can't do video. Hey, this entry is interesting.

They load up websites located within Vietnam, use a bandwidth tester to show that they are getting the speeds they paid for. Well, I caught that once and when FPT came to my house, I used a bandwidth tester outside of Vietnam. Less than 56 kb/s. I could not load up Gmail that day. Etc., etc., etc. Finally the technician admitted that there are too many users and told me to wait a couple months. Well, it has been a couple of months, no bandwidth increase. I think Trang's mother should switch to Skype. It seems to work the best from Vietnam right now. USVoiz, VietnamVoiz and the other big VoiP here are suck right now. We can easily test it with my computer to your computer, right :-) Tracy,
