Just checked my FPT ADSL bandwidth with Speakeasy’s Seattle server.
Downloads: 293 kb/s
Uploads: 498 kb/s
With Speedtest’s Singapore server, I got the following bandwidth results:
Downloads: 382 kb/s
Uploads: 505 kb/s
Hmm, isn’t the downloads supposed to be significantly higher than they uploads?
I hope they resolve the bandwidth issues soon.
I decided to test my bandwidth speeds with both Speakeasy and Speedtest. I am surprised at the speeds right now:
Speakeasy (Seattle server):
2402 kbps Download Speed
516 kpbs Upload Speed
Speedtest (Singapore Server):
2558 kbps Download Speed
319 kbps Upload Speed
How long this will last? Speeds have been improving in Vietnam. I actually expect things to improve even more by the end of the year.
Unfortunately, the filtering of websites still slows the internet down if you plan to surf on sites located outside of Vietnam.
I was using pacman to update my Arch Linux Desktop this morning. As it was downloading OpenOffice, I was shocked to see how fast the downloads were. The average was roughly in the low 200s KB/s but I would see short spikes to 600 KB/S and then to 700 KB/s. It went has high as 1100 KB/s which was something I had not seen for a couple years.
I headed to Speakeasy which tested my current download speeds at 1717 kb/s on the Seattle server.
Sometimes you can get these early morning spikes for bandwidth. The best times are normally between 6-8 AM on weekdays when everybody begins to head to work 
OpenOffice ended up downloading in less 3 minutes, the whole binary package. That never happens very often here.
I think this could be a small sign that the internet infracture may be getting better here. Then again, I have said that many times in the past
