Increased Internet Speeds in Vietnam?

VNPT just announced they will increase internet speeds (and prices) for new and existing customers.  Some customers, depending on their packages, may see speeds increase between 1-9 Mbps!  That is quite impressive.

It would be nice to see if FPT and Viettel would follow.  Currently Viettel seems to be the star of reliable high speed bandwidth these days.

Currently with FPT, I am getting about 798 kbps download and 204 kpbs upload speeds.  In the evenings, downloads can go well over 1000 kbps now!!!  These are the same speeds I was getting back in April, 2004, when I started using ADSL with Viettel.  Things seem to be looking brighter in the future :)
