Decoding the "golden formula" to bring Vietnam's 5G network to lead Southeast Asia

From Ookla organization is not only a technological step forward, but also a clear proof that mobile quality in Vietnam is approaching the strict experience standards of the world.

Not just speed: The solution from the international testing system

Most mobile users still often assume that the power of the 5G network lies in data download speed. However, to gain the leading position in the region in Quarter III and Quarter IV/2025, VinaPhone had to meet a much more comprehensive "formula" of evaluation from Ookla.

Specifically, the Speed Score index (assessing speed and responsiveness) accounts for 50% of the total score. In this category, VinaPhone achieved 75.48 points, creating a gap of up to 8% compared to the network operator ranked behind. In fact, this advantage helps users minimize lag or interruption when accessing the Internet via VinaPhone 5G. This parameter also proves that VinaPhone, the 5G network operator, has the fastest speed in Vietnam.

Notably, the remaining 50% of points are divided equally by Ookla for two criteria that directly reflect customers' daily experiences in the digital environment: Web browsing (Web loading performance is 25%) and Video streaming (Video viewing smoothness is 25%). Achieving high scores in all three criteria affirms that VinaPhone's network excellently meets all needs and brings the highest experience to customers. Users can smoothly access a series of websites serving work, study, information lookup, and at the same time enjoy the experience of watching online video and livestream with high resolution without being interrupted by waiting time and latency.

Infrastructure goes one step ahead: Stations "understand" users

The outstanding achievement on the international testing platform is the result of a methodical infrastructure planning strategy prepared early by VNPT Group. Right from the initial stage, the arrangement of broadcasting stations was calculated based on a traffic forecasting model and user density analysis. Thanks to that, areas with high data demand such as urban centers, industrial parks or airports are prioritized for early coverage, helping the system not to be overloaded and maintain stable speed even when traffic surges.

In addition to effectively exploiting the medium band to balance coverage and transmission speed, VNPT also made its mark by gradually deploying an independent 5G network architecture. This model does not depend on the old 4G infrastructure, thereby optimizing resources and significantly reducing network latency.

To ensure real-world experience, each broadcasting station must overcome a strict multi-layer measurement process with scenarios such as high density access, online gaming or high-resolution video transmission. Combined with a continuous KPI monitoring system, network performance is always flexibly adjusted according to each traffic area, bringing uniform connection quality to users.

Business class experience universalization

In parallel with upgrading international standard infrastructure, this network operator also shows efforts to popularize 5G technology through a flexible package ecosystem, suitable for the cost problem of diverse customer files.

For young people, content creators or those who regularly do online business, the SODA125 package is a prominent solution when it provides up to 8GB of Data/day for 30 days, free MyTV Mobile TV viewing, free data access to MyTV, TikTok and YouTube applications.

By combining superior infrastructure capacity and optimal product range, VinaPhone has truly brought the "best 5G network operator in Vietnam and Southeast Asia" experience to users in the digital age.
