Repair has been finished on two of the five broken undersea cables linking Vietnam with the world, namely Intra Asia (IA) and SMW3, according to the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC).

Vietnam’s international Internet connections have been improved step by step after technical measures are taken and more data flows on land-based cables are opened up, according to the Vietnam Telecommunications Authority under the Ministry of Information and Communications.

Telecommunication firms have pledged to ensure smooth Vietnam’s international Internet connections from February 10 night.

Vietnamese internet service providers have confirmed that four out of five submarine internet cables that connect the country to the world are experiencing issues, seriously affecting performance and reliability.

Three international undersea cable lines that make up the majority of Internet connection capacity from Vietnam to the world have encountered problems, resulting in sluggish Internet speed across the country, according to operators.
