Maintenance to slow down Vietnam’s Internet speed for ten days

Your Internet speed might have been creeping over the last week but it will get even slower as a days-long maintenance period is scheduled for this weekend for the submarine cable system that enables Vietnam to connect to overseas service.

The Asia-America Gateway (AAG) underwater system will enter a ten-day major maintenance phase on Sunday, a representative from a local Internet service provider told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity.

This will greatly slow down Internet speed for users in Vietnam when they access services hosted outside the country.

Internet speed in the Southeast Asian country has been unstable and extremely slow at some points since May 26, when what was said to be a glitch occurred to the AAG.
