Phở no! Vietnam's last working submarine cable glitches out
on February 21, four of the five cables connecting Vietnam to the world either stopped working or were delivering a degraded service.that the fifth cable – SMW-3 – has experienced a disruption on its Singapore-Vietnam leg.
Local telco Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group told local media SMW-3 is not used for broadband services, so its operational issues aren't impacting internet services across the nation.As it happens, this hack holidayed in Vietnam over the New Year's period and experienced decent speeds on hotel Wi-Fi and cellular services on a trip that didn't take me far off the beaten track.
The quality of service I experienced may have been down to Vietnamese telcos having apparently been able to boost the bandwidth they use on the two cables that still offer some services.
