Global internet connection stabilized

Vietnam’s internet connection to the world has been stabilized after four of the five international undersea cables that were damaged last year and early this year have now been repaired, according to the Department of Telecommunications at the Ministry of Information and Communications.

Among the four cables, AAG is an important cable route that accounts for the majority of internet connection capacity from Vietnam to the world. It also directly connects Southeast Asia with the US.

The remaining Asia Pacific Gateway (APG) internet cable that connects Vietnam with the rest of Asia is still experiencing errors.

The APG, with 10,400 km of cable under the Pacific Ocean, has the largest bandwidth connecting to Vietnam. It is expected to be fixed in June.
