I'm in central Vietnam now, speed is exactly the same as yesterday. 300mb/s. I tested on speedtest.net to a Singapore server. Ping is 58ms though, I don't know

- MichaelZuo 4y agoI often see this happen on HN where seemingly easy to verify claims made by parent and child comment directly contradict each other.
- zamadatix 4y agoOften I think it’s tempting to take claims more generally than they are stated. Based on the information in the article speeds across Vietnam have indeed slowed to a crawl. We would like to interpret that as all outbound connections for anyone in any area of the country have all slowed down to a crawl and while that is the simplest and most direct take it’s not really the claim being made. Even the article does some work pointing out its not everyone, not all the time, and not all connections are equally impacted (e.g. one person switching to a wireless connection which was now working faster than their wired).
- esperent 4y agoA day later and some friends have been frantically messaging about zoom calls and slack not working. Meanwhile I've tested several times with connections to Singapore, San Francisco, Berlin, and I get a steady 300mb/s every time, and slack is fine (didn't test zoom). We live in the same town, within 5km of each other. So maybe it depends on the ISP?
