Today the Internet is widely available throughout most towns and cities in Vietnam.
Almost all of the hotels that we stay at offer free Internet access from at least one or two computers located in the lobby or downstairs area. Cyber cafés are also available almost everywhere.
If you are bringing your own laptop, notebook or netbook computer, many of the hotels provide free wireless Internet connections right in your room.
Other hotels provide in room “wired” instead of “wireless” Internet access. They also provide the Cat-5 cable to connect your computer to the network. You might want to bring alone your own Cat-5 cable in case theirs is missing or damaged.
When using the cyber cafés, the hotel provided computers or the hotel’s computer networks, you should assume that all of these networks are unsecured and you should take all necessary precautions to protect your personnel information while using these resources.
Remember that the power supply voltage may vary from that at home, risking damage to your equipment. See our FAQ “Is the electricity different in Vietnam”.
