Any speed test to a Cambodian or Vietnam server is almost meaningless.
The Internet isn't hosted in PP or Hanoi. You have to change the server you are testing the connection to to a server in the USA where the vast amount of the 'internet' is hosted.
It is basically like having a motorway from your front door to the nearest town and them saying 'look you can drive your car at 200km/hr' but from your local town to the next city it is a single lane highway with huge tailbacks and you struggle to travel 10km in an hour. Great if you want to go to the local butchers in town but when you want to go to the supermarket in the city you are fucked.
If you are using Opennet and see 'FPT Telcom' in Vietnam as your local host then my feeling (from experience) is that Opennet have sold your connection on for a dollar or so a month and are pocketing the extra money. Ring up the help line and complain, they all know that they are cheating customers and if they won't offer you a proper connection as per your contract (specify download speed to the USA) change to a company that doesn't cheat you.
[edit] I just googled FTP and it seems they are the parent company for Opennet but whenever FTP shows up as my ISP (as opposed to Opennet) the service is shite.
When my contract runs out I am going to dig out my old 3G dongle and give it another go as back in 2010 it gave much better performance than I am getting now and I don't remember having to wait 20 seconds to load a simple web page.[/edit]
