Thailand’s home internet fastest in the world

By THE NATION

 

 

Broadband connections in Thailand are the fastest in the world, the latest Speedtest Global Index shows.

 

In December alone, Thailand topped the list with broadband speeds averaging at 308.35 megabits per second (mbps),

overtaking Singapore and Hong Kong, where the internet speeds average at 245.31mbps and 226.80mbps, respectively.

 

Meanwhile, Thailand’s mobile internet speed rose 11 positions, ranking 33 fastest in the world. The top three countries with the fastest mobile internet speeds are Qatar, UAE and South Korea, respectively.

 

 

According to the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission, Thailand had 50.1 million internet users in 2018, up from 47.55 million in 2018 and 45.18 million in 2017.

Cobblers. 
 

when I had broadband in the UK i never once had to call them up to find out why my net had gone down, only to be told that an outside cable had been blown down by the wind and they were replacing with a new one

 

or that the reason my connection is slow is that i have an ‘old’ router, even though it was only installed 6 months ago by the ISP themselves.... must pay 1,500 to upgrade to the most recent modem.. 

 

and never once has adverse weather conditions affected my internet in the UK. Here even if it rains a bit you stand a good chance of your net going down for the evening

 

Occasional fast speeds they may have here, but as usual it is the shocking infrastructure that lets the side down.

Having been marooned in two large cities in Texas the past 11 months, I can say my TOT fiber line (in the jungle) is far far faster than what my daughter has here.  The same goes for my AIS internet.  Faster.....and a world cheaper, too! TOT is now advertising 1gig fiber download speeds for the ridiculous price of 590 Baht per month.  TOT gave me my first fiber router several years ago, and gave me an improved version early last year.  Free.

Now if only the Thai government would actually make it easier for the country to benefit economically from this superfast internet. Watching YouTube and playing Facebook will not drive the economy. How about using connectivity to encourage businesses and individuals to relocate here? Of course that might require changes in visa and company regulations.

Number ONE again... I No see the end of the list.

Until last year or the year before I had the so called Wi-Net from TOT. That was 16 mbps, which was "fast" for me at that time. One day I got a visit from TOT and they asked us if we were interested in internet via fiber optics. It was 100 Baht per month cheaper and here speeds up to 300 mbps up and download! I have it now and it works great. No cap like in the US or Australia. Also I have mobile internet which is pretty fast too.

The internet speed in Thailand is only high, if you solely connect to domestic servers. When I connect to any server abroad, I will be lucky to get between 5 and 20 Mbit of the promised 1000 Mbit, that I pay True online for the fast fiber optic connection, when the speed slows down every evening, which is when I need the high speed.
