Maybe in Bangkok but definately not in Issan country. Its the same in Bangkok, if you actually speed test your connection it can be way lower than payed for. And even when its up to speed what websites are hosted in Thailand? They are all overseas and the overseas speeds here are sheeittee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in a building sharing a single cable (from the street) with with many other residents. Either broker a deal with the other residents to get them to go entertain themselves outside of the building so that you can surf the internet alone, or consider finding yourself another domicile... preferably a single 'family' home.

sjbrownderby Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Just now on 3BB. I live in a small Isaan village. My internet speed has got faster as networks have been upgraded over the past few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. That's why I terminated the contract with True early and went to AiS - but it's even worse than True. Since I am thinking of moving to Cha-Am, I asked AiS what they can offer me there. Answer: Nothing! So I would have to switch back to True if I move. They offer - up to - 1 Gbps fibre there ... My contract is 500/200 Mbps - AiS to AiS very fast ... AiS to Germany - worse ....

TSF Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I got DTAC pre-paid 10mb unlimited d/l sim in my smart phone. I hot spot that and connect my laptop, my wife's smartphone and the smart TV. I have no complaints at all, I d/l music from various blogs all day long on my laptop, while watching news and movies on the TV, while my wife is playing around on FB or watching cooking vids on YT. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 You really need ultra-fast internet so that you can't look at all the websites that the Ministry of Thought Control blocks, and of course it helps you be unable to buy alcohol online after the government banned it. Amazing Thailand, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soi3eddie Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 As an aside to comments about international connectivity speeds, a great many websites will use caching servers either in Thailand or in the region (Cloudflare CDN has servers in Bangkok and Google has servers in Singapore). This means that for many websites, you are not connecting all across the world but are retrieving data from a local location at a much higher speed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in Bangkok but definately not in Issan country. Ubon - I use True 500/500Mbps upload & download. Fast! Speed testing regularly confirms I do get these speeds. It does occasionally go down when the weather is severe, or a cable gang is stealing the wires overnight! Faults are usually fixed within a few hours. I get all three services (WiFi / TV/ Phone) for 699 (799 - I can't remember) a month +89 baht for speed boost. Cheap!

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. you are clearly with the wrong provider, or you phone, computer, are just rubbish i have used TOT, when in Chiang Rai, and AIS, here in Hua Hin. Both are fantastic. Never a problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyinNE Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Dunroamin, I just ran my speed in Nong Khai, which is way up in Issan, and got 580.4 Download, 344.1 Upload and 16.23 Latency. The Upload and Latency numbers are a lot worst than usual for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtco Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I called out 3BB because my download sped was abysmal even with the super-duper 5g and associated router. They checked it and what did they suggest? Connect to you router with an ethernet cable and you'll get the speed you want!!! Errr ... emmmm ... I don't always use my laptop in the same place in the house so if I wanted to move out of the home-office onto the back porch I would have to disconnect the ethernet cable and back then to my slow speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever it does happen though the 3BB engineers are out in all hours and all weathers to fix it (as are the electricity people when the same thing happens) and the problem is fixed very quickly.

soi3eddie Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 No complaints here in Sanampao, Bangkok. In the last 11 years I've had TOT (slow), AIS (faster) and now 3BB (blazing fast). Costs have fallen dramatically to just 690 Baht/Month for 1000/500 Mbps Fiber with WiFi 6 AX router. Even on my phone it gives 700/550 on speed test over WiFi6. On LAN cable 900+/550 Mbps. On all of the operators service has been great with rarely any outages (if connection is important then always have a Plan B such as a 4G connection on your mobile to use as a hotspot).

superal Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I pay 800 baht a month to 3BB for 1 gb fiber but get 60 mbps down and up . 3BB techs have been to my place a dozen or more times but cannot resolve the problem . Thay will not allow me to cancel without paying for the full 2 year contract plus the installation cost . Consequently my iptv often freezes even during the small hours . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ours is at snail pace we call and they come and Check ,Haha ,they call the Office and they Turn it up a bit . Fixed they say ,A couple days later they start turning it Down till we call again. They can put people on the moon and video/talk to them but can't even give people good reception Sat TV or a decent internet.
