I know it was not me you replied too. I agree with your sentiment but only if this was done in the bank with the person selling it in bank uniform on bank papers ect.

 

The fact that it was a bank employee makes it indeed sound more safe (but do we know if the transactions were done in the bank or not?)

 

But like you i would not go for it as most people with a bit of sense would find this dangerous, but then again if done in the bank that is really a mitigating circumstance. I mean it would make it seem far more plausible (but still)

 

 

I don't have an opinion about what happened either way. I am only commenting on the fact that is was people with 800k deposits who were affected and the rather nasty opinions of a particular member.

Literally roaring with laughter at the thought of people losing millions. What kind of person does that?

Nasty, nasty, nasty.....

You should already have learned something from your unpleasantly expressed opinions here.

These people were not looking at annual interest, since the money was to be available for their extensions.

So the scam was short term investment. 3.5% per month for the time when the money was not needed in the account would not sound unreasonable, especially if sold in a bank by a bank employee.

I would not go for it; but I also would not mock and deride anyone who did fall for it.

So why so nasty about it?

You have clearly made a bad impression with me. Your English is but one aspect.

My question was simply, why do you appear so filled with glee that others have lost their money?

Do you feel that somehow it will flow into your account and therefore you have reason to celebrate?

What is the reason for your mocking over-excitement at their misfortune?

Why the nasty comment suggesting that it might be people taking the agent route and instead investing their money?

Nasty, nasty, nasty....

The difference is your verbal diarrhea is totally made up and mocking in appearance; whereas I recall some of the victims specifically quoting that their 800k deposits were involved.

Why, pray tell me, are you so filled with glee that people have lost their money? It looks a very ugly trait from where I am sitting.

What is happening in your life that makes you react in this way?

Do you not having family or friends who can advise you during these mental abberations?

My thoughts are that if you were even as half as smart as you appear to think you are; you might have deduced that it is likely the other way around.

 

Well you just stepped / slipped over the immigration rule that 5 month 's the money must be complete 800K...., and 7 months  400k complete , so that individual  could not have acces  to that money for that very generous deal of 

3.5% a month ..... so that  just wipes out your conclusion about it ...

 

I hope you are not one of those duped ones ????????

So what about the other seven months for the 800k, Brainiac? Monthly interest a clue for you?

No, not involved at all; thank you for asking.

Again, my thoughts? Being a nasty mocking Troll is just ugly.

AIS, 600B up. No, not at all the only person that has my number is my wife. Changing my number would not be a problem.

If AIS reception is good for you and you are happy to stick with them, they have some unlimited data offers currently(so you don't need to worry about the amount of GBs, since they won't ever run out on these packages); 

Unlimited data capped at a speed of 4 Mbps @150 baht per month

Unlimited data capped at a speed of 10 Mbps @200 baht per month

Unlimited data capped at a speed of 20 Mbps(Available only in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pathum Thani, Chanthaburi, Tak, Phuket, Chonburi, Nakhon Ratchasima, Rayong, Chumphon, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Lopburi, Chiang Rai, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan) @300 baht per month

You can apply unlimited AIS to AIS calls for free. Unlimited any network calls another 59 baht per month.

To qualify to subscribe to any of these packages; you need to obtain a new AIS SIM and to apply the package within seven days of activating the new SIM.

No need for a new phone. 

Obviously between yourself and the staff member concerned there was some confusion about you wanting a 5G plan.

These packs are accessible via 4G, so no issues with using your current device. Forget about asking at the AIS shops or service centres, as they don't know about these plans. Just get the 50 baht SIM from them.

There are cheaper options from the other networks, but if you are happy with the speeds and reception with AIS; it's a good reason to stay.

Alternatively, AIS also have a capped speed(10 Mbps) and capped data(100 GB per month) package(Marathon SIM) lasting for one year for a one time payment of 1550 baht and 1790 baht.

This includes 100 GB of capped speed data per month, unlimited AIS to AIS calls(30 minutes per call and then hang up to dial again) and 60 minutes per month of calls to any network. All for as little as 130 baht per month.

So limited data or unlimited data; it's your choice.

Recently I visited my cell phone provider, needing more giga bites, and inquired about upgrading my plan, I was told that I needed to purchase a new phone. Anyone have similar experience's? It seems odd that they can't use my existing phone and just update my plan.

How much are you paying currently and with which network?

Are you open to obtain a new SIM and number? Is your current phone Single or Dual SIM?

I activated the SIM on another device. All I needed was the bar code and number. It took time before I got it approved, though. I never did get a text to my other number that it had been activated, so it took even longer. The 20 Mbps package would only have worked if the Lazada seller had activated it, so they gave me a reseller code for 10 Mbps. The problem was that they had sent a piece of paper warning about that, ONLY in Thai. I should have done a Google Lens on that, but didn't. So I have to live with 10 Mbps, which actually is enough. I just wanted to try 20 Mbps.

So what was the point of that complicated scenario? I still don't get it.

As I tried to tell; it matters WHERE the SIM is activated. The 20 Mbps pack can only be activated in 15 out of 77 provinces.

Which is why I suggested you activated it via a vendor in the first instance.

Easier to just arrive at BKK, buy a 50 baht SIM, apply 300 baht and then apply the code for 20 Mbps. 

Why you went through such a long winded path is unknown.

Nothing stopping you from still doing it. But run a speed test with a full speed volume mini pack to test you can actually get 20 Mbps at your location.

If I can afford it, yes.

 

What's your definition of "expensive; though relatively inexpensive" ?

I mean if you are thinking of implant tethered dentures; then I would imagine something like eight would be needed. If so; then you are looking at a minimum of 360,000 baht....and that would be relatively inexpensive in comparison to Bangkok prices. There I would expect prices in excess of 500k.

But it's not just about the money; but confidence in the person doing the work. Lots of little details that make the experience more comforting and less fraught. Little details like numbing the gums with anaesthetic, prior to administering local anaesthetic by needle. So there is no discomfort even from the beginning.

Small details to help put you at ease.....and, no as the Americans would say, 'nickel and diming'.

So a personal recommendation for the dental surgeon.

@Bruno123 Upon further reflection the first thing that I want to do is go to my old house location and test the dBm on the True SIM.  I never did that.  I want to see how much better the reading is than here at the current location.  I also want to check if it is the same band.  It is about 15 minutes from here but in the direction of the bigger town where the phone tower is located.

 

There is a triband repeater available that uses a higher gain unidirectional antenna for circa 2K thb.  It has good reviews.  To alleviate your fears I am going to put all my eggs in the TRUE basket I might get that one if the budget allows:

There is a sale on 12.12 on lazada and they are already adumbrating their sales prices for some of the listed repeaters.  I will buy on that day.

I don't have fears about it. It is exactly what you are doing.

You rudely refuse to publish any speed tests from the SIMs and only publish what suits you. Yet you expect people to continue to give freely to you. 

Speed test from the AIS SIM if you please. If you cannot be bothered, then perhaps I should rethink ever trying to help you again.

Of course the costs will be considerably below the prices in Bangkok.

I can hand on heart state that I don't think I could have picked a better person. First class in every respect.

If you were thinking about full mouth dentures anchored by titanium implants; that could get expensive; though still relatively inexpensive.

Thanks for your input.  At this stage I have no intention to go for a sim router.  At my old house I had a better phone signal than where I am at present and my TRUE unlimited data sim 10mbps ran just fine.  I could have multiple movie and other windows open and the speed was sufficient for my needs.  I was using the same phone I currently still have.

 

If I bought a sim router I would still have to buy a roof top aerial (that was 4g compatible) and a run of at least 10m of coax cable and would have to ensure that the coaxial was fitted with the correct sma or N male or female ends to fit the router and the aerial.  It is very difficult to see from the pictures on Shopee or Lazada what type of aerials a router has, if they can screw off, and what thread size/type is.  Then you also have to know which aerial(2) is for the incoming phone signal...how can you tell that?

 

I have identified that my True data SIM is running on Band 8 @ 900mhz.  I can buy a phone repeater kit that includes a unidirectional yagi aerial, 10 meters of coax, repeater unit and a inside ceiling mounted phone signal aerial for under 1000 baht including delivery.  I can mount the outdoor aerial up on the roof pointing directly towards the closest tower.  Then I can mount the repeater unit inside near an available power outlet and directly above my computer.  I connect to the internet using the usb tethering on my phone.

 

This is the best deal I can find on the kit I want to buy. If anyone wants to provide me with reasons why I should not buy this kit have at it.  I am all ears:

I suspected that you would try to build your project around the Truemove H SIM ????

What speeds are you getting on the SIM outside the property? That will give you an indication of the speeds you'll be getting inside the property if you can transfer that signal inside.

I can understand your want to spend as little as possible on the project. Wanting to get the job done by spending the least possible. It might work out for you.....or it might not.

Buying the cheapest possible product with the lowest gain might improve the signal marginally, but not enough for it to run as it did in your other home or maybe it will.

If it doesn't then perhaps purchasing a higher gain antenna will.

You pays yer money and you takes your choices.

Building your whole indoor communication system on a single obscure band and a single network appears mildly risky.

Nothwithstanding; let's look at the facts and figures:

True SIM is receiving LTE B8 900mhz @ -102 dBm: Spotty and slow? 

AIS SIM is receiving LTE B3 1800mhz @ -92 dBm: Seems to me to have the best chance of a reliable connection.

But if you want to give the Truemove H SIM a chance at life in the new house and are happy to pay 1,000 baht to see if you can; it's not bank breaking.

Though from the figures and despite your so obvious refusal to publish the AIS speedtest result; I'll say go with AIS for a more reliable connection.

96 kbps upload on the Truemove H SIM is worse than pitiful. You are no longer at your old home. Things change; be flexible.

@Adumbration as an FYI not all routers and aerials are the same.....not trying to point out the obvious BUT some of these manufacturers are disengenuous; no surprise in this day and age ????

I've been doing some research myself (I'm in mainland europe at mo) and '4G LTE' comes mainly in cat4 and cat6 flavour, cat4 does up to 150mb, cat6 up to 300mb methinks (often called 4g+ or aggregation)

dunno if cat6 is widely available in Thailand?

Also see this router pic? Methinks it is only lte cat4 and the 300mb on the front is referring to the wifi speed! sneaky......

I was looking at some tp-link routers recently...one was 4g compatible BUT you needed a usb dongle to use a 4g sim, it had a single round aerial for wifi

Another one had a sim slot built in......it had 2 LTE aerials! (no wifi aerials from the sounds of it) and both aerials were flat....

here's a 'dodgy router' pretending to support lte cat6....

 

CAT. 4 has two antenna in the specification. 

CAT.6 routers are available, from 3,000 baht.

Newer smartphones will be 2CA and 3CA capable.

Though to be fair; AIS is usually my first choice these days; but I have unlimited, as 100 GB per month is nothing when tethering.

Oh my, some people take things a little too seriously.

 

There is absolutely nothing wrong with demonstrating your knowledge but why not just make your suggestion, let people do their own research and make their own minds up?

First of all; take note, this is not your thread. You have just piggy-backed on someone else's thread.

So in fact the advice is not for you, I just took the trouble of replying to your post. You are welcome.

The fact that you haven't a clue and are thanking someone for lying to and misleading you, demonstrates that fact all too clearly.

I made my suggestion and have no problem with people doing their own research. Show me where that is not the case?

I have had no discussion with the people with whom I have advised, so how could it not be the case where I have given advice and left them to it.

If you are referring to someone who has deliberately posted lies and misinformation designed to mislead....do you think it's okay to leave that unchecked?

Do you think it's okay to post that the MR-6400 is a CAT-6 device? Do you think it's okay for someone to insist that there is no difference between speeds when utilising CA against when it is not available?

Better you keep your mouth shut since this is not your thread and you clear know nothing about the subject. So why don't you go away to do your research, as opposed to continuing to hijack someone else's thread?

I have little doubt that millymoopoo mistook you for the OP. Goodbye; you are now on ignore.

https://dentalhospitalthailand.com/about-dental-hospital-bangkok/sleep-dentistry/

was the first thing that popped up on Google.

I had a similar issue. Wanted things tided up, but had horrible experiences with dentists when younger.

Did extensive research and ended up using a hospital in Sri Racha. I think the extra cost was 10k to 15k at the time. They asked me to count to ten and I don't remember anything until after I woke up.

Very happy with the service provider. Though the dental surgeon involved has since moved to private practice.

So you'd need to follow up with the hospital and/or surgeon if you were interested.

I still use the same dental surgeon. In fact I fly to Thailand especially for that purpose. No need for general after the first experience; as of course it's mostly to do with anxiety. Once I realised the pain was actually minimal or non-existent, I just decided to relax and allow them to get on with it. 

With the right dental surgeon, everything is relatively painless and comfortable.

In fact she did a filling almost without telling me. I had no idea that it was already done when she finished.

Contrast that with the horrible experience of what seemed like Black & Decker drills being used on your teeth as a child ????

The dentist in my country could not even get the seating position right. Useless.

So glad I walked out and made the decision to have the work done in Thailand. Saved a chunk of cash that way too.

So why choose to throw mud pointlessly.?

Maybe you delight in it.?

Had you bothered to read the device I mentioned TP link MR6400 is a cat6 4g device capable of carrier aggregation.

And what, do we not talk about the provider (telco) limitations, or the limitations caused by the traffic, or the distance from the tower.?

And who really cares anyhow, all the OP wants is a device to connect to the 4g network, a little more permanent than using their phones hotspot all the time.!

Most just want the internet to work and are not interested an how or why.!

End of.!

My aim is true. No need for wild guesses and Trolling posts.

Even your description of the OP's needs is just made up nonsense.

His needs are clearly for a permanent and unlimited data connection; ruling out even battery operated Hotspots.

So a landline/Fibre replacement; rather than your attempt at gaslighting.

Yes we can talk about the provider limitations; which is why I mentioned to buy a SIM card and test it in the smartphone firstly. Smartphones are more likely to support CA.

Once decided on the network; one can buy a router to match.

No matter how much you choose to babble and obfuscate and to pretend that you know something; CA will offer higher speeds. For instance; where I am I have a strong signal for both Band 1 & Band 3. If my router was capable of CA and I had a full speed pack, I could expect much higher speeds; perhaps double.

Same with DTAC or Truemove H. Without CA, you will not see those speeds. You'll be limited to a single band at a time and with your router; you won't even be able to choose.

You are right; most people don't need to know how it works. That is why it is so important that we don't get people posting false information as fact and then gaslighting instead of admitting that they didn't know what they were writing about and furthermore, posting outright lies about the router being a CAT-6 device.

There is nowhere you will find such information and as such, you just made it up and posted it here; fooling poor recom273.

They need good advice in so they can have confidence to purchase any possible recommendations. Advice should not be given on the basis of lies in order to save face.

You got it wrong; leave it at that.

Some people here would rather die that admit they got it wrong. Seems you are now included on that list.

Back to the OP; if, for instance the OP can use the NT Wireless SIM based service; 999 baht for twelve months of full speed up to 100 Mbps data; CA will allow him to receive much higher speeds.

So always better to have the option.

MR-6400 is CAT-4 and, as an aside, doesn't offer 5 GHz wireless connection nor allow you to add your paid for VPN details within.

Also note that the OP stated that they were 'working' on a MAC. So it doesn't sound like someone who is looking at a casual connection. This is clearly a full replacement for land based Internet.

Test network SIM for available speeds and signal strength in the first instance and then buy the best router to exploit that network.

Offer sensible advice as opposed to making things up on the fly.

It's you whom is throwing mud and throwing guesses out there as fact. Pity the sad people reading your posts and thinking that you are right.

MR-6400 is CAT-4 and not capable of CA. Not only is it not capable of CA; but the stock firmware doesn't allow you to choose any Band at all. The only way to choose even single bands is to apply their Beta firmware.

You really should stop; you are just making yourself look unreliable and silly. Stop making things up and getting poor recom273 to agree with you; thinking somehow you posts have even a modicum of truth in them. It's sad. Stop trying to make a fool out of him and Trolling this thread with your misinformation.

4G: FDD-LTE Cat4 (800/900/1800/2100/2600 MHz),
TDD-LTE (2300/2500/2600 MHz)
3G: DC-HSPA+/HSPA+/HSPA/UMTS (900/2100 MHz)

Splitting hairs really.!

OK so I should have said  'and "almost" as fast as your SIM can provide.'

But realistically who's going to notice the difference and how.?

It's clear that you don't have any idea and are just throwing mud at the wall; hoping it will stick.

It's not "almost"; not even close:

Let's say you can get 20 Mbps per band. In simple terms, with 3CA, you can get three times more. So 20 Mbps to 60 Mbps. 

So people downloading/uploading large files, sharing a connection with the family, streaming 4k media.

Most people are utilising Carrier Aggregation on their phones without even realising it. It is more rare on 4G Routers.

If you don't know; then say you don't know, rather than choosing to mislead.
