It’s not a product for ‘out and about’. That’s made very clear throughout. NT WIRELESS is a substitute for Fixed Point Internet. If you wanted to move around, then you could have purchased the equivalent product from NT MOBILE. The clue is in the name.

Run a speed test using https://testmy.net/ Some other ‘popular’ speed tests will show you inaccurate results for some mobile networks.

It’s a long time since the 15 Mbps Marathon SIM was 1490. That’s the price of the 8 Mbps product. It sounds as if it’s the first time you’ve renewed it, so how come it was 1490 baht for you but 1790 baht for the other poster in the same situation? A year ago it was 1790 baht or thereabouts. That’s confusing, but a very good result if accurate.

Nope. The Thai product is 45% sugar.

NO! It contains a small amount of milk product. You are just making assumptions. Let’s just say that those particular brands are under different ownership in Asia. Fraser & Neave are a company owned by CP. They have a different recipe and don’t call it Condensed Milk nor Evaporated Milk. Pick up a tin and take a look for yourself.

Sometimes I think that you don’t reside in Thailand at all, like so many of the posters here. Just sitting watching YouTube and making comments as if they were there. Next time, pick up one of the tins and get your girl to read the ingredients. You’d be shocked by the sounds of it. There is no Evaporated Milk nor Condensed Milk as you describe it. Those are products distributed elsewhere, but not in Thailand. In Thailand it’s a bit more ‘complicated’. They have ‘equivalents’ of Condensed and Evaporated Milk but not the actual products. Pick up the tin and READ the description. It will either state MILK PRODUCT or CREAMER. It WILL NOT state Condensed MILK nor Evaporated MILK. There is a reason for that. The Condensed product still has 45% of sugar. But the milk PRODUCTS within range from around 8% to 15% at best. Take a look for yourself.

How are the speeds now? Did she reboot phone or at least switch to Airplane Mode for a few seconds in order to reset the connection after the SIM profile was reset? If they agreed to do something then it sounds like an Unlimited SIM ‘accidentally’ put in the limited system.

The one in the picture is Condensed. The Pat Ong Go pictured on the can should have been the giveaway for you. But it’s not Condensed Milk anyway. It’s described as a Milk Product at best. Compare U.K version: to the local versions: https://www.saleeinter.com/17549999/sweetened-condensed-milk Nothing to do with Condensed Milk at all. Read all about it: “ Sweetened condensed milk is one of the staples of the Thai kitchen. We pour the gooey, creamy goodness on roti, bread, coffee, tea and more -- even topping it off with sugar sometimes. Its sweetness is liked by both children and adults. We can buy a can for about 20 baht in practically every shop that sells general goods. In the past, different countries producing lots of fresh milk would convert their products into either powdered or canned milk for ease of storage. The producers would evaporate the water out by half, with the milk ending up twice as thick. This is packed into cans. To consume, the evaporated milk is mixed with an equal amount of water to bring it back to its original condition. Originally, sweetened condensed milk was made with 55% evaporated milk and 45% sugar. As technology continued to develop, producers also started to become smarter (or sneakier) with their recipes. In sweetened condensed milk, milk fat is now being substituted with palm oil to reduce the cost of production. The removed fat is used to make cream and butter which can be sold at a higher price compared to milk. The non-dairy creamer -- or artificial creamer -- led to a booming business. According to Assoc Prof Dr Visith Chavasit, director of The Institute of Nutrition at Mahidol University, the product is nothing but saturated fat mixed with flour (glucose syrup) and added milk protein. To sum it up, for both sweetened condensed milk and non-diary creamer, there's barely any milk in them any more. Cans are now labelled as either "sweetened condensed milk product" or "sweetened condensed non-dairy creamer". A can of sweetened condensed milk on the market lists ingredients as 45% sugar, 10% non-fat powdered milk, 8% palm oil, 5% low-fat powdered milk and 4.5% whey powder. Comparatively, a can of sweetened condensed non-dairy creamer is 48% sugar, 10% palm oil, 7.6% glucose syrup, 5.6% whey powder and 3.6% non-fat powdered milk. Based on our observations, there are comparatively more creamers than milk products available on the market. They are sold in similar packaging and have a similar price. Without carefully reading the label, one can be mistaken for another easily. "With the words 'non-dairy creamer' and 'milk product', manufacturers can avoid the law. They can pretty much put anything inside. On the contrary, if the product is advertised as solely 'milk', there's a set regulation as to how much milk needs to be in there," he said. While the amount of sugar still keeps to its original 55/45 formula, it can be seen that the amount of milk has been reduced by a large margin. The change has been slow but progressive, and even now a lot of people still don't know what they're consuming every day. "Technically, the manufacturers are not breaking any laws. They're just tweaking with the wording and going with the loopholes they can find. And the bad thing is people just don't understand the differences," said Visith. "People need to be aware that these products are not what they used to consume, even though they still retain the same taste and texture."

Erm… that doesn’t seem plausible when it’s not really milk at all, but either ‘non-dairy’ or milk powder with palm oil etc

I don’t think I’ve ever had Tom Yum with ‘fake’ Carnation. I say ‘fake’ as it’s not the product that you know if you grew up outside Asia.

Almost everything is wrong in your post.

First of all, it doesn’t mean the screen is gone. It might be a cable or the inverter. It might be something else entirely. Have you run through any possible solutions before this point? Such as these? https://www.lappymaker.com/blog/macbook-screen-flickering/ A new screen and assembly might cost 5,500 to 6,500 baht complete with new frame, if necessary or around 3,000 for just the LCD display. Possibly another 1,000 for fitting.

1678 is not an automated system. You speak to someone and they look at your account. Going there in person is not helpful as there is nothing more they can do in person, other than say to swap a faulty SIM. What did you get from the ‘automated system’?

Do they have Condensed Milk in Thailand? I haven’t seen it. It’s either some non-dairy weirdness or some milk powder mixed with palm oil etc Condensed Milk usually comprises of Milk and Sugar. That’s it.

Unlikely. These things can be fixed relatively easily. What model exactly?

…and he understood everything that I wrote. So no problem.

You guessed wrongly. There is no mention of ID at all, so you just made that up. If you follow the thread, you’ll see that the age is also a flight of fantasy in that article. Find even a single other article that concurs. I guess it doesn’t take much for the gullible to swallow everything without question.

Sounds like nonsense he made up…

What is that nonsense you have written? It’s to do with internal regulations with regard to particular countries/regions. Sanctions? Nothing to do with it at all.

German’s companion was fourteen. You can stop trying to spread misinformation that she was seventeen. She’s not even seventeen now.

Nope German was with a fourteen year old. Now you know, you can stop pretending she was seventeen.

No, it’s you who is trying to ‘ruin their own good reputation’. It’s obvious because even you describe them as having a good reputation.

I guess that’s what you are trying to do here. You are angry and trying to strike back at them. It’s not a good thing for them to do, but your post fell down because you tried to label them as ‘unreliable’. It seems no one agrees with you on that note. Better you complain to them.

Nope, the restriction is in the hardware.
