New Higher Speed Package From True

[griser]

Was at the true shop today and noticed a brochure in thai.

Asked my wife to look at it and she tells me that true is now offering higher speed DLS for lower prices.

new prices:

512/256 540 Baht

1024/512 599 Baht

1524/512 750 Baht

Higher speeds as well. all listed in Thai on this website TrueCorp High Speed DSL

There is a link to a page to convert your existing account over to the new price! If anyone has any other info onthis let me know.

Will it actually make any difference? Or will we all end up with a lower ACTUAL throughput (as opposed to the MAX throughput they promise but practically never deliver)

Well for me it will, I stay in Thailand for most of my transfers of data.

But your right only time will tell.

They will just sell more of the lower package deals, which will become even more useless as new subscribers choke the already bad infrastructure.

I assume that the higher stated speeds will work similar to the previous lower speeds.

I wish True et al, would just stop these blatant rip off promotions.

They all need to stop selling and start improving.

The internet service in Thailand is rubbish!

If it is the same as they have been advertising lately believe it is a promotion for customers of UBC/True Visions or mobile phone/True Move rather than new pricing for those they already have in the snare.

We currently subscribe to TRUE ADSL 1Mbps at 890.-/month and also subscribe to UBC.

My wife just called TRUE at 02-900-8000 - here is the info she got:

For now True will not yet make any changes in our case because their first priority is TRUE MOVE customers.

Everybody else, who is not a TRUE MOVE customer, will have to wait until after March 06, 2007 when they will put up an on-line application form.

Two options will be open to us:

1) stay with 1Mbps but pay only 599.-B or

2) upgrade to 2Mbps at the same price of 890.-B

so, let's wait and see how things work out in March.
