we bought a 'D' Link at Tech City (3,500 Baht) that works with a AIS SIM.  600 Bhat per month for the sim and gives us unlimited download and high speed.  never regretted it. We do our internet stuff off it, including streaming movies and of course, it fits in the pocket so goes everywhere with us. Great bit of kit. . 

Can you please mention the 'D' Link model?

That's odd. How do they block mobile data usage? Sounds like nonsense.

Maybe they tagged the SIM number to the router IMEI number? It is possible...

Kids have taken it to Koh Chang.  I will revert when they get back.

I have 4 cams that watch over my property and I access them through an app on my phone from anywhere.  Why would I need another piece of equipment? 

me too, excellent for watching the cat when we are away. App works well, except a little slow to turn the camera remotely.  Has a microphone too.

I think i know exactly how they all work, so quoting 'unlimited' without parameters is wholly pointless.

New SIMs don't have truly unlimited data. So a lot of the advice here is completely misleading.

 

Consistent with what you've been saying, in my experience, the Thai mobile providers most of the time (always?) are doing one of two things:

 

1. they'll offer an unlimited (I think always with "fair use" provisions) data plan that's capped by speed.

 

or

 

2. they'll offer a speed unlimited data plan that's capped as to the amount of data.

 

I can't recall ever seeing a Thai mobile plan here that was uncapped as to both speed and data quantity.

Show us the data limit of this plan before the speed is capped(you mean throttled anyway) ; http://www.mybycat.com/en/PrePay.php?package=90_แพ็กเกจเสริม-my-เน็ตเพลิน-1,-4,-6-Mbps

 

 

There are these limits in the T&Cs on the CAT page via Google Translate:

My pc gets 500 up and down and the phone is 5GHz.  My kids in the States don't get close to that.

Connected to gigabit fiber or AIS NextG 4G+Wifi?

 

Couldn't image that speed on 4G alone. In Thailand (and most other places) 4G is running on far lower frequencies - DTAC uses highest frequency at 2.3 GHz, the rest are 2.1/1.9/1.8/0.9/0.85 GHz.

 

I get a little over 1 gbps up and down with AIS 1000/1000 fiber but nowhere near that (more like 30-50 mbps on average) on 4G in center of Bangkok (AIS/True and a little slower DTAC).

D-Link Dir 825 with the standard Huawei all from 3bb  went up to 500/500 just recently for the same price I was paying before

That's fiber connection then, not 4G connection. The OP was inquiring about 4G.

About 3BB though - I used to use them after moving there from dreadful service of True. Years back, when inquiring about anything faster than 16/1.5 mbps ADSL, they told me to move to the other side of the road. After years of battling with them, I passed 3BB shop and asked. They told me no available slots but come back in a week to check again. Next day I saw 3BB truck near my place and that evening passed by 3BB shop to inquire when I was told - yes, we have now. A day later and I had 3BB VDSL (was no fiber on offer yet then). And I do remember they kept upgrading me every time they lowered prices to the next package at the same price, so I ended up with 75/30 package. But then cables were moved underground and I think something got messed up so it became really unstable and with all the attempts they could not fix it. As I tried to get rid of TrueVisions anyway I've installed AIS Fiber mainly for TV but as AIS also kept upgrading me, I've ended up on a far more reliable and fast connection so after paying 3BB for kindness another year, I've cancelled it. Would not hesitate to give them another try if I got a new place.

 

True though... would never even inform you of any changes. If you went there and want to cancel the thing because they were ripping you off for past few years, they'll say - OK, we adjust the price from next month... If anything broke down, they threatened with fees for sending engineer in case this was my problem. Basically trying to intimidate users to put up with crap service. I'm very happy I got rid of them both for internet and TV. So stick to 3BB. They're good. Or if you have to change one day, don't downgrade yourself to True.

Yes fiber and router puts out 2.4 and 5K WiFi

You are funny. You seek conjecture via comments made anonymous forum members to trump actual TOS. 

 

I've read scores scathing reviews of people who have been cut off by various other providers. It can and does happen all the time.

 

Clearly tho you cannot be wrong, even when you so clearly are ????

 

I've had my fun paddling your arrogant pooper. ????

You have the information.

Ignore it and bask in your malinformed delusions at your own peril. ????????

 

Adios!

 

So link to one of the reviews from any of the providers in Thailand.

Surely if you have read scores of them you can publish one here.

I'm sure it will be informative to the readers here.

Anyone can make things up, as you have there..

I stand by my statement that they are truly unlimited products.

Whereas you are simply trying to move the goalposts from your initial claim that a volume data product which is then throttled to perhaps 384kbps is somehow 'unlimited'.

The fact is that you know nothing and the only person agreeing with you appears to know just as much as you, since they are paying 600 baht a month for a product about which they know nothing.

Ignorance is bliss. Enjoy.

It had already been posted, by myself in an earlier post. But it means nothing, since absolutely everyone who purchased the capped speed products, tether from them.

The T&C are there to protect the networks so they can reserve the right to do so. But it has never been acted upon. Which is why Happystance cannot find a single example in Thailand, whilst claiming to have read scores.

Lies.

We had the tethering discussion a while ago and everyone who has the products is still happily tethering.

No one, has ever been thrown off of singularly nor throttled.

 

The only people who are being throttled are the people who buy packages with throttling(SIMs registered after the 1st of Feb. other than myCAT).

Perhaps you should peruse the thread, before re-posting what has gone before or simply repeating things that have already been proved.

 

Once again;

 

if you are looking for truly unlimited in both bandwidth and volume, click here and scroll down to the Internet 4G Unlimited Internet at Max Speed of 300 Mbps @ 1500 baht

 

 

Unlimited in both speed and volume. Now you know.

Nope. Absolutely no reason to do so and never been done before in Thailand. Is the Router even a branded AIS model? It's more likely that the owner does not have a clue.

Why are you making it about you? You already have your setup. This is for FatProphet.
