Farangdanny Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Does anyone have any experience with Sinet Fiber Internet ? It seems cheap, is it any good ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau thai Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 i find it very good and have done for years. good discount for annual contract. excellent customer service on phone or Line. great at advising planned outage (not often but usually 3am) , and good at advising unplanned outage and again when fixed, by sms. allow suspension if away for a while.

sfokevin Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Same here... Have their basic plan and pay annually for free extra 2 months going on 5 years and it works out to less than 400 baht/mth... On the one or two occasions there was a problem I have called them and they spoke English and sent someone out the next day to check... Never experienced any slowdown in bandwidth either... The basic plan is more than enough for YouTube & Netflix on my Apple TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not familiar with your box... I watch movies in 4K on Netflix but my Apple TV has 8gb of ram that can easily cache the entire movie...

Bri19000 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I had it for a few years but recently got rid as I couldn't rely on the service. I work from home so need to be connected 24/7. I had the 200/100 speeds and couldn't stream anything without if buffering like crazy. The service would drop for 2-3 hrs at a time randomly. I've now got the True 500/100 service and it's such a difference, watching full HD no problem with 6 other devices connected via WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure your Apple TV is caching the whole movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerox Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 For me SINET worked excellent, good price and only two minor outages in 3 years I used it. I quit the contract recently and they let me out of the contract right away and refunded all the prepaid money. Good service imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure your Apple TV is caching the whole movie? As I tried to allude to it really depends on the quality of the box (In my case a Apple TV) and the technology the streamer uses... In my case it’s Netflix that can compress 4K to 3.5-7gb an hour and then serve it up to me on their own app... Someone with a generic box trying to download bootleg content may not get the same result... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techno Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I recently cancelled as there were long periods of time where there was no internet. Returned the equipment and now with True and no problems and much cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Talk to your neighbors about what works well for them. Sinet fiber is installed in our building and works well, but it may not work this well everywhere. They recently did an upgrade to 5G, increasing the speed nicely at no extra cost.
