I'm also on 400/400 - I assume 790 is a typo as it should be 749 inc vat.

I've currently used the free "swop" function in the 3BB phone app to change to 500/300 and the 3BB speed test on my desktop (connected via cat-5e) shows I get about 520 down and 310 up. I tried to change to 600 down/200 up but still only get 520ish down and 200 up. I'm wondering if I need my 3BB router upgraded to get higher speeds than 500 down. My current 3BB supplied router is HG8045A running in bridge mode connected to an Asus RT-AC86U router. All cabling is cat-5e which supports gigabit speeds. Any comments?

Perhaps change your cable to a good quality cat6?

I'm on 700/700 set as 900/500 (because you can never get past 930 mbps so why 1000 eh?) and I can get 920 mbps or so from speedtest using ac86u router in bridge mode but my router is fiberhome (black one with 2 antennas) AC1200.

[muratremix]

Those deals are insanely good but require 24 month contract. 

1000/500 seems to be sweet spot. It was 1000/200 for basic package, it seems they reduced it to 100 lol.

@muratremix thanks for the reply.

I was already contemplating changing the cable to cat6. My desktop is less than 2 metres from the Asus router, which in turn is next to the HG8045A router, so I would need only 2 short cables. As for "good quality" cat6 cable, are there any brands you would recommend?

[KhunBENQ]

Have entered a change request to 1000/500 yesterday.

Waiting for response.

So far I paid for 100/100 (590 Baht plus tax).

The got upgraded to 200/200 but now back to 100/100.

Enough for practical use, but for the prices offered I can't resist and try.

This I don't understand.

 

Why were you downgraded back to 100/100 ? As far as I'm aware that package doesn't even exist anymore

[Nero Dog]

Signed up on the 21 Feb

They agreed to install a week later. 

Never turned up. Finally contacted them. Waiting for parts. 

Another date agreed. 

Again never turned up or made contact. 

No reply to phone calls to the sales person. We are probably blocked on their phone. 

Paid up front of course for the installation and first month. 

Beware! 

[BritManToo]

Thanks, just applied on my phone app to change from 200/200 to 1000/100.

I got a message ...... "Please wait for our staff to get back to you"

So maybe it requires more than just flipping a switch at their end ..... was tempted by the HBO for an extra 40bht/month.

40 bath /month for all HBO stuff ? new movies/shows, everything? that's sounds like a good deal, worth to try, going to give them a call and see if I qualify for their promo

[GeorgeCross]

I think all these new packages come with a 24 month contract - thats what i was told last week for the 1000/100 package

Up until now, every 1 GB service offer I've seen from 3BB required a 24 month service commitment, either for new or existing customers. And I called them a month or so back, and was told/confirmed that the 24 month deal would still apply to me as an existing customer, if I wanted to upgrade to 1 GB service.

 

But in the details posted by the OP above, that now seems to have been reduced to only 12 months for existing customers.

 

Quote

In the case of existing customers, the service period is 12 months from the date of using the service. E 3BB GIGAFiber. If the service is terminated or terminated before the expiration of the 12 month service period, the company has the right to charge an entrance fee and / or installation fee at the rate that has been determined.

 

If it's really only a 1 year commitment, that I would go for, even in these currently unsettled/unsettling times. But especially right now with the way things are going in TH and the world, I wouldn't commit to a two-year service contract.

Not sure what 'HBO Go' is ...... seems to be streaming on all devices, tablets, phones, tvs ....... wherever you are.

 

As for length of subscription, I don't care been with them 8 years already.

And if I'm dead paying won't be my concern.

I can't get any detailed info on that, that's why I asked, would like to know if need a new box, how it connects to the devices, etc., I remember last year they gave me a free 1 month access to it but had to be nearby any of their access points or something like that, tried it 2-3 times and gave up as it was not connecting, maybe they improved the service

The 'HBO go' app on playstore says much the same (doesn't connect).

The building opposite my own has fibre, but mine doesn't because the building owner "doesn't want it" despite the fact the ISPs told me they'd install it for free. ????

Brand doesn't really matter, just don't buy cheapest of the cheap cables. If you can touch them before buy, you'll see the difference in terms of quality. I usually use modem-provided ethernet cables and they work fine. My NAS device is next to router so length is not an issue.

Most likely because it isn't 30 March yet.

 

By the way, the HBO go app and the 3BB HBO service are 2 different things.

 

3bb offers the service through their own cloud tv app' and which will also include the Thai film network Mono Max, which works only with your 3bb user account, while the HBO go app will work on all networks.

 

I was also told today by 3bb that in the near future all packages will be 1Gb download, only the upload speed will be different depending on your monthly subscription price.

Yes you are correct, I thought I had read somewhere that it was through their own cloud tv app, but is also says the following.
