Dtac marks Christmas with faster internet speeds for subscribers

By The Nation

 

Sharad Mehrotra, CEO of Total Access Communication (Dtac) holds up the licence for 700MHz spectrum the company received on Christmas Eve.

 

Total Access Communication’s subsidiary, Dtac Trinet, received the licence for its 700MHz spectrum from the National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission on Thursday and began rolling out high-speed wireless internet service for its customers right away.

 

Dtac had been preparing for this launch by expanding its network and said it will continue to do so next year.

 

After receiving the low-band licence on Christmas Eve, Dtac said it will start turning the spectrum on region by region for Dtac customers.

 

On December 24, internet speed will be boosted in and around Bangkok and select locations in the North, Northeast and South.

 

By mid-January, approximately 2,000 cell sites will be in operation followed by expansion nationwide.

 

Sharad Mehrotra, CEO of Total Access Communication PCL (Dtac), said: “Our 700MHz spectrum is critical to support Thai people’s new connectivity needs. Mobile data usage nearly doubled in 2020, and it grew even faster upcountry. Hence, we are currently expediting the deployment of 700MHz cell sites to serve our customers nationwide.”

I was been used DTAC for 8 years without problem and from lasts months I am loosing speed, some time difficult to get access to internet. DTAC shop assured that was my phone. I bought a new Iphone and same issue. Have a monthly pack about TB650. While my wife use a fantastic speed with AIS. Soon I will changue of company.

I pay 449.- for 250/250 (but I usually get around 350) from CAT. I don't experience any more throttling during nighttime if there's any, but I do experience slower speeds on sports streaming sites overseas (though that is most likely more limited by the other end's bandwidth distribution during high traffic). What's more confusing is the ridiculous routing. Its going all over the place before the connection ends up in Europe. Connecting to say a news website in Norway can take 3-4 seconds, while its less than a second anywhere outside of Europe. Youtube, Netflix, PlutoTV etc I have zero issues with, not even when watching 4k content.
