I had 500 Mb before and IPTV not stable too much buffering, switched to 1000 and it stabilized

Reason for that is ISPs throttle speed by the amount of money you pay. 3BB cheapest package International speed vs top package speed ain't the same (1000/300 vs 1000/1000).

didn't know that was possible, one get a service and that's what it is,  why does it has to be standard vs top package if they don't advertise it that way, sorry but don't agree package is a package and only changes depending on the amount of extra stuff one adds to it, they me offered 1000/1000 but it had movies, games and some other stuff that didn't interested me, I only need internet and then they offered me 1000/200 and here again they had some movies then again I declined and told them internet speed that's when the tech came out and told me 1000/300 to 500 would be good and that's my subscription 1000/300 and it (was) working  fine until changed the damn "new" router and things went the slow motion/shut downs/restarts without my knowledge/permission and can't accept that, 3BB should inform me of their intended actions/activities on my router so to avoid future misunderstandings I started to look for alternatives and directed myself towards AIS now it's on their hand if they want new customers or not but honestly it appears they don't give a rats azzzzzz about new customers as they told me " this what we have, you take or you go somewhere else" I know Thailand is know for this type of answers but, but.... like the one who said '' up to you""

I always used top package at 3BB and when I moved my active subscription from one location to another in Phuket, I didn't get the advertised speed while tech people were in my home. Even speedtest was slowly going up to 600-700 mbps and nowhere near 940 mbps in local speedtest server. Upload speed was also lower than 200 mbps or so. Then I asked them and told them my package is 1000/1000 and they realized they made a mistake. One call to 3BB center and my package was correctly set. Then, I can get 940/940 easily and quickly with same settings, same router, same LAN cable.

 

ISPs has to prioritize traffic depending on the subscriber. Otherwise, nobody would get higher end packages when all download speeds are equal. If cheap package bandwidth is shared with 50 people, maybe mine is shared with 20 people (20:1 contention) and those numbers are just guesses.
