Mickeymaus Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 You should check with your Internet usage and with your devices which provider is the best at your location and then buy a SIM at Lazada or Shoppee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably was just the area we are located in but Ais was at least as good if not faster with a 10 mbps compared to the dta 20mbps. It seems even while using it as a hotspot while on holiday it never seemed as fast as the Ais . I am going to by a Ais 12 months now on Lazada and see. Just bought a tp link pocket wifi and that has improved speed quite a lot compared to my old Samsung hotspot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't need to stick to the phone number why don't you buy at Lazada or Shoppee? Much cheaper there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwak250 Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Just bought a 30mbps Dtac so it should be at least as good as my current 20mbps Dtac maybe slightly faster.

Not necessarily, even though it may state ‘up to 100 Mbps’, the speed depends on your location, as you found out when comparing DTAC and AIS. I can only receive around 4Mbps with DTAC at my location, even with a max speed plan. With AIS I can get up to around 17Mbps. That’s why it was suggested to you to run speed tests before committing to a longer term option. The SIM above needs your device to be able to see LTE Band 40, so it’s not for everyone. If you don’t use more than 100GB monthly, your best bet would have likely been the AIS Marathon SIM. Edited January 18, 2023 by NextG 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In October last year I still could buy this monthly AIS 30 Mbps with unlimited data. I did not find it anymore. Only 20 Mbps. But in my condo DTAC was better anyway. Have DTAC now. True Move wasn't good in my condo too with my SIM router. Edited January 18, 2023 by Mickeymaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks yes Ais has not only been better at my location but also when we travel we have used both Ais and Dtac and it seems almost always the Ais sim provides better speed. Thats for your reply i might look at the Ais 100gb monthly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairynuff Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I’ve been using True 1 year.unlimited SIM for around 4 years now. I can’t confirm the speed but can confirm that I stream via my Samsung phone hotspot to my TV and it works extremely well wherever I’ve used it. True don’t sell them in store but Lazada and MBK have them for 1800-1900 baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no restrictions other than it being on LTE Band 40. It can be used on higher floors, depending on the available signal. Get a base SIM and add a small package for the purpose of testing; https://www.totmobile.net/en/Prepaid/710.aspx Though you might need a device that you can manually choose the LTE Band 40, otherwise it may roam on Band 1, unlike an NT Wireless SIM which is Band 40 only. Enquire at a TOT/NT office as to coverage. Edited January 18, 2023 by NextG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked their other warning. Yes my router can handle LTE Band 40 2300. Can I find out if it is available at my location in Pattaya? I found something on their site but it didn't work.

The TOT Service Center is on the way. I was a VERY unhappy TOT Internet customer very many years ago before I changed to TT&T / Maxnet and then when they stopped their business was transferred to 3BB. But perhaps TOT changed...
