stubuzz Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 My daughter's 1 year unlimited data sim is now not working well and giving less than 0.5 Mbps speed when tested. The app shows that it is still valid for 100 days. Her mother's DTAC sim is still giving the full speed in the same location. Anybody having similar issues?

lopburi3 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Is it unlimited but reduced speed after set amount by chance? Likely she (if teenager) is using a lot more data than wife. Are they actually the same data plan? They provide so many different plans really need to read fine print and check amount of usage if there are speed limits. Edit: missed your thread header, as often done, and seems that provide answer. Only 15mg are at full speed. If google that card name get: "Data 15 Mbps 100 GB and unlimited data with 128Kbps" Edited December 14, 2023 by lopburi3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetops Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I have what sounds like a similar package (Max speed 15Mbps, unlimited data) and a few months ago had a similar issue - it's discussed on here if you have the time to dig around my old threads/posts. In summary, DTAC told me usage of 100GB per month is what they consider above average and when they will start restricting it, even though this didn't appear anywhere I could see when I purchased it. The above poster appears to say he can see it currently so maybe they've had a few complaints and added this info now. I used to leave the TV on whenever I was home which accounted for a lot of my usage so I've modified my behaviour in that regard and it now seems back to normal. Check her data usage and see if this is perhaps the same in your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeworld Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) 1 year unlimited sims also have a data cap at 100GB per month. Need to check if that has not been exceeded. My new True 1 year unlimited sim is like that. Edited December 14, 2023 by freeworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New SIM might have that restriction. All my SIMs are unlimited with no stated FUP. OP needs to check with DTAC on 1678 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even went to their office to get one but it was a holiday Monday and they were closed. When I next had an opportunity I'd heard back from DTAC and changed my habits as mentioned.

Of course they reserve the right to ‘protect the network’, but if it was sold as Unlimited with no speed reduction, then that is what you should get. If you don’t think your usage excessive, complain or ask for a refund. None of my SIM have a stated FUP figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two different products: The one from DTAC costs 1790 and has a 100GB limit. https://www.dtac.co.th/prepaid/products/ready-sim.html The one from independent distributors costs 1990 and has no stated limit.

NextG Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Examples: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/dtac-15mbps-100gb-60-12-i4821140658-s20032870789.html https://www.lazada.co.th/products/dtac-unlimited-15mbps-wpn-mobile-i2010874838-s6475016835.html Not same… But perhaps people buy the cheaper without realising. If DTAC try to pull a fast one, then ask them to explain the price discrepancy between the two. If would be moronic for them to expect customers to pay more for exactly the same thing.

Agree, I have had NT sim for data and they are unlimited for data and max speed 300Mbps works quite well in Bangkok. Bought and tried dtac sims as well a few times but had constant buffering a eventually gave them away and stayed with true and NT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NextG Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 As an aside, AIS is again offering unlimited monthly data promos for new SIM. Unlimited 10 Mbps is now a hefty 482 baht, as compared to 200 baht previously. All networks offering the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same one they are selling in MBK: data 15Mbps 4G/5G unlimited, 60 mins free call per month to all networks, free calls to true numbers 15 min per time.

Though 100GB is not an Unlimited SIM’, you using the same term for both is somewhat confused. Hopefully we’ll get an update from the OP. Since his has 100 days to run, it’s not a new SIM.
