AndyAndyAndy Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Currently I'm paying 700 baht/month to 3BB for home internet. But I also have internet in the telephone, which costs me 2000 Baht/year. So I could just share my mobile internet at the home and stop paying 3BB? Or maybe buy another SIM card with yearly internet and use some router that can handle SIM cards? It's not only about money, but I also have a lot of issues with 3BB and I have to every month drive to pay for it in cash. I just like my yearly mobile internet better. Does anybody use it like that? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on a 700 odd Baht a month package, internet / TV package / some other box with all sorts on it ( Youtube, Prime, netfix etc ) and a mobile sim. The only additional bill I get is when I phone the UK on the mobile. Which isn't very often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post timendres Posted January 16 Popular Post Share Posted January 16 I am using my phone for Internet now, as I wait for AIS to install in my new place. I hit the monthly data limit in 2 days. Had to pay 159 THB to extend my limit. I believe you will find the data limit is the issue. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on the 3BB Bht 700+ VAT package 'out in the jungle'. Get 1Gb/sec download, very few faults, optic direct to my router which is included. Using a mobile SIM would probably be a lot slower depending on where you are and how many other people are on it. Just watched Napoleon in 4K via an Android app and Bluestacks. Doubt whether that is possible on a SIM. I pay via Bkk Bank Internet Banking. Edited January 16 by KannikaP 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Mobile Internet exclusively Consider the NT Wireless Thunder SIM as your first port of call. Unlimited data, speed not capped @ 999 baht per annum. But it is NOT for mobile use, but a fixed point. So if you have a good LTE Band 40 signal at home, you are set.

Test both services via a browser. Go to speedtest.net and find out how they both perform. My mobile network gets maybe 40Mbps - often less - and the ping test is about 40ms delay. My 3BB fibre gives me close to 500Mbps consistently and about 9ms ping delay. And I could pay extra and get 1GBps with 3BB fibre. Emails and Facebook etc - OK to use mobile. Movies and IPTV etc - fibre is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he doesn’t know that 3BB is faster? Why are you writing nonsensically? I use my mobile connection for streaming media. Are you suggesting that 40 Mbps is only suitable for ‘Email and Facebook etc’? You are literally making it up as you go along 😊 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post noobexpat Posted January 16 Popular Post Share Posted January 16 Definitely all the cheapskates use sim cards instead of buying wifi 3BB fibre in the condo at 7k baht pre paid per year. 200b month for AIS unlimited 4g. I don't see what the issue is with these dirt cheap prices. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few threads confirming what I assert with regard to mobile broadband speed tests and Speedtest.net. Take a look for yourself or remain… uninformed. Up to you. Mine isn’t a opinion, yours is. As to what he knows… read his OP. “I just like my yearly mobile internet better” I think I’ve covered everything. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoDisplayName Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 True gives us fiber to the house, router included, with a phone SIM card for my cellphone for 400/month. Add another 100/month for honeybunny's TV box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
