ravip Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Just curious to know more about this, as I am totally at a loss right now. Is this affordable? Availability? Would be nice to hear some details about this in laymen's terms, especially from someone who has first hand experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaiyaTH Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 It's a 100 dollars per month for global coverage if you take the package from Philipinnes. It is not available in Thailand itself directly, else the price would be 40-50 a month (domestic service price). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GammaGlobulin Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Maybe, when Starlink works in American Samoa.... Then I will decide to retire there. Cost of service must be reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure this is 4g as in connected via sim card (mobile phone) rather than through a fiberoptic cable? some package come with sim card you can use on the phone and tablet when out and about as well and might be labelled '4g' as such 2gig down and 1 up sounds like wired broadband package, usually the provider, 3BB, AIS will provide appropriate router unless you ask for a package with no router to use your own, which is really for people who knows what they're doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddypower Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 not sure -what's what. i have fibre optic cable installed. but I pay for a low speed service ( cost is approx 750/month - not sure of the speed). in any even we will be doing a speed test, based on the existing service, this weekend. but tenant is adamant he wants the top speed service. can older modems handle todays top speeds? i.e. 2000 GB. thanks.

freeworld Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) 59 minutes ago, paddypower said: not sure of the speed You can check on the monthly bill what up and down speed they provide to you. Can also see this info if you go into the router settings. 59 minutes ago, paddypower said: can older modems handle todays top speeds? i.e. 2000 Not necessarily. You probably need a newer type router for eg.True Gigatex Fiber Router Pro (LAN 2.5Gbps) supporting WiFi6 issued by the service provider. I guess you have the network providers ONT on the wall and then one of their routers connected to that. You can check your existing router on the web, the name and model number should be on the bottom of the router. Edited May 31 by freeworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeworld Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) 7 minutes ago, ravip said: Should I change my SIM (AIS) for 5G services? Assume you mean 5G ais network service. Quite costly monthly and you need a 5G sim in a 5G router/phone. https://www.ais.th/en/consumers/package/exclusive-plan/5g-max-experience If you have a 4G sim can go to a network provider and they will change it for a 5G sim with the same number.

Yes. But as you say, it is quite costly. I think I can live with 4G for awhile more ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
