I am not sure what they claimed, since he told me I would have maximum wherever I went, and therefor I tested innthe shop before we left. As you see, more than 50mbs during the test in my previous post. 

 

He would have known about the free faster 2GB of data from the ZEED SIM and that it was a 10 Mbps package. Will you insist on a refund? I think you have a case for it.

you can get unlimited 1 year sim with 30Mbps
which is more than enough to stream 4K
most people have little reason to require duper fast speeds these days unless gaming or transferring large files etc
but phones simply have an overkill connection already these days when working as should.

 

I haven't seen those 30 Mbps 1 year SIM. When last did you find one?

We experienced the same with true, and dtac for one time one year unlimited which turned out to have a monthly limit. 

 

They only focus on sale, and say whatever they need to say to get a sale.

Another option if you have good reception up-country: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/6-nt-wireless-net-thunder-599-i5169617634-s21904984233.html

We just been back, and where told 10mb/s so will see when back up country how it works out. All the messages received about top up account is regarding sms and phone.

 

"Your balance is insufficient to use the service. Please top up and try again."

 

It have been 100sms with all kinds of information and offers and reminding me to top up my account.

 

Will additionally buy the D-tac tourist Zim just to try and compare when back home. We do have a mobile broadband router in the gym, so it will be a good back up Zim for all of us.

Don't waste your money on the Tourist SIM. Why pay 1200 baht for one month of 8 to 20Mbps? Don't just throw money at things and hope for the best.

NT SIM 599 for six months might be better in your router. You should check what's best.

Ehh unlimited data for 150 baht per month? Right, at 56-128kbps speed lol.

I thought that too. I'm on WiFi at home and almost everywhere else. I just wanted cellular data for the odd occasion when I'm not. I have True pre-paid on my main mobile and AIS pre-paid on my backup phone. I've subscribed to the 1Mbps unlimited data add-on packages at 1,800 baht per annum for both. Admittedly, the speeds vary, considerably. Just done a test now and I'm getting 101Mbps downstream and 5.15Mbps upstream. Most times it is around 50Mbps down and 25Mbps up. Approximately the same for both providers.

Those tests are cached. You don't see the real result. Try downloading an actual file or using a test that isn't subject to tampering.

Thanks for that! Tried Testmy.net and I'm getting 1.2 Mbps down and 1Mbps up. Same for both True and AIS. Proves I don't really need it because I've never noticed. Certainly not for two phones. I have streamed audio via bluetooth to car media player and that was satisfactory.

Im getting a bit tired of trying to cut through the jungle of providers, and find something that actually works well. 

 

I had one year data subscription with d-tac a few years ago for 1200baht, and it worked great until we where going to renew the subscription, and we did not get unlimited anymore for some reason. We changed the sim and they promised it was going to work, but guess what it did not. In the meantime I left for work, and started all over with true, and long story cut short, it didnt work out well either. 

 

I will report back when home if AIS working as promised with 10mb unlimited.

Latest test at hotel looks promising, and they must have adjusted something in my subscription after we where back and complained.

That's extremely expensive.

I got 50Go for 30 days @ 20Mbps for 300thb.

Can't remember how much the SIM itself was.

Company is called True.

I have no use for unlimited calls.

Most of the time I'm on the hotel Wifi anyways.

50Go is more than I can use really.

 

1000+ THB seems super expensive !

Use TestMy.net Internet Speed Test as above

 

10Mbps for 481.50 is relatively expensive. Just order the other SIMs and test them. With the amount you are prepared to spend on a Tourist SIM, you can try out every option and then stick with the best. Otherwise you are putting yourself in the position of simply not knowing and paying a lot for the privilege. 1700 baht for one month of Internet usage. NT SIM is 199 baht for one month or 599 baht for six. Perfect for your modem if it supports Band 40 and you have coverage. Take your time, don't rush.

[GypsyT]

I'm not expert on Internet but I noticed one thing; If you use VPN it robs lot of speed!

 

VPN from overseas needs over over 100/100Mbps. In same country only 20/20.

Will you have a Super WiFi Hotspot at home?

 

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve by posting a Hotspot speed test.

You'll likely get 10Mbps with the mobile connection and no more. It's ok, just a bit expensive and perhaps not so good if more than one person is using it.

This is the very same AIS I already bought to have as cell phone sim and broadband, and will use my cell phone as a Hotspot. 

 

Since I complained I had great reception and download as oppload. Even he ping looks good now.

No, it isn't. You connected to WiFi and that is why you see a higher speed. Likely there will be no AIS Super WiFi hotspot at your home.

Please STOP using that test. I don't know how many times I have to tell before it registers. It is not reliable.

Thank you, but I always thought Ookla app was the best tester? I also see your tester is pretty flat out 10mb pluss minus even we are on the buss moving. 

 

Anyway, I have used Netflix for a few hours now, and are satisfied. No lagging or disconnections so far.

The networks 'game' the Ookla test.

 

10Mbps is good for most things. It's the price that is high. Which is why I suggested GoMo if it's going to be more than just one month and you are happy with AIS.

Please...stop arguing on this. I don't need to see a CNET review. I'm telling you what is actual. Look at the results from @The Fugitive earlier for confirmation.

Is this the normal behaviour here? Where someone asks for help, but people like yourself post only unhelpful and insulting comments towards them? Why would you do that?

It's their primary gateway to the Internet. Didn't you read that?

All SIM cards are on all the time. Probably best to buy one from 7-11 and use that.
