Can you please tell us what is the 4G+ router you have, or show us a picture maybe?  50 MBPS is quite good enough for most people!

Please, Mbps, not MBps. There's an 8 fold difference.

Thanks, Bradiston, please explain, I thought both meant Mega Bytes Per Second, or am I wrong?

Mb is Megabit. MB is Megabyte. There are 8 bits in one byte. It's called an 8 bit word. Each bit can have a 0 or 1 value. Binary system!

Hopefully this link works.  I randomly chose Hua Hin to generate the link, but the map can be zoomed out, moved and re-zoomed in to the user's preferred place. I found it a useful comparison tool when choosing a supplier when I was looking.  I found one supplier that was pretty useless in my area so was able to avoid them.

Unlikely. Plus there is no more NT Thunder 12 months. 1,3 & 6 month SIM are being phased out.

 

Is this confirmed?  I thought I spotted annual ones back on sale from a supplier I've used before (as well as a couple I haven't) although they haven't reappeared on the official sales page.

That's a different product, with a different name.

 

200GB monthly limit and then slowing down to 1Mbps.

OK, thanks I hadn't picked up on all the details.

 

Still seems good value and seems to indicate they aren't losing the frequency band, which was mentioned in another thread as the reason for the discontinuation of the original product.

It's their band, but they have an agreement with DTAC and get to use the infrastructure under it.

In addition, it looks to be a white label product, a kind of pseudo-MVNO. Rather than dealing directly with NT.

I once had a DTAC one year SIM. On the road it had more outages than the AIS (GOMO) that I have now.

My DTAC annual SIM has had very few outages ever.

I know it is confusing. Internet and transfer speeds are usually quoted in Mb/s, whereas storage is in MB or GB or TB.

I get 1 Mb/s internet from 3BB, not always that but quite good, and save my data on a 1TB SSD.

I think you are getting more than 1 Mbps from 3BB. 1 Gbps perhaps?

That is just people around here being too anal.  Stating the speed is always assumed Mb even if someone types it as MBPS or whatever.

See my apology above. 1 Gb/s from 3BB.
