It's 20 Gbps or 2.5 GB/s, not 20 Mbps, that would be totally pointless.
I'll ignore your closing remark as like all the rest of your reaction posts you always revert to condesending, offensive name calling when posters don't agree with you!

No, it is not. Who supplies 20Gbps mobile data? 😊No one. AIS 5G maximum throughput is 1Gbps.

If you weren't such a dumbster, you might have appreciated that I was supporting you. Happily I can now let go of such a notion and leave you to your fate.

AI Overview

AIS 5G delivers top speeds reaching up to 1Gbps (1,000Mbps) or faster, utilizing 5G Standalone (SA) technology for ultra-low latency and high-speed data transmission. Top-tier AIS 5G Max Speed packages offer this maximum speed, with some plans offering over 80GB of high-speed data before throttling.

Enjoy.

it's a workaround that provides a temporary data package at a maximum output speed of 2.5 GB/s from the ISP

😊 No, it is not and the fact that you are pulling down a mere 25Mbps(3.13MB/s) is testament to that. Stop continuing to make a fool of yourself. I tried to help you. I won't be trying that again 😊

3.13MB/s is a far cry from 2.5GB/s, wouldn't you say?

You're obviously easily "chuffed" as you put it, and it's not a workaround that solves the problem, it's a workaround that provides a temporary data package at a maximum output speed of 2.5 GB/s from the ISP, my S26 has a maximum data speed capability of 1.2 GB/s (same as all high-end models) this figure is based on the phone sitting under a mmWave node. This data speed is further reduced when the phone is indoors and then reduced even more when the phone converts it from a cellular signal to a wi-fi signal for mobile hotspot, it's then further reduced by the distance to the receiving device and by the receiving device itself,under speed test at my android box I am actually getting 25 Mbps with a latency of 220 ms. I can watch my streaming programmes with a few swconds of buffering every 10 minutes or so, but the real downside is that the phones CPU has to work at its peak to provide the mobile hotspot wi-fi function and as such gets very hot and as such protects itself by disconnecting the mobile hotspot and will not reconnect until within its operating temperature parameters. So get off your high-horse and do some actual due diligence so that you know what you're talking about before posting criticising comments.

Got it, 25 Mbps, a bit of buffering and a warm phone is a full blown tragedy. You’re getting free unlimited WiFi while they fix your line, not a perfect replacement. A few years ago that would’ve sounded like magic, internet from the sky on your phone turned into WiFi, but now it’s a crisis. Take the win and move on.

Your last reply to me.

''If you can't contribute anything better than that I would suggest you go and join your optic cable in the trees, swinging from branch to branch is probably more up your street than intelligent conversation.'' Condescending, offensive....for sure!

I agree - this isn’t really an infrastructure failure so much as a human one. What stands out is the complete lack of communication and coordination, with one authority acting unilaterally and clearly assuming they can do as they please because they “own” the poles.

Its almost arrogance and then combined with poor planning, short-term thinking, and zero regard for downstream impact, is what causes the real damage - and I agree - it seems like third world thinking - probbaly due to a lack of accountability.

The repeated false restoration times and vague updates just highlight a lack of accountability, lack of customer management.

It just a system where responsibility is blurred, decisions aren’t thought through, and there’s little incentive to do better - its frustrating - but also why Thailand is better to live - the alternative is a Thailand fill of Karens complaining about every little thing and then its not relaxing or fun.

What makes Thailand a great place to be most of the time, is also a double edged sword.

To be fair to Thailand - its connectivity (and the cost of it) has been excellent for a long time. That applies to most areas, and even outside populated spots, MiFi tends to work extremely well.

Where I see the real issue is with the service providers - throttling and choking. I see this all the time in the UK, and also in Thailand (particularly with True) - although I’ll admit there’s probably a bit of confirmation bias in that.

In the UK - the internet regularly stalls. In Thailand - same story. We’ve complained, it improves briefly, then drops off again. It feels like TV streaming is prioritised - that never seems to be an issue - but general internet use (computers, phones, iPads, everything) just slows or cuts out across the board.

It’s not a Thailand-specific problem. I suspect it’s down to ageing infrastructure, but I don’t know what the real fix is. Especially in Thailand, where in a moobaan you’re often locked into a single provider - no real competition, and not much incentive for them to properly resolve anything.

I'm on the verge of dropping TrueMove all together - and relying on MiFi (in Bangkok) as their system keeps being choked - at least taking control with a MiFi option means if the service drops in quality - I can switch when I want.

Congratulations to you richard, out of all who posted in response to my op you are the only one that actually grasped the essence of my post was the last paragraph. Which referred to how backwards this country is in certain aspects and how there is a complete lack of communication, coordination, accountability and customer service. Most of the other posters did what they normally do and respond with sacastic, pointless and ego inflating posts, yet never realise how pathetic they make themselves look to anyone with a modicum of intelligence. Just goes to show what dregs of society AN attracts these days, think I'll probably stick to Reddit in future, much more inteligent and knowledgable patrons.

Probably better if you close this post as, other than Mr Richard Smith, most responders haven't got the wherewithal to actually understand the context of my post.

I was actually coming round to the idea that Thailand might be slowly but surely dragging itself out of the 3rd world country stigma, but this fiasco has turned that idea on its head, I am actually lost for words trying to fathom the absolute stupidity someone must possess to make a decision like this, not inform the ISP's beforehand, and not realise the consequences of their actions.

Like this never happens in the West or in the USA. Nope. US ISP's are up 110% and never go down because they are The Most Exceptional Nation in the World.
