Hi Bill, Can you please go to speedtest.com & check the speed.You will get a yellow icon,just click on that.Then re-do the test by clicking on the small map & say pick any part of the states & do the test.Would be very interesting to know the results. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samui bill Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 but just looked at the speed on the device and 115mbps,its still very quick and i use it to talk to the uk uk using msn messenger with a webcam and mic with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJ Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 <br />Done the speed test 180.3mbps<br /> isn't it more 180.3 kbps wich would be 1.5 mbps your solution is extremely intereresting considering the cheap price per month and avoiding to have to install a new cable. i went to a nightmare story to get internet in my home(see my post in the samui section) and i wasn't aware of that solution.

danw Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 That's fast - much better than people were reporting using the cat CDMA device 1 year ago - samui bill please could you tell me the make and model number of your usb device?

angiud Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Done the speed test 180.3mbps I guess you mean 180.3 Kbps. My adsl connection 2mbps give me a real test speed of about 1800 kbps (1.7 Mbps); so I'm curious to know if your real speed is only 180 kbps, about the same when I use my aircard with GSM/GPRS/EDGE One-Two Call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angiud Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) Yeah, when 3G will work in Thailand the speed will rise at around 1 mbit. Sometime I use this with one two call SIM card About 130/150 Kbit/s Edited August 8, 2008 by angiud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samui bill Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 It might be saying that speed but it only takes about 4 seconds to get onto any website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHJ Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 i think the best thing to do is run a speedtest on speedtest.net and copy the result using the forum link, just under the share your results. they'll appear like this : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhereman60 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 It's a good item. FYI it's not available in Bangkok or surrounding 25 providences. You need to go to Hutch not CAT there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1unique Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Since they have yet NOT licenced mobile phone networks to use 3G in thailand the max speed from any air card is still about 180kbps download. I use an air card as a back up or if I am outand about.. it works OK. but sometimes gets Disconnected every 30 mins, and have trouble to re connect. but on the hole its a good lifeline. and I get 100 to 140 kbps most of the time. I pay 200 baht for 3000 minutes with AIS When 3G gets liceneced it will be expensive, I recon they will have speeds from 500kbps to 1mb. I predict that They wont give the same 2mb speeds as you can get in UK with 3G devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danfred Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Here's some test results to/from the United States using the CAT CCU-680 CDMA modem... Throughout the day speeds are consistently over 800kb/s. The best thing about this service is that it's always up unlike TTT ADSL which in my case looses sync 5-10 times per hour. My location: Roi Et, appx. 2km from CDMA tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgjackson69 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I have the Hutch AirCard, it is dog-slow. Granted, the card is a couple of years old, the newer gear may be better. No matter, I will be dropping the Hutch service and using GPRS/EDGE (True and/or AIS) as soon as I get my new phone unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
