ikebukuro5 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 In the span of a week I have tried these packages: Indy 5 megs international 2.5 to 4.2 megs local Thailand 4.5 megs steady Premium 2 megs international 300 kbps to 1.7 megs local Thailand 1.7 megs steady 10 Megs 3bb TT&T new package international 1 to 3 megs local thailand 8.5 megs So the clear winner and best packate is Indy 5 megs. Has anybody actually seen close to 10 megs international on this new package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikebukuro5 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Mine is being installed this weekend, so will report then but its got to be better than TOT! Anything is better than TOT, even sending a message in a bottle is faster! Good luck about having them do it over the weekend... Try it for a week or so and then I recommend you go to 5 mb Indy, you get about 3-4 megs international on average, the 10 meg package is about 1-3 never, ever going faster than that. 10 megs BB3 Goes good to bangok at 8.5 megs but who cares about that? Indy 5megs goes 4.5 to bangkok but who cares about that either? What matters is international speed and Indy 5 MB is King for that. Cheaper AND faster. What a Joke...

SweGuava Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I am having my 3BB 10M installed this weekend as well, on Sunday. I hope they show up. They have been calling every day this week and asked if they could come right away, but we declined. So it wouldn't surprise me if they do a no show when they are supposed to come. I don't care if I won't come close to 10 Megs, but I do hope it will be faster than my existing True 2Mb which is lousy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anybody actually seen close to 10 megs international on this new package? What's the cost for these packages? And what is the difference between Indy 3MB and Premium 3MB, I know Indy is 590 baht/month but the Premium 3MB is over 1,000. It's the same speed (3MB) so what is the difference? Their brochure is in Thai so I can't tell what the advantage of going "Premium" is. Is it worth double the cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paveet Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 10bb is actually not bad for international near Thailand though.. of course speed falls as distance increases I got this setup about 1.5 weeks ago, general browsing feels faster than CAT 2/2mbps I had before. I'm only about 500 metres away from the DSLAM though. When you get things from rapidshare with download managers, it caps the line so that's also quite nice from today just now at 10.30 - 10.45 pm: local places near by USA... (this is doing better than yesterday.. maybe people are out on Friday nights?) Europe.. Australia.. I'll leave Africa out of this whole list for you Problems I've felt with Maxnet after being with CAT for 3.5 years is that they don't have direct links to Europe.

ikebukuro5 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 That 8 megs and 5 megs is pretty impressive! It's 11:30 now in Pattaya and I'm creeping towards 4 megs on my 10meg 3BB package. Was only about 3 megs all day. I'll try again at 5 am and see what happens.... If I can get 8 megs from let's say 5 am to 10 am I'll be happy. But for now my 5 meg Indy still revs faster until further notice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquisitive Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 What is "Indy"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Indy is a cheap package by TT&T Maxnet that is targettet towards Thais and Thailand-only browsing. A few people reports it works fine oveseas but most reports, including my own experience, is that most of the time it sucksl for overseas browsing. The alternative is Premier, where again some people report it is no good, but most, including my own experience, is that it works fine most of the time. Briefly. YMMW.

Phil Conners Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Yup, it does seem like video streams are throttled at around 35-45 kb/s. Wonder which genius through that one out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beggar Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I had with Maxnet also many packages. The worst of all was Premier and the best was Indy 5 Mbps. Premier did not make ANY difference for me for normal sites but a big one for downloads - it is slower than Indy. At Indy the download always worked at the rated speed. At Premier too - but the rated speed for the same money is much lower ;-) In addition to this I had endless load errors with Premier. But let's face the facts. Maxnet is/was bankrupt. It was a great ISP at least for Thailand. Perhaps too good for the endless downloaders - do they even look at their endless downloads? The future will unfold within the next months. Hard to believe that it will be like before. Maxnet (TTT) should apply download limits within reasonable borders and ask for higher fees outside them. Then not everybody has to pay for the extreme downloaders. And I know some downloading all the movies 24 hours and never looking at them... We all pay for it.

MattCinderey Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 How much is the 10mb Package? You're going to need a very good line and be pretty close to the DSLAM for the modem to negotiate that rate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 AIS GPRS, because my bloody phonelines (TT&T0 and internet (Maxnet) are completely dead for over 48 hours now. And no news when they might get around to fixing it And to be honest, it's not even half bad, perfectly usable for just surfing the web and e-mails... Speed consistent internationally as well.
